Our offensive line really took control out there.

If we would hove hod a few turnovers early In the game It might have given them encouragement, but we didn't. In that first half we eliminated a lot of the mistakes we hod been making." On his 43-yord touchdown pass to tight end Junior Miller with 3:37 remaining In the first quarter: "It was on isolation play. I faked an isolation to the l-bock and Junior went straight down the field. He got by the safety ond mode a good catch on the ball. "Junior Is an Importont part of our offense.

Any time he can get the ball he is on important asset to our team." On opening Big Eight play against Kansas next week: "The Big Eight is always tough ond we are lust going to have to play good ball ogainst Kansas so we can make our goal of winning oil of them this year. We ore always enthused about getting in the conference schedule." On Nebraska's playing four quarterbacks in the game: "I stood on the sidelines a few years myself, so I know it's a good feeling for everyone to get in there. Everyone wants to play on Saturday." Quarterback Jeff Quinn "I needed this playing time. I needed to get back in there. It has been awhile since I really played and I didnt want to get rusty.

We were well prepared and we lust went right at them. That was our basic plan." On his fumble after a 17-yard run to the New Mexico State IS yard line in the second quarter: "it's been awhile since I really ran the ball and I might have been a little careless. I saw green ahead of me and I was looking for a score. I might have goto little careless." Quarterback Mark Mauer "It felt great to get in there. There wasn't much pressure put on me, the other guys had already established the score.

But it still felt good to get in there and do something. I really would like to have a chance to plov a little bit when the going is little tougher and the stakes are on the line, maybe contribute a little more. I guess right now I lust have to wait my turn because Jeff (Quinn) and Tim (Hager) are doing a good lob moving the boll. We were hoping to play a lot of people this game, and that's certainly what I am hoping for, right now at least." On his 13-yord TD pass to split end Scott Woodord at the end of the third quarter: "It was intended for the tight end, Jeff Finn. Woodard was my secondary receiver, but I had to scramble to my right, and I found Woodard ond iust threw to him on the run." I back Jarvis Redwine On the success of Nebraska's running game: "First of all, I felt like the offensive line, Goodspeed, Havekost, Saalfeld, Schleusener, Steiner, all of them, they did it all.

If yoc want to look at the stars of this game, you first have to look at them. I felt they ployed great and they deserve all the credit. We have so much depth on this team. We have a lot of skilled running backs on this team, but if it wasn't for the offensive line we wouldn't gain a yard. We are lust fortunate ond blessed to have an offensive line like ours." On the play of several freshmen backs in the game: "That wos everybody's goal today, to get everyone in as fast as possible.

They (the freshmen ond reserves) work iust as hard as we do. I wish they could plov every game. It's good for them to play. If things aren't going their way this year, they can always look forward to next year. The main thing is they get some game experience." Defensive back Mark LeRoy On the play of New Mexico State: "I couldn't understand it.

I thought they were going to throw the ball 90 percent of the time, but they kept trying to run, much more than we expected. We worked the whole week on the idea they would pass a lot." On the Black Shirts first shutout of the season: "A shutout is always a confidence builder. We needed one to see how well we can play. A shutout is always good no matter who you play." On beginning Big Eight Conference play next week: "It's going to be a lot tougher, but we are lust going to have to get everyone together and work hard for the Big Eight. We would like to win them all.

We'll lust take it week by week, and if it happens it's great, and I feel we have a good chance. But It's a week-to-week thing." I-back Craig Johnsoa On his Increased ploying time and scoring three touchdowns: "I feel real good. It always feels good to play, and to score. I was happy to get the playing time. It's been while since I really got In there.

I like to play, iust like everyone else." On the start of the conference schedule: "I think there will be a more intense feeling during the week in practice, but I think in the same respect everyone knows you have to concentrate every week. The Big Eight is iust another barrier and we have to get ready for it. "Today we executed well, our line really blocked good. We played real good game except for the fumbles. When we get down the rood (against Big Eight opponents) we won't be able to afford to put the ball on the ground and get away with it like we hove been." On ploying both l-bock and fullback: "I enioy ploying them both.

