"You can't win," Shofner added, "if you can't run the ball." No one was unkind day. As it was, the Cornhuskers' regulars, irregulars and, some substitutes who may not play again this season took turns against Texas Christian's fragile defense in a 56-14 frol-iC -Still, it was TCU that generated the most plays on a showery afternoon before 75,931 in Memorial Stadium. 12th Loss In Row Two 70-yard runs, one on a pass burglary, were the only shocks for the red-garbed witnesses of the Horned Frogs' twelfth straight defeat.

Otherwise, it was a series of touchdown parades by undefeated Nebraska that sent eight different men into the end zone. The only Husker who scored twice was Chuck Malito, No. 2 split end, who snared a seven-yard pass from starting quarterback Terry Luck and a 30-yarder from reserve Vince Ferragamo. Luck also had payoff tosses of five and eight yards. 194 Passing Yards Terry and Ferragamo pitched an advantage of 194 enough to say you can't even come close.

98-Yard Drive Ferragamo, the handsome transfer from California, connected for the other Horned Frog touchdown in the fourth quarter. Got Fooled "Their safety fooled me," Vince admitted. "Our primary receiver was an end hooking into the middle. "The safety headed for him, so I switched to our 'out' man near the sideline. It turned out the safety faked me out." Darryl Lowe's switch was quicker than Ferragamo's.

He feinted toward the middle, spun back toward the sideline. When Lowe flicked in front of Tom Heiser for his theft, he had an unimpeded 70-yard flight to the goal. Intercept Luck The other 70-yard run came on Dennis McGehee's banditry against Luck. But McGehee's luck ran out when he was tackled at the Nebraska six. Three times TCU tried to run against a defense that When Cooks fourth-down pass lopped through the arms of Bobby Cowan in the end zone, the Huskers faced a yard trip for a 42-7 margin.

Actually, they had to travel 103 yards because of a penal second quarter for a 28-7 lead. Mike Fultz spread his 27S pounds over Elzner's bobble. Reserve Monte Anthony rushed two yards to the eight, then Brad Jenkins leaped for Luck'i peg into the end zone. On the first play after the kickoff, Elzner's arm was jostled by the Husker pass rush. Cletus Pillen was in the clear for a steal and a 22-yard return to the five.

Regular wingback Curtis Craig of Davenport, was unchallenged on a scoring swing. Osborne used 11 rushers in Nebraska's domination, so his three leaders were all in the range of 51-59 yards. Heiser's 33-yard touchdown run made him the leader with 59 in four carries. O'Leary Gets S3 John O'Leary topped the starters with 53 and sub Anthony had 54. An unscheduled reserve, fullback Tony Davis, ran for 51.

Davis was supposed to start. He couldn't because, moments before the kickoff, he couldn't find his chin strap t-required equipment. It was the second easy victory for the Huskers, 35-0 conquerors of Indiana the previous week, after an opening 10-7 struggle past Louisiana State. "No, I don't think winning tv.

Slager Hurt Rick Slager, the tennis-playing senior who had led Dan Devine's Irish to victories over Boston College and Purdue last week, was zinged early in the game, when the previously unbeaten Wildcats led, 7-0.

When Slager came out and Montana went in, the enthusiastic students in a sellout crowd of 59,075 started chanting: "Let's go, Joe. Let's go, Joe."

"That reverse was beautifully executed and was one of three big plays that forced us to leave our game plan," said Pont. "Notre Dame's front four is very, very good." Oh, it is! Fry and Ross Browner, the ends, are both sophomores. Steve Niehaus at one tackle is a veteran star and Jeff Weston, the other tackle, is also a sophomore. The attack is familiar to all who watched Devine's teams at Missouri for those years before he went to Green Bay for four seasons with the pros.
