A crowd of 78,655 fans, including defense secretary Melvin Laird, watched under clear and cool skies as the fourth-ranked Volunteers ran up a 24-point lead before Air Force could get on the scoreboard.

Scott, a 195-pound senior from Rossville, had Air Force defenders off balance throughout the first period. The Volunteers sailed to a touchdown on their opening series, with Scott's doing most of the damage, and scored on their next two possessions. Scott completed 24 of 46 passes for 306 yards with his receivers constantly eluding the bewildered Falcon defenders.

1 ranked team going into the Pjew Year's Day bowl games, then took their pre-game warmups here Friday evening while Stanford was upsetting second-rated Ohio State to open the door for third-ranked Nebraska to slip into the throne room. And Husker head coach Bob Devaney, who has been voting his Huskers No. 1 all season in the United Press International coaches poll, was convinced his team, having completed an unbeaten season at 11-0-1, was deserving of that honor in everyone's mind. And he even figures a fellow who carries that title of the? Pope should vote for the Huskers. When it was mentioned to him that Notre Dame, loser only to Southern Cal.

All week, LSU had been claiming their primary goal would be to stop the NU rushing game, but the Huskers came out throwing on the first play of the game with Tagge hitting Jerry List with a 16-yarder. The Huskers had thrown infrequently to the sophomore tight end during the calling on him mainly in tough third down situations, but Friday night, he caught four for 63 yards. "Our game plan was to throw on first down," Devaney explained as writers jammed around him In the jubilant Husker dressing room. The Husker boss also credited his defensive with some clutch plays. "We gave LSU plenty of chances," he said.

"We didn't sell them short on opportunities." The Husker defense helped to provide the Big Eight representative with a 10-3 halftime margin, keeping LSU bottled up in its own territory until the closing minutes of the half and forcing a fumble to set up the NU touchdown. On LSU's first play from scrimmage after the Huskers had taken a 3-0 lead via Paul Rogers' 26-yard field goal with 2:40 left in the first quarter, Husker tackle Larry Jacobson, putting pressure on Tiger signal caller Buddy Lee, forced a fumble and sophomore end Willie Harper pounced on it at the Tiger 15.

Someone mentioned that the Notre Dame loss to Southern Cal came at Southern Cal, the Husker coach pointed out that Nebraska's tie with the Trojans also came in Los Angeles. But while the Notre Dame and Stanford wins opened the door for the Huskers, they had it slammed shut in cushion.

And the Huskers had to come up with three big plays on third and long yardage to keep the drive alive.

The first crisis of the drive came early after an offsides penalty left the Huskers with a third and nine from their own 34. Quarterback Jerry Tagge solved that one with a 14-yard keeper. Then with a third and two at the LSU 44, Tagge called on Joe Orduna and the senior I-back responded with a seven-yard burst to the Tiger 37.

Sunday Husker lead with 2:06 still left in the opening stanza. Orduna picked up 12 on his first burst through the middle of the Husker line, then followed Dan Schneiss behind the line blocking of center Doug Dumler, guard Dick Rupert and tackle Bob Newton for the final three yards on the next play. Rogers' field goal also came on a drive that was set up by a fumble recovery, this one by tackle Dave Waliine at the Nebraska 44. The Huskers had to overcome two damaging illegal motion penalties to keep the drive alive. A six-yard pass play from quarterback Jerry Tagge to Jeff Kinney that moved the ball to the LSU 37 was wiped out by a penalty and again with a first and 10 at the LSU 33 moments later, Tagge hit Guy Ingles with a 26-yarder, but it also was wiped out by an illegal motion penalty as the Huskers showed signs of being affected by their nearly six-week layoff since their season finale with Oklahoma.

A 17-yard pass from Tagge to tight end Jerry List helped offset the first penalty and gave the Huskers a fourth and one at the LSU 34 and Kinney picked up the first down with a dive over the stacked up line. 'And again, it was a Tagge to List pass, this one for 14 yards, that helped erase the disappointment of the second penalty and giving the Huskers a first down at the Tiger eight. Two Tagge passes went incomplete and a third down pass to Johnny Rodgers lost two yards, bringing Rogers onto the field for his success-full 26-yarder that put the Huskers ahead by 3-0. The Tiger offense was able to penetrate into Husker territory only once, that one being stopped by Walline's fumble recovery, before the drive in the final three minutes that ended in LSU's three-pointer for the 10-3 halftime margin. The Tigers started at their own 24 with slightly more than three minutes remaining in the half and used the passing combination of quarterback Buddy Lee to receiver Andy Hamilton to move to the NU 10.

But with a 'second and one at that point, Harper barged through to throw quarterback Bert Jones for a 10-yard loss and after a Lee pass fell incomplete, Mark Lumpkin came on to boot a 36-yard field goal with only 49 seconds remaining in the half.
