Harlan's speedy Todd Hansen, who wound carrying 24 times for 97 yards, finally gave the Cyclones field position on a 16-yard run from his own 45 to the Spencer 39. A Tiger defender was also detected grabbing a face mask and the 15-yard penalty tacked on put the ball at the 24. Soon after, Harlan completed its first pass of the game, a 13-yarder from Scott Arkfeld to Todd Gross on fourth-and-4 from the 18 that appeared to doom the Tigers. A bullet was dodged, though, after a magnificent goal line stand. Hansen pierced from the five to the one, but Hansen once and Cohen Johnson twice were stopped for no gain.

Spencer took over with 7:08 left in the game, but on second-and-eight from the three, quarterback Brad Simington and Ricketts missed connections on a handoff and Harlan pounced on the football at the one. Hansen required just one dart at the defense to hit a bullseye for the touchdown and a 13-10 lead with 5:17 remaining in the game. A bad snap from center canceled Harlan's extra point attempt. The Cyclones then added an insurance touchdown when Bladt reached into his bag of exotics. Spencer ran three plays and punted from its own 11 on the ensuing possession, but the 26-yarder gave the ball to Harlan at the Tiger 37.

Again, the clawing Spencer defense rose to the occasion, stopping the Cyclones on fourth-and-11 from the 24. At that point, Harlan used what it calls the "fade" pattern. Quarterback Arkfeld licked his finger, stuck it into the wind to gauge the drift and then lofted an high pop fly pass that Curt Schulte somehow caught in the corner of the end zone. That touchdown, with 1:15 left, sealed the verdict. Harlan scored first in the game, marching 62 yards in 12 plays to tally first at 2:34 of the first quarter on Hansen's 12-yard run.

Spencer countered with a massive 18-play, 60-yard drive that consumed nearly eight minutes. Ricketts, hampered by the gusting winds, was unable to complete any of his 10 passes, but he plunged a yard for the Tiger TD with 6:51 left in the first half. Harlan, with the wind its face, had the ball for just five plays, including a punt and aborted field goal attempt as time ran out, in the second quarter. Chad Rose, who also recovered a fumble in a two-way stint, was the leading Spencer rusher with 47 yards.

Well, I assigned nine guys to him if you want to call that keying on him." The game was packed with ebbs and flows and Harlan cinched up its defensive belt in the second half, permitting just one first down.

Until Harlan recovered a Spencer fumble at the Tiger 1-yard line with 5:30 remaining in the game, a 32-yard field goal by the Tigers' Judd Sather with the wind at his back at the 2:13 mark of the third stanza loomed as the difference-maker. Coach Gary Swenson's Tigers held sway at 10-7 when the disastrous fumble occurred.

Sanders is the brother of running back Barry Sanders of Oklahoma State.

Hawkeye quarterback Chuck Hartlieb directed an eight-play drive that ended with Bell scoring on a six-yard drive off left tackle, and Jeff Skillett converted the point-after kick. Bell, a 6-foot-3, 256-pound redshirt freshman, scored again from three yards out with 13:01 left in the third quarter to give Iowa a 28-3 lead.

Preceding Bell's two scores were Stewart's five-yard touchdown run 36 seconds before halftime set up by a Keaton Smiley's interception of a Bradshaw pass and a 31-yard field goal by Ira Adler with 8:01 left in the third quarter for Northwestern 's first points. Another Northwestern turnover Bradshaw's fumble on his own 23 led to Hartlieb's three-yard touchdown pass to tight end Marv Cook that made the score 35-3. Northwestern scored a touchdown on its final possession when reserve quarterback Tim O'Brien hit Richard Buchanan with a 13-yard scoring toss with 1:38 to play.

That gave the Cornhuskers the ball at their own 36, and 11 plays later Taylor fired a six-yard touchdown pass to -Todd Millikan with seven seconds left in the first quarter. Nebraska then reeled off touchdown drives of 78, 67 and 50 yards in the second quarter to put the game out of reach early. Clark cap-ped the first march with an 18-yard touchdown run at the 8:58 mark and LTaylor followed with scoring runs of 28 and 23 yards. i Then, with only 41 seconds left in the half, Nebraska got the ball at its own 40 after an Iowa State punt and Taylor completed passes of 28 yards to Nate Turner and 20 yards to Morgan Gregory to set up Gregg Barrios' 30-yard field goal on the final play of the period. Taylor, using his speed to turn up-field on option runs time after time, sailed 11 yards for a touchdown to cap Nebraska's drive opening the second half.

He also completed five of nine passes for 71 yards and ran his career total yardage to 4,767, which moved him past Turner Gill into fourth place on Nebraska's all-time list. Just before Barrios' field goal, Taylor had thrown the ball away to stop the clock with four seconds left so the field goal unit could get onto the field. The Cornhuskers also had called three timeouts late in the first half while Iowa State had the ball so they'd have more time to try to score. Upset by those tactics, the Iowa State fans booed the Nebraska players as they walked to the dressing room at halftime. Iowa State averted a shutout when Jeff Shudak kicked a 42-yard field goal with 2:22 left in the third quarter.

Nebraska's No. 2 quarterback, Gerry Gdowski, scored on a one-yard sneak in the first minute of the fourth quarter to complete a seven-play, 80-yard drive and make it 45-3. Iowa State's Paul Thibodeaux ran 67 yards for a touchdown with 11:50 left, the longest run against Nebraska this season. Reserve running back Leodis Flowers scored Nebraska's final touchdown on a three-yard run with 5:09 remaining. Iowa State's Ross caught a 35-yard touchdown pass from Derek DeGennaro with one second left.

Millikan's touchdown reception, set up by Clark's 23-yard scamper to the Iowa State 11, was his seventh of the season and 14th of his career. That tied the school's season record for tight ends set by Junior Miller in 1979, and pulled him into a tie with Bobby Thomas for second place on Nebraska's career list for touchdown receptions. Taylor has now accounted for 61 touchdowns in his career 31 running and 30 passing. He carried 9 times for 101 yards in the first half Saturday, while Clark had 122 yards in 16 first-half carries.
