Cats not satisfied with tying Missouri By BRAD CATT Sporte Writer MANHATTAN The 30,450 fans in KSU Stadium and the nine-Mate regional television audience had to have come away convinced Kansas State players were in a celebrating mood following Saturday's 7-7 tie with Missouri. For sure, the Cats looked like a pretty happy bunch as they staged their post-game Samoan War Dance in front of their appreciative student body. But there was a lot of backslapping no whooping or hollering inside the KSU lockerroom. There was no loud music blaring and very few smiles. If anything, the Cats seemed to be a little disgusted with themselves.

After all, a tie is not a victory and this group of Wildcats expected a win in Saturday's Big Eight Conference opener. "We're definitely not satisfied," said KSU corner-back Greg Best, who recovered a fumble and intercepted a Marlon Adler pass during the contest. "We felt we had a great chance to win this game." "I guess it's a step up that we didn't lose, but it's not a complete step," added Wildcat linebacker Dan Ruzich, who was in on 21 tackles during the game. "I guess we have to look at it as a confidence builder." Ruzich's linebacking mate, Will Cokeley, also played well (13 tackles, including a sack), but the senior from Topeka was hardly ecstatic. "This is really depressing I can't feel good about this at all," Cokeley said.

"We set some pretty high goals this year. This was a game we felt we could come out and win." KSU defenders had no reason to hang their heads. For the fourth time in five outings this season, the Wildcats kept their opponents out of double digits on the Scoreboard. Cokeley said the Wildcats had a better effort in their 31-7 win over Wichita State two weeks ago. But Best said the Wildcats "arrived as a defense" against Mlzzou.

"Defensively, I was very satisfied," Best said. "I think we proved something to ourselves today. When it was time to put up or shut up, I think we had the burning desire to get the job done." After Doug Bogue and Mike Wallace hooked up on their game-tying pass completion with 13:49 remaining in the contest, the Tigers had five opportunities to break the deadlock. But Missouri did not enter Wildcat territory until its final possession. An illigal procedure penalty on the game's next-to-last play may have cost the Tigers a victory.

Adler had apparently connected with Mlzzou split end Curtland Thomas on a quick look-in pass at the KSU 16- yard line. But the motion penalty nullified the catch and made Brad Burditt's last-second field goal try a 52-yarder instead of a 33-yard attempt. "When I saw him (Thomas) catch that pass, I said 'oh recalled Ruzich. "Then I saw the flag." Burditt's field goal attempt then came Up Just a couple of yards short of the crossbar. "At first I thought it was good he hit it right down the middle," said Best.

"Then I saw it was going to come up short. I sure didn't want to lose not on the last play of the game." The Sallna Journal Sunday, October 10, 1982 Page 27 Rozier paces Nebraska past Colorado, 40-14 BOULDER, Colo. (UPI) I-back Mike Rozier raced for 212 yards on 32 carries and scored two touchdowns Saturday to pace seventh-ranked Nebraska to a 40-14 Big-Eight victory over Colorado in the conference opener for both teams. Rozier, who went into the game ranked sixth among the nation's top rushers, scored on a 6-yard TD pass from quarterback Turner Gill and on an 11-yard run. Both of Rozier's touchdowns came within two minutes in the fourth period, dashing the hopes of Colorado which had pulled from a scoreless deficit to within 6 points of an upset win before a home crowd of 53,022 in Folsom Stadium.

The win was Nebraska's 15th straight over the Buffaloes, who dropped to 1-4 overall, while the Corn- huskers boosted their record to 4-1 and a share of the conference lead. Nebraska also scored on a 1-yard run by I-back Jeff Smith late in the fourth quarter to equal their first-half production of 20 points. Colorado scored on its second possession of the third quarter as quarterback Randy Essiiigton rifled a 37- yard pass to halfback Richard Johnson, who later scored again in the same period on a 24-yard run. The loss spoiled Essington's finest collegiate performance, as he set a new CU passing record of 24-of-51 at- Flrtt downi Ruthci-yordi Putting yordi Sackt Dy-yardt Return yards POU.I Punti Fumblm-lott P.naltl«-yardi of poiMiilon N.b 31 73-466 68 0-00 39 6-15-1 4-0 4-30 36:34 Col 21 23-107 361 3-25 19 24-51-2 3-1 4-45 23:26 tempts for 361 yards. The Cornhuskers led 20-0 at end of the first half on Kevin Seibel field goals of 26 and 31 yards and touchdown runs of 3 and 1 yards by Doug Wilkening and I-back Roger Craig, respectively.

