OSU's late scoring insults Black Shirts W 1 I 1 r37 f 1 UJ by Jim Johnston Stillwater, Okla.-This is a story about 13 points. . . the 13 points Oklahoma State scored in the final two minutes in losing a 41-13 decision to the Nebraska Cornhuskers Saturday. Some Nebraska players were afraid those 13 points meant there would still be practice Sunday morning. (Coach Bob Devaney had promised the players there wouldn't be a workout Sunday morning if they played a good game against Oklahoma State.) THE BLACK SHIRTS were insulted by those 13 points, even though they were watching the action from the sidelines as the second team defense yielded the first points scored against Nebraska in Big Eight competition this year. But nobody in the Nebraska dressing room-excluding sports writers-talked about those 13 points as hurting Nebraska's No. 1 national rating. The Nebraska Cornhuskers refuse to play the No. 1 game. D U VJ Oklahoma's 75-28 rout over Kansas State could push the Sooners into the No. 1 position this week, but the Nebraska players and coaches don't really care. I DONT SEE what's such a big deal if we're No. 2 and Oklahoma is No. 1," said Nebraska flanker Johnny Rodgers. "We get a chance to play them and I know when we leave Oklahoma we're going to be No. 1." Quarterback Jerry Tagge, when asked about the national ratings, voiced the same opinion. "We don't care about national ratings," said Tagge. "We don't care if we drop to No. 2 It's nice to be rated No. I, but it doesn't help you beat anybody." Devaney, although disappointed in the play of his reserves, was still satisfied with the performance against Oklahoma State. He stuck to his promise and called off Sunday morning's workout. DEVANEY DIDN'T discuss national ratings. He knows Nebraska could have held Oklahoma State scoreless by leaving the first Cross cou scores thi Nebraska's cross country team scored its third straight dual win with a 25-31 victory over Drake at Pioneer I'ark Sat uiujy. Nebraska sophomore Bob Unger, who has now taken first place in three straight meets, led the Huskers with a 20:11 timing over the four mile course. us team defense in the game. He knows a third straight shutout would have helped Nebraska's No. 1 rating. But he also knows that team morale is important. Devaney prefers to give everybody a chance to play rather than get involved with politics about national ratings. "This is the first time our alternate units, both offense and defense, didn't play well." said Devaney. "but 1 think we learned something out there. Our alternate units are important and we hope they show improvement." Devaney, however, was satisfied with the overall performance. "I THINK WE played a good game." said Devaney. "but we played against a team that came to play football. Oklahoma State played us tough." The Cornhuskers now turn their attention to Colorado. And the Nebraska players didn't need reminding about that nationally televised date with the Buffaloes at Lincoln 3 Saturday. "That was one of the first things the guys mentioned after the game." said Husker co-capiain Jim Anderson. "We've been thinking about Colorado. It's on TV and we want a chance to show everybody how good we are." IF THERE WAS ever a time for a let down or that looking ahead feeling, it was at Oklahoma State Saturday. But the Cornhuskers survived a letdown. There's no worry about a letdown for the Colorado game.

"The entire program takes only a few hours to run, once we've got it set up," he said. "We ought to be able to squeeze it in somewhere." "The changeover is well worth any inconvenience," Smith said.
