Opinion by Steve Taylor
Following the 61-7 devastation of his
Oregon Ducks, shollshccked coach Don Read
pulled out all stops in praising his
conquerers.
"In all my years of college coaching, I've
never seen a balance like Nebraska has," he
exclaimed. "They are every bit as good as
the Oklahoma team that beat us 68-3 two
years ago."
The Nebraska victory was the most
declsiv? opening game win in 50 years and
spawr.cJ visions of football supremecy in the
minds of Husker partisans. The crimson
attired throng of over 76,000 had occasion to
cheer seemingly, every five minutes, even
when Nebraska's. third and fourth units were
battling head-oh with the Duck's first team.

Husker fullback Gary Higgs (46 powers
through the Oregon line for his first
college touchdown.
Oregon's effort to stay in the game
Saturday was hampered by a confused
defense and a punter who must have. had.
arthritis.'
John Nehl lent considerable credence to'
the Oregon nickname "Webfoots" by
averaging only 29 yards on his first three
punts. Each one of those shanks put the
Huskers in great field position and all three
times they scored swiftly.
The first Nebraska touchdown came with
less than four minutes gone when rejuve
nated flanker Don Westbrook took the ball on
an inside reverse and sprinted 22 yards Tor
the score.
Five minutes later, on a third and nine
situation, Westbrook caught a short pass
from David Humm and outmanuevered the
Oregon secondary to complete a 34-yard
touchdown play. The Cheyenne, Wyo.
speedster later said he was amazed at how
open he was after catching the pass.
Though most fans were out of balloons,
Nebraska's point onslaught was far from
finished.
Still in the first quarter, Humm faked a
handoff and hit Larry Mushinskie with a
36-yard touchdown pass. Mushinskie was so
wide open he could have somersaulted into
the endzone (like John O'Leary did last year).
A safety, a Humm quarterback sneak and a
field goal made it 33-0 at halftime.
The second half was a contest between
Nebraska reserves and Oregon's fatigued
first unit. Nebraska kept pouring it on and
the final score was an astounding 61-7.
Perfectionist defensive coach Monte Kiffin
was generally pleased with the defensive
effort. Though most opposition touchdowns
usually stir him into something which
resembles a war dance, Kiffin was not too '
disappointed by Oregon's late score.
"Sure we would have liked to have a:
shutout," he commented. "But the most -important
thing is to get a kid in the game. ' '
That goal was accomplished as 70 Husker '
players saw action. Freshmen Monte An
thony and Darrel Walton both got in and both
were impressive.
Next week the Huskers travel to Wisconsin -where
the Badgers will seek to avenge last :
year's heartbreaking defeat. The game will
be regionally televised and millions of people
(including AP voters) will get a chance to see
iust how good Nebraska is. , . ; V :
How good are they? Anyone who saw the '
game wouldn't hesitate to. testify they are a
superior team to the 1973 Huskers. There are
more runners, more speed and apparently
more confidence. !
So Nebraska is off and winging in the 1974 !
season. The Huskers proved Saturday they
will be a thorn in the side of any team that '
dares to lock horns with them.
Better keep stocked up on balloons.
