Such as these: east Conference, takes this honor. Where are they now? Firmly entrenched at the bottom of the SEC and 0-5-1 on the season. Football prosperity doesn't last FOREVER and the empty seats in Gainesville last week when the Gators lost to Tulsa attest to that. n r This predictor hit a season-high of 80 percent last D cjulidlO zt'mH.)!0 boost season's avera8e to 715 r The "Novel Way to Lose a Game'! award-The Stanford Cardinals win this for last week's 33-31 loss to previously winless Oregon State. The Beavers tied the game at 31-31 with .l:13 to play. On the ensuing kickoff, Stanford senior Rick Gervais caught the kick at the 2-yard line, retreated to the end zone, knelt down and was called, for a safety. The "Yo-Yo" award-Stanford takes this prize too, for the best up-and-down season so far. Picked in the presea son Top 20, Stanford opened with losses to Tulane and Army. Then the Cardinals won four in a row, tied No. 1 USC and lost' to 1-7 Oregon State. . The "Man Without a Country" award-This goes to Syracuse. The Orangemen are playing all road games this year while they get a domed stadium built at home. Their biggest problem this season has been a terminal case of jet lag. ' The "Call My Bluff award-Barry Switzer of Okla homa said all last week that Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims probably wouldn t play against Iowa Mate because of a rib injury. Well, Billy made it to the game. His totals: 202 yards and four touchdowns. The "From the Penthouse to the Outhouse" award-To all the NU Regents who want to build a new stadium, take note. Florida, Nebraska's 1974 Sugar Bowl opponent, the alma riiater of several pro stars like Wes Chandler and Tony Green and a perennial football power in the South- Gymnastics begins Nebraska's men's gymnastics team, 1979 NCAA champions, opens defense of its national title this week end at the Big Eight Invitational in Lawrence, Kan. Competing for the title along with Nebraska will be Oklahoma, Colorado, Iowa State, Kansas and Southern Illinois. Sophomore AU-American Jim Hartung, who won the floor exercises and the all-around competition at the meet last year, will lead the Huskers. But, according to UNL head coach Francis Allen, Ne braska will have a difficult time defending its Big Eight Invite title because of Injuries. The Huskers most serious injury is to senior all-around-er Mark Williams, who has a back ailment. Allen also said freshman all-arounder Phil Cahoy and junior all-arounder Chuck Chmelka are bothered by injur ies. Cahoy has a foot injury and Chmelka a toe injury. Last year, UNL won the meet with a score of 436.35, which was the 1978-79 national scoring best. He said because of the Nebraska injuries, Iowa State should probably be the favorite in the two-day meet. Celebrating!

Nebraska fans who think the Huskers should be No. 1 can take comfort in the fact that the Nov. 3 issue of 'The Sporting News" agrees. They have Nebraska ranked first, Ohio State second and USC third. Alabama is in sixth., , The question is, can the Huskers survive the trip to Columbia" to try and convince AP and UPI that they are No.l? , Nebraska at Missouri-There are two striking features which stand out when one examines recent games be tween these two schools: 1) The visiting team has won each of the last five years; 2) There seems to be no middle . ground -either Nebraska dominates by two or three touchdowns or Missouri pulls off a one touchdown upset. The warning flags about an ambush have been flying extra high this week, thanks to Missouri's poor play lately. The Tigers, 4-3, have been described as a "time bomb waiting to explode." But no one is denying that problems exist in the Missouri camp. And few deny that the Missouri offense has been about as effective as a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest. After being humiliated by giving up 476 total yards to Missouri last year, we think the Husker defense will make even twice the effort to keep : the Tigers in the offensive rut they've been running in the last few. weeks. If the Nebraska passing attack returns from its one week vacation against Colorado, this might be a rout . . . Nebraska 31, Missouri 13. Ohio State at Wisconsin-This will be your basic "Wipeout of the Week." 'Nuff said about that . . . Ohio State 49, Wisconsin 7.

Brigham Young has taken the top spot, by averaging 526 yards a game, as compared to Nebraska's 517.1 yard average, thanks mainly to the right arm of quarterback Marc Wil son. Wilson has thrown for 2,394 yards and 18 touch downs in seven games. Two weeks ago, during a driving snowstorm at Wyoming, he hit 33 of 48 passes for 448 yards in a 54-14 win. If a Wyoming blizzard cant stop Wilson, we doubt Colorado State can either . . . BYU41, Colorado 17. Navy at Notre Dame-A tempting contest for an "Up set Special." The Midshipmen had been cruising along at full speed ahead before being throttled by Pittsburgh last week for their first loss in seven contests. Notre Dame, 5-2, still seems shaken by the drubbing it received at the hands of USC two weeks ago, as witnessed by them barely nipping South Carolina last week. But two things preclude talk of an upset here: 1) The Irish's home field advantage and 2) Navy had four defensive starters go down with knee injuries last week . . . Notre Dame 24, Navy 14.
