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.
