Nov. 16, 1975 Woterloo Courier 47 k. 52-0 win clinches Bis 8 tie Buskers roll over i Mm si tin tits BIG EIGHT STANDINGS Hudson in possession in the clock from there for Humphrey) By BURKE EVANS Assistant Sports Editor LINCOLN, a short time here Saturday afternoon Nebraska's football team and its rabid fans had two reasons to celebrate and the least important seemed to be the 52-0 triumph over Iowa State. As it turned out, however, the cause for greater joy an automatic berth in the Orange Bowl-was premature. By virtue of their victory over the outmanned Cyclones, the Cornhuskers clinched at least a share of the Big Eight championship with the season finale at Oklahoma coming up Saturday.

Shortly before the game ended here, the crowd of 76,131 broke into its biggest cheer of the afternoon when Missouri's 27-20 lead over Oklahoma was announced. An Oklahoma loss would have given the Huskers the Big Eight title outright and the automatic bid to the Orange Bowl. THE BIG RED throng had emptied the stadium before. i Oklahoma's comeback 28-27 victory was announced so most of them didn't find out until later that next week's game looms as the most important of the season. It's especially important to Nebraska because while the outright Big Eight champion automatically gets the Orange Bowl invitation, the Orange Bowl committee reserves the right to pick the team if there's a tie.

And, that com--mittee has already announced' it will invite Oklahoma should the Sooners win Saturday and create that tie. forever helping Nebraska out with 15-yard penalties. The Huskers scored seven touchdowns on drives of 21, 73, 62, 60, 55, 45, 80, and 51 yards and on five of those drives major penalties against the Cyclones helped out. THE MOST critical penalty, however, didn't result in any yards being walked off against the Cyclones. Worse yet, it cost them the football just when they appeared to be on the verge of a touchdown.

Iowa State had a first down at the Nebraska 36 at the time and reserve quarterback Tom Mason threw what appeared to be a touchdown pass to senior split end Forry Smith of Waterloo. However, Smith was charged with offensive pass interference on the play in the end zone. The rule covering that penalty, when it occurs in the end zone, states that a touchback shall be called and the defensive team takes possession at its own 20. "I had never heard of the rule before," said the stunned Smith after the game. "He was pushing me all the way down the field.

We had a shoving match which is legal before the ball is in the air. "I was checking to see if my feet were in bounds," he added, "and I don't know if I was guilty or not." Smith caught the pass, then tumbled out of the end zone and one of the officials signalled a touchdown but another official closer to the play threw the flag. IT WAS THE second time this season that Nebraska has benefited from such a call, the HUDSON COACH Ed Nelson confers on the sidelines with his quarterback-son Rick Nelson late in the class AA state championship game which the Pirates won 13-7 over Pekin Saturday. The conference came with INJURIES CONTINUED to plague the Cyclones, who are 4-6 now on the season, 1-5 in the Big Eight and losers of their last five outings with a season finale against Oklahoma State at Ames coming up next Saturday. Regular fullback Mike Williams, the Cyclones' second leading rusher, didn't even suit up as a result of a thigh injury sustained in the 44-14 loss to Missouri last week.

Starting quarterback Buddy Hardeman suffered a dislocate right thumb midway through the second quarter and apparently is through for the season. He watched the second half in street clothes from the ISU bench. He suffered a broken left wrist in the Cyclones' fifth game of the year, against Kansas State, and overall has missed all of one game, most of another, and played only one complete game since Air Force without suffering some type of injury. And that's on the heels of the knee injury sustained on the first play of the second game a year ago that kept him out of the remainder of the year. Asked if he would like to see Nebraska defeat Oklahoma next Saturday and go for the national championship.

Bruce answered: "Sure, I'm for the Big Eight. I'll tell you something, the Big Eight is about as strong as it has ever been this year and personally I think this (Nebraska) is the best coached football team I've seen for a long time. They do everything well and it's tough to stop them," Can his club rebound next week from such an overwhelming setback? "I don't know about that but I sure hope so," answered the Cyclone mentor. Smith, who caught two passes for 31 yards, feels more strongly about it. "Our seniors are going to pull together and get ready next week," he promised.

