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.
