The reception made Rodgers the top all-time Nebraska urrf Ny State is now on a par with Colorado, even though they lost to them earlier in the season. I have a lot of respect for what Iowa State has done to date." When he said that, Devaney, who was dressed in red pants, a red shirt and a red baseball cap, hadn't yet heard the final score (43-12) of the Cyclone game at Oklahoma. Although Nebraska's players awarded Saturday's game ball to Assistant Coach Carl Selmer and his offensive line, Devaney said, "We didn't move the ball that well. "We gained just 180 yards on the ground and 144 with our passes. That's not a tremendous statistical day for us.

We scored 31 points (lowest of the season), and I wouldn't exactly call that an explosion." Proves Point But Devaney, the nation's winningest coach, was happy to finally whip a good team. "Everyone, including us, has been saying that until now wa hadn't gone up against a real tough team," Devaney commented. "That's not the case now. "But that doesn't indicate we should give up practicing yet." The game was played in a variety of weather most of it bad. It rained hard at the start, the sun came out in the last half and it was cold and windy.

"Those doctors can say what they want about artificial turf causing injuries," Devaney said. "But without it today, we would have had two teams on a skating rink." The AstroTurf was so soggy early that someone wondered if the coin used in the pre-game flip would be lost in a puddle of water. The only streak that didn't continue for Nebraska was one involving attendance. The game was sold out the Huskers have had 23 of those in succession but not as many spectators showed up as usually do. The crowd was 66,776.

Down the drain went a string of nine straight home games with attendance over 67,000.
