Up next, the Liberty BowL Illinois did its best to impress bowl scouts and embarrass Indiana, rolling to a 48-7 Big Ten football triumph Saturday.

The Illini end the regular season with a 7-4 record for the second straight year. Now Illinois must wait a week until bowl invitations can be officially extended to see if there will be one more game to play this season. There's no suspense here Illinois will go to the Liberty Bowl. There were three bowl representatives at the game all from the Liberty Bowl. Nobody else showed up.

"I've said all along this is a bowl team," Illinois Coach Mike White said. "Let's hope someone else thinks the same thing and gives us a chance. I think we deserve it. "I hope they liked what they saw. It was an excellent victory.

A complete game." THE ILLINI made short work of Indiana, scoring three times in just more than three minutes of the first quarter to grab a 21-0 lead. It was 31-0 at halftime and 48-0 in the fourth quarter before the Hoosiers managed to score in a battle of substitutes. Indiana (4-6) ends the season next week at Purdue. This is Lee Corso's 10th year at Indiana. He has had only two winning seasons.

The natives are getting restless. "The fact is, we were just embarrassed by a superior football team in every phase of the game," Corso said. "We embarrassed ourselves and the university. "They just teed off at us and made us look very bad. Like it or not, it's my responsibility.

I'm really crushed. I are and put together some respectable drives, concerned Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne at halftime. "We were a little disappointed that we couldn't stop them in the first half, said Osborne. "Iowa State came right at us. They have a big line and some good backs." ONE OF THE big reasons Iowa State was able to move the ball in the first half was tailback Harold Brown's release from the doghouse.

Brown had dancing gains of 17 and 23 to set up ISU's only touchdown and he finished erty and Holiday bowls liked what they saw, too. The Hawkeyes did it by victimizing Wisconsin quarterback Randy Wright five times and substitute quarterback John Lonchar once with interceptions.

By Mickey O'Donnell Amtistant sports editor IOWA CITY Wisconsin got in the first shot, but Iowa's Hawkeyes won the game, 28-14, on a Big Ten football Saturday that was cold enough to keep Iowa fans from filling Kinnick Stadium to capacity. Troy King startled the Hawkeyes on the first play from scrimmage by running 80 yards for a touchdown. King needed 14 seconds for his run that started off-tackle left, included a juke step in the middle of the field and ended up in the far right side of the end zone. But Iowa struck back with six pass interceptions, a school record, and two touchdowns each by tailback Owen Gill and quarterback Chuck Long.

One of Gill's touchdowns was a 44-yard dash through heavy traffic 10 minutes into the second quarter that put Iowa ahead of the Badgers for good. Gill, a sophomore from Brooklyn, N.Y., lived up to his nickname, Baby Bull, by plowing his way to 157 yards rushing in relief of injured starter Eddie Phillips. IOWA CONTINUED its mastery of Wisonsin with its sixth straight victory over the Badgers, made more sweet because it ensured Iowa a winning record for the second year in a row. Scouts from the Tangerine, Lib By Craig Cooper of the Time AMES No matter what the polls say, it would take a great salesman to talk the Iowa State football team into believing it did not play the best college football team in the galaxy Saturday in Iowa State's stadium. The Cyclones experienced firsthand the potency of No.

3-ranked Nebraska in a 48-10 hammering before a shivering sellout crowd of 52,877. All the Huskers needed was a de- Movin on (rDinilt X'" 71 iiiskers convincec Touchdown Iowa! Brown for a 49-touchdown play. GILL COULD have had eaten a sandwich waiting for Brown to get open; Brown had the ISU defender whipped when the ball came. Instead of being down 14-7 or tied at halftime, the third Husker touchdown with 1:13 left in the half effectively knocked the Cyclones out. Nebraska, 9-1, completely dominated the second half, piling up four more touchdowns.

"Nebraska was just like we expected," said Iowa State Coach Donnie 1 icer to ignite their usual offensive day. They exploded for 460 yards, including 103 from I-back Mike Rozier to completely dominate the Cyclones. The Huskers were set off by an Iowa State drive in the second quarter with the score 14-7. For an all-too-brief moment, the Cyclones believed they could stay in the game with this Goliath, moving to the usker 33. But the drive stalled after a third down loss of 10 yards.

Seven plays later quarterback Turner Gill linked up with streaking split end Todd Fembleg doom Rocky Duncan. "They were explosive and they hurt you in so many ways. "Based on today, Nebraska has a better offense than Oklahoma while Oklahoma has the better defense. Nebraska is still No. 1 in the country." Duncan has been voting the Huskers No.

1 for the last five weeks on the United Press International poll. Nebraska's offense is impressive, but not so impressive that the defense can be forgotten. The Huskers allowed Iowa State 194 yards in the first half but only 273 for the game. The ability of Iowa State to score, lick, fumbling the ball. "It was just one of those things." At the time midway through the fourth quarter, Rock Island trailed 13-6, but had marched to Uie Glenbard North44.

The deadly play came on second down. Allison, who took over at quarterback from starter Dion Brooks to begin the second half and directed Rocky's only scoring drive, faded back for a pass. His receiver was covered, and Allison coughed up the football as he tried to duck away from an impending sack by defensive tackle Mike Lotz. Cherry, a 180-pound defensive end, was there to scoop the ball up and looked like a halfback tearing down the left sidelines. Nobody from Rock could catch him.

"MAN, THAT was fun," Cherry said as he trooped inside after doing some celebrating outside after the game. "I didn't dare look back after I picked the ball up because I was afraid somebody was going to catch me." Glenbard North Coach Dale By Dearrel Bates of the Times CAROL STREAM, 111. The stage was set for an apparent slam-bang finish Saturday afternoon. Then Glenbard North's Steve Cherry plucked off a Rock Island fumble and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown. That slammed the door in the face of the Rocks and banged the Quad-City team out of the Illinois Class 6A playoffs.

The final 27-6 Glenbard North margin doesn't indicate the closeness of this quarterfinal round game played in the westside suburbs of Chicago on a downright chilly day. "YOU CAN'T turn the ball over that many times and win a game this big," Rock Island Coach Wayne De-Sutter said, trying to unthaw and scrape mud off his shoes at the same time inside his team's dressing quarters. "Dang, we were moving the ball, then come the fumble. Before that happened, we still had a chance. On the play, our blocking up front broke down and Jamie (Allison) took a hard Evans, with the only unbeaten team (11-0) left among the four remaining 6A teams, said the obvious.

"No need to tell you guys that the fumble return was the game's big play," he said. "It seems like our defense, has been coming up with big plays like that one all season." The Panthers, rated sixth in the final 6A poll will have to come up with some more big plays next Saturday when they play their semifinal round game. They tackle No. 1-ranked Bur-bank Reavis, a 25-13 winner Saturday over East St. Louis Senior.

After the fumble return, Glenbard North tacked on another touchdown with just over a minute to go. Rock Island was whistled for three penalties as the game began to get a bit rough to set up Tony Lisbon's six-yard run. Even then, Rocky nearly scored at the finish. A 67-yard kickoff return by Marcus Ballard put the ball at the Glenbard four, but three plays later as time expired, Allison couldn't quite ROCKS Please turn to Page 8B Jack Fields' touchdown run began another victory celebration In Geneseo.
