Dut, according to Assistant Sports Information Director Steve Buzzard, neither the fans nor the team have started celebrating.' The 4-0 Cowpokes travel to Lincoln Saturday for a regionally televised clash with Nebraska in the Big Eight conference opener for both teams. They haven't gone crazy or Pitt remains By Steve Hsircy TIIE COLLEGES Pitt (0-4) remained up in the dumps. But Alabama (1-3) began another run at No. 1 with a hos pitable 2 1 -30 homecoming loss to Vanderbilt. Yes, once again, the Crimson died. Coach Ray Perkins said Ala bumble's biggest problem is that "our offense has not complimented our defense." Well, gee whiz, fel las. Just say something nice to the offense. Stunning-defeat-of-the-week honors went to Houston (1-2), which fell to Louisville (0-3 going into the game). Not only had Louisville been out-scored 38-97 this year, but it was the only school to accept a forfeit offer from veteran spy defendant Flor ida.

Buzzard said the players and coaching staff realize the impor tance of the Nebraska game. "It's a big game," Buzzard said. To win the conference, this is a game we've got to have." First-year coach Pat Jones is keeping the team's rating in per pective. Tat is a realist about the whole thing," Buzzard said. "He wants good things for his players and knows what to do for them."

THE PR03 The age-old question of what happens when a resistible force meets a movable object will be acted out Sunday in Cincinnati when the winlcss Bungles (0-5) meet similarly deprived Houston (0-5) in the most crucial game of the Bottom Ten pennant race. Children unaccompanied by a dults will not be admitted. Both teams claim to have mo mentum going for them. The Bung les threw five interceptions in a 17-38 hammering by Pitt on Mon day, while Houston held itself to 133 yards total offense in a 10-27 shellacking by New Orleans on Sunday. The differences? Well, the Bun gles may be et an advantage since they will have one less day to practice. (Apparently, ABC couldn't land Cincinnati-Houston for its Monday night comedy ser ies.

"He has them believing that there isn't one game bigger than the other." Charlie Crawford will rejoin all Big Eight running back Shawn Jones in the Cowboy backfield after recovering from orthoscopic knee surgery. Jones rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns in a 31-7 troun cing of Tulsa last week. With the return of Crawford, the Cowboy backfield will pose a double threat for the I lusker Black shirts. Buzzard said Crawford Is more of a break-away threat than Jones, but "Shawn is a consistent back. He runs hard and gets three, four or five yards," Buzzard said. A key factor in Oklahoma State's quick start is strong defensive play. In the season opener, the Cow boys held Pac-Ten power Arizona State to a field goal while the offense rolled up 45 tallies. ' The defense is going to have to play as good or better than they ever have," Buzzard said. They have to shut down Nebraska, and that is a tall order." Nebraska coach Tom Osborne is aware of the stingy Cowboy defense. They have the best defensive people as a down unit as well see probably all year," Osborne said. Nebraska fullback Tom Rath man said the offense will have to attack the third-ranked defense in the country with reckless aban don. "Oklahoma State has a pretty physical defense and we will have to take it to them." Rathman, who injured his ?mUe and missed the first half against Syracuse, hopes the Huskers can rebound against the Cowboys. "I hope we can have the same reaction Syracuse did when they lost to Rutgers," Rathman said. Safety Bret Clark said agres siveness will be a factor in the game's outcome. "Well have to be mentally pre pared for them and go out and hit hard," Clark said. "Whoever out-hits who will win the game."