Wilkening's 3-yard bolt into the end zone capped a 14-play, 60-yard Nebr- saka drive at 8:55 of the first quarter. He accounted for 39 yards of the drive on 10 carries. Then, with six minutes gone in the second quarter, Nebraska scored its second TD of the game, culminating an 80-yard march in which Gill dashed for 43 yards. Craig climaxed the drive as he was bounced backward into the end zone by CU's scrambling defenders.

Unranked OU rolls over Texas DALLAS (UPI) The Oklahoma Sooners were unranked, unwanted by the television networks and the subject of almost unheard of criticism in their own back yard.

12 Texas in the 77th renewal of one of college football's leading rivalries. Marcus Dupree, Weldon Ledbetter and Fred Sims all embarked on cross- country gallops to touch off the wild and unexpected offensive explosion from a team that had scored only one touchdown in its last two games. The Sooners came into the game with a 2-2 record, which had kept them from their accustomed position among the Top 20. That record also caused the networks to bypass the Texas-Oklahoma rivalry this year when it came time to select games for this weekend's viewing. And only two weeks ago, after USC had shut out Oklahoma, a newspaper in Oklahoma City suggested in an editorial that it was time coach Barry Switzer should move on.

All of that made Saturday's win especially sweet for the Sooners and Switzer reveled in the accomplishment. "This group has lost every big game it has played," said Switzer, who broke a three-game losing streak against the Longhorns. "But we won the big game today." But Switzer would not respond to re- cent criticism. "I guess I'll have to wait until next week," he said. "I guess I'll have to quote (former Texas coach) Barrel! Royal.

I'm not as smart as people think I am when we win and I'm not as dumb as people think I am when we lose." The Sooners gained 384 yards on the ground and threw only two passes in building a 28-16 lead less than three minutes deep into the final quarter and then had to come up with two defensive stands to preserve the victory. Oklahoma stuck with the I-formation most of the afternoon, but finally lined up in the familiar wishbone in the early moments of the second half. Texas, apparently caught off guard, promptly surrendered a 59-yard touchdown run which symbolized the Sooners' success on what could become an important milestone in their football program. Dupree, the heralded freshman from Mississippi who had been the subject of a recruiting war featuring both the Sooners and Longhorns, scored his first collegiate touchdown on a 63-yard sprint late in the first quarter to ignite the point-happy afternoon. Stanley Wilson added a 3-yard touchdown run for the Sooners, Ledbetter fled 59 yards for the Sooners third touchdown in the third period and Ledbetter then scored on a 15-yard run with 12:30 left in the game after Sims had set it up with a 51-yard dash.

Twelfth-ranked Texas overcame an early 7-0 deficit with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Robert Brewer to Herkie Walls and then scored on a 32-yard field goal by Raul Allegre, a 3-yard run by John Walker and a 27-yard pass from Brewer to Walls with 11:04 to play. That left the score at 28-22 and Texas gained possession of the ball two times after that touchdown. The first Longhorns' attempt to go in front ended when Oklahoma nose guard John Blake stripped the ball from Brewer, causing a Sooners' turnover at the Longhorns' 43.

Iowa State improved to 3-2 and Kent State fell to 0-5.

Brown's longest run was a 41-yard dash in the third quarter during a 64- yard drive that set up Alex Gifford's 25-yard field goal and opened a 27-7 lead.

Kroan hit Todd Feldman along the sidelines and the flanker ran 58 yards for a touchdown with 1:55 left in the second quarter.
