Nebraska had all the injuries. Colorado State felt all the pain. Tommie Frazier, able to play despite an ankle injury, passed for two touchdowns and ran for one Saturday as No. 6 Nebraska pounded Colorado State, 48-13.

The Cornhuskers entered the game with a long list of walking wounded, but the injuries appeared to have little impact. Nebraska, which had a 43-0 halftime lead in a 71-14 victory over the Rams two years ago, had a 28-3 halftime advantage this time. Frazier, a sophomore, ran 1 1 times for 75 yards and was 7-for-13 for 79 yards as Nebraska gained 379 yards. "In our situation, an open date is what we need," Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said. "We've got a number of players who could benefit from the time off.

I'm glad we don't play next Saturday. "We didn't have 400 yards today. I just don't feel like the yards were what I like us to make. I thought Colorado State's strength was their defense. They changed things up on us enough that sometimes we didn't move the ball like we like to." Colorado State Coach Sonny Lubick said, "They've got a good, solid football team and they just keep coming at you and at you." But Osborne saw things a bit differently.

"I don't think we're where we want to be," he said, "but considering the things that have happened, it's not too bad. The big thing now is to get people healed up." Toby Wright put the Huskers on the board before the game was a minute old with a 32-yard interception return off Anthoney Hill. "That killed us," Lubick said. "We were down, 7-0, and there was still 14 minutes left in the first quarter." Freshman running back Lawrence Phillips added a 7-yard scoring run and Frazier ran 16 yards for a touchdown and lofted a 1-yard pass to tight end Gerald Armstrong for another. Frazier connected from 41 yards out with Abdul Muhammad in the third quarter, then left the game to rest the right ankle he sprained in the season opener against North Texas.

Brook Berringer passed 5 yards to Clinton Childs for Nebraska's other score after Kareem Moss intercepted Hill's pass and returned it 42 yards to the Rams' 17-yard line. Jeff Makovicka ran 22 yards for the Huskers' final score. Colorado State managed just field goals of 43 and 42 yards by David Napier against the Nebraska regulars. Leodis Brown ran 8 yards for a touchdown with 3:53 to go. The 75,625 fans on hand were treated to a one-play appearance by running back Calvin Jones, who was in the game for the opening snap doug wellsThe Register the sideline in Rice's 49-21 victory Saturday.

A tough Missouri defense hampered by its inept offense came unraveled when the nation's most proficient passer proved he can run, too. Jake Kelchner's 61 -yard sprint down the right sideline through the third quarter set up a 4-yard touchdown pass seconds later that gave West Virginia a 14-0 lead. Kelchner hit an 83-yard touchdown pass to Jay Kearney on the next series and the romp was on. "We had them pretty well cbr-ralled and then he broke out on that run," said Missouri Coach Bob Stull. "It was a big play in the game." Kelchner said, "It was a pass play.

I looked for the pass, but I saw an opening out of my peripheral vision. I took off, and there was no one there." Kelchner, ranked first in the nation with a 224.3 passing efficiency rating, finished 10-of-13 for 182 yards and three touchdowns without being intercepted. He threw ito Kearney for 125 yards and two scores as the Mountaineers continued their best start since 1989, the last season they appeared in a bowl.

Arizona State 12, Oklahoma State 10 Tempe, Ariz. Defensive tackle Larry Boyd's sack of Oklahoma State's Tone' Jones in the end zone 2 minutes 12 seconds into the fourth quarter proved to be the difference! Jones, a freshman who replaced Gary Porter early in the second quarter, pivoted after taking a snap at his 5-yard line and rolled backward and to his right. Boyd made a beeline for him and made the tackle in the end zone for the safety. Arizona State wrapped up the victory when George Montgomery, playing for the first time since he tore a knee ligament in the fifth game of last season, ran for 14 yards late in the game to help the Sun Devils kill the clock. It was the first loss of the season for Oklahoma State and it denied Coach Pat Jones his 59th career victory.

Jones, who got his first victory in a 45-3 rout of Arizona State in Sim Devil Stadium in 1984, is tied with Jim Lookabaugh as the winningest coach in school history. Okla.

"We came here ready to play and I was very satisfied with their effort," Walden said. "Everyone tried, I know that." The Cyclones utilized the no-1 huddle offense for much of the game in an attempt to keep the Rice de-'Jense on the field. And Walden con--tinued to alternate his quarterbacks, Utter and Todd Doxzon, until Doxzon sprained an ankle after a 42-yard run late in the game.
