The referee signalled safety two points for Nebraska but a correct touchback ruling was soon made and Auburn retained possession at its 20. Nebraska's quarterback situation appears to-remain unresolved. Osborne suggested both Mauer and Gill did some good things and that each of them also had some problems. He said a decision on next week's starter will be made early in the week. The triumph evened Nebraska's pre-league record at 2-2 and set the stage for the Huskers' Big Eight Conference opener in Lincoln next weekend against Colorado.

The Buffs, who opened with a victory over Texas Tech, dropped a 27-7 decision to UCLA Saturday, and now stand 1-3 on the year. On the very next play, NU's Jeff Krejd recovered an Auburn fumble at the nine. Two plays gained six yards, but a delay-of-game penalty nullified most of that On third down, quarterback Turner Gill who split time with Mauer while playing the second and fourth quarters faded to pass but dashed eight yards for the touchdown when he couldnt find an open receiver. Just 3:51 was left in the game. The ensuing kickoff created some confusion.

Auburn's Lionel James muffed the ball at the Tiger seven. The ball rolled back into the end zone. Thinking he would have to return the ball he didn't because he had just touched it, not possessed it James started to run out.

A lot of people didnt realize that Auburn has a very fine ball club. I was disappointed we didn't throw the ball better, but we had some dropped passes because of the wet balL" If Nebraska's offense sputtered, the defense played extremely welL Auburn managed just 150 net yards.

Ninety of it came on three 30-yard gainers. The visiting Tigers also had pass completions of 17 and 14 yards. The latter was a sensational one-handed catch by Auburn tight end Mike Edwards. Those five plays accounted for all but 29 of the Tigers' net gain. Nebraska's offensive frustration can be seen in a review of its first-half possessions.

The Huskers'drove 51 and 60 yards the first two times they had the ball only to bog down at the Auburn 29 and 9-yard lines. "We were out of field goal range the first time," Osborne said. "The second time we had third-and-two and fourth-and-one at Auburn's nine or 10 yard line. We weren't thinking field goal We expect to be able to make that much." On Nebraska's third possession, Mauer missed a wide open Jamie Williams and the drive bogged down. The next three times the Huskers had the ball, a Craig fumble at the Tiger nine, a holding penalty and a pass interception dashed their scoring hopes.

Only once in seven first-half possessions did the Auburn defense force Nebraska to punt after just three plays. Yet the Tigers were out in front, 3-0, on the strength of a first quarter, 52-yard field goal by Al Del Greco. At the intermission break, Nebraska had 11 first downs to Auburn's two; had run 47 plays to 22; and had total offense of 166 to 45 yet trailed. On their first possession of the second half, the Huskers moved to a tie. After reaching the Auburn 21, a holding penalty stalled the drive and Kevin Seibel came on to boot a 39-yard field goal to knot the score with 9:10 left in the third quarter.

In a matter of seconds it was 10-3. Jimmy Williams covered an errant Auburn pitchout at the Tiger four and two plays later, Craig won a foot race to the corner of the end zone. Another Auburn fumble, deep in its own territory, led to Nebraska's final score. Anthony Steels downed a Nebraska punt at the Tiger three. Although Steels skidded through the water from the three into the end zone after downing the punt, the officials made the proper ruling since Steels had possession of the ball before starting his splashing slide.

NU spikers eliminated The University of Nebraska women's volleyball team defeated Oklahoma but then lost to Texas-Arlington, thus failing to advance in pool play at the Southwest Missouri Invitational in Springfield, Missouri. Lady Husker coach Terry Pettit said his team could have played better. "We didn't play well today. We expect to be working hard in practice this week," said Tet-tit. NU was without the services of Shandi Pettine, the starting center blocker who pulled a ligament.

UNL Rugby Club wins The University of Nebraska Rugby club upped its record to 7-0 with an 18-16 victory over Omaha G.O.A.T.S. at East Campus Saturday. By Ken Hambleton Staff Sports Writer If anyone had compassion for the quarterbacks in Saturday's Nebraska-Auburn football game, it was John Unitas. Unitas, the second-leading all-time passer in the National Football League, visiting Nebraska on a promotional tour for Jiffy Lube, said he knew all about what a wet day could do to stop an offense. "The ball gets heavy, the receivers drop the ball, and you can never seem to get a good grip on the ball from the center," said Unitas, who starred with Baltimore and San Diego during his 18-year pro career.

"None of the quarterbacks looked very good today, but not many can on a soaked artificial turf," he said. "It's almost like skating, and when you're passing it's like skating backwards. "Nebraska controlled the ball and part of that might be due to Auburn's inability to get the wishbone offense going on this wet field," Unitas said. "Nebraska mixes up the plays as well as any college team I've seen. But those fumbles make for tough breaks, and it doesn't matter how well you move the ball, you have to hold onto it first.

