"I'm speechless," Fry said. "I've got the most beautiful I.

Phillips scored a first half touchdown and broke loose on a crucial long run late in the game to secure the victory. The 6-1, 200-pound junior finished with 158 yards in 27 carries. While Phillips helped the Iowa offense control the ball, the Hawkeye defense limited the potent Illini and quarterback Tony Eason to one touchdown, that coming on a long pass early in the game. "They had a bomb for a touchdown and two field goals," Fry said.

"If that's not a good defense against the best quarterback in the country, I dont know what is." Phillips scored on a 2-yard run in the first quarter and Chuck Long flipped an 8-yard touchdown pass to Ronnie Harmon to put Iowa ahead 14-10 entering the fourth period. Then, after Illinois' Mike Bass kicked a 45-yard field goal, Phillips scampered 30 yards to give Iowa a first down when the Hawkeyes faced a third-and-29 situation In other Big Ten games, Michigan blasted Minnesota 52-14, Michigan State downed Indiana 22-14, Wisconsin routed Northwestern 54-20 and Ohio State defeated Pur-duej8-6. "Wasn't that fantastic?" Fry asked. "How bout them Hawks! I couldn't care if we didnt win a game for the rest of the season. Wasn't that fantastic? "I'm not belittling Ilinois, but we've been reading about them going to the Rose Bowl all year," he said.

Craig ran for 15 yards the play on which he washurt -and Rozier added a 9-yard run and a 25-yard scamper or the TD. On the very next play after the ensuing kickoff cornerback Allen Lyday made the hit and recovered the fumble which led to Smith's one-yard touchdown run four plays later.

That made it 31-0. i Rozier scored again before the third quarter was over this time from 27 yards out after Williams made circus catch of a 33-yard Gill pass. That score was Mowed by Smith's punt return TD, and a closing touchdown by Nate Mason, the third quarterback Osborne used, on a one-yard keeper with 2:59 remaining. Next up for Nebraska is Oklahoma State in Lincoln. The Cowboys were a 30-20 winner over Missouri Saturday.

"Oklahoma State always plays us tough," Osborne observed. They have a great running back (Ernest Anderson) and I'm sure the win over Missouri will give them a lot of momentum" McBride agreed. "Anytime a team comes in with a back who is in Mike Rozier's class, you have to be concerned. Well need another good defensive effort in order to win that one." Florida tips Auburn, 19-17 of the second half and then Immediately got another after a fumble recovery (the two TDs came in a span of just a minute and a half), we had things pretty much under control. sure that Kansas was hurt by not having Seurer (regular quarterback Frank Seurer, who was sidelined with a dislocated shoulder) and Bell (top running back Kerwin Bell)," Osborne added.

"But we prepared well and practiced well all week. And it showed." Although Nebraska quarterback Turner GilL who suffered a mild brain concussion against Missouri last week, played without problems until halfway through the third quarter (with the score 31-0), the uskers didnt come out of the game without compounding their injury problems. Craig injured again Roger Craig, who bad his best day of the season with 82 yards on 14 carries, resprained his ankle early in the third quarter and will likely miss next Saturday's home game against Oklahoma State. Mike Rozier, who didnt start because of a nagging hip pointer, managed a game-leading 123 yards on 16 carries. But he had to retire after his second touchdown run with six minutes left in the third quarter when he suffered a cut hand when tackled six yards-deep in the end zone after crossing the goal line.

And wingback Irving Fryar, who reinjured a bad shoulder, didn't touch the ball after the first play of the second quarter. "Turner had a good game," Osborne said of his quarterback, who was l(kM5 in the passing department for 115 yards and one touchdown without an interception. "After playing less than a half last week, I wanted him to play enough to get the feel of things again. Kansas came with a blitz of some kind 75-80 percent of the time on passing downs, but he handled it well "In fact, all of the quarterbacks played well," Osborne added. "But of course, when the offensive line is in control it makes it a little easier." SEC Standings Conf.

"That's the most Important statistic of them an as far as Fm concerned," McBride added, "And Kansas didnt score today. That helps build confidence. Our kids are learning something new each week. We're going to have a good defense before the season is over." McBride said his unit got some added help for Saturday's game from Kansas quarterback Mike Bonn.

"He said on TV Friday night that be didnt think we had a very good defense," McBride said. "A lot of our kids saw that And I just happened' to mention it at a defensive team meeting. That didnt burt our effort any." For the sixth time in eight games, Nebras scathe first time it had the ban, driving 80 yards in 15 plays.
