‘Level-headed’ Grant leads NU J JAYCEES from Page 7 Mike Petko and Tyler Zahn. "You have to have that kind of support against the wishbone," Thorell said. "If you don't get any support from your safety on the op tion, it’s going to be a long after noon." Carmcr said the Nebraska defense did not make any adjustments after Air Force scored its two touchdowns. "We just remembered what coach said about them beating us the past two years," Carmer said. "It kind of got to us." Following the Falcon score, Ne braska moved to the Air Force 20 yard line in the second quarter, but missed a field goal. This time. Ne braska marched from its 22-yard line to the Air Force seven before fum bling. One of the reasons Nebraska had trouble sustaining a long drive, but had so many big plays instead was because of Air Force's blitzing tac tics. Air Force made seven tackles for 46 yards in losses and blitzed many limes throughout the game. Thorcll said Grant helped Ne braska make its big plays by calling the right audibies at the right times. "We audibied quite a bit, and (Grant) did a good job of audibling," There 11 said. "They did bring some pressure which made us change die play we had called. (Grant) is a level headed guy." Grant said he audibied cm Bald win's sccond-quaitcr touchdown run. He said he audibied a lot during the game. "I could see what was going to happen" Grant said. "I could see where they would blitz and dien we could pick it apart."

Thorell said the Husker junior varsity had ran that pass play during i its game against die Nebraska re- ■ dshirts last month, and it also worked j against them. Nebraska iced the game six min- | utes later when Gram scampered 72 i yards down the left sideline to the ' Falcon six-yard line on an option | play. Baldwin, who led the Huskers , with 134 yards rushing, scored on the I next play, giving Nebraska a 35-16 I lead. Grant said he was disappointed | that he got caught shy of the goalline > on his long run. He said the option I had been open all day long, but he I failed to take advantage of it until the fourth quarter. Grant, who threw for I 86 yards and rushed for 83 more, said 1 he has not been happy with how he has played yet this season. ”1 haven't played a perfect game yet,” Giant said.