I guess I enioy l-back a little more because you get to carry the ball ond I enioy that. But coming from a high school that played a veer offense like I did, (Omaha Westslde) I also enioy the quick start from the fullbock position." Tight end Jeff Finn On Nebraska's lopsided win: "We could have turned it into a pretty big rout if we had thrown the ball more. But we tried to keep it on the ground most of the fourth quarter. Their defensive backs were coming up quite a bit to help out on the run, and that helped the passing gome. They had to respect our running game first." Freshman quarterback Nate Mason On the point at which he thought he might get in the game: "The first two times we scored by iust walking right down the field." Linebacker Brent Williams On spending the second half without his pads on the sideline: "I fust tried to keep the motivation up, keep the guys who were playing enthusiastic.

You feel good about a game like this because it's a win and because it's good for the players down the line (on the depth chart). They can get some game experience and that might help us later in the season." 10 5 3.3 5.0 Passing No. Co. Yds PI Hager 5 3 57 0 Quinn 11 7 123 0 Mauer 2 1 13 0 No. Co.

Nebraska won the toss but elected to have a strong wind at its back rather than take the ball. The strategy paid off. The Aggies couldn't move and three plays later had to punt into the stiff breeze. Nebraska took over at the NMSU 48. The score be-; came 21-0 before Nebraska ever started a play from its own side ff the 50.

On the other hand, during the entire game, the Aggies only snapped the ball from scrimmage three times from the Nebraska side of midfield. Once to throw and incomplete pass; once to punt; and once to initiate a play on which they were caught holding and promptly penalized 15 yards back into their own territory. A 14-yard run by Redwine was the biggest gainer as the Huskers went 48 yards in 11 plays to score the first TD. Craig Johnson rammed in from two yards out. Three plays and a punt after the ensuing kickoff, Nebraska was back in business again.

This time it took seven plays to go 36 yards. Redwine gained 32 of the 36, including the last yard for his first touchdown in a Big Red uniform. Same story, third verse. Three plays and New Mexico State punted again. This time it took just one play to cover the neces- sary 43 yards on a Tim Hager to Junior Miller pass.

Nice catch! The fourth touchdown was a thing of beauty, an 80-yard punt return by Kenny Brown. Two key blocks, by defensive backs Mark LeRoy and Jeff Krejci, got Brown to a wall of friendly blockers who escorted him to the end zone. It was the third longest punt return in Nebraska history, topped only by a 92-yard jaunt by Johnny Rodgers against Oklahoma State in 1971 and an 84-yard job by Pat Fischer against the same Cowboys back in 1960. "Improving our punt returns was one of our goals for this game," NU defensive coordinator Lance Van Zandt said. "We had some other good ones during the game (the Huskers re-; turned six punts for a total of 137 yards).

If you block a punt correctly," Van Zandt added, "it's just like getting money from home without writing." Dean Sukup pushed the score to 31-0 at halftime with a 21-yard field goal at the gun. Jeff Quinn had come in to replace Hager and drove the Huskers 62 yards to the Aggie five before the clock forced him to settle for the three-pointer. Nebraska overcame a 15-yard handicap at the outset of the second half. The alumni band, celebrating that organization's 100th anniversary, was having a great time on the field with some fancy maneuvers. The crowd loved it, but the ref didn't.

He slapped the Huskers with a 15-yard penalty. "As it turned out, it didn't matter," Osborne said, "but I'd sure hate to have something like that happen when we were playing Oklahoma." New Mexico State tried an onside kick. It didn't work and the Huskers promptly moved 86 yards to lake a 37-0 lead on the second of Johnson's three touchdowns, this one from 1-yard out. The count ran to 43-zip on a 1-yard quarterback sneak by Quinn and to 50-0 before the end of the third quarter on a 13-yard pass from Mark Mauer the third of four NU quarterbacks to split end Scott Woodard. The final TD came with more than 12 minutes left in the game on an 11-yard dash up the middle by Johnson to climax a 45-yard drive.

Freshman Roger Craig, the brother of ex-wing-back ace Curtis, contributed a nifty 11-yard run just before the scoring play. Osborne doesn't feel he'll have any trouble getting the team back down to earth this week. "The Big Eight season starts with Kansas Salurday. Those are the games that really count." Underdog Kansas, after holding a commanding 21-7 lead over Syracuse at the end of the first quarter Saturday, wilted down the stretch to lose, 45-27. It'll be Homecoming Day when the Jay hawks come calling.

The, first play Mason called was a pitch on which he was supposed to block behind the ball carrier.

But when he turned, "there was nobody to block. "I just stood there and looked around," he said but not at the crowd. Mason was given instructions to run "basic plays, no passes," and that was fine with him. "I played in a lot of washout games in high school. You don't need to blow anybody out like that," he said.

