Only seconds before the end, a sun-baked throng estimated at 48,500 was standing, yelling throats raw to do or don't, after Nebraska's Randy Lessman proved he is a better infielder than a high jumper.

Bad Day for Thomas Lessman, a junior from Sioux City, is the Husker punter and, on this day, he was kept busy tracking down the wide-ranging center snaps of senior Tom Thomas, who was having a bad day. Twice earlier in the game, Lessman had taken snaps on Buckeyes breeze Badgers fall, 56-0, as Johnson scores two more touchdowns the bounce and that doesn't do much for a fellow's con fidence. Now, with 2 minutes left and scrimmage the Husk er 40, Randy stood ready for another snap. Instead of a dribbler he got a boomer, coming high over head. "I jumped up and tried to catch it but it went off my hands.

It's probably a good thing I didn't catch it. They had a 10 man rush on and probably would have blocked and maybe got a said Lessman. Jones Makes Big Hit Instead, Cowpoke end Bobbv Douglas covered on the 23 and the home team was in bust ness smacking, smack ing, smacking until it was third and one on the Husker two. Miller took a pitch, started around left end and that seemed a wise call. The swift sophomore from Colorado Springs, had pounded for 93 yards in 19 tries.

Quick as a cat, cornerback Chuck Jones swooped in and made a big, big hit.

Senior safely Tim Fox provided the most electrifying play of the day, when he ran back a punt 75 yards for his first collegiate touchdown. Hayes, in his twenty-fifth season at Ohio State, gained his 207th career victory and moved into fourth place on the all-time career victory list behind Amos Alonzo Stagg, Pop Warner and Bear Bryant. the pitch, said Jones, who caused a three-yard loss. And with time rapidly expiring, Miller was hauled down on the five by Jerry Wied and Tony Samuel. Lin Sidelined Nebraska took over and ran out the final seconds, thereby avoiding super drama.

Place-kicker Abbie Daigle was out with an injury and the cowpokes probably would have had to go for two on any touchdown. "I'm awfully pleased that we won. 'You have to give great credit to Oklahoma State," said Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne. "I thought we had them put away at half- time, but Bobby Thomas' fumbled punt changed that." The Huskers led, 21-7, at in termission and did seem in despite several key losses. Terry Luck started at quarterback, got a finger in his eye and never returned However, Ferragamo eased that situation.

Craig Bruises Knee Bob Martin, regular defen sive end, nas fought a leg problem all week. He started but had to depart early. And after taking the opening kick- off 45 yards and almost break ing it, Curtis Craig was an early casualty. 'I really bruised my right knee," said the sophomore from Davenport, who played at both wingback and I-back He's scheduled for more duty at I-back and is expected to be well for Saturday. Nebraska's first touchdown came after Martin had recov ered a fumble on the Cowpoke 16.

It took four plays, one a 13-yard run by Thomas. After penally, Ferragamo threw an eight-yard scoring pass to John O'Leary. First Road Venture This was the first road ven ture for the Huskers, who have played it cool and cautious at home. They got fancy this time, after Ferra a 43-yard pass to Thomas and a fancy 19-yard 'bootleg" run by Vince. "We were in a special for mation.

I turned and faked the counter sweep, they all cot fooled and I had clear sailing to the four," he said. He scored on a sweep. The Cowpokes responded by moving 48 yards in eight plays and Burk had started looking mighty good. Charlie Weatherbie and Jimmy Derrick, rated one-two at quarter back, both were out with in juries. On the basis of Saturday's performance, getting back might not be so easy.

There was three-yard loss on play and Sooners went on to 25-3 victory. Stioners beat Kansas State for 70 more. The Cowpokes gained 319 yards, about twice what the Black Shirts normally have given up. Miller used his sprinter's speed to race five yards for his first touchdown to make it 14-7 but Nebraska used Monte Anthony (117 in 19 carries) and Tony Davis extensively in a long march.

It covered 80 yards in 13 plays, the longest a 22-yard pass to end Dave Shamblin on the one. Ferragamo scored again on a sneak and it seemed the Huskers had the power whenever needed. Thomas Fumbles That proved an illusion. Early in the second half, Thomas called for a fair catch, then fumbled a punt and Pete Coppola recovered for the home team on the 14. Miller soon ran four yards to score again.

A fumble recovered by end. Ray Phillips on the Cowpoke 27 soon returned the honor, with Ferragamo throwing a 10-yard scoring pass to Brad Jenkins to make it 26-14. Woops! It was far from over. In two ground-gulping plays, starting from its own 25, Oklahoma State got a 52-yard run from Burk and a 23-yard scoring dipsy-do from Miller to make it 28-20. Cosily Interference Lessman's heroics were go- ing on felt like a shortstop most of the and a huge play came early in the.

final quarter, after Miller seemed to have scored with 'v touchdown pass to Ricky. Taylor. "II was the first pass I've thrown in college," said the halfback. Taylor and Husker Jim Burrow staged an aerial dogfight for possession and Taylor came down with the hall in he end zone. However, the Cowpoke was called for offen-' sive interference and it cost the ball.

1 All hough it was a first-down play, the fact that it happened in the end zone makes it an unusual call. The Huskers could have taken a 15-yard penally or a touchback. They took the touchback and Burrow was credited with an interceplion, although he didn't come up with the ball. "That offensive interference might have taken the wind out of us," said Cowpoke Coach Jim Stanley. "Still, I though we'd score at the pnd.

I didn't think they could stop us, but: they did. "You can't take that away from Nebraska." Frankly, neither side had to apologize.

-Unbeaten Nebraska won, 28 20, here Saturday in a Big Eight football game that did nothing to dispel the impression that Oklahoma State al ways plays the Huskers tough. Vince Ferragamo, the quarterback who didn't start, ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more as the llusker team ranked No. 4 nationally made it 6-0 for the season, despite the defense being leaky.
