"This is not going to be a pleasant week,
Osborne said. "We have to. restore their

enoih to be treated nice." V
,: Maskers are still stinging from their
21-10 loss to Missouri before the home crowd
.at Memorial Stadium Saturday, their worst
defeat in six years.
fThis weekend the Huskers meet Kansas
University in Lawrence, Kan., a team that
Osborne called, "'the best team we've faced
this year."
' ' A lot of mistakes
Looking back to the Missouri loss, Osborn 3
said he didn't see any poor effort,' just a lot of
mistakes
"The players knew it would get hard,"
Osborne commented. "But they thought i;

field position was the key Saturday, plus the
two turnovers that resulted in Missouri
touchdowns in the tout in quarter.
"We expect to score 24 points when we
have field position like we had," Osborne
said. "There were a lot of third down and
fourth down plays we didn't convert into first
downs."
Team relaxed
Osborne credited the dt
fense with three

I (.1 . '
quarters of oood play, but hinted the team
might have telaxed after taking a 10-0 lead
with 11:15 left in the gain.
"The defense .ml take all the blame,
Osborne added. "'I wo of the touchdowns
have to be chained up againr-t the offense."
Turnovers were -e so a factor, according to
Osborne, whoso tcatn lost the ball four times,
compared to one m'scuo by I ho Tigers,
"Any time you inae (hat many more
mistakes than a good opponent you're in hot
water," Osborne said.
"Missouri was a different team when
Sieve Pisarkiewicz entoied the game as
quarterback late in the third quarter,"
Osborne continued. "Thier defense re-
mainprf rnnsistant. and may have gotten an
emotional lift from Humm's injury."
Best effort needed
Osborne didn't use Humm's injury as an
excuse, saying Humm hadn't been moving
the ball before the injury.
Osborne said he plans to continue letting
Humm run with the football despite, his
injuries, because "a quarterback has got to
run to keep defenses from stacking up.
Despite the long injury list ader the
Missouri game, Osborne said he expects
everybody on the team to be ready to play
this weekend. .
This includes l-back John O Leary, who
missed the last three games with a broken
jaw, defensive end Bob Martin, who was
sidelined with a knee injury and defensive
tackle Ron Pruitt, absent from the last three
quarters of the Missouri game with a
b'prained ankle. , 1U .
Osborne said the Huskers will need their
best effort to beat Kansas Saturday.
"If we don't beat Kansas we'll really be in
the soup," he said.

Th Huskers descended from

their I0S3 to Missouri and now
will try to rebound against an

-Anything less than their best

the Huskers to Lincoln with a 3-3
record. This week's predictions:

When the blackshirts are

have one of the toughest de

their poise will be severely
tested Saturday as they faee two