"When I played, we always lost the ball before we got so deep, so it wasn't a frustrating," said Unitas, who passed for more than 40,000 yards during his pro career. Unitas, who played college football at Louisville, said he was impressed with the spirit Nebraskans showed for football. "I went to the Lincoln High game with Grand Island Friday night and here this afternoon, and I've never seen more enthusiastic football fans than I've seen here," he said. "This is my first visit to Nebraska, and the colors, noise and excitement make me want to come back for more." Unitas was in the news recently and was chastised by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle for running a betting tip service and working for the Baltimore Colts at the same time. "I never had any position with the Colts, and as long as Irsay (Baltimore Colts president Bob Irsay) is there, I'll probably never have a job with them," Unitas said.

"By saying I have to cut my ties with the Colts, they make it look like I was doing something wrong and that hurts me. "I just hope Rozelle and the NFL mind their own business," he said, "because, I'm minding mine." touchdown run: "When the play came in it wasn't precise to me just what it was. It took me two or three seconds to figure out what it was. Then we weren't set on the line. Plus the play was on two (count) instead of one and that takes more time.

I should have looked at the clock. I didn't even know it was down until it was too late. It was probably my fault there. On the sideline after the touchdown he (Coach Osborne) mentioned to me to look at the clock. Those are the things you learn when you are in there." Wingback Irving Fryar On his punt return with 10:29 left in the fourth quarter that nearly broke all the way: "It was supposed to be a light return.

Just get the ball and run up the middle. But they fanned out to the sides and the middle was wide open. I cut to my right after I got past everybody. They had a couple of safety guys there and I tried to beat them to the right. I should have went to the left, and I could have had a touchdown." On Nebraska's inability to score: "I think everybody was aware of the field being so slippery.

We were a lot too careful catching the ball. We drove on them every time we got the ball, but we just kept breaking down at the last moment. We stopped ourselves, dropping the ball, throwing interceptions. That really set us back. Auburn has a good team.

Every team we have played so far has been good. They hit hard, and they have nothing to be ashamed of. They hurt themselves with fumbles too. The wishbone offense goes east to west, so they are vulnerable to fumbles." Linebacker Brent Evans On holding Auburn to a single field goal: "I think our defensive line and defensive ends played a great game today. The linebackers didn't have to do a whole lot.

The game was played behind the line of scrimmage. We played a lot better game today than last week. "They ran a couple of plays that we hadn't seen them run before on films. Coach McBride mentioned before the game he had a dream they would come out and throw a screen pass on us and they did (good for 30 yards late in the third quarter on a drive that ended at the NU 34 when Jeff Merrill recovered a fumbled center-snap.) But except for that they really didn't hurt us much." On an Auburn shift that caused several illegal procedure penalties against both teams: "They were motioning to a double wing and the linebackers have a check call. We were giving the check call and they thought it was the snap count.

They were going on the next sound after the motion. It was causing both teams problems. Really, it was our fault. We aren't supposed to yell things like that, but we have to get our check count." By Wayne Gonyea Star! Sports Writer Center Dave Rimington "I feel we could have played a lot better. They had a tough defense and they were good up front.

We had some bad breaks and it was slippery out there, but we should still have scored more points. You have to expect a few fumbles in conditions like that, but you just learn to regroup and come back at them. We showed that we could. That second half we came back and played real hard." About booing from the crowd: "They expect to see us roll them over every game. But they (Auburn) haven't been rolled over the whole year.

I never heard home fans boo us before. It really shook me up. We are a team it upsets me a lot. When I went to an NU game, back when I was recruited, the fans were great. They showed respect to the other team and to our team." Quarterback Mark Mauer About the boos: "They booed us coming off the field the first half, and that really hurt.

We came off the field and they were riding us for not doing so hot and that really hurts. We are out there trying, and we can't let that kind of stuff affect us. On his fourth quarter interception: "We stopped ourselves. What really hurt me was that interception at the end. I talked with the receiver (Scott Woodard) and he told me he slowed up coming across the middle.

He was looking for an opening. I guess I threw it too soon, and the safety stepped up on the ball and picked it off. That turnover hurt." Quarterback Turner Gill On scoring his first touchdown as a Husker: "It feels great. I wanted to go in and do a good job, make a touchdown. It was a great thrill my first time as a Cornhusker.

The play was a pass to the split end across the middle. The second option is to pitch to the I--back or run. Mike (Rozier) kept yelling at me to pitch the ball, but I was open. I held my arm up once thinking to make a pitch, then decided to go on in. On getting into the game: "I just didn't want to turn the ball over.

The first time I got in (against Florida State) I felt a lot of pressure, because it was my first time. Today I was more relaxed. The only thing I had to worry about today was the wet weather. I never played this kind of weather, even in high school. I just wanted to take care of the football." On hearing the crowd's applause when he enters the game: "I hear them, but mostly just when I'm on the sidelines, or during the weekdays.

I don't even hear it when I'm in the game, I'm just concentrating so much."
