AMES, Iowa — Of the 45,000 fans
at Cyclone Stadium on Saturday, at
least one-third were cheering for Ne
braska.
Ana iowa state
coach Jim Walden
loved it.
Walden, prob
ably coaching the
last game of his
eight-year stint at
Iowa State, said
the red-clad
Cornhusker Ians
\kimiitmn prompted Iowa
""°*n State’s fans to yell
back for the first time all season.
The Big Eight Conference has sus
pended Walden from this week’s
game against Colorado because of
comments he made about the officials
after Iowa State’s loss to Kansas State
on Nov. 5.
“Today points out one thing to
Cyclone fans,” an emphatic Walden
said after Iowa State’s 28-12 loss to
Nebraska. “Our players play better
when there’s a loud crowd and they
support us. If I could leave one legacy,
all of our fans need to look out there
today.”
A closer game than expected, com
bined with the noise that the Husker
supporters generated, provoked the
home crowd to cheer, Walden said.
“Whatever it takes,” he said,
“come on. Get in the games and cheer.
Wake up. Get up. Don’t come here
and go to sleep. They have been asleep
probably since I’ve been here. Get the
big crowd and get involved with the
football team. Cheer for them. Scream
for them. It will make a difference. It
did make a difference today.”
In holding top-ranked Nebraska to
its third lowest offensive output of the
year, Iowa State’s 105th-ranked rush
ing defense held Nebraska, ranked
No. 1 in rushing offense, to 106 yards
rushing through three quarters.
Walden said the Cyclones could
not have played so well without the
support from the fans.
“It’s the first time this year we had
a crowd that helped us,” he said. “I
know there were a lot of Nebraskans
out there, so you had a mixed-over,
crossed-over cheering. But in the
“Look at yourself today.
What did you do today
that you don't do
normally? The next tune
you come, do it and help
your next coach and
your next team. ”

end,the teams don’t know which
people are cheering. They all think
they are cheering for them, and it’s a
wonderful time. It's sure better than
those 38,000 asleep.”
Walden had a final message for the
Cyclone fans.
“Look at yourself today,” he said,
raising his voice. “What did you do
today that you don’t do normally? The
next time you come, do it and help
your next coach and your next team.”
Walden said the Cyclones would
have a difficult time rebounding for
Colorado next week because of the
emotion and energy they left on the
field against the Huskers.
Even though he won’t be coach
ing on the sidelines against the Buffs,
he said this week would be business
as usual.
“It won’t be much different,” he
said. “I quit calling plays about two
or three weeks ago, because I was tired
of seeing bad plays called.”
Walden said that as he walked
through the tunnel with his team for
the last time, he reminisced about the
time he spent on the Husker sideline.
Along with Nebraska coach Tom
Osborne, Walden was an assistant
coach under Bob Dcvaney at Ne
braska from 1969 to 1972.
“I was thinking about how I used
to be over there on that sideline with
Tom and thinking I was such a great
coach because we were beating every
body. Maybe I should have stayed
there.
“But it was a good run here. I
didn’t win nearly as many games as I
would have liked to, but what coach
ever does?”
