Corgan chimed in, "Yeah, and we still almost missed him. Our doctors turned him down on his physical because of a bad knee." That didn't stop Eddie, either. He marched into the football office and declared: "Look, I didn't come to Nebraska for a knee operation I came to play football." That ended Nebraska's opposition to the little fellow with a bad knee. "We figured he deserved a chance with an attitude like that And, boy, are we glad," Devaney said.

"We didn't give him a scholarship but let him try to prove himself he really proved himself and won a scholarship."

Well, they did add their stamp of approval on the behemoths, but they really warmed up to the subject when someone mentioned middle guard Eddie Periard. Let's face it at 5-9, 201 Periard is too small to play middle guard for the No.

The status quo was shaken last week in the Big Eight Conference's team statistical races as the first major jumbilng of the season' took place with four of the eight leads changing hands. Nebraska forced half the changu with its offensive barrage against Oklahoma State, which netted 65 points and 545 yards.

The Huskers, now holding five of the top spots, shot way out front in scoring offense, now sporting a 35.3 game average. The 270 yards they gained on the ground, coupled with Missouri's quick start and subsequent limiting of last week's leader, Colorado, to just 35 rushing lengths, put Nebraska on top here with a 236.4 average. That is the closest of all the chases Colorado is next with 233.2, while Kansas shows 232.6. The Huskers, though, did lose one of their past leads, the total defense lead. Kansas State, the chief Nebraska challenger in this department the past two seasons, has taken over, boasting a 271.2 average allowance, 13 yards better than what Nebraska has to date.

Also on the defensive side, Iowa State slipped atop in passing defense. The Cyclones, who rank a solid third in total defense, show an average allowance of 100.7 through the air. Kansas State is second (107.3). During the week, Nebraska The NCAA said he was paid more for his. work than the "going rate in that locality for West, LNE, Dave Bollby, LSE; 5.

Grimsley Sees Upset The Associated Press' college football forecaster Will Grimsley is forecasting a Nebraska upset by Colorado this weekend. "Fourth-ranked, unbeaten Nebraska Is the only member of college football's Top Ten which should look out for the Hallowaen goblins this weekend," Grimsley writes. "Colorado, smarting under three defeats and fired up at home, should pull the day's major upset. The other leaders should prevail." Picking the score, Colorado 27, Nebraska 20, Grimsley adds, "Nebraska has the seventh best scoring team in the country but upsets are common in this league." Herschell Nissenson, the other AP forecaster, however, sees better things for the Huskers, predicting a Nebraska victory, adding, "Cornhuskers are roaring toward the Big Eight title."
