4 November 7. 1971 Lincoln, Sunday Journal and Star 1 Majors, Quarterback Say Huskers Best we can reach our minimum goals for the season," he declared. "If we wind up 8-3, losing only to Nebraska, Oklahoma and Colorado, we will have had a fine season and should be in line for one of the lesser bowl Injuries are his big concern now, however, "We lost four regulars in the Oklahoma game last week and had several more hurt against Nebraska. But we still have a fine team." The Cyclone coach felt his defense performed well, particularly in the first half. "If you take away Rodgers' punt return and the pass interception which set up the other touchdown, we didn't do a bad job.

I thought we had a good defensive plan. We just didn't have the people to stack up against them to carry it out." wide on them, and the secondary plays pass defense as good as anyone, anywhere." Then Majors looked at the writers who regularly cover the Cornhuskers and added, "This probably sounds like a broken record to you guys. You can just use the script from the other opponents. Nebraska scored about the same number of points and did it in about the same way." Though he was disappointed in Iowa State's inability to move the ball better, Majors acknowledged that "Nebraska's defense had a heck of a lot to do with that. They are truly an outstanding, complete team." But Majors wasn't downhearted about his Cyclones.

"If we can win our last three in impressive fashion By VIRGIL PARKER Iowa State football coach Johnny Majors wouldn't come right out and predict a Nebraska-Oklahoma Thanksgiving Day winner after the Cornhuskers took the wind out of his Cyclones Saturday, but quarterback Dean Carlson was less reserved. "I don't make predictions very often," the signal caller Insisted, "but I'll pick Nebraska by two touchdowns." Carlson called the Nebraska defense "fantastic. They flow with the play so well you can't go outside on them. And they are too strong to run up the middle against. The only defense close to them in the country must be the Minnesota Vikings," he added with a chuckle.

Majors came close to picking Nebraska over the Sooners when he said, "Nebraska is the most complete team I've seen since I've been in the league. They certainly deserve their No. 1 rating." The remarks come just one week after his Iowa State team had faced Oklahoma. Though Majors talked mostly about the Nebraska defense, he had praise for the offense as well. "The quarterbacking is great, the fullbacks played exceptional ball, and that (Johnny) Rodgers is something else.

He's a heckuva weapon." The Iowa State grid boss said Nebraska's defense is without a weakness. "That (Larry) Jacobson is as good a tackle as there is in the country. And (Rich) Glover too. They just engulf you. "The ends and linebackers are so mobile you can't run Jt ktf -in i' Vf" t.
