On Nebraska's Intent to shut down the quarterback position OU has capitalized on In previous years: "Our defense had more responsibility toward the quarterback this year. We tried to mix It up between the fullback and. the quarterback so they wouldn't know what type of plays to run on us." Defensive back Tim Fischer On next week's game against Missouri: "Last year we let Warren Powers come In on us and we were probably overly sentimental about the whole thing. We were thinking about the old days, and that guv took advantage of us and thumped us good. We were kind of mad for awhile for what he did to us last year, and we are going to try and thump his team this year."

Colorado College finished the regular season with a 6-3 record. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) Quarterback Kevin Johnson almost single-handedly demolished Chadron State Saturday, passing for three touchdowns and running for another to lead the Tigers to a 38-6 nonconference victory. Johnson hit scoring strikes of 57, 5 and 25 yards and ran three yards for another touchdown, giving Colorado College a 28-0 halftime lead.

It's always built up as for Bl Elnt champion-ship and the Orange Bowl. This year was my bM Cnd wt rose ,0 fleW wl mpl at he end of the first half: "We though we obout going for It on fourth down. Our inside game was working so well.

We had been jetting five or six yord a crock on our Inside game, but oner we called time out and thought about It. we decided to go for the field goal." On his block that helped spring Berns to a first down in the closing seconds of the gome: "That's probably the best block I've thrown In my life. I'm proud of that. Maybe my dad had a camera on it. If he did, I'm going to autograph the picture and give It to coach (Mike) Corgan.

He's always getting on me about my blocking." Offensive guard Steve Llndqulst "I can't think straight right now, because 've years I still don't believe it. It makes the first day of practice worth It. "They have been to the Orange Bowl a couple of times, but they can have them, because this year It's ours. I've waited five years to enloy this baby, and I'm going to do it. On Nebraska's Inside running game: "We knew last year that we could have run inside on them.

But we got behind and couldn't stay with our game plan. This year we were tied at halftlme and we knew we could blow them away after the half, and we did, too." Offensive guard Barney Cotton "The coaches told us at the beginning of the week that we were going to stick with that Inside running game. I'm lust glad they stuck with us because I think we won the battle of the trenches, both offensively and defensively. We played lust like we practiced, right up the middle. We knew they were faster than we were, so we lust ran right at them." Linebacker John Ruud On his crushing hit on Oklahoma's Kelly Phelps on his return of NU's kickoff following a fourth quarter field goal: "I cut across the field toward him and we were lust running right at each other.

I don't think he even saw me, because I was behind a blocker, and I iust stepped out and hit him. He was running with the ball and I hit him right In the chest. There is no way that wasn't a fumble, I got him good. He was laying out there a while so you know he wos hurting." Middle guard Kerry Weinmaster On Oklahoma's escaping the shadow of their goal line on King's 47-yard run in the fourth quarter: "When we huddled after that run George Andrews was saying how we were disappointed we let them out. But he said to never give up and take a defeatist attitude.

We knew sooner or later we were going to win. It was lust a matter of shutting down their running game." On OU's fumbles: "We knew they were going to fumble. There sure were a lot of balls laying around lust waiting for us to pick them UP." On Oklahoma's running backs: "That Sims is iust unbelievable. He has such speed and acceleration, and King Is the same way." Linebacker Lee Kunz "Our defense was really aggressive today. We plaved with a lot of confidence and never gave up.

We came out and really had some good hits." On his hit on OU quarterback Thomas Lott that caused a first quarter fumble on the NU 7-yard line: "I was coming down the line and Heavy-duty 16 ga. steel construction.

WARM the SPIRIT JfcM and the HOME Sooner sayings By Brian Hill and Chuck Sinclair Coach Barry Swltzer "We made mistakes on both ends both offensively and defensively. We all contributed to our performance. Billy Sims gave us a great chance to win It with his performance and play, it was a great Individual effort when he put the ball at the 1, 2 or 3 whatever it was and fumbled." On OU's late possessions: "I wanted the wind in the fourth quarter because I thought von Schamann could win the close ball gome. On our last two possessions, we had a chance.

Both of them were in field goal range. Even if they stopped us, we could have kicked field goals, but we fumbled both of them." On Nebraska: "They ran exactly like I thought thev would. They're a big strong offensive team and thev run the football. I worried all week about being able to slow them down." Quarterback Thomas Lott "We're not sore losers. It's not the end of the world.

It's part of life you lust come back the best vou can. On the OU fumbles: "Fumbles are lust something you never know about. You never know what's going to cause fumble. As soon as we would come out and get It going as soon as we thought we had it all going our way boom. Halfback Billy Sims "I think we played well enough to win It.

That's the breaks. The best team loses. I still think we're the better team. We should have had it, and we came up short. Thev were sticking us hard, but we stopped ourselves with fumbles." On his fumble late in the game: "I iust fumbled.

It was carelessness on my part. I wos trying to break tackles and giving extra effort and I fumbled. I should have had the ball tucked away better." On the Heisman Trophy: "I could core less about the Heisman Trophy. I was carina about winning the national championship. But those are the breaks win some, lose some." Linebacker George Cumby "It was our mistakes that cost us.

You can't give a team like Nebraska the ball and win. We've got one more game and we've got to go out and make it happen. Any team can beat us if we fumble that much." On Nebraska's offense: "They had a lot of pop plays. They're hard to stop. The I -for motion is the best way to run "pops." It's hard for the linebackers to know which hole to go to.

We have to wait till they go first. They've got a couple of good backs. Thev pick their own holes." Fullback Kenny King On his long run from from the OU 1: "They had three guvs on me with good pursuit and I knew I wouldn't go far. I wanted 99. 1 thought that was the game-breaker, the one that would take us all the way.

I told myself before the play that I had to make something happen." Halfback David Overstreet "It was lust one of those days where the ball was squirting loose. We were trying too hard for those extra yards, and the ball got owoy. I thought we really had the momentum going. It was time to stand up and show them who was No. 1.

We were doing It, then the mistakes hit." On Nebraska: "Mistakes hurt us, but Nebraska played a hell of a ball game. Nebraska didn't surprise us with how physical they were. We knew they had a very physical defense. We knew we couldn't make mistakes against Nebraska and win. We did, and they won." Berns 1 17 Lockett 3 28 Miller 2 40 Hipp 1 2 Punting No.
