He, too, was limping. "I was trying to put some extra effort into the run when my ankle was twisted," Rozier said. "I'll probably take a couple of days off.

It's just sore now. I'll be ready for Oklahoma." Rozier gained 103 yards in 19 carries but wasn't the game's top rusher. That honor went to Iowa State's Harold Brown, the forgotten tailback. The junior college transfer showed a crowd of 52,687 that he was no bust by piling up 115 yards in 16 attempts in his final game at home. Little Action Brown had been used sparingly In recent weeks.

A groin injury was one reason, and Cyclone coaches say the halftime on Gill's 49-yard pass to split end Todd Brown with 1:13 left. Rozier's twisting' 5-yard run with 10:23 left in the third quarter sent the score to 28-7, and Roger Craig, the No. 2 tailback from Davenport, rocketed 1 yard for a touchdown after Rozier Was hurt. Craig, who gained only 19 yards all day, scored with :40 to play In the third period, making it 35-7. Tom Vergith went 7 yards for a Husker touchdown with 4:49 left in the final quarter, then Smith wrapped up the scoring with his touchdown.

The final score was marked by an extraordinary extra-point miss by Kevin Seibel, a senior who had been perfect on 68 In a row for a school record. That must prove that the Huskers are human after all. Iowa State defensive tackle Shamus McDonough said, "The big plays killed us. Nebraska is good I think they'll beat Oklahoma (a 13-3 winner over Iowa State earlier) big. "Both Rozier and Craig are definite GilPs 49-yard scoring pass takes wind out of ISU sails tailbacks playing ahead of Brown were better blockers, but evidently those weren't the only factors.

"I was late for a couple of meetings because of personal reasons," Brown said after the game, "but that shouldn't have been enough to cause me to miss three games." Brown said he visited with Duncan at least twice during the season about playing more once following the Iowa game and again after the Kansas State contest. "But I hold no grudges," he said. "I'm not bitter. I probably was penalized for missing the and I was disappointed I didn't play more, but my main disappointment is that we didn't have a better season." Asked why he felt the Cyclones, who will take a 4-5-1 record into their finale next Saturday at Oklahoma State, have struggled, Brown said, "A big reason was that we got gypped on so many calls by the officials." But no one was blaming tne officials Saturday. Nebraska was simply marvelous.

The Huskers had walloped Oklahoma State the previous week by the same score, and have been held under 40 points only twice all year. 'It a good thing we have two weeks before the next game," said Osborne. "We played hard and are beat up. We were down to two healthy backs, at the end of the game. The Injury to Toby Williams (a defensive tackle who hurt a knee) might be the worst.

Cyclones "Good" "Iowa State is a good team. They played hard and it was a hard-hitting game. I don't think the cold weather had anything to do with the injuries -it was just the hitting." Iowa State senior place-kicker Alex Giffords set a Big Eight career record for field goals when he booted his 41st in the fourth quarter. It was a 32-yarder that made the score 35-10. But some of the fans booed when Duncan sent In the kicking team.

Tbey wanted Iowa State to go for six points Instead of three, but no doubt had forgotten that Giffords was near a record. "Had it not been for a record," Duncan said, "I wouldn't have sent Alex in at that stage. Three points didn't mean that much, but I wanted him to set the record at home." Giffords said the record didn't mean much to him "because we lost." He said he dedicated the kick to Erin Tilden, a 12-year-old girl from Ames Vt -St wtm threats. They were productive, and people don't normally run over us.e.. Popped by Arnaud fi On perhaps the hardest hit of the day, Craig lost the ball after being jarred by Iowa State comerback John Arnaud.

Craig lost 9 yards on the play, but Nebraska recovered, 'y "I haven't been In a game at full-speed all year," said Craig. "I didn't see Arnaud coming. I took the pitch and he was right there. 'X "Arnaud and I are good going back to our high school years," ri Nebraska wingback Irving Fryar set up Nebraska's fifth touchdown with a sparkling. 59-yard punt return to the Iowa State 22.

And Fryar was glad when the game ended. "It was cold, the game lasted too long and I'm glad it's over," he Walk-on Cyclone punter Doug Myers got off an 80-yarder the longest in the Big Eight this season tr in the third quarter when the ball took a good roll to the Nebraska 4 Brown, who had wiggled behind John Arnaud. It was a 49-yard scoring strike. More than that, it was a near-fatal blow to Cyclone morale, which hat! been very high up until this moment. "He's tremendous," says Osborne.

"In a way, it's a shame that we have such a good running attacg. Otherwise, Gill would be passlrrj more. And he's really an excellent passer." To say nothing of being al excellent runner, leader, etc. 1 Gill plays the infield in baseball but folks who have put the radar gun on his throws have caught him buzzing i ball at 92 miles per hour, which is making it bum. "So far, because of the way things have worked out, I haven't played baseball at Nebraska," says GUI.

"I'm almost sure I will this spring, although I'm not sure enough to say that for a fact." And why, pray, did he turn dewi that $90,000 bonus? "I wanted four years of having furj in my life before turning to pro sports," says GUI. He doesn't even want to worry right now aboui whether he Ukes baseball better thafl football, or vice versa. And the way the season is golh he's got to be having fun. Boston College rallies, 20-13 NEWTON, MASS.

"I hope it made her feel better," he said. Giffords proudly displayed the game ball he had been awarded. He said it was the first he had received "since my very first game here against Bowling Green as a "If I could cut my. hand," the kicker added, "I'd bleed cardinal and gold. Iowa State comes before Alex Giffords.

If I could, I'd trade every field goal for an Iowa State victory." Nebraska gained 363 yards on the ground and 97 with passes. Seven different players scored touchdowns for the Huskers, starting with Wilkening, who climaxed a six-play, 41-yard drive with a 9-yard run with 5:42 left in the first quarter. 80-Yard March No one could accuse Iowa State of playing without intensity. The Cyclones snapped back to march 80 yards In 13 plays, big ones being runs of 17 and 26 on successive calls. Quarterback Dave Archer went 3 yards around right end for the touchdown with :03 left in the opening period, and Giffords' extra point made it 7-7.

However, Nebraska paid a price for the victory. Mike Rozier, the No. 1 I-back with more moves than a belly dancer on Saturday night, twisted an ankle after bolting for 6 yards to the Iowa State 1 late in the third quarter. Rozier, who came into the game as Nebraska's third-best rusher of all time even though he's just a junior, played no more.

After being helped to the bench, he limped to the locker room with 10:45 left in the game. Alongside him was fullback Doug Wilkening, who wound up with 67 1317 Edit 1 J4 Blocki Open i i9.50xl6.5j. Continued from Page One that can be athletically fatal for a guy who depends on quickness to elude the hard-charging Boskeys and Shamus McDonoughs of the Big Eight. Fact is, he still has numbness in his right foot, particularly in the area of the big toe. Because of that, he is noticeable as being one of the few "skill" players who wears high-topped football shoes.

However Turner captures attention in other ways, too. ROZIER'S RUNNING was the key to the first Husker touchdown, which the Cyclones answered. At this point, Gill stepped front and center at a time when the game was still up for grabs. Early in the second quarter, on a play installed this week because Husker coaches had noted an Iowa State tendency to go with the flow too enthusiastically, GiU waited until all the rest of the world was rushing in one direction, then ran a bootleg 22 yards the other way for a touchdown and the lead that never again vanished. The clincher, though, the play that Duncan, may have woke up thinking about at, say, 4 a.m.

Gill went back to pass and, apparently, all available Cyclones were so busy defending that no one got around to rushing.
