IPCDUEOT A lib Lincoln Journal Star Friday, Oct, 20, 1959 7 OSU quarterback Gundy adjusting to new supporting cast XX 'i -I- 7 K- i- xcv.v i' 'f passer in the country last year. "I've had to work harder," be said. "I have to hit the receivers on the numbers instead of just throwing it up there, and I've had to scramble more than In the past "I can go through practice blindfolded, because I've had so many repetitions since my freshman year, But I have to concentrate on everything I do, because we have so many new people, and we've got such a long ways to go this year Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said Gundy is sUQ one of the most dangerous quarterbacks in the country. "Nobody Is as experienced quarter' back as he is and nobody is as hard to pen up and bring down as he is," Osborne said. "I believe for that reason and others, that Oklahoma State will be the best team we've played this year." Gundy said he hopes to live up to that billing.

"Nebraska is the only team we've never had a chance against aa long as Pve been here," he said. "They took us out early last year in that crazy 6342 game. The year before they drilled us and stopped just about everything (354), and my freshman year, we had too many mistakes (NU won J0-10). "Osborne and Nebraska are the best in the country at getting a lead and stomping a team flat We need to stay in the game to have a chance this time," mistakes, But we're 2-4 now, and we learned we can do it" Gundy has never worked this hard for win in his life. -The Oklahoma State senior quarter back has had better years, The Cowboys won 10 games and went to a bowl game each of the last two years.

The Cowboys had the "triplets" of Gundy, AO-American receiver Hart Lee Dykes and Heisman Trophy winning tailback Barry Sanders, rolling up the nation's best in scoring (47.5 points) and 515.18 yards a game last year. But Dykes and Sanders are in the pros, and the 1988 of fensive line completed its eligibility. "Now, I wouldn't blame much less Nebraska, for overlooking us this year," Gundy said, "We were a big threat the last couple of years. This year, I cant fault anybody for thinking we're not the team we were the last pie of years, Because we're not." Gundy said patience and rebuilding' have come easily this season. year and the year before, we did pretty much what we wanted to do on offense.

If we needed a touchdown we usually got it," he said. "Now, the receivers may not be In the clear the way Hart Lee was. Our backs dont have the boles and cant break the tackles the way Sanders could I can only do what I can do." Gundy's statistics show a considerable drop from his ranking as No, 2 r-. ByKenHambletoiT It would have been better for Mike Gundy If Oklahoma State hadnt needed him in the final minutes of last week's game. But the Cowboys were struggling, and i Kansas State had them on the ropes with less than 10 minutes remaining.

I OSU Coach Pat Jones asked Gundy if he was ready to go in. And as he has done for 28 times since his first game as I freshman, Gundy sparked the Cowboys to winning touchdown. "I would be better off physically if I hadn't played and just rested my knee," Gundy said. "But they needed me. I wasn't feeling that bad, and I wanted to play." That was an it took.

Gundy hit all eight of his passes, Including a ltyard touchdown pass to Brent Parker with 1:37 left, to beat Kansas State. The Cow. boys would have had another touchdown but lost a fumble at the Wildcats' two on Gundy's first drive. "That drive did a lot for me and for the team," said Gundy, who has six Big Eight records and needs 73 yards to pick up the Big Eight career total offense record from former Missouri quarterback Phil Bradley. "As Coach Jones said, driving 91 yards against air is tough.

You have to keep your composure, avoid penalties, turnovers and every other kind of mistake, It's tough to do that without some JK" x' 1 ft Probable starters 1 -I If iiiilifiilili-i OFFENSE NEBRASKA OKLAHOMA STATE (2-4, 1-1) No. Player Ht. Wt. Yr. Pos, No.

That's sweet as in Sugar, which is the howl game the winner probably will play on New Year's Day. Sixth-ranked Tennessee and No.

10 Alabama are both 5-0, the first time since 1973 that both teams have entered the game unbeaten and untied. The winner will take sole possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference nnd become the favorite for the SECs Sugar Bowl berth. "Every game is Important, but certainly you can't underplay the Importance of this one," Tennessee Coach Johnny Majors said. Alabama Coach Bin Curry agrees, "It's a huge, huge rivalry," he said, "People take it very seriously, and, of course, so do we." It will be Tennessee's first pme this season without star tailback Reggie Cobb, who was kicked off the tearnby Majors last week after reportedly failing a drug test.

Maupln said Us young quarterback Is showing improvement "I think his biggest area of Improvement is that he's starting to learn the offense. It's not 100 percent yet but you have to remember that he's Just a freshman, He has average speed, and he's fairly tan (5-foot-J). He has a lot of assets."

"It's an age-old rivalry, and every year we look forward to he said.

"But. we're trying to keep things in perspective this year.

As a matter of fact, It revived the rest of the Broncos, Gottberg said. "We're going to be really tough," he said.

"We're pumped up even more now. We've got the spirit to win again." Gottberg said he's confident the Broncos will play well against Midland Saturday. Klckoff is set for 1:30 pm in Hastings. "It's homecoming, and we'd like to win In front of our own fans," said Gottberg, a freshman from Lincoln Northeast "Coach (Wendell) Maupln keeps telling us that all of our remaining games can be Offensively, the win against No. 20 rated Dana was a step In the right direction, Gottberg said "I think it was really big, because our ly.

He hit Greg Gamer on a 28-yard touchdown pass, and he ran 78 yards for another score. He said his touchdown run was easy. "It was an option, and I just moved up field Instead of pitching the ban to the back," Gottberg sail "There was a big bole to my left, and I just ran for it Where I looked up, nobody was there." Gottberg said the Wesleyan game gave the Broncos a lot of confidence beading into the game against Dana "We had a feeling we'd win the game," said Gottberg.

"When we moved the ban pretty good against Wesleyan, we felt we could move it on anybody." offense hasnt done that well the past few games," he said. "We scored a few more points against them, and our defense played well the whole game," Maupln said the Broncos, 3-4 overall and 1-1 In the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, needed the win. "We're playing a lot of young kids, and you cant gain a whole lot of confidence in losses," he said. "You need good things to happen to gain confidence. That win certainly did that" The previous week, Hastings was beaten by Nebraska Wesleyan 42-7.
