"There wasn't that mucg pressure. People here got the idea after the trade that I didn't like Phoenix a wrong impression." Curtis Perry added 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Suns, who made a run at the visitors in the fourth period and were within four points (96-100) with minutes left. But the Celts squelched that threat with a John Havlicek-to-Cowens lob worth two points, a Havlicek 15-foot jumper and a White layup.

Continued from Page D-l and I was really happy to get in the game," said Mortensen. "The touchdown pass and the conversion pass were the same 'read We read what the defensive back does and either throw it up the middle or in the flat." Jefferson said the suggestion to come right back with the same play came from tight end Bruce Hardy, an ex-quarterback. "We can't get Bruce to quit quarterbacking," grinned Jefferson. "I figured they'd be watching J-J after the touchdown," said Hardy, "and that Mucker would be open in the corner." Jefferson also said that a drive resulting in a Danny Kush field goal just before intermission was an ad-lib production. We didn't have any plays," he said.

"We just tried to get open behind the linebackers and Dennis got the ball to us." Kush won it wilh 4:50 remaining on a 29-yard field goal his third of the game. "My knees were shaking when I went out there," he said. "I just tried to remember to keep my head down and my arms down and not think about the pressure." "Danny has been around pressure all his life," said his dad. "I took him to road games when he was a kid so it's not a strange experience for him. "The funny thing is that Thursday in practice he couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a handful of popcorn from three feet away." A-State linebacker Larry Gordon was named the game's Outstanding Defensive Player, though he was ejected along with Nebraska's All America center.

Rik Bonness, after a scuffle early in the fourth quarter. "He (Bonness) gave me a forearm after the whistle," said Gordon. "I wasn't going to just stand there and take it. "But we have some great people on the bench," added Gordon, who leaves with Haynes today for the East-West Shrine Game in San Francisco. "Harry (Garbarini) came in and did a good job and so did Brad (Kuburz) when Randy Moore got hurt."

I Harry Garbarini came in for Gordon, who was booted from the game with NU center Rik Bonness after a small altercation in the fourth quarter, and played solidly. I Brad Kiburz did a fine job filling for defensive tackle Randy Moore, who suffered a sprained ankle in the third period. Devil offense gained 335 yards, 162 overland and 173 in the air. The Huskers finished with 198 on the ground land Just 90 through the airways. NU was not without its heroes.

Davis, who needed 36 yards to set a school career rushing record, gained 60 on 17 1 tries, and I-back Monte Anthony rushed for 94 on 22 trips. Terry Luck, who replaced starter Vince Ferragamo after latter threw an interception on the Huskers' first series, completed 12 of 22 passes for 90 yards. And split end Bobby Thomas caught six of those for 44 yards. Linebackers Clete Pillen and Jim Wightman were in on 11 and 10 tackles respectively. And Dave Butterfield and Jim Burrow picked off ASU passes.

2 Hut for the most part, that ferocious "Black Shirt" pass rush was nonexistent. ASU center Jim Heilig and his young offensive linemates continually theld off the Huskers. Four bowl records were tied, includ- "ing Jefferson's eight receptions. i The Comhuskers received the opening ifckoff, but it didn't take the Devils long to get their hands on the ball. Like three plays.

third and six from NU's 36, Ferragamo fired an errant aerial right "into Gordon's hands at the Husker 43. The Devils moved to NU's 10, where on fourth and five, 4ush booted his irst field goal with just 4:12 gone. The drive took nine plays, and was highlighted by a Sproul to Jefferson ass for eight yards on third and -yhrce from NU's 36. On the Huskers' next series, Luck over at quarterback and Ferra-feamo was gone for the day. But Terry tad no better fortune than his predecessor at least for three series.

The Devils did escape two potential threats when the Huskers were called for offensive pass interference on 30, and when Mortensen bailed Tthem out with a 47-yard punt from his end zone. -f One scries later, Nebraska took hold. It marched 73 yards in eight plays for Ta touchdown and a 7-3 lead with 7:53 left in the half. Anthony got the score on a fourth-down dive from the ASU one. Key plays included a personal foul on ASU, which moved the ball to the Devil 41, and Anthony's ensuing 34-yard but Arizona State has a great football team.

