Nebraska I-back Jarvis Redwine, the Big Eight's leading rusher after gaining over 100 yards in each of the last four games, more than doubled that magic figure Saturday while helping the Corn-huskers carve up the Colorado Buffaloes, 38-10.

Redwine. the California junior who came to the Huskers via Oregon State, blazed to 206 yards on 18 carries while scoring three touchdowns on runs of 23, 56 and 13 yards much to the delight of a partisan crowd of 76,168, the largest of the season and the 104th consecutive Me- 3 tion, 13-yard touchdown run left him wiih 202. Then he was stopped for a four-yard loss by Steve Doolittle on his next carry before ripping through the Buffaloes for eight yards on his final run of the game to set up Andra Franklin's two-yard touchdown. "He's getting to be a pretty darn good back," said NU backfield Coach Mike Corgan, emphasizing "darn good." The praise implicit in such a statement from Corgan is comparable to the gushy ramblings of a Hollywood press agent or the puffery spewed forth in the name of advertising. Using Corgan's terminology, Billy Sims is a "darn good back" It translates into Heisman Trophy material.

light; CU It was one in a series of Nebraska blitzes which seemed to explode into perfection every time the Huskers pulled the pin. Defensive Coordinator Lance Van Zandt flashed the green light and the Black Shirts turned themselves loose, "dogging" their linebackers, "firing" their monster and "twisting" their defensive linemen. The second half turned into such a field day for the defense that Colorado lost 24 yards on 21 carries.

He also scored twice in the third quarter on runs of 56 and 13 yards and finished the rushing for the first time at NU.

Redwine disposed of an early 3-0 Buffalo lead when he raced day with 206 yards. Cor gam Jarvis becoming 'pretty darn good back he'd probably gain enough yardage to reach Ceresco. "I've never seen anything like it," one press box observer remarked. Such a "can you believe that?" attitude surfaced nearly every time Redwine touched the football Saturday. The Big Eight's leading rusher handled the ball four times in the second half, breaking two runs for touchdowns he had three for the afternoon and gaining 73 net yards to push him over 200 in one game for the first time since his senior year at Inglewood (Calif.) High School.

"The coaches tell us to drop 12 yards deep and play two yards inside the hash mark," Vering said. "I did and the ball was there.

I've been waiting for that a long time. I can't describe the feeling." However it felt, there was a similar feeling five minutes later when Vering blitzed Colorado quarterback Charlie Davis for a 14-yard loss. the Wildcats who had only scored 15 points in their last three games a 19-3 half time lead. The 6-foot-l, 188-pound Dickey capped the first Kansas State drive with a 13-yard scoring pass to Eddy Whitley and hit wide receiver Phil Pickard with a 25-yard TD pass midway through the second quarter to give the Wildcats a 13-3 lead. Missouri was charged with a 15-yard roughing the passer penalty on the score, and the Wildcats, kicking off from the Tigers' 45, successfully attempted an on-side kick, recovering the ball at the Missouri 28.

Richard Bems had afternoons of 255 and 211 yards in his career.

Isaiah Hipp has had one-game totals of 254 and 207. Hipp holds the single-season rushing record at 1,353 yards (in 1977). With his 889 yards and four regular-season games and a possible bowl appearance remaining. Redwine is within reach of that. His five straight 100-yard performances also ties a Hipp record set during the 1977 season.

In a jammed Nebraska dressing room after the game, NU Chancellor Dr. Roy Young stopped at locker No. 12 to shake Redwine's hand. gets blitz thrown for 65 yards in losses. "We must have blitzed 12 to 15 times in the second half after blitzing five or six times in the first half," Van Zandt said.

Thai's after seven games as a Cornhusker and only 117 carries. Redwine is moving up on the leaders at the rate of 7.6 yards per run. Against Colorado, in Nebraska's 38-10 romp, he gained 206 yards, averaging 11.5 of them each time he took a handoff or a pitch-out. Compare that to Southern California's Charles White, who needed 44 carries to gain 198 yards against California.

Hipp Nebraska's career rushing, leader hen he was a sophomore. The win, the seventh straight for the nation's No. 2 ranked Cornhuskers, was accomplished without Nebraska's usually potent passing game. Coach Tom club didn't complete a single aerial in the first half and was leading 31-10 before quarterback Tim Hager connected with split end Tim Smith for a 20-yard gainer with 5:41 left in the third quarter. Nebraska completed just one other pass, a seven-yarder from Jeff Quinn to tight end Jeff Finn, late in the fourth period after the final points were on the scoreboard.

It was the fewest yards Nebraska has gained passing in five years. The Huskers managed just 16 yards while squeezing out a 13-10 win over Florida in the Sugar Bowl following the 1974 season. The next lowest total was against Kansas two years ago when two completions netted 37 yards. But, just as in that game won handily by the Huskers, 52-7 passing wasn't needed Saturday. "We might have won the game in a little bit more artistic fashion," Osborne admitted, "but Colorado's defense had everybody up on the line of scrimmage where they would try to jam and bump our receivers to keep them from getting off the line.

If our receivers did get out for a pass, they covered them man-toman with four very good and very experienced senior defensive backs." Junior Miller, Nebraska's premier senior tight end, had another version of what was going on out there. "They weren't jamming me or bumping me," he declared, "they were holding me. One ref was looking right at them while they were holding me one time. I thought he'd throw the flag, but he didn't." As a result. Miller failed to catch a pass for the first time in 22 games, dating back to his sophomore season.

"It's not in the playbook, but it's something you can feel when you're out on the field. I could see it out of the comer of my eye; their whole defense had over-pursued," Redwine said "It was a gamble, but when things are going good for the team, you can get away with stuff like that and any tune you score it's all right." Corgan agreed with such an assessment, adding that he was pleased Redwine deviated from the preconceived plan only the one time in Saturday's game.

"Once in awhile you can get away with it, but normally that's not real practical," said Corgan. "You can't tell anybody that's the thing to do. Jarvis just did it on sheer speed. "He's getting a lot more confidence, lie feels more like he's the boss now, and that's what he has to do," Corgan said. Redwine's first touchdown came on a 23-yard run, with Tim Smith making the final block on CU cornerback Mark Haynes near the goal line.

His second covered 56 yards on the second play from scrimmage in the second half; it was his longest run of the season. Redwine slowly worked through the myriad post-game interviews with which he was confronted and then prepared to play host to Kevin Nelson, brother of Stanford's Darrin Nelson and a prospective Husker recruit visiting Lincoln from Pius High School in Los Angeles. Want someone impressive for such an assignment? Try Jarvis. Like some fine red wines, he just gets better with age.