"It's my last game and I don't wan to leave here Defense tough in second half r-tr 3.V the last minute. They ran out the win. Courier Photo by Jim cedure penalty nullified th kick and from the eight the Pirates elected to poss tor two and foiled with 6:17 left in the period. Pekin 7. Hudson 6.

SECOND PERIOD After taking a Pekin punt on the second play of the period the Pirates started 73 yard drive that took 17 ploys, all on the ground. Time after time the Pirates mode good yardage on first down with Pitts and Ott alternating carrying the ball. The biggest goin of the drive was 12 yorder by Ott that put the ball on the sii. From there it took three plays to score with Pitts going in from one yard with 4:17 left irs the half. Hodgin's PAT kick was good.

Pekin had one more scoring chance late In the period but Kurtf" 47 yard field goal with four seconds left in the half wos short. Hudson 13, Pekin 7 THIkD PERIOD Hudson aat the second half kickoff ond both teoms on th first possessiori lost the ball on interceptions.

Minutes later Cragle tumbled a punt and Pekin recovered on it's own 47.

It was also the second time Smith has been called for interference on what looked like a TD pass.

The first was on a fourth down play in the season opener at UCLA. The interference that- time took place before Smith got to the end zone but the TD was nullified, Iowa State was penalized 15 yards and forced to give up the ball since it was fourth down. All the penalty did Saturday, however, was make the final score more disastrous for the Cyclones. It was their worst loss since they bowed 63-0 to Oklahoma back in 1946 and the most points they've allowed since succumbing 54-29 to Nebraska in 1970. They also lost 61-10 to Colorado earlier in '70 and three times since that humiliating setback to Oklahoma in '46 have been on the short end of 52-0 counts.

Those were against Texas Tech in 1967, Colorado in 1956 and Oklahoma in 1955. TO SINGLE OUT one two standouts for the Cornhuskers Saturday would be difficult as coach Tom Osborne used all 60 players he's permitted to dress for home contests. Osborne employed no less than three quarterbacks and had a total of 10 ball carriers. The leading ground gainer for the Huskers, who amassed 318 yards rushing and 249 passing, was I back Tony Anthony, who had 80 yards on 16 carries. Fullback Tony Davis added 60 yards and wingback Curtis Craig, a sophomore from Davenport, had 28 on five first half carries.

Craig scored the first two Husker touchdowns, one on an eight-yard run and the second on a 10-yard pass from starting quarterback Vince Fer-ragano. Craig also caught an 18-yard pass but dropped what could have been a 47-yard TD pass from Terry Deck early in the second half. "I was up this week," admitted Craig, who added," this was the best game (as a. collegian) I've had." Scoring summary FIRST QUARTER The Cyclones were up to their eld) tricks as Hardee- fumbled the opening kickoff and Nebraska's Harvey recovered at the ISU 21. Three plays later Croig hit over left tackle on a counter ploy and went the final eight yards for a touchdown with left In the period.

Coyle booted the PAT. Croig olso scored the second TD for the Cornhuskers on a 10-yard pass from Ferragomo with 4:21 left in the period. That was the I tin play and only pass of a 73-yord drive.

However. Hardeman suffered dislocoted right thumb on his 12-yard run to the Nebrosko 27.

(AP) -Joe Washington dashed 71 yards for a fourth quarter touchdown and then bolted into the end zone for a two-point conversion Saturday to lift sixth-ranked Oklahoma to a 28-27 come-from-behind Big Eight football victory over 18th-ranked Missouri. Washington's dazzling run, followed by his burst for the tying and winning points, came with 4:20 to play and erased an amazing Missouri comeback in which the Tigers had wiped out a 20-0 Oklahoma lead to go ahead Big 8 champ vs. Big 10 runnerup punt on the run, but fumbled and gave the Panthers the ball just short of the mid-field stripe. "I try not to make a practice of fair catching the ball," explained Cragle. "I looked up and there was just one man between me and a touchdown.

I wanted the touchdown. There was super blocking, you just can't ask for a better line than we have." Nelson also had some words of praise for Pekin. "They are a good team," he said. "They have to be to be in the finals. Their defense was fantastic, we just couldn't more the ball in the second half." The defensive dominance of the game also was a surprise to Nelson.

