But you'd never know it. Everybody did a fairly decent impersonation of the comedian who claims "I don't get no respect." "No one believes in us -no one," defensive tackle Mike Stensrud said after the Cyclones' 24-21 upset of Nebraska. "No one believed in us last year.

No one believes in us this year. No one respects Iowa State," Stensrud said. "We get no respect," offered Tom Randall, ISU's other defensive tackle. "No matter how hard we work, people won't give it to us." Linebacker Tom Boskey was even more blunt. "I just hope Oklahoma has a little respect for us next week because I know Nebraska didn't have any for us today," he said.

Earle Bruce, the Cyclones' peppery head coach who can't be much taller than 5-7, undoubtedly is behind much of the "no respect" theme. "I wouldn't play too much on that," he said, "but I think I our people have been around long enough to know it exists. I Look what happened with the bowl games last year, Wouldn't you be bitter?" Bruce was and apparently still is bitter. The aftertaste. may be bad, but it's amazing how winning is washing it out.

However upset we are, it's making us mad and I'm glad of that," Bruce said. "Anybody who looks at the movies should have known. Dayton is not a bad football team. They compete just as hard as Iowa State or Nebraska." In marked contrast to his emotionally-charged reaction after last year's 37-28 upset of Nebraska in Ames, Bruce on Saturday seemed hung up on a point before addressing writers. "Was that a fluke? Was that a fluke this year?" he asked a Des Moines sportswriter with a confident smile, not expecting an answer.

Bruce let a quick-striking offense provide the answers. The Cyclones played Quick Draw McGraw more than once, using the draw play repeatedly for important chunks of yardage and a 19-yard touchdown by Dexter Green. "We've had it (the draw) for two weeks. We've just been saving it," Bruce said. "We thought it would be a good play for us today.

Anyone knows one bad charge by the defense and Dexter will make the right pick (for the open hole)." Bruce insisted he thought all along the Cyclones could move the ball at will against the Huskers. "The only time they stopped us," he noted, "was when they used an 11-man line. I knew we could move it." Green, who rushed for 139 yards, knew it, too, but he admitted the success of the draw was a surprise. Nebraska didn't prepare for that play," he said. "They kept expecting me on the 21-28 outside, the play I usually run.

"I'd just read the noseguard and the tackles and Cal Cummins (ISU's fullback who rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown) would knock down the safety. He didn't have to worry about the linebackers. They'd already dropped off for the pass." Green apologized if fans misread his end zone antics where he did a slow motion jitterbug, knocking his knees together, after scoring. "Not that many ball players get into the end zone," he explained. "I felt I had done something.

They (the officials) told me thcre'd be a flag if I did it again. I just do it to fire up. I can't see no harm in celebrating for that extra little second." Green did his routine one more time Saturday. He did a modified Chubby Checker on the field after the final gun after he got some respect. Huskers George Andrews (96) and Jim Wightman (59) can't prevent ISU quarter- Green (24) to set up the Cyclones' first touchdown in the first quarter.
