That score was a 1-yard run by Calvin Jones with one second remaining. Washington joined the touchdown parade in the second half, catching a 1 -yard scoring toss from freshman quarterback Tommie Frazier. Washington's score was one of four touchdowns in the second half, and the goal posts came down (right) after the 52-7 victory in a steady drizzle Saturday at Memorial Stadium. m'Jlti 4 1 A II, ii.

"The interception he threw when it looked like he just threw it up for grabs, he didn't. The receiver bunted the route and caused it to be real congested there. "It always looks like the quarterback, but I defend him because he deserves it." Detmer, who also fumbled after being sacked by Hill late in the second quarter, didn't alibi for his mistakes. "Any time you lose, you can't feel good about your performance and I definitely feel bad," he said. "It just seemed like some of the mistakes are happening again, they're in different places this time.

I felt like some mistakes I made that I shouldn't have made, so I'd consider it an today if I had to grade it. Loss has sting Detmer went as far to say that Saturday's result was the most demoralizing he's ever experienced. "This one hurts a little bit more, when you lose by this many points," he said. "We've just got to bounce back and play the rest of the season out and try and finish strong." Detmer wasn't predicting whether he thought the Buffaloes will be able to do that. He did insist that his performance won't haunt him long.

"I try and learn from something like this and try and use it to motivate myself," he said. "This is something that nobody likes, and when you lose a game this bad, you're ready to play the next week. You want to try to bounce back and redeem yourself. It's not something that you want to sit around and mope about and feel sorry for yourself. "It's going to be something that I'm always going to feel bad about, but you've got to put it behind you and go out the next week and hurt them." By Curt McKeever Lincoln Journal-Star Can Koy handle the pressure? That was a much discussed topic in the Colorado locker room after the Buffaloes' 52-7 football loss to Nebraska Saturday.

Koy Detmer, CU's freshman quarterback, had just committed four turnovers that helped the Cornhuskers roll to their most lopsided victory against a Bill McCartney team since 1983. And in the Buffaloes' 24-24 tie with Oklahoma two weeks ago, Detmer, the younger brother of 1990 Heisman Trophy winner Ty, had seven turnovers. But according to McCartney, Detmer was not the player most responsible for Colorado's offensive inconsistencies against Nebraska. Freshman played 'OK' "I'm not critical of the way Detmer played," McCartney said. "He did some good things; we made some mistakes around him and made him look bad.

The quarterback always looks like the guy that misfired, but it wasn't the quarterback. "In instances like this, I don't think it's necessary to say who broke down around him, I'm just telling you that Detmer played OK, for the most part. He wasn't real sharp, but he played OK." Detmer, who started because of injuries to No. 1 quarterback Kordell Stewart, threw an interception on Colorado's first play of the game to set up Nebraska's first touchdown. The ball was picked off by NU outside linebacker Travis Hill only after bounding away from tailback Lamont Warren.

Others made mistakes Detmer was also intercepted by Steve Carmer early in the second quarter, which led to a Nebraska field goal.
