Freshman quarterback Stev Taylor wrapped up the scoring in tb last quarter with a four-yard run thai followed a fumble by Kirk Thomas. 1 Several penalties handicapped tin: Cyclones, none more than a damaging call for holding on tbeir first sion. Instead of having a first down at Nebraska's 35 after a 14-yard run by Thomas, Iowa State was shoved back to a third-and-16 situation at its 38 ani soon had to punt. "That was stupid on our part just ridiculous," declared Criner.

"Tho amount of time we spend and then for that kind of crap to continue happcRr His voice tailed off without continuing the sentence, and then he said: "I'm really down. I'm not down -cause we got beat by Nebraska, but because of the way our players played We're working our fannies off, and then to have these things ii enough to drive you crazy." Nebraska, 8-1 for the year and tied at 5-0 with Oklahoma atop the Big Eight standings, has a home game tafi against Kansas on Saturday before the annual late-season showdown against the Sooners in Norman. Meanwhile, Iowa State will try to snap its losing streak Saturday at Kansas State (1-8). "Our players ought to look on the Kansas State game like it's the Super Bowl," said Criner. It may be difficult for the Cyclones, to recover from all their recent (Us-couragment, but Espinoza said: don't think we'll fold.

Hopefully, we'll win the next two games and go outj with a good taste in out mouths." i Wodka (stocking cap and glasses), brother of quarterback Alex Espinoza, father of end Jeff Wodka, and Johnny are among the glum Iowa State fans as Espinoza, (coat covering mouth), Nebraska whips Cyclones 49-0. 1 lis Continued rom Papc One tration of what was going on before the chilled crowd of 75,920 Nebraska's 142nd consecutive sellout, which is a national record. However, there was at least a partial explanation for Refiner's busy afternoon, said Criner, because he was stationed near the line of scrimmage much of the time trying to fend off Nebraska's devastating option plays. I-back Doug Dufiose, one of the nation's leading rushers, led the Huskers with 114 yards in 26 carries, scoring one of the seven touchdowns. But for pure efficiency, he wasn't even close to fullback Tom Rathman, who rolled up 97 yards in just 10 tries.

"I think we probably played as well overall as we have this season," said Osborne. "I really can't find a problem anywhere. Our defense is getting better every week, and that's encouraging." Short scoring runs by quarterback McCathorn Clayton and DuBose opened a 14-0 lead for the Huskers, and it probably would have remained that way at half time if one of Espinoz-a's passes hadn't been picked off late in the second quarter. It set up a 12-yard touchdown pass from Clayton to Tom Banderas. The game became a runaway in the third quarter, with many fans also running for the exits to find a warm spot somewhere.

Nebraska scored three touchdowns in that period, once going 99 yards in just three running plays. The Cyclones, losing their fourth straight in what is now a 3-6 season, started to come apart at the seams when Nebraska thundered 66 yards in trton; "til 0as Ill IOWA STAT! Ytfl NEBRASKA Na.
