Lincoln Journal Star from Lincoln, Nebraska • 9

Week Suddenly As Year Eyes Perfect jJiwnml great senior linebacker hat been hobbled for two weeks. And another big threat, swift Ben Hart, will not be at full speed. Nebraska, has its problems, too, losing improved junior defensive back Kaye Carstens who has started all nine games. But everyone else will play and Lang-ston Coleman could be at full speed for the first time in four games, the defensive whiz showing some of his old form at times in practice. That's about it, a 9-0 team needing one more and a 3-5 team needing one like this to heal a lot of wounds.

It will be something to see as unbeaten opportunities come seldom. What does Devaney think of all of this? "It would be nice," he says, perhaps remembering back to that rare day in Alpena when he went all the way. But the folks in Hamtramck and Norman and everywhere else will have an opportunity to see it, live and in color as TV folks say, on national television. It'll all start at 12:45 p.m., about the same time a lot of folks are reaching for a big dumstick. But Devaney and some 53,000 fans in Memorial Stadium will ask for the wish bone, a wish that the magic which has survived three close calls in Colorado Springs, Columbia and Stillwater can survive again.

They'll be hoping, too, that there can be no repeat of circumstances such as there were a year ago when an Oklahoma team, which had played below expectations most of the season, pulled themselves together for that one mighty effort. Certainly, the odds are against it. Carl McAdams, the Sooners' best football player, may not play. The You know that Oklahoma is the final stumbling block to a perfect season, just as you know that if the Corn-huskers can pull it off it will be the first time a Nebraska team has gone clean in 50 years. You even know about Jumbo Stiehm and Guy Chamberlain and the great names out of the past who engineered that football dream of an unbeaten season in 1915.

There can't be many who don't already know that the guy they introduce at Extra Point. Club each week as "the finest football coach in the country" has never had a perfect season in collegiate coaching. He has had one, however, but that goes back to 1946 at Alpena, High School. You remember, too, that the only other time NU coach Bob Devaney barged into game 10 with a shot at the whole bundle was one year ago when this same By CURT MOSHER It takes some getting used to, but when you think about it a little there can be, no doubt. Memorial Stadium Thursday will be the site of the biggest game that's ever been played there.

And yet the simple truth is there isn't much to say about it. It's all been said a lot of ways and a lot of times. It can all get said when it starts the day after the previous season ends as it did in Dallas last Jan. 2. That's when Nebraska fans began looking ahead, looking, perhaps hoping would be more accurate, towards a situation like this.

The coaches and players tried not to. "One at a time," they said. "This week, not next," they said. And perhaps that's why they got this far. The one at a time is ended now.

Thursday's the day. As noted in the beginning, it's all been said. i wrx) i A fff i Jt I I i I V. V. A- if A i 'r! 1 1 VV A Coach Gets Attached evaney Loses 14 Seniors some coaches may use the I and some the and some others something else, they all agree on the importance of this association.

There's still a bowl game to be played for Nebraska, but for the regular season there will be 14 seniors walking the graduation plank. Few senior football players have enjoyed so much over-all team success in their careers and, for a few of them, tremendous individual laurels.

Scoring PAGE 9 LINCOLN, NEBRASKA WEDNESDAY, NOV. 24, Oklahoma team disiied out a 17-7 licking down in Norman. Going back to high school agan, Devaney had one other chance at one other unbeaten team. But in that one, too, disaster struck on the road, this one in Ham-tramck, Mich. So for the first time there is an opportunity to take that final step on friendly soil, here in Lincoln and not Hamtramck or Norman or someplace else.

He was giving up what he considered the best part of football coaching, his association with the players. He said so, noting the attachment a coach and player develop during their three years together as part of a unit. When a coach retires something like this is emphasized, but it actually happens to a degree to every coach every year.
