The Lincoln Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 32

2D Oct. 14, 1979 Lincoln, Sunday Journal and Star Cornhusker Quotes By Wayne Gonyea Spilt end Tim Smith Sun, crowd smile on Johnson TD sprint I-State defeats K-State just been shot out of a cannon. Johnson, are blessed with :04.4 much fun, though, because son the perfect candidate for IwSt Knit 19 3S- 77 89 17 I 7-JM 7-16-3 e-Je -3 5-2 7-3 6-38 e-65 speed in their cleats. Johnson's is somewhere between :M.6 and :04.65. "But put a ball under bis arm and you can't tell the difference," Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne observed.

"He'll run with anyone." "There's nothing I can do now about my speed," Johnson said. "But there is something I can do when I get the ball run as hard as I possibly can." Such an attitude made John- there weren't 76,000 fans electrified by the sight. "I heard the crowd about the 50 when I saw the Big Eight marker at midfield," Johnson said. "Boy, were they loud! I knew someone had to be chasing me. I thought about turning around and looking, but instinct told me not to.

It just would have slowed me down. I need all the speed I can get." Jarvis Redwine and Isaiah Hipp, the two I-backs ahead of Virgil Parker By Randy York Staff Sports Writer The sun shines down so hard on Craig Johnson against Kansas, it's hard to imagine any more joy coming into his heart. But it almost did Saturday. Johnson's record 94-yard third-quarter touchdown sprint in the lluskers' 42-0 conquest of KU was almost a record 99-yarder on the play before. "If I could have gotten my head across my block on the same play from the one-yard Une, I really think Craig would gone all the way on that one, too," ofiered Nebraska tight end Steve Davies.

"Darn it," Davies said. "My guy made the tackle. The second time, I got my man." So did everyone else and Johnson shot out of the blocks on an Isolation play like he'd Okla. St. from 38 yards 1 :33 later following a fumbled pitch from Doerner.

Doerner came off the bench In the second quarter when starter Harold Bailey was injured, and brought the Cowboy offense lo life in the third period with scoring drives of 80 and 84 yards. With 8:34 left in the third period, Doerner hit Ron Ingram with a 15-yard scoring strike that was deflected into receiver's arms by tight end Don Echols. The Cowboys used 17 plays in their next scoring drive, capped by Doerner's 10-yard pass lo Mel Campbell, who beat Bill Whitaker in the corner of the end zone. Colin An- kerson's extra point gave the Cowboys, now 3-2, a 14-13 lead that they never lost. Missouri is -also 3 2.

Missouri quarterback Phil Bradley, who hit 21 of 27 passes fdr. 209 yards, brought the Tigers deep into Cowboy territory three times after Okla- noma State took the lead. But Brockhaus, with 7:56 left in the game, missed a 37-yard attempt, then misfired on a 38- yard try with 2: 10 remaining. Missouri's last chance to -avert the upset vanished when the Tiger kicker, with 16 sec 2 "Kansas Is a good team. We had trouble from the 20 yard line on In during the first half.

But we started blocking a little better down close later on. Oklahoma State will be tough next week. They always play us as tough as anyone. We will have no problem thinking past that game." On his catch of a M-yard pass from Qulnn which was ruled out of bounds at the KU 7-yard line: "I don't know, I'll have to see the film to see where my foot landed. I thought if you get knocked out by the defender and he's in bounds It still counts." On his 30-yard reception to the KU one-yard line on the very next play: "We came right back on the left side with our wide formation.

The wingback and I both spilt out, and whichever one the safety doesn't take we throw to." On the Hager-to-Hipp-to-Hoger-to-Smlth pats play for yards In the second quarter: "I was the second read on that plav. It starts out like a 4' -pitch, but It's a designed pass play all the wav. We create a diversion with the play action. If the cornerback drops off with the wingback it goes to me. If he covers me, the pass goes to Kenny Brown." Quarterback Tim Hager "I don't know what the problem was at first.

