Incidentally, Ryan did get his no-hitter. It was the fifth of his career. And that made the event especially historidThat's no-hitters than anyone in major league history -r ever! ABC selection just as Then there was ABC, which started the afternoon off on the wrong foot by selecting the Minnesota-Oregon State football "contest" as its Game of the Week. If you can call a 42-14 Minnesota win a contest It's no wonder that the College Football Association (CFA) schools the 61 "biggies" arft'up in arms over" the NCAA football TV package. The NebraskaPenn State game (even though Nebraskans didn't like the way it turned out) would have been a much better show.

The lead changed hands eight times and was tied once during the Cornhusker-Nittany Lion clash. That was a contest. But, because of the limited number of appearances any one team can make, ABC said it will State later (against Alabama, because that likely will be the game when The Bear has a chance to break the record for most wins by a coach; and against Pittsburgh, because that's the only good game on that particular weekend) and thus couldn't "waste" a Penn State appearance against Nebraska. What the CFA wants and the NCAA had better deliver if it wants to keep control of college football on TV is to give the public the best game possible each Saturday and quit worrying about whose "turn" it is. Welcome to the club, Barry Lots of people called the paper later Saturday night, chortling over Oklahoma's last-second loss to Southern Cat Actually, those folks are letting their dislike for the Soon-ers interfere with sound reasoning.

If you're a Cornhusker fan, would it be best to beat an Oklahoma team that is No. 1 in the nation, or a team that is farther down the list? The answer is obvious. If Nebraska can rebound from its less than glorious start, you want every opponent to be as high up the ratings ladder as possible. But the OU-USC game (which at least did help TV overcome the bad marks recorded earlier in the day), accomplished one' thing. It showed Sooner Coach Barry Switzer how "it" feels.

of course, is being in control and ahead most of the game, only to lose in the closing seconds. Nebraska and Florida State could tell Barry how that feels. But, from the look on his face when USC tallied a last-second touchdown, he now knows. Tennessee edges Auburn; Miss.

I turn with the ensuing kickoff only to fumble. But the Husker defense held. Three plays and a punt later, Penn State had the ball again on Nebraska's side of midfield, and again the Lions were denied. "Our defense was out on the field too much of the time," Osborne said. "They had a good offense, but we can play better defense than that.

And our offense did not play well during the first half. I can't remember so many turnovers in a half before." Nate Mason opened at quarterback for Nebraska. He led the Huskers to a 7-3 lead early in the second quarter when Roger Craig, who had 121 yards for the day, tallied from two yards out. Tight end Jamie Williams tacked a long run onto a short toss from Mason to cover 55 yards and get the ball in position for the score. But, after fumbles on Nebraska's next two possessions both of which were turned into Franco field goals and a 9-7 Penn State lead Mark Mauer took over.

Mason only saw action for three more Tplays, at the outset of tie second half, the rest of the day. Osborne, who admitted his quarterback situation "isn't very stable," indicated Mauer and sophomore Turner Gill are likely to be the two signal callers to be prepared for next Saturday's home game against Auburn. After Ric Lindquist recovered a Penn State fumble the Nittany Lions had their troubles also with five fumbles before half-time Mauer hit split end Scott Woodard with a 17-yard pass. Steels ran for 13 more and Craig added nine to get the ball in position for a 30-yard field goal by Eddie Neil. That gave the Huskers a 10-9 lead with just 1:25 left before intermission.

Penn State only needed 55 seconds of the time. Warner ran for 14 yards and caught a 26-yard pass from quarterback Todd Blackledge. Then BlackJedge lofted a 33-yard pass toward the end zone. Flanker Kenny Jackson beat two Nebraska 'defenders Jeff Krejci and Rodney Lewis to gather it in for a 17-10 halftime Penn State advantage after the Lions were also successful on a two-pjint conversion pass. "We had finally regained the momentum until that happened," Osborne said.

"That play really hurt. It looked like the ball was thrown up for grabs. I thought we would have a good chance to make an interception. But I think Lewis tripped just before the ball got there." Despite their first-half troubles, Nebraska not only came back to tie the score early in the third quarter, but actually took the lead again before the final frame. Penn State's Jon Williams fumbled a Husker punt and NU's Mitch Krenk recovered.

Five plays later, on a nine-yard pass from Mauer to Jamie Williams, it was a brand new ball game, 17-17. Though Penn State got in front again on Franco's fourth field goal Mauer engineered a 74-yard drive for a 24 20 NU lead. Mauer Carried for 11 yards and passed to Steels for 15 more before hitting Woodard with a 16-yard aerial for the TD. At the outset of the fourth quarter, Penn State put together a 61-yard drive for a 27-24 lead and with just under five minutes left, Franco put the final points on the board with his fifth field goal. On Nebraska's next possession, Mauer was intercepted and the Huskers never threatened after that.

Osborne pulled out all the stops in an effort to overcome the turnovers and other mistakes. Neil successfully executed an onside kickoff after Nebraska's first score although it went for naught as the Huskers fumbled two plays later and NU succeeded in gaining a big first down when Osborne had I-back Tim Brungardt take a short snap and run up the middle while the Huskers were in punt formation on fourth down. Auburn, which invades Lincoln next weekend, was a 10-7 loser to Tennessee Saturday and is also 1-2 on the season. "The key now is how our team reacts," Osborne said. "They could go to pieces, or they can buckle down and pull together.

"On the positive side our effort was good certainly better than at Iowa (in NU's other loss). I can't chew the players out for not trying. We just have a lot of things to iron out" LLLlLLLi.LLLLLLL'LLLL CLLLLLLLLLL.Li.LLLLLt.LL i.t,Li.LiLLi.Lt. t.s.t, ULLtmi.
