Frustrated Husker Dave Gillespie (28) couldn't quite hang onto a Davo Humm pass
Saturday. It was one of only four incompleted passes during the Huskers 56-0 rout of
Kansas.

Lawrence Kan. Casually walking off the
field to the locker room, signing autographs
and acknowledging wellwishers along the
way, UNL quarterback Dave Humm exited
after Saturday's 56-0 rout of Kansas very
differently than he had exited the week
before.
After the Missouri game, trainers and
doctors herded reporters away from the
injured Humm. But Saturday, the 6 ft. 2 in.
left-hander from Las Vegas was so swamped
by the press after his recordbreaking
performance that he was just getting into the
shower when the majority of his teammates
were boarding the bus.
Dominating the afternoon, the Huskers
outscored their hosts, limiting the potent
Jayhawk offense to just 143 yards. The
Kansans went without atirst down In the
second half. v
It was a surprising victory, considering
Husker coach Tom Osborne said before the
game the Jayhawks would be the Huskers'
toughest opponents.
The big story of the afternoon was Humm,
who set three conference records, including:
15 consecutive pass completions, break
ing the Big 8 record of 14 set (ironically) by
David Jaynes of Kansas.
Three touchdown passes to wingback
Don Westbrook, which gave Humm 36 career
touchdown passes. The previous conference
record was held by Jaynes. (Westbrook also
tied a UNL record, held by three other
athletes, of three catches for touchdowns in
one game.)

breaking the old school and conference
record set by Steve Runty last season against
UCLA.
"Better team with Humm"
"We're definitely a better ball team with
Humm out there," Osborne said. "He called
plays at the line real well,-and changed some
bad situations into good plays."
Osborne himself raised some eyebrows
when he sent Humm in for one play to break
the record for consecutive completions.
"Normally we don't worry about things
like that," Osborne explained. "But Dave is
a senior and may have never had another
chance at the record."
Humm had nothing but praise for his
teammates after the game.
"Everybody helped," he said. "We had
some great catches and the offensive line
blocked as well as always." J
Laverne Smith, the nation's third leading
rusher, was held to just 25 yards, which
broke his five-game string of more than 100
yards rushing per game.
Nebraska executed 87 plays to Kansas' 46,
gained 465 yds. in total offense and scored 42
points in the second half .
"When the offense keeps the ball, it makes
it hard for the other team to score," Osborne
said, "I told them it was important for us to
score right away in the second half. They did,
and the way they did it, (using 13 minutes of
the third quarter), was equally important."
Momentum the difference
Osborne said the big difference in the
Kansas game from the Missouri loss was
mnmonti im
"Missouri had things going for them last
week," he said. "Today we had some bad
breaks early, but the ball bounced our way in
the second half when the game was
decided."
Probably no one in the stadium was as
happy about the win as was defensive
coordinator Monte Kiffin.
"We didn't make any mental mistakes
today," Kiffin said. "We had the good effort
we always have, and we had it for 60
minutes." . . ..... ,
Kiffin said he didn't think Robert Miller s
absence from the game made a difference.
Miller, KU's second leading rusher with
more than 100 yards per game, was injured in
the first quarter. ;
"The game snowballed, especially after
Kansas had to change their game plan,"
Kiffin continued. "We forced them to throw,
and took away their big play."
Two KU passes complete
The Jayhawks did manage to stay in the
game during the first quarter, completing
two long passes to star receiver Emmet
Edwards and stopping the Huskers on some
crucial third down and short yardage
situations.
However, the spree started when Chuck
Malito recovered a fumbled punt and the
Huskers scored in five plays.
Kiffin said the defense was in the same
emotional state they were in last week.
"We don't key them up each week,
because we want to avoid an up and down
type of feeling," Kiffin said. "We try to keep
them at a constant level of emotion. ' '

By Pete Wegman

Gale Wiedow, intramurals are off to a fine
start this year.
Wiedow, who came to UNL this summer
from the University of Northern Iowa, where

factors. ,
"I have ooms real good ssSiSisruS wcrtCiDy
with me," he said, "and we haven't had a
game postponed due to weather yet."
Wiedow s only apparent problem is lack of
-officials for minor sports such as intertube
water basketball. He said that "few people
know how to play them, much less referee.
