until maybe the last part of the
game.”
Neither Osborne or Jayhawk
coach Glen Mason said they thought
Nebraska ran up the score. Mason
said he was happy with his players'
effort.
“I believe you’ve got to play one
play at a time,” Mason said. “We
did that. I’m just proud of them. We
didn’t give up, we just got beat by a
better football team. No embarrass
ment in that. If anybody thinks our
team gave up, they're crazy. I feel
good about the way. we hung in
there.”
Nebraska senior tight end Todd
Millikan, who had three receptions
for 57 yards and a touchdown, said
Osborne wanted the Huskers to play
a strong 1st quarter. In its previous
five games, Nebraska had been
outscored 48-30 in the 1st period.
Nebraska responded by scoring
28 unanswered points in the opening
quarter and held the Jayhawks to 30
total yards of offense. The Huskers
scored every time they had the ball
in the quarter and racked up 198
yards.
Af ter Kansas received the open
ing kickoff and was unable to move
the ball, it punted to Husker junior
wingback Richard Bell, who re
turned the ball 14 yards to Kansas’
33-yard line. It took Nebraska six
plays and 2:20 to score on Taylor’s
. '■ » ■ —-----1
1-yard run. t ,
Kansas’ 2nd possession started at
its 20-yard line and ended at the
Huskers’ 49. The drive was aided by
two Nebraska penalties, which ac
counted for 20 yards.
Kansas junior punter B.J Lohsen
punted the ball to the Nebraska 3
yard line. The Huskers took 2:21 and
seven plays to score on Millikan s
22-yard touchdown pass from Tay
lor. Nebraska held Kansas on us next
possession and after another Lohsen
punt, took over on its 42-yard line.
On the 2nd play of the drive, Taylor
gained 18 yards on a run but got ip
slowly after he was tackled by Kan
sas linebacker Jason Tyrer. Osborne
said Taylor suffered a pinched nerve
in his shoulder. He later relumed for
a brief stint in the 2nd quarter.
Junior Gerry Gdowski entered
the game for the injured Taylor and
led the Huskers on the final 39 yards
of the drive in two plays. Tyreese
Knox carried both plays and scored
on a four-yard run.
Nebraska’s final Ist-quarter
score came after Kansas quarter
back Kelly Donohoe was sacked for
an eight-yard loss and Lohsen
punted to the Nebraska 36-yard line.
Junior split end Morgan Gregory
fielded the punt and raced 64 yards to
the end zone.
“They (the blockers) set up a real
good wall and I just had to make sure
I caught the ball and got to the wall,’’
Gregory said. “Then I had one guy a
little bit outside the wall who got a
little piece of me, but I was able to
stay up and then just run it in the end
zone from there.’’
The Huskers’ first 2nd-quartcr
drive ended in Nebraska’s 5th score.
which was set up by Knox’s 51-yard
run. Knox’s run helped set up fresh
man fullback Lance Lewis’ 5-yard
touchdown run, which gave Nebraska
a 35-0 lead.
The Jayhawks moved the ball to
the Nebraska 29-line but had to settle
for a 50-yard field goal by sophomore
Brad Fleeman. Floeman’s kick was
the 1 a field goal for Kansas this year
and hit the bottom of the upright be
fore bouncing through.
The Huskers responded with a
five-play, 71 -yard drive in 1:20. Full
back Bryan Carpenter scored on a 31
yard run to give the Huskers a 42-3
lead.
After Kansas and Nebraska ex
changed possessions, Donohoe
teamed with senior wide receiver
Willie Vaughn on an 89-yard touch
down pass. Vaughn’s reception was
the longest pass jplay against the
Huskers since 1976.
Nebraska then put together an
eight-play, 61-yard drive. Freshman
quarterback Mickey Joseph contrib
uted 42 rushing yards to the drive,
setting up freshman 1-back Leodis
Flowers one-yard scoring burst.
Nebraska ended the 1 st half with a
49-10 lead. Seven Huskers scored
touchdowns.
In the 2nd half, the Huskers scored
one touchdown :n each quarter. Tay

Bell’s 55-yard punt return for a touch
down was nuiiiuca oy a rougmng-me
kickcr penally.
Nebraska had 12 penalties for 100
yards. The high number of penalties is
a concern, Osborne said.
Osborne said Nebraska will need to
play well next Saturday against the
Oklahoma State Cowboys, who arc 4
0 and ranked 13th in both national
wire polls. The Cowboys defeated
Colorado 41-21 Saturday at Boulder,
Colo.
‘If you look at the
stats, (Oklahoma
State) looks as
good as anybody
in the country.’
- Osborne
“If you look at the stats, these guys
look as good as anybody in the coun
try,” he said.
Osborne said the Cowboys’ skill
K>sition players, including split end
art Lee Dykes, quarterback Mike
Gundy and tailback Barry Sanders, are
as good as anybody in the nation.
T‘I don’t think there are very many
schools that have three players on the
same team of that quality,” Osborne
said.