"I kind of pictured the game as something like five touchdowns to three," he admitted. "Of course we hoped we would come out on top, but they are a good team and it could have gone the other way." Senior Tim Ott paced the Hudson attack with 85 yards in 22 carries. "He did an exceptional job," said Nelson of his senior back. He always does a good job. The last two games he's been playing with a dislocated thumb." Hudson finished the year with a 12-0 record and a 515-70 total point advantage, allowing more than one touchdown just three times this year and recording five shutouts.

Scoring summary FIRST QUARTER Neither team could move the boll on their lirst possession, but Pekin storied drive otter getting a Hudson punt. The Panthers took the punt on their own 44 and drove yards in six plays with McHuqh scoring from the one. Hen-drickson wos the key to the drive os he ran the counter tor a goin, cought 31-yord poss Ond then on third down ron the counter once ogoin lor eiqht yards to the one. The PAT kick wos good with 6:32 left In the quarter. Seventeen seconds later Hudson scored.

Cragle took the kickoff at the 14 ond raced down the right sideline for t4 yards and the score. The PAT kick by Hodgin wos good, but on Illegal pro a VI i times so many people came through when the chips were down. "We got to their quarterback late in the game when we had to," he continued. "Out conditioning gave us that tiny edge late in the game." The Pirates completely shut off the Panthers running game and forced Pekin to the air. Mark Hendrickson, who entered the game with a 14.2 average, netted 28 yards in seven had to pass in the second half to win," said Pekin coach Tom Stone.

"And we just couldn't get any protection. They were shooting their linebackers and we didn't pick them up." STONE CREDITED the kickoff return for the touchdown as being as much of a turning point as anything. "We got a little rough in the second quarter kind of lost our poise and weren't executing very well," he said. "I'm sure the long return might have had something to do with it." McHugh, a bruising 220-pound fullback who was second in the class A state wrestling meet at heavyweight last year weighing 260, was limited to just 28 yards in seven carries after being one of Pekin's leading rushers all year. He had a noticeable limp all day from a deep bruise he sustained in the first game of the year.

"I've never had it checked," said McHugh of the leg. "I guess I should have but I was afraid the doctor would sit me down." Was Hudson the toughest foe for the Panthers this year? "They were tough, but responded McHugh. Senior Kim Reynolds, holding the second place trophy his team won, saw it differently. "They were the only team to beat us," said Reynolds, "so they were best." ONE OF Pekin's better opportunities to score came in the last period with 6:43 left in the game. Cragle took a short Pekin mm.

Although he didn't say so directly, Iowa State coach Earl Bruce seemed to be leaning towards Nebraska. "I don't bet," he answered when asked who he was picking between Nebraska and Oklahoma, a club that whipped Iowa State 39-7 three weeks ago. "You never know about football," he added. I think both defenses are very good. I think Nebraska's offense is just devastating.

It's offensive line controls the line of scrimmage very well." EARLIER, HOWEVER, Bruce didn't appear to have any doubts when he said, "I think there is no doubt they (Nebraska) are the best team we've played. They do a lot of things well. They pass well, they run well and they play outstanding defense." The Huskers, 10-0 now and ranked second in the country, were everything Bruce said they were and more. And to top it off, the Cyclones kept helping them out. First it was freshman Ray Hardee's fumble of the opening kickoff that gave the Huskers the ball at the Iowa State 21 from where they scored in three plays.

Then the rest of the afternoon the Cyclones were Missouri, which used the running of Curtis Brown and the passing of Steve Pisarkiewicz to demolish the commanding Oklahoma lead, had one last shot at victory. It failed when Tim Gibbons missed a 40-yard field goal with 1:02 remaining. 1 The victory gave the Sooners a 9-1 overall record 5-1 In the conference and set up next Saturday's showdown with second-ranked and unbeaten Nebraska.

(AP) Kansas native Charlie Weatherbie came off the bench to hurl three long touchdown passes and direct Oklahoma State on six consecutive touchdown marches as the Cowboys clobbered injury-riddled Kansas State, 56-3, in Big Eight football action Saturday afternoon. The punchless Wildcats, who have not scored a touchdown in 22 straight quarters of play, took a 3-0 first-period lead on Bill Sinovic's 18-yard field goal. Weatherbie, a junior from Fort Scott, came in late in the initial period in place of starter Scott Burk and guided the Pokes on a 61-yard scoring drive that was capped by Robert Turner's one-yard scoring plunge one minute into the second quarter. The key play in the drive was a 40-yard pass from Weatherbie to Sam Lisle that put the ball on the Wildcat seven.

