Field goal again to be decisive in Bruin tilt
It was the evening of Sept. kicker btren Herrera had just
9. 1972 in Los Angeles kicked a late fourth quarter
Coliseum, and UCLA place field goal giving the Bruins a

Husker co-captain Daryl White
20 17 victory over Nebraska.
The loss snapped the
Huskers' 32-game winning
streak and virtually ruined
chances of a third straight
national title.
Saturday, as dusk settles
over Memorial Stadium, I
predict Nebraska's place kicker
Rich Sanger will kick a field
goal giving Nebraska a 24-21
victory.
Sound like a story too good
to be true? It does, if UCLA
quarterback Mark Harmon has
his way. Last month, Harmon
was quoted as saying, "Last
year, we had to play them; this
year, they have to play us."
Coach Pepper Rodgers'
Bruins enter Saturday's game
with 33 returning letterman,
16 on offense and 17 on
defense, along with high
expectations.
UCLA's wishbone is
stronger than last year. Besides

Although both men won't
make score predictions,
Nebraska football co-captains
John Dutton, defensive right
trickle, and Daryl White,
offensive left tackle, are
'inphatic when they say that
tfuf Huskers will win Saturday's
'i;ime with UCLA.
"Last year, we went into
thi; game half cocky," White
f.aifJ. "This year, we all know
the job we have to do." Last
year the Huskers lost to UCLA
in Los Angeles, 20-17.
"I'm in the best physical
shape of my life," he said,
"which is indicative of the
entire team, because everyone
else is probably in the best
physical shape of their
'-it eers."

HI A merican from East
Ui iMije, N.J., said the offense
will not bo affected in any way
if junior quarterback Dave
t !nmrn doesn't start.
"I he offenses geared for
I'Ot'i 'juorterbacks," he said,
"so the offense won't change if
senior Steve Runty starts."
Dutton, a 6 ft. 7 in., 248 lb.
senior All-American candidate
from Rapid City, S.D., said the
defense is "looking real good."
"Everyone is picking up on
their assignments and hustling
together," Dutton said.
"UCLA thinks they're going to
come here and face a crappy
defense, but I don't think so."
As for himself, he said he
experienced his best fall
practice', He said he was
pleased he didn't miss practice
because of injury.
Against the Bruins wishbone
offense, Dutton doesn't have
one main assignment, he said.
Dutton said the entire team
is psyched up for the UCLA
qamc because of some
comments the Bruins have
made about Nebraska being a
second rate team.
'Talk is cheap," he said.
"UCLA is going to be in for a
lot of surprises."

halfback Kermit Johnson
return, with sophomore Eddie
Ayers completing the wishbone
at left halfback.
Providing blocking and pass
protection for the Wishbone is
an offensive line which
averages 6 ft. 3 in. and 252 lbs.
In 1972, the offense rushed
for 3,810 yds. and passed for
653. Rodgers said, "UCLA will
be more familiar with the
wishbone attack and thus
should improve and expand
it." Rodgers has indicated
some of that improvement
could come in the form of
more passing from the
wishbone formation.
The Bruins return nine of
11 starters on defense, but
those nine men had a hand in
allowing three touchdowns
each per game last year. This is
a problem Rodgers hopes to
remedy.
"Defensively, we were able
to fill a lot of inexperienced
spots with some new men and
some who have improved since
last year," he said.
Rodgers summed up his
team by saying, "We will have
a very exciting team that
should be right in the thick of
the race throughout the
season."

However, before its Pacific
8 conference schedule starts,
UCLA must first get by
Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan State
and Utah. The Bruins probably
will beat the latter three teams,
but they won't beat Nebraska.
