Four pages In the Colorado Football Media Guide
are devoted to "Buff Milestones." One such entry
reads: "November 2, 1833 Colorado plays first
opponent from outside state boundaries, lose to
Nebraska in Boulder, 23-10."
' What was then a novelty has become a ritual as
the Cornhuskers have defeated Colorado 15 times
in a row and 20 of the last 21 times the teams have
met Saturday at Memorial Stadium, Nebraska will
be shooting to extend its victory string against the
Buffaloes.

Hnskers lead the Els Eight la hitting ca
dency, service aces and Mils per came with
an average of 13.7.
Because of Nebraska's dominance and Colorado's
lack of a natural rival, Buffalo head coach Bill
McCartney has made Nebraska hi3 team's bluest
game of every year. Defensive coordinator Lou
Tepper said it hasnt affected the team that much,
though, as it prepare for the game.
"Nebraska's the number one team on a lot of
teams schedules, so it's not like we're going to catch
them by surprise," he said. "It (the rivalry) just
makes us concentrate more on what we need to do."
Many of Colorado's problems in the team's two
win, four-loss start have come about because of
injuries, Tepper said.
"Coming out of spring practice, we knew we were
paper thin," he said. "We started this year with 13
bona fide Big Eight players on defense, but now
we're holding things together with baling wire and
Scotch tape."
Colorado's defensive depth chart has become a
misnomer because of the loss of sophomore starting
linebacker Barry Remington and a shoulder injury
that has slowed won senior linebacker Terry Irvin,
Tepper said. .
"Barry Remington was playing all-Big Eight foot
ball before he was injured," Tepper said. "Terry Irvin
was our moat improved player through the Gregan
State game, but he's been playing on one shoulder
ever since." .
Colorado also lost starting defensive tackle Vince
"Rafferty before last week's 22-10 loss to Iowa State.
Tepper replaced him with Randy Hogbin.
"Randy has been an offensive tackle ever since he
came to Colorado," Tepper said. "He practiced for

UNL's men's bowling team findi itself in a familiar
position as it prepares to travel to Manhattan and
Lawrence, Kan., this weekend to finish a five-day
tournament in the Kansas-Nebraska bowling
league. . v
Coach Bill Strauh's squad is currently in second
place behind national power Wichita State in the
tournament which began Oct 1 and 2 in Wichita
and Emporia, respectively, and continued in
Lincoln last Sunday.
"There's no way we can finish lower than second,"
Straub said, "but it will take a supreme effort for us
to overtake Wichita State. We can beat them,
though."
Straub said Wichita State has been a national
; power for many years, but his team fa ready and able
to overtake the Wheatshockers.
"WeYe got a chance to be the top team in the
country this year," he said.
Straub is pinning his team's hopes on im
provement before the national flr.ab in Can Jose this
spring. To qualify for that tournament, though, the
team must win a tournament Earring a dramatic
comeback in thb weekend's tournament, Uh'L then -must
win one of their future tournaments.
They begin that quest Nov. 5 in EEelZTd-Ctatcs

Tepper said both Hejbin and Irvin will ttart
against Nebraska although Irvin b still a bit ehri;y.
, With hb "paper. thin" defense, Tepper said he
. docsnt know how he b going to be. able to stop
.Nebraska's league-leading ofTense.
"If I could pick out a strong point on our defense,
maybe I would know," he said. "Nebraska also has
the best offensive team IVe seen in my 17 years of
coaching. I thought maybe Pittsburgh when they
won the national championship in 1976 with Tony
Boraett was great, but Nebraska b better." ;
Tepper b cptimbtic, though, that the Buffalo
oCensa will put some points on the board against
Nebraska. V .
McCartney bnt so sure. .
"We need a more' effective running game which
will allow us to throw the football when we want to,"
he said. "Against Mbeouri (a game Colorado lost
59-20), we were inept at times in our running game.
We're not big and strong enough to blow Nebraska
off the ball so we've got to constantly try to keep
them off balance."
Buffalo starting quarterback Steve Vcgel has
come under fire in Colorado for hb performance in
the last three games leases to Notre Dame, Mb
souri and Iowa State. In those games, he has been
unable to complete half of hb passes. But McCart

"Steve Vogel b still our quarterback and Derek

Steve to break out of it against Nebraska."
Despite the criticbm against him, Vogel has com

seven touchdowns. ' ' ' .
