Huskers stampede Buffaloes in 28-16 victory
By Bill Bennett
Nebraska startinl d new four-rjarne season
Saturday, and the Huskcis hope that when 4:30 p.m.
on Nov. 23 rolls around, they will Ixj on the top of
their league with a 4 0 tecoid.
Colorado was the first victim of this new season as
Nebraska, Ix'fore 76,555 people, combined a first half
offensive attack and a second half defensive effort to
defeat the Buffaloes m Memorial Stadium 28-16.
Nebraska now faces Iowa State Saturday, Kansas
State Nov. 17 and Oklahoma Nov. 23.
Following the yamo, everyone in the Nebraska
locker room agreed that the Colorado game was a "do
or die" situation.
"We had to win," Ni-biaska Head Coach Tom
Osborne said. "If we had lost, tin. whole thing would
have been down the tub;, the Big 8, the bowl games,
everything."
"If we can win our next two games," he said,
"then we can go down to Norman with a decent
chance to win.
Nebraska's offense, realizing the "must" game
situation, scored the first time it had the ball and
continued rampaging in the first half to give the
Huskers a 28-3 lead at halfttime. However, in the
second half, the Huskers failed to score, and Colorado
held them to eight first downs.
Nebraska's final sr. ore came late in the second
quarter when the Muskets diove 71 yards in 15 plays
and scored when I back Tony Davis vaulted over the
top of the Colorado line. Ironically, this was the same
play that failed against Oklahoma State.
"It was almost exactly the play that didn't score
last week," Osborne said. "There's no way we should
be stopped a foot from the goal unless there's a
breakdown in blocking."
He said Colorado dictated the type of offense
Nebraska used against the Buffaloes. "We knew we
could move the ball and score on them," he said.
Frosty Anderson, who saw his first action since
suffering a shoulder dislocation against Missouri,
finished with two catches for 28 yards and one
touchdown.
"The way this team is, when the entire team does
well, so do individuals. An example of this is (Bob)
Thornton's two pass interceptions," he said. "I was
glad to contribute something, although I feel Dave
Shamblin carried the load."
Defensively, the Blackshirts recovered two of
three Colorado fumbles and intercepted two Buffalo
passes.
"I never really thought there was a problem,"
defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin said. "If we can
get a 14-point lead on a team and make them throw,
then we've got them."
Colorado scored a field goal in the first half and
scored twice in the second half. Their last score came
on a modification of the "swinging gate play."
The entire Colorado line set up to the left of
Buffalo quarterback David Williams, who acted as a
center and an end. Williams pitched back to halfback
Billy Waddy, who threw a 73yard touchdown pass
back to Williams.
Husker corner back Randy Borg called it a
"Mickey Mouse play." "Colorado played like we
thought they would," he said. "They relied on trick
plays because they knew they couldn't drive on us. It
really makes you mad to get scored on by some
Mickey Mouse play."
Nebraska middle guard John Bell was injured in
the first quarter and suffered a hyperextended knee.
Willie Thornton replaced Bell and finished with 12
tackles and one blocked punt. Thornton said that
when he first entered the game he felt "shaky."
"This is the eighth game, and I haven't had to go
in on any crucial situation," he said. "All of a sudden
everything was on me. It was sort of a nice feeling."
Paul Schneider, the team's trainer, said the most
serious injuries are to Bell and alternate cornerback
George Kyros. "Kyros will miss the rest of the season
with a dislocated elbow," Schneider said. "We think
Bell has only a strained knee, but we'll have to
evaluate it further."
In the Colorado locker room, Head Coach Eddie
Crowder said Nebraskans need not Ixj worried about
their football team.
"I know there has been a period of time when
Nebraska hasn't been able to move the ball and score
against good opposition," he said. "And I know that
all Nebraskans have been concerned, but they need
not lx;."
"There is a time transition when a new coach
takes over that will be a small factor," he said. "But a
greater factor has been the superior defense in the
conference this year. Overall, this is a remarkably
good Nebraska team."
