In voting in the UPI poll of coaches, the Cornhuskers lost ground in first place votes, but gained in the overall point total. A week ago, Nebraska had 26 first place votes and Oklahoma eight. This week the Cornhuskers have a 24-9 edge, but picked up strength on the ballots that didn't rate them No. I. UPI 1. Nebraska (24) (8-0) 339 2.

Obstacles still block NU-OU 'dream game by Jim Johnston Nebraska breezed past what was supposed to be the biggest obstacle blocking the way to- a "dream game" on Thanksgiving Day. When the Cornhuskers handed Colorado a 31-7 defeat Saturday, most observers figured it was certain that both Nebraska and Oklahoma would be undefeated and rated No. 1 and No. 2 in the nation when they play on national television Thanksgiving Day. THE HUSKERS MEET Iowa State and Kansas State before Thanksgiving and the Sooners play Missouri and Kansas. Practically speaking, the Huskers or the Sooners shouldn't lose to any of those opponents. But in sports, nothing is practical. The biggest problem Nebraska and Oklahoma face in the next two weeks is complacency. Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, who calls Iowa State as good a team as Colorado, says the Huskers have to be ready to play this week. "IT'S A LITTLE tougher getting the players as mentally prepared this week as they were against Colorado," said Devaney. "Iowa State is the most improved team in the conference and they may be battling for third place." The Cyclones, after an undefeated non-conference schedule, stand 2-2 in the Big Eight with losses to Colorado (24-14) and Oklahoma (43-12). Devaney also believes Iowa State may be in contention for a bowl invitation. "If they finish third in the Big Eight they'll have a good shot at a bowl bid," said Devaney. 'They didn't really expect to win the Big Eight Conference so last week's loss to Oklahoma shouldn't have a bad psychological affect on them." IOWA STATE FEATURES one of the most talented passers in the conference. Senior Dean Carlson, who trails only Nebraska quarterback Jerry Tagge in passing yardage, has been nominated for consideration on several AU-American teams. Carlson is averaging 158.7 yards passing per game and has thrown five touchdown strikes. His leading receiver is split end Like Harris. Harris has caught 24 passes for 376 yards this season, including three touchdowns. NEBRASKA MAY BE without the services of backup slotback Glenn Garson this week. Garson reinjured his leg and is listed as "very doubtful" by Devaney. Safety Bill Kosch, who missed Monday's workout, was at practice Tuesday and will be ready for the Iowa State game. Kosch suffered a hip injury against Colorado. Co-Rec teams play Wednesday Co-Rec flag football tames, cancelled over the weekend, will be played Wednesday on the filedhouse AstroTurf.
