Nebraska's cross country team dropped its third dual meet of the season at Pioneers Park Saturday morning. Missouri scored a 24-33 win. Missouri's Brian Walsh established a new record with a 24:43.7 winning effort followed by teammate Charles McMulle. Lynn Hall was Nebraska's top finisher, placing third with a 25:05 timing. Nebraska visits Drake next Saturday. Second team scores 3 TDs in 1 2 minutes by Jim Johnston For quarterback Steve Runty and all those other guys who enter Nebraska's lineup during routine third and fourth quarters, Saturday's 62-0 romp over Missouri provided a new experience. There weren't any of those "keep that damn ball on the ground, Runty" comments coming from Head Coach Bob Devaney. It wasn't until late in the fourth quarter when Runty called a running play on a third and eight situation that it appeared the Cornhuskers were not interested in scoring any more points. "We don't shoot for a score like 62-0," Devaney said, "but it's not fair to Runty or his receivers if they don't get a chance to pass. Here's a kid who's trying to show how good a quarterback he is. He deserves that chance. His receivers haven't had much of a chance to show themselves in games this season." Runty, who completed five of seven passes for 62 yards Saturday, admitted it was discouraging not being allowed to pass during his previous appearances this year. "The receivers were probably more discouraged than I was," Runty said. "We used to joke about it during the fourth quarters. The receivers would come up to me and say something like 'Wow, I'm really fired up.'" But Runty's unit played like it was fired up Saturday. The junior quarterback from Ogallala directed the reserve unit to three touchdowns in about 12 minutes of playing time. Runty and starting quarterback Dave Humm combined to establish a new Nebraska passing record. They threw for 329 yards to break the one-game Husker record of 290 established by Frank Patrick against Oklahoma in 1967. Sophomore split end Bob Revelle, a transfer from Southern California, was on the receiving end of five passes for 110 yards. Flanker Johnny Rodgers, who brought in every pass in the five-state area, caught five for 89 yards. But Nebraska's 62-point performance was not entirely a banner performance. There were moments during the first half when the Husker offense had trouble movWig. The Huskers led only 21-0 at halftime. Mi "We decided not to try to force the ojion play," Devaney said. "We had moderate success with it this game. We used it because Jerry Tagge probably was the leading ground gainer last year with the option." But Devaney said he didn't care how the Huskers scored. So Nebraska went to its passing attack. s' "We decided it didn't make any diffe'tKce how we got the ball to the end zone, so we started to throw',' Devaney said. Although the Husker offense may have felt the effects of a two-week layoff with its sluggish startf"Webraska's defensive showing was never questioned. The Huskers held Mizzou to only 124 yards rushing and 44 yards in the air, The Tigers' Wishbone offense had been averaging 246 yards on the ground. Missouri Head Coach Al Onofrio, credited with building those vaunted defensees at Missouri during Dan Devine's college coaching years, didn't hesitate with praise about Nebraska's defensive unit. "We said before the game that Nebraska has probably the best defense they have had in years. I know it doesn't sound possible, but they do. This year's defense seems quicker in pursuit than in the past few years." Nebraska hasn't allowed a touchdown in its past two games and gave up only one score in the last three games. The last touchdown scored against the Black Shirts the first team defense-was at UCLA in the season opener, Devaney can find a lot of comfort in those statistics. Onofrio, however, can find no room to be comfortable. The Tigers meet Notre Dame, Colorado and Oklahoma within the next four weeks. per r : I f., "v-2 y It tr Y rt 'M I 0 n f Huskers' Steve Manstedt . . . wraps up Tommy Reamon. monday, October 16, 1972 'V - Jfc--., -e daily nebraskan
