Analysis by Steve Taylor
When Minnesota's shapely
cheerleaders were pressed for their
predictions Saturday they were
understandably hestitant, butj fi
nally agreed ort a narrow Gopher
. win. . . . . .
However, as the four wandtled
off to initiate another cheer, ona of
the sockSess girls looked back ind
whispered, "Nebraska by three
touchdowns." , 1
' K " I
As it turned out, even this
sincere est i mats of the Nebraska
victory margin was not enough, os
the Huhs-rs-Sliteed hor gophers,
54-0. . ' ; ,
Nebraska's blackshirts recorded
their first shutout of the season,
rendering Minnesota -immobile
during their three-quarter stfnt.
The Gophers finished vith only
' three first ddwns.i -
Hunim trzzkt roccrd '
The Huskers grabbed the opin
ing kickoff (actually Westbrook and
Bahe wrestled vith it) and rnarc!?d
85 yards to score. This time
consuming drive gobbled up 21
more yards than the Gophers could
muster all day. Tony Davis got the
JD on David Humm's record
breaking 33rd scoring pass.
Minnesota's defense then tem
porarily tightened and the Huskers
were held to a 6-0 first quarter
lead.
Soon afterward the dam that
limited Ohio St. to 34 points burst
and Nebraska rolled to three
second quarter touchdowns.
At halftime the score was 26-0
and a disheartened Minnesota
scribe sighed, "I wish I was
home." " .
The touchdown that buried the
Golden gophers came midway
through the second quarter when
freshman Monte Anthony eluded a
string of tacklers and romped to a
48-yard score. ur
Anthony, who is making a
serious bid for the starting l-back
job, rushed 88 yards in only Q
carries.
Second half exciting
The second half was equally
as exciting (or appalling if you were,
wearing gold) as the first, with tha
Huskers racking up four mora
touchdowns.
One of them came on a GS-yard
bomb from Earl Everett to Chuck
(the mosquito) Malito. .. f
"I was wondering If he was ever
going to throw it," Malito later
commented. "I've been thinking
about this one for a long time.' .
Another long Husker score, tt' .
suited when slippery Jim Burrow"
zipped 67 yard3 with a punt.
Nebraska's total offensive output
for the day was 524 yards. . .
In the Minnesota lockerrocm &
few Gopher players forwarded
their opponents a begrudging
respect, while others hinted they
wouid hooe for nothing but tha
worst for Big Red.

Minnesota; co
ach; puts foot in mout
Nobody can blame ono specific
factor when your football team gats
boat 54-0. , , ' r
Likewise, Minnesota coach pal
Sioii didn't give any one factor. as'
being the cause of his team's CAr-0
loss to UNL Saturday. ' !
However, a couple of the thlfgs
the Gopher coach said gives ene
the irrosistablo urco to send hi 171' a
pacifier so Stoll has something to
put in his mouth other than his foot
the next time his team gets beat 4
For example," Stctl said, "Ve
didn't have the -right kind I of.
;hoes," and added,.- "Nebraska's
turf doesn't seem to hold a? wct( fis
the longer1 and thicker turf beck
home." "
. Stoli then added, .."But that's the
advantage of playing at home." .

Granted, the field was' wet. .Its'
obvious the slippery field caucd
Gopher running backs to fall ddvn
a few timcsduring the game. ;
' However through rnot of - i he
game, Stoii's trccps didn't get
much of a chance to maneuver as
Husker defensive linemen were as '
rTiuch a part, erf their fcackfieldj 23

Next, Stoli throw cut this cpm,,
"We had a freshman team playing
a five-year team and we just
couldn't handle them. Look how
oid they are. They belong in the
NFL."

The statement, while an obvious
jab at Nebraska's 'red-shirting
practice, was a dangerous general
ization. Granted, Nebraska's of
fensive line is largely fifth-year
seniors. However, Stolis line only
had one athlete that wasn't cither a
junior or senior, plus the fact that
the quarterback was the only
freshman on his "freshman team."
Aqe difference no excuse
Goina further, Nebraska had two
sophomores on their defensive
term, 33 did Minnesota. While
there was an age difference, it was
a poor excuse in fact, Nebraska's
younger second and third learns
continued to move dowrsfield on
offense and contain Minnesota on
defense.
Stoll was also disgruntled rbcut
Jim Burrow's 67-yard punt return
in the third quarter. His complaint
thai hi? nunitr frank Mnf-
was roughed on the play by HuiLcr
end Dave Redding.
While his gripe may have tt-n
legitimate, Stoll should " h::vj
mourned his overall punt covtu j'S
which, on the basis of two cthsr
returns that Burrow almost brc 0,
was poor.
BiackshirU 'fired up
