(AP) The running of sophomore Billy Jackson dug Alabama out of a deep hole and Jeff Rutledge lobbed a 4-yard touchdown pass to Major Ogilvie to cap a methodical 99-yard drive as the top-ranked Crimson Tide overtook lOth-rated Nebraska 20-3 Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. halftime lead. Nathan scored on a 2-yard run after a third-period interception by Don McNeal at the Alabama 39 and a 3-yard run by Rutledge with 2:17 remaining sealed the outcome after Alabama linebacker Rickey Gilliland recovered a fumble at the Nebraska! Meanwhile, a gang-tackling With Alabama trailing 3-0 more than five minutes into the second period, Jackson bulled 14 yards on a third-and-8 play after Nebraska downed a punt on the Alabama 1-yard line. Jackson gained 29 yards and Tony Nathan added 36 on the 16-play drive that ate up almost seven minutes and gave the Crimson Tide a 7-3 I 1 cf "II the Cornhuskers and out-rushed them 144-54.

However, a first-period drive conked out after a 55-yard advance when Roger Chapman missed a 35-yard field goal try. What had been a well-played contest with no turnovers began to deteriorate when McNeal picked off a Tom Sorley pass at the Alabama 39 late in the third period. The scrambling of Rutledge and an 11-yard scamper by Ogilvie put the ball at the 2 and set up Nathan's touchdown, making it 13-3 when Chapman missed the conversion attempt. Alabama fumbled the ball away at the Nebraska 5 with 3:41 left but Jeff Quinn, Nebraska's second-string quarterback, bobbled the ball right back one play later and Gilliland recovered. Rutledge scored three plays later.

Billy Todd's 48-yard field goal gave Nebraska a 34 lead at 6:46 of the opening period, but Alabama's superb defense, led by tackle Marty Lyons and nose guard Curtis McGriff, limited the Cornhuskers to just two more first down during the rest of the first half. That turned the tide, swing-ing the momentum to Alabama even though Nebraska's Tom Ohrt downed Tim Smith's punt just inches from the Alabama goal line. Three plays after his 14-yard burst moved Alabama out of the shadow of its own end zone, Jackson smashed 10 more yards to the 29 and the Tide was off and rolling. Consecutive runs of 11 and 12 yards by Nathan put the ball at the Nebraska 11. After Rutledge was stopped for no gain, Lou Ikner gained seven yards before Rutledge lofted a scoring pass to Ogilvie, who got behind Nebraska sophomore cornerback Andy Means.
