Marni Speck/DN overwhelms ISU By Mike Kluck Senior Reporter AMES, Iowa — Rushing for 138 yards against nation’s No. 4-ranked defense would be pleasing for many M We certainly didn't anticipate setting any rushing records today against the best defense in college football ” Dan McCarney ISU football coach down when junior Heisman Trophy candidate Troy Davis rushed twice for six yards and die Huskers were flagged for being offsides. In Nebraska’s first six conference games, its opponents had accumulated zero yards on 18 plays during their opening drives. “We knew that you couldn’t slam it in there against that great front seven of Nebraska,” Iowa State Coach Dan McCarney said. “We though we would be able to move thelQOtball and run it some. But we certainly didn’t anticipate setting any rushing records today against the best defense in college football.” McCarney said he was pleased his team played a competitive second half, scoring 14 points to NU’s 21. He also wasn't surprised that Davis, die nation’s leading rusher en tering the game, was able to rush for 138 yards against the Huskers. Davis, who may leave ISU after this season to enter the National Foot ball League draft, did not show up for the post-game interview session.
