David Freud admits he doesn't know everything ibout football. After all, the small, dark-haired Israel tn ih ITnitH States in 1973. But the 5-feet-6 inch, 146-pound kicker for Indiana v University saia ne aoes Know whu icm w u Nebraska-Indiana game, Saturday. Speaking in broken English, Freud said his team, not the Huskers, played better and should have won. "If you go by their (UNL's) size and speed, they should have beaten us 100 to 0. They're big in every thing. They should have beaten us by more than they did- ' , ' . u- Freud analyzed the Husker's sportsmanship too. "Nebraska-they have a good team. They were not cocky after the game. I respect the fans here. I respect this place." Big Red fans had to respect Freud s toe as he booted two-field goals and added an extra point con version to the Hoosier's score. With the Huskers leading 17-7 in the second quarter, Freud booted a 20-yard field goal. He followed that with a 36-yarder in the third quarter to make the score Nebraska "I though we could win," Freud said. "For awhile there, I thought we could." . And if Indiana would have won? "Beautiful." Freud said. "It would have been beautiful." 3 1 Johnny who? Hipp shatters od one-game rushing record By Jim Kay Most Husker fans should agree that. LM. was O.K. Saturday during UNL's 31-13 victory over he Indiana University Hoosiers. - " . - . Sophomore I-Back Isaiah Moses (LM.) Hipp broke the school rushing record by running for 254' yards on 28 carries in leading the Nebraska offensive attack. He averaged nine yards per carry. The old. record was set last year by junior Rick Berns. He rushed for 21 1 yards against the University of Hawaii. Despite all his running, Hipp said his main worry was not total yardage. "I wasn't thinking about the yards," he said. "I was thinking about winning the game. I have no set goals, but hope to improve with each game and in years to come." Hipp, who had 117 yards at the end of the first half, credited UNL's offensive line for opening some big holes. "I think I can probably rush for 200 yards when I carry the ball 20 times," Hipp said.' "But that's just my opinion. I don't like to predict what I'll do. If I " just do my job, then whatever happens is okay." Head coach Tom Osborne said, "Hipp had a great day." But he added that over all, the Huskers did not play well. ' "We missed some scoring opportuni ties," Osborne said. "In the first half, we played terrible defense and we weren't tackling well. In the second half, we tailed off on offense. Our passing game was not good either. We've got to throw better. "But to win is still good," Osborne said. "Our players showed a lot of character. A game like this does more good for a team than winning by 50 points." Osborne said he credited Indiana with playing their best defensive game this season. "The game was closer than the score indicated," he said. Playing close was not the important thing to Indiana coach Lee Corso. "We didn't come here to look good," Corso said. "We came here to win and did everything we had to do in order to win. The secret to our good play is that our guys played like crazy. We've improved one hell of a lot since the last time we played here." Corso added that Hipp was "not bad" for a walk-on athlete. "He broke tackles, even when we were swarming him," Corso said. "He's a good lookin football player." Quarterback Tom Sorley scored twice for the Huskers on runs of one and five yards. UNL's other score came on a six yard pass from Sorley to split end Tim Smith. The Huskers open Big 8 Conference play next week against Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan. The Wild cats are 1-3 this season after losing to Mississippi State University Saturday, 24-21.