The first pass I threw the ball lust sailed out of my hand. After you have a pass or two like that you lust sort of get mad at yourself and start doing better, we should have had more touchdowns than field goals out there early. We lust had to get the cobwebs out. Sometimes you go out there and try to think more than lust react. After you make a few dumb mistakes you get mad and start to do better." On being pressured several times by Kansas' Pass rush: "They were coming In hard and I lust wanted to make sure I got the boll off and not get sacked and get negative yardage.

They were firing the ends from the outside and giving us pressure there." Quarterback Jeff Qulnn On Craig Johnson's M-yard touchdown run: "It was a 44-isoiatlon and he lust cut back. Where he was supposed to go was blocked out so he cut back to the left and had a really good run. Seems like he always comes up with those against Kansas. "It's really a good situation having three l-backs as good as Hipp, Redwine and Johnson. It's amazing.

It's like we have a factory out here. I know how much that 94-yard run must have taken out of Craig Johnson. It was tough logging down behind him. "Most positions on this team go three-deep with very little dropoff. I bet Kansas wonders where we get all these guys.

Even Randy Landwehr, our fifth-team l-back, ran pretty hard. Our backs are hitting the holes very quickly and our quarterbacks are hitting the receivers. Whoever defenses us has no Idea what we're going to do. Even if they're in the right defense, we can audible out of It. We have the confidence.

We lust have to keep It." On NU's quarterback situation: "It's good to have two or three quarterbacks. As long as Tim is doing so good, he's going to be the No. I man out there and I lust have to be ready all the time. I'm lust a junior and still learning. Having two quarterbacks Is good thing and I expect It to carry us through the Big Eight." Wingback Kenny Brown On his 12-yard TD reception with 9:03 remaining In the third quarter: "On this plav the l-back goes in motion to the left.

The safety went out down the line to get Redwine in motion. That left the monster In the corner to play man-to-man against me. He came out kind of late, I think." On his key block on Jarvis Redwine's 54-yard touchdown run with 11 :07 left in the half: "It was a 41-counter sweep play. My lob Is to get over and get position on the corner on my side so if the runner cuts he can cut back on my block. When Redwine cut back he set the man up even better for me to block, and he lust cut right off of it." Monster Mark LeRoy On his Interception of a Kevin Clinton pass at the Kansas 29 in the third quarter, which set up a 24-vard touchdown pass from Hager to tight end Junior Miller: "The quarterback really didn't look off the receiver, so I knew it was coming.

When he doesn't look off the receiver you can give the receiver some room and break on the boll. Then you can stay right with him. It's always nice to know when you have a turnover that the offense carrys on to make a score. That's our obiective, to create turnovers." On the second straight shutout turned in by the Black Shirts: "I think it's great. It Is a goal for us to do it, but it's not overly expressed, because if it doesn't happen, we dont wont a big letdown by the defense.

When a team scores, you can't be thinking about losing a shutout. You have to come back. Still, It's nice to have one." Center Kelly Saalfeld On the slow start of the Nebraska offense: "It seems like In our games in every first quarter we are a little bit slower starting than the other team. But we came back, and I feel a lot of that is due to coaches Tenopir, Darlington and Melton upstairs. They analyze the defensive and offensive tendencies.

They help on play selection very much." On his first half performance in the offensive line: "In the first half I banged up my left shoulder. It happens. I might go ten games before I hurt It again. I wasn't as effective in the first half as I could have been, but In the second half I felt my performance was much better." On playing Oklahomo State next week: "We know they have a good team. They are very physical.

No way can we overlook them after their upset over Missouri today. We definitely have to be prepared for OSU." I-back Craig Johnson His thoughts when he realized he could go all the way on his 94-yard touchdown run: "All I could think of when I reached the 50-yard line was to get going. I had already hit my highest speed, I think, but you don't feel like you're going fast enough. I couldn't see anyone behind me, but I know the kind of team Kansas is. I knew someone was chasing me, because Kansas doesn't give up." was he recalling the great game he had against Kansas last year? "A lot of people have brought it up this past week.