Mason kept the ball once for a two-yard gain, and that was his official welcome to big-time college football. "The lick I took was pretty he said. "Otherwise it was just like high school; it seemed pretty easy." As long as he didn't look up at the crowd, that is. The 76,135 fans excited Roger Craig. "Vou get more pumped up than you do playing in jayvee games," he said.

Craig had seen action in Nebraska's two previous home games two plays in each one but the freshman I-back from Davenport, Iowa, had yet to carry the football. The first play on which he was in, Saturday, Craig bolted 11 yards, carrying to the New Mexico State 11-yard line one play Craig Jolujson scored NU's final touchdown. When quarterback Mark Mauer handed Craig the ball, it appeared the 6-2, 203-pounder might even score on his first varsity carry, much to the delight of the Husker fans. "It was an off-tackle play, and the line did a great job of opening the hole," said Craig. "It (the play) opens up all the time, and I saw the end zone, but I got so excited, I didn't know which way to go.

"I was supposed to go off a block by the split end, but I didn't see him. I guess I should have stayed inside more," he said. Craig finished with 24 yards in four carries, one of which he fumbled and retrieved ate it bounced ott the artiiicia ur5. ''I didn't really get a good hold on it because I was running too fast," he said. "The New Mexico State guys were saying how lucky I was.

We were having a good time by then." Craig's mishandled play gained four yards. "It was fun," he said. Freshman I-back Dennis Rogan, of Colorado Springs, Colo was credited with three carries for 12 yards, 11 of them coming on an end sweep which carried to the New Mexico State 39 yard line during Nebraska's final series. Fullbacks Doug Wilkening and Craig Holmon each also got to carry the football as the Huskers ran up 57 points. But it was apparent Osborne wasn't trying to embarrass the Aggies, not when he was willing to send in an entire freshman backf ield.

"I had to keep asking them what plays they knew," said Visitors' views By Ken Hambleton and Brent Robinson Defensive back Michael Armand On Junior Miller's 43-yard touchdown reception: "That was one well-coached football team we played today. And Junior Miller was iust one of many very tough receivers. "Our first saftey iumped too soon and I was the only one left to stop Miller. I didn't know where we were on the field, until I noticed the goal line. I tried to pull him back, but he's such a big and powerful guv wooie, strong." On playing NU: "It was a good game for us to see iust where we are, and although vou misht not think so, I think we did some good things, and we'll learn from our mistakes.

Nebraska didn't really blow us out they iust kept coming and we couldn't shake them, and that coaching got them a 57-0 win." Defensive tackle Bernard Johnson On recovering Craig Johnson's fumble: "The ball was there ond I was in the right place. I was feeling pretty good about that one." On Nebraska's offensive line: "I think the second stringers were better than the first stringers. The first string goes at vour feet and moves vou around, but you can get by them if vou iust push them away with your hands. "The second stringers hit hard, the way you expect an often-sive'line to hit. Whatever, I think Nebraska's in good shape when it comes to blocking, they know the basics, and the basics will get you wins.

Everybody I faced today, and that was a lot of different guvs, knew what he was supposed to do and that's how they score so many points." Linebacker Don Campbell On Nebraska's offense: "I knew they had a super offense. Jarvis Redwine) is iust a super quick back. I really think he's better than Hipp. I know he's quicker. Nebraska is a good outside running football team, but you really can't play them to run outside or they burn you up the middle." On playing before 76,000 fans: "It was a wonderful feeling to play In front of that kind of crowd.

They're one of the best crowds I've ever played In front of. They weren't as hostile as some of the places we play." On playing ogainst Jarvis Redwine, an ex-teamate on prep all-star team: "Jarvis ond I were crosstown rivals In high school, but we played on an all-star team together and we won. It sure was a lot better having him on my side rather than having to go against him." Fullback Terry Haynes On NU's defense: "Their defense Is pretty good. Our offensive line iust didn't do os well as they're capable of. Iniuries hurt us a lot.

It seems like evervtime we get somebody who's beginning to do the iob for us, he gets hurt, We played hard, iust not hard enough." On the final S7-0 score: "I really don't think they tried to run up the score on us. They were running right at us at the end. It wasn't as If they were throwing bombs into the endzone. Nebraska Is a good team. They could score that many points against anybody." On playing in Memorial Stadium: "It sure fires you up to see all thot red.

