Most football followers, when they pick up the Sunday paper this morning and read thai Nebraska trounced Kansas, 56-0, will figure it was just another breeze for the Comhuskers. The final count sounds much like the 77-7, 49-0, and 62-0 victories for the Big Red over Army, Minnesota and Missouri the last three weeks. But an inspired Kansas Niniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinr Mason Gets Game Photo sSrrT Jk Dave Goeller (28) finds 1 I 3 iar. jtpj, i i I rr I i A Tinih ii im Mark Gordon Sez: 1 Somelliing For Everyone Page 3 glad to get out with a one-point win." Kansas, a prohibitive pre-game underdog, had golden opportunities to take the lead during the first quarter.

Linebacker Steve Towle intercepted a David Humm pass at the Nebraska 35 and later the Jayhawks' Eddie Sheats blocked a Rich Sanger punt which 1 recovered at the Nebraska six. "That's when we really had to show them that our defense was tough," gang-leading middle guard Rich Glover said. "We did the job and held them off until the offense could get going." Devaney was high in his praise of the defense. "They kept us in the game early. That goal line stand after the blocked punt was superb.

If Kansas scores and goes ahead at the outset, with all the enthusiasm they had, it could have been an entirely different game." The play that started the scoring spree was a 30-yard toss from Humm to split end Frosty Anderson. "We'd been throwing a little down and out pattern," Humm recalled, "but they were playing the receiver awfully tight. They'd picked off two and nearly intercepted a couple of others." The coaches corrected the situation by sending ioi Anderson with a different strategy. "We had to get that defensive man to move back," Devaney said, "so we told Frosty to fake the down an I out and then fly for the end zone." Anderson left Kansas cor-nerback Mike Burton when he came up on the fake and took the toss in stride for the first of the eight touchdowns. That pass was the beginning of two Nebraska passing records.

After Humm threw three more scoring aerials to Johnny Rodgers, Dave Goeller and Bob Revelle and Steve Runty added a fifth to Anderson, statisticians started their search. Humm became the first Husker ever to get four TD's through the air. And the total passing yardage 360 became a new one-game mark. "That's a helluva lot of yards through the Devaney admitted, "but Kansas was determined to stop our running game. They did a good job of that, but with eight men on the defensive line, somebody is bound to be open for the pass." Rodgers, who wanted to talk football rather than about his recently announced engagement, said he figured he could beat the KU defenders deep anytime.

"On the long touchdown I came in from the bench and told Humm," Rodgers remembered, "and he threw it perfectly." Johnny admits he'd like to see more action. "But these games (easy wins) are great for team morale. I certainly don't mind sacrificing a little as an individual for the good of the team." Rodgers added to his career scoring and pass receiving records, however, with two touchdowns. He got a TD on Cont. on Page 5E, Col.

Upset One of the keys to the Colorado upset was passing, Colorado's success with it and Oklahoma's lack of it. Colorado's Ken Johnson completed 10 of 19 passes for 151 yards and on many of his Incomp Ictinns, the Buff receivers were open in the Sooner's secondary. "We figured we could pass against them," Colorado Coach Eddie Crowder reveled, "But the main thing we figured we had to do was come up with a balanced attack. "None of the teams Oklahoma had played had a balanced attack. They, were either a passing team or a running team, but not both." In addition to the 151 passing yards, the Buffs also came up with 172 on the ground.

And the two touchdowns the Buffs scored with that balanced attack were the first two Oklahoma had given up this season, having permitted only two field goals In posting 4-0 record against Utah State, Oregon, Celmson awl Texas. But just as Important as the ballanced CU offense was the Buffs' defense which held the Sooneri to only 163 yards rushing, nearly 400 yards below Oil's nation's leading average.

"This was a tremendous victory for us, our biggest since I've been a coach at Missouri," he said in the dressing room following the aime. Missouri, a team thalt lost a week earlier 62-0 to Nebraska, was fired up from the start.

Colorado took some of the glitter off the anticipated Thanksgiving Day showdown in Lincoln between Nebraska and Oklahoma but set up another showdown here in two weeks with its 20-14 upset of No.

2 ranked Oklahoma Saturday afternoon. That new showdown date In the Big Eight will come up on Nov. 4 when Nebraska Invades the Folsom Field and as one fan said aa the clock ticked off the final seconds Saturday, "Those Nebraska-Colorado tickets will be worth a fortune now." But there was no talk of the Nebraska game In the Colorado dressing room. "The only thing any of us talked abut in the showers was Missouri," defensive star Bud Magrum pointed out. "After their beating Notre Dame, we've got to concentrate on them before we can think about Nebraska." Colorado goes to Missouri nert w'ek.

Sets Up defense," explained Buffs' defensive back John Stearns. "It goes to show you what a team can do when it is so high emotionally." The Colorado defense allowed Oklahoma only six of 21 pass completions for 75 yards and had three interceptions. And the Buffs' emotions weren't dimmed a bit by a pilllllllllll Top couple of early failures as Oklahoma took a 7-0 first half lead before 52.022 fans, the largest crowd ever to see a sports everrt in Colorado. Colorado place-kickcr Fred Lima, who holds the Big Eight record with a 57-yard field goal, missed on tries of 56 and 47 yards In the first half, but his two 33-yarders in the 20 Results 1111111111111''; second half proved to be the difference. Oklahoma took advantage of a fumbled quick kick to keep a drive alive late in the first half to go ahead 7-0 with 6:09 left before intermission.

With Oklahoma facing a third and 20 from its own 30. Joe Wylie dropped back for the quick kick which Stearns returned nine yards before fumbling and OU recovered at the Colorado 35. It took Oakhoma six plays to get into the endzone with quarterback Dave Robertson rushing the final 17 yards on a third and five option play. Each team managed to drive Into the others' territory only once in the first half, but in the second half the Buffs went more to the air and found success. The momentum started to swing shortly after intermission when sophomore Gary Campbell, for Charlie Davis, who had hurt his shoulder slightly on the previous play when he ran into an ABC TV truck, went down the sidelines for 43 yards Into the endzone on the second play after OU was forced to punt.

But when Lima missed the extra point kick, Oklahoma still led by 7-6. That lead was wiped out moments later, however. Oklahoma was forced to punt from its own 21 and a high snap from center sent Wylie back into the endzone with a couple of Buffs about to tackle him for a safety. Wylie slipped a pass up-field intended for no one in particular, but Colorado's Cullen Bryant found himself with the football, giving it to the Buffs at the OU 18. Six plays later, Colorado had the lead with Johnson passing the final six yards to John Kcyworth on a third and goal situation.

Fullback Bo Matthews bulled over for the two-point conversion and it was 14-7 with 4:05 left in the third quarter. Lima's two field goals gave the Buffs a 20-7 lead as the Sooner offense was unable to eet untracked until the final four minutes when the Buffs, in a prevent defense, gave up the final score with only 1:13 left, then ran out the clock.
