King, who became the first black ever to score a touchdown for Georgia, snapped a 14-14 halftime tie midway in the third period, bulling over from one yard out. King capped the clinching score with a 32-yard reception from quarterback Jimmy Ray to the one-yard line. Ray went over two plays later for a 28-14 lead. Fullback Charlie Young scored on an 11-yard run for the Wolfpack, now 1-2-1, with 4 minutes remaining, and a o-point conversion pass from quarterback Bruce Shaw to Stan Fritts made it 28-22.

The Spartans then marched 80 yarts in nine plays for their only touchdown. Paul Orndorff scored on a 15-yard run up the middle. Tampa also had an apparent 34-yard touchdown pass from Buddy Carter to Orndorff called back by an offside penalty with minutes left.

A punt return in the Orange Bowl against Alabama New Year's Day doesn't count. One Short Rodgcrs is one shy of the Big Eight punt return mark held by Jack Mitchell of Oklahoma, and one from the kick return record set by Cliff Branch of Colorado.

And finally, scoring. His two touchdowns against the no-longer so Golden Gophers give him 35 in his career, breaking the mark of 34 set by Jeff Kinney over the last three years. He now has 210 points, one short of Bobby Reynolds' Nebraska record. The third Nebraska victory wasn't all offense. Far from it.

You can't ignore that phase of any game in which Rich Glover, the 233-pound middle guard, is playing. As expected, Glover led Husker defenders with five unassisted and seven assisted tackles. It was a good day for running back Gary Dixon, too. He got three touchdowns, all on short totes. Week Off And now, what's directly ahead for one of the nation's best college football teams? Well, an idle Saturday before the team plunges into the Big Eight race on this same field against Missouri.

Devaney will have the boys gather for chiych this morning, then meet again to plan how the week can best be used. As the President would say, let me make one thing clear: Nebraska hasn't given up on the idea of a third straight national championship. one yard. He finished with 185 yards in 27 carries. The Tigers scored three times within six minutes of the first quarter and tallied their most points for a quarter in four years.

(AP) John Winesberry ran for 136 yards and three touchdowns and Mike Boryla threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns Saturday as unbeaten Stanford rolle-d to a 41-35 victory over previously unbeaten West Virginia.

The nineteenth-rated defending Rose Bowl champions led three times by 20 points, but had to hold off the Mountaineers at the finish. Bernie Galiffa threw an eight- yard touchdown pass to Brian Chiles with about two minutes to play and the Mountaineers almost recovered the ensuing onside kickoff. Winesberry went nine yards for the first score and had a pair of one-yard touchdown runs in the second half. He also caught four passes for 50 yards. Boryla threw touchdown pass es to Erick Cross, for 31 yards in the first period and three yards in the third quarter.

The big play was Humm's pass to Rodgers for 23 yards to the 13. Rich Sanger kicked the extra point. Time 11 minutes 44 seconds left in quarter. SECOND QUARTER Nebraska 14, Minnesota 0 Dixon scored again in the early minutes of the second period, but once more Rodgcrs was the big gun.

Minnesota had used up much of the first period with a long march which fell short on a fourth-down try on the 24. Ne braska then scored in eight plavs, Dixon going two yars. Rodgers made a great leap- ing catch of a Humm pass or the 50 and ran to the Gopher 32 for a 28-yard gain. Full- back Bill Olds contributed a I 16-yard sprint to the 11. Sanger kicked the extra point.

Time 12:48 left. Nebraska 21, Minnesota 0 The Huskers didn't need any help. But they got it from two penalty calls that helped bring the third score, which came when Humm found sec ond-string back Dave Goeller open in the end zone for six yards. One call was for pass interference on a throw to Rodgers, the other for piling on after the fleet wingback had taken an eight-yard toss. The ball wound up on the 13 after the penalty.

It wasn't any spur-of-the- moment notion, either. "I had been thinking about it for a couple of weeks," said the grinning wingback in the dressing room. "I hadn't remembered anyone ever doing it, and I wanted to be first. "So when I looked back and saw onlv friends around me, I did Rodgcrs said it wasn't a gesture of disdain for the Big Ten visitors he called "basically a good team." 'Different Team' "We just didn't give them a chance we kept the ball so they couldn't score.

"We re piay-' ing together now and we know what we have to do." The Gophers, under new Coach Cal Stoll, mounted only one sustained drive and ran back a kick into Nebraska territory.

That's all they could accomplish as Bob Devaney made certain he would bow out of coaching without ever having lost to a Big Ten team. It was the eighth straight for Nebraska over Minnesota, and the eleventh victory for Deva- ney over the Big Ten. He has -said he will become a full-time athletic director next year. A big sign decorated the north stands here Saturday with one terse admonition: Mint Wins, Riva Ridge Sags to 4th WW YORK. N.Y.

The Minnesota game, in which Devaney used 68 players, won't hurt the Nebraska drive toward the top. The Huskers.

already rated seventh, played flawlessly Saturday but the game really belongs to Rodgers, who quickly affirms he has pro ambitions though weighing only 173 pounds. Nebraska netted 30 first downs to Minnesota seven, piled up 542 yards and didn't lose the ball on a fumble though having two of 23 passes intercepted. Devaney began sending in the subs late in the third quarter and even they came up with a touchdown in the last period. Last week Devaney, who beat Army by 77-7, had complained that the limit of 50 players on the trip had made it impossible for him not to run up such a score. Rodgers 'The Best' Minnesota's Stoll seemed to sum it up after the game when he said: "Johnny Rodgers is the best running back I've ever seen as long as I've been alive, and that seems like 150 years.

When you do something to stop him, you open up something else for their offense And guard Paul Glanton added: "With a back like Rodgers, their linemen just screened us out, and by the time we saw him again he was gone." The Rodgers story is somewhat staggering. First off, there's pass receiving. He caught seven for 127 yards Saturday, giving him 2,070 for his career, a Nebraska and Big Eight record. Next, kick returns. His 64- Riva Ridge faded to fourth.