We didn't move the ball early like we thought we could and there were several times when we started out in poor field position." Asked about the lack of defensive pressure on Arizona State quarterbacks, Osborne said, "That's the one thing that put a lot of pressure on our secondary. Maybe the defensive line didn't rush well, maybe ASU's offensive line was just giving good protection. It's probably a combination of both." Davis' fumble on the Huskers' last drive was a point of special concern for Osborne. "I thought he had the ball. I would've been very disappointed if we would've recovered the ball and they (the officials) didn't give it to us." Nebraska All-America center Rik Bonness came out on the short end of his confrontations with ASU defensive end Larry Gordon.

Both were ejected after a brief fourth-quarter fight, and Gordon was named Outstanding Defensive Player. "I'm not sure what happened," Bonness said of the fight. "It was the referee's judgement when he kicked us out, but I don't think 1 did anything to warrant getting kicked out," Bonness said as a steady stream of tears cascaded down his face. mm ASIHS Continued from Page D-l Davis summed up his feelings succinctly: "I have nothing to say." Other than the outcome, the most surprising aspect of the game was NU coach Tom Osborne's benching of No. 1 quarterback Vince Ferragamo, who never played after a first-series interception.

"That's the one thing you don't want to do," Ferragamo said. "I should have hit the fullback (Davis), but I tried to force it and it got picked off. "I guess I just had to expect getting taken out. He's (Osborne's) got his motives and makes those decisions, guess the circumstances didn't permit me staying in. You make a decision at the outset (inserting Luck) and stick with it." Osborne said he felt Luck had a better week of practice and that Ferragamo "seemed nervous before the game and then had that interception.

"We had Vince ready to go back in with seven or eight minutes to go, but I didn't want to put a fresh quarterback in in that bad of field position (the NU one yard line)." Osborne praised ASU liberally in attribution to his team's lack of success. "It's hard to convince some people, nfM(r scamper to A-State's seven. It took NU four plays, but Anthony lugged it in on fourth down. The teams' next drives ended when Mortensen tried and failed to run for a first down from punt formation at NU's 40, and Davis fumbled at ASU's 33. But the Devils got one going after that.

Mike Martinez downed Morten-sen's punt on Nebraska's two-yard-line, and after three running plays netted nothing, the Huskers punted. With no time-outs left, Sproul drove the Devils to the Husker 15, where Kush ended the first half with a 33-yard field goal. A pair of fourth-down passes to Jefferson, good for 11 and 18 yards, keyed the drive. ASU took the second half kickoff, failed to move and punted. Then Nebraska began its most devastating drive of the day.

The Huskers moved 91 yards in 16 plays for a four-yard TD by Anthony, and a 14-6 lead with 5:49 left in the third quarter. The Huskers threw only three passes, completing two but outmuscled the Devils. The march consumed nearly half the quarter, 7:11. A key play was pass interference on Martinez at ASU's four on third-and-six from the 13. Moore was hurt early in the drive, and saw action for only two more plays in the game.

The Devils then began a march of their own to Nebraska's 14, but succeeding procedure and officials penalties pushed them back, and Sproul eventually was intercepted by Burrow on the NU three. ASU held, and after a personal foul on NU following a punt, took over at NU's 37. Williams ran for 14, and on a fourth-and-one from the Husker 13, Sproul kept for the first down. He was injured on the play, and Mortensen came in. On the second play, he found Jefferson slanting across the" middle for 10 yards and A-State's lone touchdown.

Then Fred ran the same play, but instead picked out Mucker in the corner of the end zone for the two-pointer. The 37-yard drive took seven plays, and the dubs were all even at 14 with 13:03 left. A shanked 11-yard punt gave the Devils good field position at Nebraska's 38 on the next series. But Mortensen fired long for Mucker, and Butterfield intercepted at the Husker one. Nebraska had to punt again, and this time A-State took over at the Husker 49.

With Sproul back in, the Devils moved to NU's 12, where Kush kicked the game-winner. Dennis ran for 12 yards on the first piny of the drive, and found the irrepressible Jefferson for 17 on third-and-seven from the Husker 34. The Devils then ran three plays in the middle to set up the three-pointer. The Huskers didn't quit. They took the kickoff 52 yards to ASU's 21.

But on third-and-10 from the Devil 31, Davis, after catching a Luck pass for an apparent first down with 1:08 left, fumbled when he was hit by John Harris. Mataalii was there for the recovery, and Sproul simply fell on the ball three times to run out the clock. Fiesta Bowl statistics A familiar corner. A new name.
