8D Nov. 25, 1979 Lincoln, Sunday Journal and Star Switzer -From page ID. "I- k' defense was just super," Switzer said, falling back on the superlatives. The OU coach smiled when asked about the guard-around play Nebraska's Randy Schleusener used to score a 15-yard touchdown and help the Cornhuskers pull within three points with 4:43 remaining in the game. sual play and said: "I wasnt expecting it, but I knew they had a bunch of tricks" Oklahoma didnt need many tricks to capture the Big Kight title Saturday.

The Sooners didn't fool anyone. Mostly it was a case of handing the ball to Sims "They've got to stop what we do best," said Switzer. He said it with some relief. m-l -r J1 Switzer explained the unu 'JUS Make Your Reservation Today! It SKI COLORADO added 130 yards through the air. "We had the worst Held position I've ever seen against the best defense in America; I dont think we ever had the ball (to start a drive) outside the 20 but maybe one time, and yet we made '534' yards," Switzer said.

Actually, of the 12 offensive possessions Oklahoma had, eight of them began at either the OU 20-yard line or inside it. "Our kids had to go out there and bust their guts to win," he said. "We're not the team, talent-wise, we've been in the past and it's something to go out and beat a team that is as talented as Nebraska." Switzer didn't slight the Oklahoma defense, either. It limited Nebraska to 336 yards of total offense, 20 yards fewer than the Cornhuskers have averaged each game on the ground alone this season. "We played a lot of eight-man fronts because we're so beat-up.

iohnny Lewis, a third-team (defensive) lineman, had to come in and play well the for M.M Mies tax Lease a 15 passenger Plymouth Voyager Sportsman from fChrvsler-Plvmouthll or shared the last seven Big Kight titles and visited Miami three of the last four seasons on New Year's Day, but none of those teams could have made him any happier than he was Saturday. "In a way, I'm glad that first touchdown was called back. I'm glad we didn't beat them by 27 to whatever they had (14)," said Switzer. "It's means so much more and it hurts so much more when it's this close. "Nebraska is a fine football team and this one is sweet," he said.

According to Switzer, Sims is what enabled the Sooners to make it that way, and you'd have a difficult time finding disagreement from anyone among the 71,187 fans who showed up to watch. Sims was unstoppable, 247 yards worth of unstoppable. "Billy Sims is the greatest player in the country. I know I've said that before, but he is the greatest clutch player there is," Switzer said. "There's none better, and you'll never see another one like him but I hope you do," he said, meaning another one who also wears an Oklahoma uniform.

Sw itzer praised the Sooners' offensive line and then came right back to Sims. "They did a fantastic job," he said. "But in the open field, it gets down to Billy Sims breaking tackles and ricocheting through there. "Nebraska has the greatest (rushing) defense in the country, and, golly, he was ripping 'em up." Switzer was confused about the game's final statistics and continually referred to the "534" total yards Oklahoma generated against Nebraska. Cut mistaken total wasn't tiaggeratedbymuch.

"We very politely asked them to play more aggressive defense in the second half," Iba said laughing. "But we were more aggressive on the boards, and we forced a lot more turnovers in the second half." In the second half, NL' outre-bounded Windsor 26-10 and benefitted from 14 Lancer turnovers in the second half.

"I know we frustrated them a little bit more in the second half, because of the better defense," Smith added. "That's okay with me." The Iluskers will open the regular non-conference season next Friday against South Dakota Slate at 7:35 p.m. at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. "We'll be facing a whole different situation with them," Iba said. "They've got three guys 6-9, and a couple of good ball-handlers." "Our fast break can make up lor a lack of size," Smith said.

"All we've got to do is get the ball off like we did tonight, and the party's over." and going at a rate of speed where we could control the ball and the shots," Iba said. "The only problem is sometimes, a forward thinks he's a guard, jvhen he should be down court, instead of bringing the ball dow he said, smiling. Ten Iluskers scored in the first half and all 14 that played in the game helped Nebraska come closer than any other XU team in history to the all-time scoring mark of 116 points against Nevada-Reno in 1971. 113 points snapped the Sports Center record of 104. scored by the Iluskers against Montana State in 1977.

Nebraska guards Eric Williams and Ray Collins combined for 1.1 assists, while the Iluskers were credited with a total of 31 assists. "Williams and Collins had very good games, and I'd have to say Collins is the biggest surprise of the fall," he said. "He's a ret urner from last year, and is giving us a lot of leadership out there," he said.

FRONT END ALIGNMENT Cornhusker Quotes Cornerback Paul Letcher On the 42-yard third-quarter touchdown pass to OU tight end Forrest Valora: "We were in two-spy special and man-to-man. I read the option off the fake and came up. The tight end released and continued deep.

He was my man and 1 made the mistake. Andy Means had iust gone out three plays before. Oklahoma comes off the ball so fast, you only have a fraction of a second to react. I reacted wrong and I'm frustrated. But I can't take the play back and there's nothing I can do now." Quarterback Jeff Quinn "The whole story is Oklohoma iust played better.

