"This year there were no gimmicks, no risks, no trying to avoid something in hopes that they didn't pick it up," he said. "We played them' straight up and' we gave them no surprises. We didn't have to trick them to. slow them down and that's a good feeling." ft The other thing that made McCartney feel proud of his team was that Nebraska did try a gimmick play against Staff photos by.

"We knew we were a better defense than to allow tnem to iat jus by 22 points like a lot of were left waving our arms chasing him." Cornerback Lyle Pickens, the last Buff defender with a chance. tackle Rathman, said he got his hands on Rath-man's ankles. "I took off after him and thought I could eel him when he cut back, tut he ran right out of my hands." Safety Rodney Rogers, who was cred ited with eight tackles and a fumble rev covery, was. screened by Nebraska's Robb Schnilzler on Rathman's run.

"I had a shot and I dove at him but I Was nowhere closeto catching him," he' said. "I wont say that touchdown took us mentally. In a way It made us mad for them to score that quick. "This wasnt the best we've played by far. had too many mistakes and missed too many tackles.

Nebraska is a good overall team, but if we hadn't made so many mistakes and hurt ourselves we. would have won," Rogers said. that we can go to."

The Buffs held Nebraska scoreless In the first quarter and held the Huskers to the fewest points this season since NU's opening-game loss to Florida State, "The key to stopping Nebraska is controlling their first-down success. We forced them into a number of long-yardage situations and that on defense," McCartney said. In 37 first-down plays, Nebraska, gained less than five yards 20 times.

Eight times the Huskers pined no yards or were tackled for losses on first-down plays. "The defense played wen enough, but we did not have the. continuity on offense. There was too much indecision, some bad decisions and we had our chances and missed on them," he said. One key opportunity came after Nebraska took a 14-7 lead and then fumbled at its 34-yard line with 13:26 left in the game.