Of course, I'll never forget last year's game. I thought of this being Kansas, but yet, It's lust another game." On next week's game against Oklahoma State: "We know they are going to be tough. We'll lust have to buckle our helmets up and be prepared for some hard hitting." the record run. There were no signs of running out of gas no thoughts about stopping to refuel. "One guy (Miller) dived and caught my heels about the 20," Johnson said.

"I wondered if there were more, but I wasnt about to find out. I didn't have any breath left when I got in the end zone, but I could hear that South Stadium cheering and I could see them jumping up and down. They were amazed and I think I was in shock. "All I could think of was 'Why me? Why not Jarvis or why not Redwine, who rushed for a game-leading 157 yards on 24 carries, thought the opposite. The man who authored a 54-yard touchdown run himself thought: "Why not Craig Johnson?" "Craig Johnson," Redwine said, "is a damn good back.

If he were anyplace else, he'd be playing a lot. This may sound strange, but if he'd ever think about leaving, I'd be the most disappointed guy on this team. "I really like Craig's role and I'm always pulling for him because I know he can do the job and I know he's going to be needed sometime in a tight situation. He can break one anytime. "Just think.

He went 94 yards on a 44 iso 94 yards on an ISO-LA-TION play right up the gut. You'd think he'd get caught." But not by Kansas, a team Johnson burned for 270 yards in Lawrence last year. "I supposed everyone knows I like to play Kansas," Johnson said, "Good things seem to happen." A good thing happened to Redwine, too, with 11 minutes left in the second quarter and Nebraska leading only SMI. Nebraska's longest run of the year had been only 30 yards until Redwine took a pitchout around right end and cut back for his 54-yard scoring gallop. "Tim Wurth's block on the cornerback really set it Up," Jarvis said.

"Tim Smith had a super block and Junior Miller got one, too. Then Kenny Brown put on the finishing touches. "And what can you say about our offensive line and the complex scheme they have to learn? Hearing the stats makes you wonder how you got all those yards. Then you know. You got them because you had great blocking." Davies' frustration at missing his block is a classic example of Nebraska's pursuit for perfection.

If Davies had carried it out, Johnson might have tied the Memorial Stadium record of 99 yards set by Kansas' Gale Sayers in 1963. Who knows? Johnson may get that record yet if he can find another year of eligibility when KU returns to Lincoln in 1981. POWER FALCON SNOW 78 F78-14, G78-14, G78-15, H78-14, H78-15, L78-15 L78-15 size whitewtils only Should games trade names? Now that the game of soccer is fast gaining popularity in the United States, the question continues to arise as to why soccer and football don't trade names. As we all know, the game called soccer in the United States and, occasionally. Great Britain is called football everywhere else in the world.

It would be hard to deny that the American version of football is misnamed. There is a lot more "foot" in soccer than in football. According to the October issue of Travel and Leisure magazine, the naming of the two games happened this way. One afternoon in 1823, a game of football was being played at the Rugby School in England. (No, it wasn't a school for rugby players.

That was the name of the school.) The ball they used, propelled mostly by kicking, could not be carried. But, at one point in the game, a student named William Kllis, in a fit of exuberance, picked up the ball and ran with it. Ellis broke a rule, but his innovation caught everyone's fancy and led to the invention of rugby, named of course after young Ellis' school. Eventually, so there would be a clearer distinction between rugby football and plain football the latter came to be called As-socation football, after the London Football Assocation. But that was too big a mouthful.

