Freshman Monte Anthony dregs a Northwestern defender Into
the endzone in the Huskers 49-7 breeze Saturday.
Terry Luck saw extensive action at qusrterbsck Saturday for the
first time in his Husker career.
uskers still in running to be national champs
'Trying to pick the national
champion in college football this
season is like predicting the
winner of a demolition derby.
Teams that have been fortu
nate enough to win half of their
games in the past have been
knocking off the powerhouses
while flitting in and out of the
top twenty. Texas A&M actually
received a vote for number one
in the latest AP poll.
For Nebraska, the result of
this chaos has been a return
engagement In the top five. A
national championship a sar
castic reference only 10 days
ago is still a possibility.
Of course there's still the little
matter of winning nine straight,
deluding the Oklahoma game.
This week's picks:
Nebraska 44, Minnesota 0
It's risky to forecost a shutout
when Husker reserves begin
filtering in during the second
quarter, but the Gophers will be
starting a freshman quarter
back. Minnesota scored only
nine points against Texas Chris
ten University without Tony
Diingy so Gopher fans shouldn't
count on an offensive onslaught.

The Aggie fairytale will come
to an unhappy ending Saturday.
Texas A&M isn't really the fifth
best team in the country.
Wisconsin 14, Missouri 10
The fact that the game is in
Madison is the only real advan
tage the Badgers have as both
teams are similar in style and
talent. Both have good defenses.
Both have dull offenses.
Oklahoma 56, Wake Forest 7
The only issue in doubt is how
long Oklahoma coach Barry
Switzer chooses to pour it on. If
he keeps his first unit in
throughout the season, his team
would average more points per
game than the Sooner basketball
team.
Alabama 27, Mississippi 16
Common sense demands pick
ing the Crimson Tide, but this
couid be another upset. The
game is in Mississippi, the
Rebels are ranked in the top
' twenty and Alabama wasn't very
emphatic in their win over
VanderbiU last week.

The Cowboys are difficult .to

The Red Raiders should remain
undefeated.
Injuries plague Huskers
As the UNI football team
prepares for Its meeting this
Saturday with Minnesota, one
big question mark In tho Husker
camp is the absence of split end
Bobby Thomas.
Thomas, a 151 lb. sophomore
from Bridgeport, Pa.,. failed to
return to practice Monday and
Tuesday.
"I haven't talked to him,"
said Husker Coach Tom Os
borne, "I've tried to, but at this
point ail I can do is speculate If
he isn't showing up for practice
he isn't serious about playing.
"I won't know about making a
decision until I talk to him," he
added.
I-Back John O'Leary is still a
ni m-jinn mark this week even
'though
with th
he resumed workouts
team Monday.
"We'd like to play him, but
we have to wait for a decision
from the doctors," Osborne
said.
Osborne also expressed con
cern with injuries to two of his
other l-backs, Jeff Moran and
Monte Anthony. Moran did not
practice Monday and Tuesday
because of a sore foot, while
Anthony is slowed by a bruised
shoulder.
Wingback Don Westbrook has
also been sidelined this week
with a bruised thigh, but Os
borne said he expects West
brook to practice today.
After last weekend's 40-7 win
over Northwestern, plus some
upsets to other top teams, the
Huskers climbed to fifth and
sixth places respectively in the
weekly UPI and AP football
poiis.
