Huskers Scoring NU-OU How scored "Time left FIRST QUARTER 0-7 Bradley 1 run :03 vi mm iu ua uiuvk. gained just five yards and the Sooners were forced to punt But Smith fumbled the punt and Oklahoma recovered at the Nebraska 43 with four minutes left That took the steam out of the Husker defense and Bradley sprinted 29 yards on a keeper play with 55 seconds left to produce the final score. "I think we played hard," Osborne added. "I think our players gave a great effort Obviously, we made more mistakes than they did. We just had too many missed scoring opportunities.

I'm still proud of our players. I think they've played well this year. "I thought the defense played very well We had one or two breakdowns. They gave us good field position enough times, but we just didn't take advantage of those opportunities. "I felt a little bit anxious after we missed those early scoring opportunities, because sometimes when you dont get those in, it turns on you.

And it did today." OU quarterback Danny Bradley, the Sooners led 7-0. Nebraska lost its first scoring oppor tunity early in the second quarter after reaching the OU 29. A Turner pass was intercepted by Jim Rockford. Nebraska sustained the game's only long drive on its next possession, however, moving from its own 16 in 10 plays to score on Smith's 1-yard blast Dale Klein's PAT knotted the score at 7-7. Craig Sundberg replaced Turner to engineer the long march, tossing a 14-yard completion to wingback Shane Swanson and a 38-yarder on a spectacular catch by split end Robb Schnltzler which got the ball to the Sooner two.

Just before half time, Nebraska had another chance to score after gaining the OU 32. But Klein's 49-yard field goal try was way short and wide right Early in the second half, NU defensive tackle Jim Skow recovered Oklahoma's only fumble at the OU 1L But another great chance went for naught after three plays netted just five yards to the Sooner six and Klein's chip shot field goal try from just three yards farther out than a normal extra point kick tut the left upright and bounced back. Before the third quarter ended, Nebraska reached the OU 28 and Scott Livingston got his chance at a field goal this one from 46 yards. He had enough distance but the ball sailed wide left Sooners take over The Sooners took over, and on the very first play, Bradley hit Buster Rhymes on a 31-yard pass and then Bradley, on a keeper, dashed 26 more yards to the NU 12. Although the Black.

Shirts dug in, Tim Lashar came on to kick a 32-yard field goal After Nebraska failed to score on the crucial three-inch run by Smith and five and a half minutes still remained the Black Shirts dug in to give the Huskers still another chance. Three Oklahoma running plays ought to put it in there. "We thought they would stack the middle, so we figured we could run a pitch, which is basically an off tackle play. We'd been having success on that play. It didn't work out to be a very good can, Osborne said in explaining the basic pitch play which went to.

Smith, a play Nebraska often uses near the goal line. "I dont know where we broke down, but we didn't sustain the of scrimmage well enough and they got penetration on us." As was expected between two evenly-matched teams, breaks, turnovers and kicking played an important role. Guilty of fumbles Nebraska was guilty of fumbling four times, losing three. The first came on NU's second possession when quarterback Travis Turner bubbled the center snap.
