Nebraska and Colorado kept the television fan in suspense long enough for the sponsors to sell their products before the Huskers' big play Big Red Machine exploded in the fourth quarter to post a 29-13 victory here Saturday afternoon. In addition to the regional telecast that was beamed to better than 70 of the country, 50,881 fans, including an estimated 15,000 Nebraskans, were here in person to watch the Huskers push their season record to 7-0-1, their Big -Eight mark to 4-0 and their unbeaten string over two seasons to 15 straight The crowd here was the largest ever to watch a sports event this state, topping the 50,705 who have watched two different Denver Broncos games earlier this fall.

And what they saw was a big play Nebraska machine refuse to buckle under heavy pressure from Colorado, which battled back from a 12-0 first quarter deficit and had a chance to tie the contest in the fourth quarter before the Nebraska explosion came to put the game out of reach. The big plays started early for the Huskers with two Van How They Scored Tim) NU CU Left First Quarter 6 0 12 0 Ingles, 35 pass from Brownson 11:17 Ingles, 39 pass from Brownson 2:53 Second Quarter Branch, 7 run 2:11 Haney, placement Third Quarter 15 7 Rogers, 46 field goal 2:17 Fourth Quarter Bratten, 5 run 11:23 Brownson, 1 plungn 9:27 Rogers, placement Kinney, 7 run 5:31 Rogers, placement 15 21 23 28 29 need two scores to overcome that. But the only scoring yet to come was provided by Nebraska again with tackle Larry jacobson recovering a Branch fumble to give NU the ball at the Colorado 40. A 22-yard Brownson to Ingles pass was the big play of the seven-play march that was capped by Kinney's seven-yard touchdown burst over the left side with 5:34 remaining and Rogers made it 29-13. The effect of the big play punch in the Nebraska win is SEC.

Huskers out front by 15-7. This proved to be a big play when Colorado scored again with 11:22 left in the game and thus had to go for the two-point conversion in an attempt to tie. But another big play, this one by defensive back Joe Blahak as Brownson to Guy Ingles bombs staking coach Bob Devaney's club to 12-0 lead with the game only slightly more than 12 minutes old. Another big play for the Huskers at the time was a 46-yard field goal by Paul Rogers in the third quarter that put the NOV. 1, 1970 Jeff Kinney returned the ensuing kickoff from his own two-yard line to the Colorado 21 before being hauled down.

This set up a Husker insurance touchdown with Orduna taking four plays to move the ball to the one and Brownson then sneaking it over I Have Eyes on Ames Devaney, Team Admit to Bowl Fever I a "We're not accustomed to having people running at us like that," winced Devaney. "They executed the option very well, and their pitchouts hurt us more than we had anticipated. Jimmy Bratten did a good job at quarterback for them, and he had some pretty good backs to pitch the ball to." Devaney also lauded the Colorado defense. "They just lined up and played us well man-to-man," he said. "After the game I told Eddie Crowder' that I thought they had been a great football team," Devaney said.

The Cornhusker coach praised the staying power of his "We could have tossed in the towel a couple of times, but didn't," he said. "We made a fine defensive effort in stopping that two-point conversion attempt and then came back and jammed the ball down Colorado's throat two times in a row. I'm very proud of that," he stated. is really tough to try to get back in the game when you make errors like we did today," observed Crowder. "Nebraska is a superb football team, but it's unfair to compare teams.

I thought Missouri was a great football team last week and they got beat today. The league is so tough that every team in it is a fine team." By DON FORSYTHE Boulder, Colo. Bob Devaney hasn't been swept up by bowl fever, but he's at least talking about it. "Where's our next bowl game?" he asked his jubilant Cornhuskers late Saturday afternoon. "Ames, Iowa!" the squad chorused.

Yes, they're still playing them one at a time just as Devaney has emphasized since the season opened. Like everybody figured, Colorado was primed for an upset; A Denver writer asked Devaney if he thought the Buffaloes had been "up" for the game. "I hope they were up for it," he replied. "I'd hate to think that they would be that tough if they weren't. They played us as well as anbody since Southern California." Colorado coach Eddie Crowder thought his Buffs might have come to life slowly.

"I don't think we were ever We might have been a little bland, let's say, at the start, but if you get down you get killed. We just came to life slowly," he said. When the Buffs did come to life, they did it with a devastating ground game which rocked the Cornhuskers for 297 yards.