So, it was abbreviated to Assoc. football, then to Soc. (Society) football and then to soccer. Terminology comes from rugby American football takes most of its form from rugby, in which tackling, blocking, and carrying the ball are essentiaL But, when Rutgers and Princeton, in 1869, played what American football historians consider "our" game's birth rite, the ball could not be carrried. How did the line of "scrimmage" get its name? Just like much of the rest of the game as we know it today, the term came from rugby.

In rugby, a play begins with each team crammed together around the grounded ball. At a signal, everyone battles for possession in what is called a "scrum" or "scrummage." This play-starting formation was changed in American football, and the pronunciation of scrummage was somehow corrupted to scrimmage. In any case, scrummagescrimmage derives from skirmish, English for a confused struggle. Have you ever realized how many football terms resemble military language? This is probably due to the violent nature of the game. A "blitz" for instance, shortened from the German word Blitzkrieg which means lightning war is a big rush of defenders intent on leveling a quarterback before he can throw (or drop) a "bomb" a long forward pass.

If the blitzers get their man they have "sacked" him, or left him in ruins, as victorious armies often rendered a defeated city. The worst spot on the field "Coffin corner" also has a deadly connotation. That comes when the most effective punt of all comes to rest or is whistled dead near the point where the goal line meets the sideline. Before the rules were changed, the coffin corner was even a more deadly spot on the field than it is today. Now, if the ball comes to rest near the sideline, it is moved in to the hash mark (another military term).

Before that change, the ball was placed precisely where the previous play ended. Thus, if a team took over the ball in the coffin corner it had an extremely small space in which lo line up and begin its offense. It was truly boxed in. Know why a football play is called a down? According to Walter Camp, in his book "American Football" written in 1894: "Whenever a player running with the ball is held (his forward progress stopped), he must cry 'down' and a man of his side then places the ball on the ground and snaps it back to a teammate to again put the ball in play." My reference books don't identify who suggested that if a team makes the necessary yardage (10 yards) it gets a first down lo retain possession for four more tries. Most Big Red fans don't care as long as the Huskers do it often enough to score lots of touchdowns and win every Saturday.

That's how it stood for the Nebraska football team after Saturday's 42-0 pasting of Kansas. Nebraska defensive back Paul Letcher suffered a strained right knee, and I-back Isaiah Hipp reinjured the tOe which kept him sidelined last week against New Mexico State.

Other than that, there was just the "usual assortment of bumps and bruises," said NU head trainer and physical therapist George Sullivan. Hipp may be able to practice again by Monday or Tuesday, he said.

"All I saw after that was their left corner (Delvin Miller)," Johnson said, resurrecting the run.

"I broke back to the middle to stay away from him, then tried to keep going with everything I had in me." The 94-yard achievement broke a Nebraska record which had survived a quarter century of challenges. Johnny Edwards' 84-yard touchdown run against Oregon State in 1954 was the old mark. Johnson's explosion, however, was not a record against Kansas. Kansas State's Gerald Hackney bolted 96 yards against the Jayhawks 31 years ago. It couldn't have been as From page ID onds left, was short on his long try.

"We don't have a bunch of great players," Cowboy Coach Jimmy Johnson said Saturday following Oklahoma State's eome-from-behind 14-13 victory over the Tigers. "We have a bunch of players. We came out the second half with our heads high." Missouri Coach Warren Powers, his team almost certain to slip from the Top 20 with its second straight loss, insisted he still had faith in the Tigers. "It doesn't take much to look at our team and say it hasn't jelled as we had hoped," he said. "We already have two losses now.

But I still think we've got an excellent football team. We just have to put things together."

Oklahoma Coach Barry Switzer, asked if it was the best defense he had seen, said, "Yeah, since Texas in 1977." Switzer added, "That is one great defensive unit. That was the factor in the game.

Our offense just couldn't move." He said Texas' offense was a surprise. "It was a lot better than I had seen on film," he said. Texas Coach Kred Akers said, "Billy Sims is a great back, but we were able to swarm him. We felt like we missed some opportunities, but we wouldn't change a thing."