They hove a lot of team speed on defense and we had a lot of pressure all day. It wasn't anything different than we'd seen. It was iust very aggressive on their part. I shouldn't hove thrown that last interception. We still hod time to move.

We had so much to gain and didn't, Cut I still think we can gain from this. We can come back and win the Cotton Bowl. That's pretty important incentive." I back Jan is Redwine "My ankle didn't bother me at the start of the game. I hurt it again when we audibled right into one of their blitzes. I took the pitchout and George Cumby tackled me and lifted me up.

"I'll heol up before the bowl game. I'm looking forward to that. I'd like to put this game out of my mind and forget about it. We lost a championship to our biggest rival in a hardhitting gome. It wos lust one of those things.

We'd like to hove it back, but we can't. "I'm sure Billy Sims would like to have some games bock at the beginning of the season. I still think Charles White (of USC) deserves the Heisman Trophy because of what he's done overall. If you're basing it on individual performance in the lost two weeks, you'd have to lean to Sims, though." Defensive tackle Rod Horn "I hope Sims gets the Heisman. He ran todav like he wanted It.

Any time you get nine yords a shot like he did today, you've got to think he deserves It. Besides, he represents the Big Eight. We lust couldn't seem to stop them, Sims Is really explosive. Going into the gome I would never have believed anybody or ony team could gain that many yards against us." Linebacker Brent Williams "We didn't ploy as well oj we can or es well as we have. Oklahoma come right at us and played a great game.

I was Impressed with Sims before and still am. He's a oreaf bock and Oklohoma Is the best team we've ployed this year. They didn't do anything we didn't expect. They lust came after us." Safety Russell Gary "We didn't ploy up to our capability. We made mistakes you can't make against a team like Oklohoma.

I hurt the lower part of my bock diving for a Watts fumble that went out-of-bounds. I hated to be out of there." Defensive end L.C, Cole "I don't know what happened, but I give Oklahoma oil the respect in the world. It's really frustrating knowing i ll never ploy them again. I'm lust glad we have the Cotton Bowl to try to make up for this." Middle guard Kerry Ueinmaster "Losing to Ok'ohomo on that flea-flicker when I wot a freshman mode me feel worse than this. It's like Barry Swlfjer sold.

Billy Sims is probably the best back in America, I played against Terry Miller and I don't wont to put him down, but overall, Billy Sims is better because he has more physical ability. We did miss tackles, though, That helped him get loose. A few times, we lust overran the play. I'm disappointed, but not mad. The Cotton Bowl is good reward and It'll be fun fun to play somebody different." 88 114 Set caster and camber Set Toe in Center Steering Wheel Sooner Sayings (ieorge Cumby, linebacker "I think Nebraska had a real good offense, but I don't think that it was as good as last year's.

"The guard around hurt us the most. We all went for the quarterback when he dropped the ball on the ground, and the guard picked it up around the outside. That was a play we iust couldn't stop." Fred Nixon, wide receiver On the clipping call that nullfied touchdown run by Billy Sims early in the game: "I didn't touch him at all. He (Nebraska defensive back Andy Means) was trying to draw the call. He kicked me on his way to the ground.

That was the only contact we had. I could see the dude (Sims) was gone and this guy falls down in front of me. I saw the flag right away, but I couldn't believe it." J.C. Watts, quarterback "That big tight end for Nebraska Is a mule, a horse. If Junior Miller doesn't go in the first round of the pro droft, going to start my own pro team and get him to ioin." On his first pass overthrown to Forest Valora in the end lone: "It was wide open, but I tried to lead him away from the safety and lust overthrew it.

I'm glad Coach (Govlen) Hall gave me a chance to redeem myself In the second half It was wide open again." Forest Valora, end "The safety has to come up and support the run, so we burned them with a play action. I thought we would try it again after we missed It the first time. I lust wanted touchdown." "Before the game, we all said it was show time. It was a chance to show everyone the OU tradition. It's been around for long time, and it will be around for a lot longer.

"We're not a real oreat team yet, but we're getting there." On Billy Sims: "We're not a one-mon club. The other day Coach Switzer was talking to Billy and said 'after you leave, there will be another one coming, Richard Turner, middle guard "Nebrosko lost four good people in their offensive line last year ond you can't lust replace people like that, Sure, we expected to domlnote their offensive line, but you always do. Just like he's thinking he will domlnote you." Paul Tabor, center "We were oble to run Inside on them, but the way they lined up, they really weren't giving us that much inside. We lust had to go out ond work for everything we got, We went out and got offer It." Basil Banks, defensive back "We felt confident In our people up front on defense. They were putting lot of pressure on them.

I felt like Nebraska was little weak at quarterback. If they hod a Phil Bradley (Missouri's quarterback), who knows what might hove happened. I wos really up for this same."
