First-half returns, Lessman punts prove decisive
tfu Scot! Jones
Before Nebraska's 10-7 win over Louisi
ana State University Saturday, tha Huskers
worried about their offensive line and the
linebacker and quarterback positions.
LSU had similar concerns. But, as it
turned out, Nebraska's kicking game made
the difference.
"Our biggest mistake was our kicking
game," said LSU Head Cocah Charlie
McClendon. "We didn't cover at all, and
they got some breaks on the bounce near
the goal line."
Nebraska punter Randy Lessrnan aver
aged 46 yards on three fust-half punts,
which forced the Tigers to start their offen
sive from the two-, five- and 20-yard lines.
Nebraska returned ISU's four fust-half
punts for a total of 96 yards, while the
Tigers had no return yardage the entire
game. Nebraska's only touchdown
followed a 33-yard punt return by Dave
Butterfield.
Physical team
"1 think we gave just about all we could
give," McClendon said. "Nebraska plays
solid football. They're a physical football
team. We knew that before we came down
here."
LSU center Jimmy Oustalet echoed his
coach.
"Like Coach McClendon was saying,
they are a very physical football team,"
Oustalet said. 'They just wearyou down. I
feel like I've been through World War II."
The LSU senior also praised Nebraska
middle guard John Lee, whom he battled
all day. -
Tough cookie
"I tell you what, he's a tough cookie
and a quick cookie, too," Oustalet said.
HJohn Lee is a quiet -man, he doesn't say
much, but he's a good football player."
LSU scored their touchdown when Lee
was out of the lineup tending to an injury.
Like McClendon, Oustalet said field posi
tion was important.
"In the first half it seemed like we were
always back on our own 10. Psychological
ly, that's a big difference."
Pat Lyons, sophomore quarterback who
scored LSU's only touchdown, said the
Tigers planned to throw more the second
half after only two attempts the first half.
Four pass completions
Their touchdown drive started at the
LSU 36-yard line, their best field position
of the day, and they completed four passes
for 42 yards on the drive.
"We were able to mix the pass in more,"
Lyons said. "We didn't have any ffcld posi
tion (first half), so we didn't throw. When
you're on your seven-yard line, you don't
throw."

Ron Taylor, reserve center last year for
the UNL basketball team, is scholastically
ineligible for the first semester of the 1975
76 basketball season, Husker coach Joe
Cipriano announced Saturday.
"Since Ron is ineligible and cannot
practice during the first semester, 'we are
not sure what his status will be," Cipriano
said. "We will just have to wait and see.
Perhaps he will be red-shirted."

University Saturday 49-9.

Steve Cassidy, LSU defensive tackle,
said the bad field position made the Tiger
defense play harder. Although disappoint
ed with the loss, he said the defense did
well to hold Nebraska to 10 points con
sidering Nebraska's good field position.
McClendon agreed, saying, '"Our de
fense certainly held us in the ballgame."
Cassidy, who led the LSU defensive line
with 11 tackles, explained why Nebraska
was stopped on their fourth down and one
yard attempt midway through the fourth
quarter. ;. ; V "":
"We had a stunt on to our left side, and
fortunately they ran right into our play.
The coaches must have known what was
coming," he said. Husker I-back Dave
Gillespie lost two yards on the play.