The Cowboy attack clicked like clockwork from that point until Weatherbie left in the final quarter. Weatherbie hit on touchdown passes of 31, 65 and 63 yards and finished the day with 237 yards passing, completing six of nine attempts.

Earlier, Davis ran for six yards and pitched out to Elvis Peacock, who knifed through the Tiger defense for the final 25 yards to score Oklahoma's initial touchdown.

Washington ran three yards for the other score. The Tigers, who are 6-4 overall and 3-3 in the Big Eight, came to life after the intermission and almost ran and passed the Sooners out of the stadium. Tony Galbreath scored two touchdowns, both on three-yard runs. Brown ran 23 yards for another, and Randy Grossart recovered a fumble in the end zone after Brown put it there on a 38-yard run.

"But the extra point kicking has been one of our weaknesses this year. There are four things that can go wrong the snap, blocking, holding and the kick and it just seems that we have a problem with one of them most of the time." NO LESS THAN three times in the second half Pekin had the ball deep in the Pirates' territory. Once at the 23, at the 30 and at the 14. But each time the Hudson defense held the Panthers without a point. "We showed tremendous courage," said Nelson of his defensive unit.

The winner goes to the Rose Bowl as Big Ten champion and the loser heads to Miami. Meanwhile, second-ranked Nebraska and sixth-ranked Oklahoma meet next Saturday in Norman. The winner goes to the Orange Bowl as champion of the Big Eight.

The loser also will go somewhere. The rundown: Rote Bo wl UCLA, California and Stanford are tied for the Pacific-8 conference lead. However, UCLA can win the bid by defeating Southern Cal in two weeks. The Bruins would play the winner of next Saturday's Ohio State-Michigan game.

The second team would have been Notre Dame but the Irish were upset by Pitt Saturday. Another wanted team Southern California also lost. Officials say Perm State which plays Pitt next Saturday and Georgia are high on the list. No decision will be made for a week.

(AP) -Dave Williams brought lOthranked Colorado from behind with a 35-yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter and then finished Kansas with a key fourth-down completion in a last-quarter scoring drive Saturday as the Buffalos defeated the Jayhawks 24-21. The Big Eight Conference victory before 40,120 fans and a regional television audience lifted bowl-hopeful Colorado to an 8-2 record for the season with one game remaining against lowly Kansas State. The defeat ended Kansas' bowl hopes, which were fanned by last week's 23-3 upset of Oklahoma.

Kansas is now 6-4. Kansas, down 10-7 at the half, struck quickly for a go-ahead touchdown midway through the third period when Steve Taylor romped 45 yards with an interception of a Williams pass. Nolan Cromwell, who gained over 100 yards to become only the fourth quarterback in NCAA history to go over 1,000 rushing yards in a season, carried six of seven times to cover the 32 yards to score. But Colorado rallied and scored with the next kickoff on Williams's 35-yard pass to Don Hasselbeck. And then the Buffaloes tacked on another score for a 24-14 lead in the final period.

Williams's 10-yard pass on fourth down from the Kansas 33 was the key play. The triumph shoved the Buffalos into serious bowl consideration, with representatives of the Sun Bowl at El Paso, watching this game and the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl in Houston also highly Interested. However, Fred Cassotti. Colorado's associate director of 8thletics, said no bowl decision was expected bomb 56-3 points in the second quarter for a comfortable lead at intrmission, then added a pair of touchdowns in each of the final two quarters. Halfback Terry Miller blazed for 112 yards on 18 carries and scored on a five-yard run as the Cowboys upped their season record to 6-4 and their Big Eight mark to 24.

It was the seventh straight loss for the Wildcats after three opening victories and assured them at least a share the Big Eight cellar. Split end Gerald Bain hauled in Weatherbie' first scoring pass of 31 yards and later grabbed a 63-yard bomb off the hands of the 6-foot-l signal-caller, who missed most of the season with a broken collarbone.
