Marred by 97 yards of penal
ties, Nebraska managed just 10
points after three quarters.
“The offense was real lethargic
pretty much the whole game,”
Weber said. “With a wide array of
mistakes, it was really tough get
ting much going consistently. We
could of run the score up much
earlier in the ball game.”
Instead. Nebraska waited until
early in the fourth quarter to make
the big plays. Back-up quarterback
John McMillen connected with
wingback Jeff Hughes for a 45
yard touchdown. On the ncxtdrive,
McMillen hit light end Matt Shaw
for a 46-yard touchdown.
“Wc tried to set things up so we
could run those deep plays,” Weber
said. “Wc needed that type of thing
to give us some breathing room
there, get some points on the board.
Our confidence was lagging pretty
good right there.”
The wind wasn’t much help.
“In some cases, it was just a
matter of getting the wind behind
us so wc could throw the ball deep,”
Weber said. “It was really taking a
chance trying to throw the ball 30
to 40 yards down the field into that
wind.”
But after leading by only 7-0 at
halftime, Nebraska gradually pul it
together in the second hall, peak
ing in the fourth quarter.
“We really didn’t make any
adjustments technically,” Weber
said. “It was just a matter of trying
to gel the kids to increase their in
tensity. Often times, that’s diffi
cult. If they’re not ready the day of
the game, it’s hard to pull from
within to get to that point.”
Last year’s score of 40-16, and
the fact that the Huskers were again
heavy favorites didn’t help. Fresh
men players often get caught up in
the such speculations, Weber said.
“The varsity kids arc mature
enough that they tend not to have
those kind of off-games,” he said.
“These kids have to learn that.”

Reds prevail
over injuries,
take Series
OAKLAND, Calil. (AP) — The
team no one thought had a chance
swept the World Series in a way no
one could have predicted.
A sweet and lilting ending for the
Cincinnati Reds.
Playing without two injured start
ers, forced to rely on their bench
against one of the most dominant
pitchers in baseball, the Reds found a
way to win again Saturday night.
Their eighth-inning rally against
Oakland’s Dave Stewart, built upon
two bunts and a sacrifice fly, gave the
2-1 victory and a four-game sweep of
the defending champions.
wnen oamc is rcpiayuu, uic
heroes will be remembered as Herm
Winningham and Glenn Braggs, a
pair of role players in the Reds’ sea
son-long drama. The key plays will
be the shortest hits of the entire Scries
— the two bunts.
“That’s the way we’ve been all
year, and that's the way it ended. It’s
only fitting,” said first baseman Todd
Ben/inger, who caught Carney Lans
lord’s foul pop to bring the Reds their
first Scries championship since the
days of the Big Red Machine of the
mid-1970s.
It looked like trouble early, when
Billy Hatcher and Eric Davis went
down with injuries— Hatcher with a
bruised hand, Davis with bruised ribs
and kidney.
“My heart slopped when Eric went
down,” said Braggs, who took Davis’
cleanup spot in the baiting order. “But
things have had a way of working
themselves out.” I