Everybody on our team was really fired up. We iust got beat by a superior bollclub." Defensive back Anthony Watson On Jarvis Redwine: "He's lust a real fine runner, and classy too. I'd help him up and he'd help me up, I really enioy It when you play against someone as classy os that." On ploying In Memorial Stadium: "I'm from a real smoll town. You dream about playing in a place like this. You never think you'll be able to ploy in front of a crowd like this, it was a dream." On Nebraska's offense: "They were iust awesome.

They execute so well, sometimes I didn't even know where the ball was." Back-up quarterback Jamie McAlister "I knew I might get a chance to ploy, so I got used to the crowd iust standing on the sidelines. These are some of the best fans I've ever seen. They clapped when we went to the locker room after the game. They could have really made us feel low, but Instead they gave us credit for what we had lust been up against. We knew our chances were slim ogainst Nebraska, but we gave it 100, and I think that's what really counts." On playing before 76,000 fans' at a freshman: "It's really something to call Mom and Dad about," LAWRKNCK, Kan.

(AP) -Joe Morris, carrying the ball just 23 times, rushed for 252 yards, a Syracuse record, and scored three touchdowns to ignite a second-half surge and carry the Orangemen to a 45-27 nonconference football victory Saturday over Kansas. Morris, a 5-foot-7, 177-pound sophomore, scored on runs of 4, 32 and 7 yards as Syracuse wiped out a 21-7 first-quarter deficit and cruised to its fourth straight victory. Kansas, 1-3, scored the first three times it had the ball and an upset seemed to be brewing before the Orangemen scored 10 points in the second quarter to pull to within 21-17 at half-time. Syracuse took the lead, 24-21, with 3:43 left in the third quarter when Morris zipped through left tackle and went 32 yards to score, capping an 87-yard drive in which Morris ac counted for 74 yards In the opening minutes of the final period, the Orangemen, who scored 106 points in their previous two games, covered 61 yards in only three plays with Morris dashing the final seven yards. Morris' fumble on the game's third play put Kansas in business on the Syracuse 35 and eight plays later Walter Mack scored from the 1.

The Jayhawks' next scoring drive started from the Syracuse 41 and usedjust four plays, with Brian Bethke hitting David Verser for a 24-yard pass play and Harry Sydney dancing 14 yards into the end zone untouched. Syracuse mounted an 80-yard drive to set up Morris1 4-yard touchdown run in its next possession. In the drive, Art Monk caught a 17-yard pass from Bill Hurley to boost his career reception mark to 1,200 yards, a Syracuse record. Hurley also got in on the assault on the record book, becoming Syracuse's all-time passing leader with more than 2,640 yards. Bethke and Verser teamed up on a 64-yard pass play to the Syracuse 16 late in the second period, then Verser snared a 2-yard touchdown pass for a 21-7 Kansas lead.

If Krejci gets any more kick-out blocks like he did Sat urday on the Aggies' Brian Corrie, punt returns will be a major weapon. "All I see," Krejci said, "is Ihe contain man and Kenny.

1 try to time my block just' right, so Kenny can cut underneath me to the wall." "It has to be perfect," Van Zandt said, "because if it's too early, the defender can come back and still make the tackle." "It's more of a screen than a block," Krejci explained. "I'd like to knock the guy down, but it usually doesn't happen. My job is just to keep the contain man from closing in on Kenny." Saturday, Krejci accomplished the mission with perfection. In terms of public stature, his reward was less than Brown's. But it was equally satisfying.

didn't go downtown by myself," Brown said. "A lot of other people went with me." "Everybody else had to to block. When I caught the ball, I thought two guys had a real good shot at me. But Krejci and LeRoy took them out. "I've had blocking like that earlier, too.

I just wasn't using it. I was cutting either too far or not enough." Although there is truth to that, Van Zandt thinks Brown is too modest in assessing statistics less than last year when he led the Big Eight and finished third in the nation in punt returns. Brown hasn't been nationally ranked this season, but he's caught the ball in heavy traffic with the consistency of Freddie Lynn in centerfield at Fenway Park. Saturday's 80-yard trip downtown is the third longest in Husker history, surpassed only by Johnny Rodgers' 92-yarder against Oklahoma State in 1971 and Pat Fischer's 84-yarder against Oklahoma State in 1960. LeRoy, assigned to block the uncovered lineman, keyed the wall set up for Brown.

He delivered such a crushing block on Jim Hemphill, the New Mexico State tackle suffered a mild concussion and never returned to action.
