NCAA eyes football tiebreakers
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP)
— The national championship hangs
in the balance as Nebraska, trailing
Miami by seven, scores with less than
a minute left in the Orange Bowl.
Comhusker coach Tom Osborne
faces a momentous decision. Does he
go for two points and the win or kick
the extra point and tie?
In 1984, the Huskers tried for two
and Miami pranced away with a 31
30 victory and its first national title.
But if the NCAA executive commit
tee gives its OK, the next coach caught
in that particular dilemma could kick
for the tie and then take his chances in
overtime.
At the request of the influential
special events committee,theNCAA’s
football rules committee has recom
mended that a tiebreaker system be
used in football bowl games begin
ning next season.
The system gives each team a
chance to score after regulation and is
the same that’s used in lower-divi
sion NCAA football championships
as well as regular-season league games
in the Big Sky, Ohio Valley, Yankee
and Mid-Eastern Athletic confer
ences.
The overtime system is not sud
den-death as used in the NFL, and the
clock is not a factor. It’s also the same
format that the Southeastern Confer
ence has in place for its conference
championship game.
An overtime period consists of each
team having one possession, starting
on the opponent’s 25-yard line.
The team winning the coin toss
will exercise one of two options. It
can choose to start on offense or de
fense; or it can choose which 25-yard
line the possessions will start on.
Each team will begin each possession
on the same end of the field.
The loser of the toss then exercises
its choice on the remaining option.
A possession ends when a team
scores, commits a turnover or fails to
convert on fourth down. The game
ends when the score is no longer tied
at the end of an overtime period.
The loser of the coin toss gets the
first option in the second overtime
period, then the winner of the toss
gets first option in the third, etc.
Any score by the defense wins the
game, except the return of an extra
point attempt following a touchdown.
A game also ends when a team trailing
in the overtime commits a turnover.

Continued from Page 8
during the run and finished with
17 in the game. It was the sixth
straight loss for Colorado.
Two free throws by Wald and a
shot by Boone finished the 25-3
run and gave Nebraska the biggest
lead of the game, at 93-74 with
2:54 to go.
“I thought Jason Glock, Chris
Sallee, Tom Wald and Chester
Surles came in and gave us some
quality minutes,” Nee said.
Sallee scored 12 points, coming
off an 11-point performance last
Saturday against Oklahoma.
“I thought Chris Sallee came in
and had some great plays,” Nee
said.
Nebraska shot 63 percent for
the game to Colorado’s 50 percent,
and the big difference was
Colorado’s first-half shooting of
56 percent and second-half shoot
ing of 43 percent. The Buffaloes
led 50-49 at the break.
The Huskers will face Iowa State
in Arftes, Iowa, Saturday afternoon
in a 12:45 game. Then the Huskers
will be back home when they will
take on Kansas at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center next Tuesday.

Tech and Arkansas.
Oklahoma State faced Arizona,
Arizona State and Michigan State.
Missouri competed against
Arkansas and Illinois in its non
Deadline 2:0 13 I
conference schedule.
Coincidentally, those were the
four teams in the top half of the Big
Eight heading into this week.
The bottom four teams — Iowa
State, Nebraska, Kansas State and
Colorado — combined to play only
two rated teams. Nebraska came up
with a 96-91 win over Michigan
State and Kansas .State lost to
Alabama 79-48.
Neither Michigan State nor
Alabama are even in the top 1*0.
It’s no surprise it takes these
teams, especially Nebraska, more
than half of the Big Eight season to
realize what level it needs to play at
to win in the Big Eight.
Maybe it is assumed that
Nebraska fans would rather see a
94-52 win over Delaware State than
a loss to a North Carolina, Ken
tucky or Connecticut.
I i I would hope not.
The players deserve to play in
the big games, the coaches deserve
to coach in them and most of all,
the fans deserve to see a team like
Georgetown or Syracuse visit the
Bob Devaney Sports Center every
now and then.
If Nebraska is going to drop a
few non-conference games against
teams like Texas and Virginia Tech
anyway, why not lose to Arkansas
or Massachusetts instead?
But until Nebraska decides to
schedule one of the perennial top
10 teams or a few top 20 teams, it
will be doomed to step one and step
two every year.
And this year, the Huskers might
not be fortunate to complete step
three — ruining their chance to
repeat the fourth and final step.