You have to keep your block on Orvis the whole play or he'll get away from you." Newton and the other Cornhuskers agreed that while the game was very physical there was more between-plays oratory than in any other game this season. "We exchanged words quite a bit," admitted Newton. "Any other team playing there would have probably had one or more fights," claimed middle guard Ed Periard. "I think that we were better disciplined. You can't make yourself any bigger by getting into a fight." The Buffs engaged in what some of the Cornhuskers thought might have been a little extra-curricular hitting.

"It really makes you know you're playing football," said split end Guy Ingles, who took a punishing blow from Orvis away from the action late in the game. Ingles supplied the early fireworks for the Cornhuskers with 35 and 39-yard touchdown receptions from Van Brownson. Guy's first came over left Newton: By DOX FORSYTHE the most notable battles in the Nebraska-Colorado football war Saturday matched Nebraska's Bob Newton and Colorado's Herb Orvis, two of the Big Eight's leading all-America candidates. "No doubt about it, he's the toughest I've faced," claimed Newton. "This is the toughest game I've been in." Most folks figured the Cornhusker offensive tackle gave a good account of himself.

Florom Eyeing By RANDY YORK The hottest bowler in Lincoln still needs $125 in cold cash to compete in the Lincoln Open PBA tournament next weekend at Hollywood Bowl. 7 -vfe Rodger Florom who within the last week and a half has rolled series of 742, 722 and 699 didn't qualify in any of the five Lincoln rolloffs for a pro spot in the tourney. But the 26-year-old Florom hopes to be awarded one of the "remaining three or four positions usually given in the last week." The honor, however, carries a $125 price tag.

Florom should qualify for one of those berths on the strength of his performance with a newly-drilled ball. "Jim Dill (Hollywood Bowl proprietor) re-drilled a ball for me about a week before I hit the 742," Florom said, "and since then I've bowled the best of my life. "I think it's been more psychological than anything," he added. "It was just a matter of getting some confidence and trying to keep it." Florom hasn't emerged from nowhere in the last two weeks. He's had at least some measure of consistency in the last seven weeks, owning a 207 average for 21 games in the Hamm's Singles Classic League, which pits 12 of Lincoln's top "bowlers in match-play situations.

"That league has been a real advantage because it's so competitive," Florom said. "It gives you a chance to bowl fast, and once you're in a groove, you can be tough." "Max Jensen has been able to do that better than "anyone else," Florom pointed "out. "He's just one heckuva bowler, and is getting-tougher to beat each week." Jensen has averaged 223 in his 21 Hamm's Classic games. But Florom, who moved to Lincoln from Holdrege two years ago, has put it together in the Hamm's league too, averaging more than 240 in his last six games. "I can't explain Florom said.

"I'm not practicing outside of the league. I bowl in five leagues and two sweepers a week. That's about all." Hollywood this year will show a different lane condition, according to Florom. "It's really changed," he notes. "Last year, they favored the inside bowlers.

You had to go deep, about the fourth arrow, to get the hits. This year, it favors the outside bowlers. It's better for me because I can hit from the first arrow." The pro-am is set for Friday with the $32,000 pro portion running Saturday through Monday.

Freeman White set Mismvwiwm, Cornhusker linebacker Jerry Murtaugh wound up with 15 tackles and a pass interception, but wasn't especially happy with his effort. "It was my worst game for tackling," he said. "I missed about eight tackles. I was arm tackling all day long. One of them came inside their 10 and that started their long drive off." "Colorado is a good team, but we've played better," he added.

Murtaugh wasn't anxious to talk about his attempted lateral after his pass interception late in the first half. "I heard Jim Anderson screaming for the ball, but when I looked he was about 15 yards away. I just shouldn't have thrown it," he said. Colorado recovered, but couldn't do anything on; 1 one final play from the Nebraska 27. The other Cornhusker co-.

"I gave him an out move and got a step right on the money," said Guy. The second scoring strike 'came much easier. "I went down 8-10 yards and took two steps out.

That sort of froze him (Cullar. Bryant) and then, he fell down when I turned up-field," said Ingles. By the time the game was over Ingles had five catches for 112 yards and a new season Murtaugh Nears 100 Tackles Boulder, Colo.
