Coach: OU
better than
record shows
By Todd Cooper
Staff Reporter
Nebraska fans may see three bowl
games this year, according to defen
sive backficld coach George Darling
ton and graduate assistant coach Turner
Gill.
The first bowl matchup will be
Nov. 23 against Oklahoma, Gill said.
“This is going to be their bowl
game,” said Gill, who scouted the
Sooncrs’ game against Kansas State
on Saturday. “If they beat Nebraska,
they know that they’ve done things
well.”
Darlington said Oklahoma’s 7-3
record is deceiving.
“Thcrc’sno way Oklahoma should
have lost three ball games,” Darling
ton told those attending Monday’s
Extra Point Club luncheon. “They
certainly should not have lost to Texas.
They probably should not have lost to
CU (Colorado) and they certainly
shouldn’t have lost to Iowa State.
“I hope whatever they did to screw
those three games up, they still know
how to do in a couple of weeks.”
Questions from those attending the
luncheon then turned to the Corn
huskers’ bowl plans.
“We think we’re going to a bow l,”
Darlington said. “‘The Daily Nebras
kan doesn’t think we’re going to a
bowl.”
An article in Monday’s Daily
Nebraskan quoted Citrus Bowl offi
cial Jerry Banks as saying the selec
tion committee also was considering
Penn State, Florida State and Michi
gan, should the Huskers lose to Okla
homa and should those teams still be
available. Those teams are already
verbally commuted to other bowls,
though official invitations can’t be
extended until Nov. 24.
Darlington joked that formal ex
tensions from the Fiesta Bowl might
include Lincoln as the site. Fiesta
Bowl officials were considering find
ing a new home for the game, w hich
currently is held in Tempo, Ariz., if
any invited teams protested Arizona's
rejection of a state holiday that would
honor Marlin Luther King Jr.
“I’d like to mention the Fiesta Bowl
is going 10 be moved to Lincoln,”
Darlington said, drawing laughs from
the club members. “Tickets arc going
to be $30 apiece, plus car muffs.”
Bowl president: Game to stay in Tempe
The Associated Press
During a marathon Sunday ses
sion, Fiesta Bowl president Larry
Gunning announced that the game
would remain at Arizona State Uni
versity’s Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe,
