The Manhattan Mercury from Manhattan, Kansas • 10

B2 The Manhattan Mercury Sunday, November 9, 1975 Like Aggies and OU Cats eskers praise anvthinff thev do against a nationally 1 ranked club will do nothing but help them. You can't take anything away from them, though, their defense was just plain good." Once again the tough-luck Wildcat offense suffered through a dismal day. Although they only made six first downs and less than 84 yards on the ground, one Cornhusker, All-Big Eight defensive end Bob Martin, did not see the K-State situation as hopeless. "If Kansas State didn't have all those injuries, they would be a goad i Mil f. They've proven that they can play with anybody in the country.

"But I tell ya if we play like we did today we're going to get beat." Every part of the Kansas State defense, from the down linemen to the secondary, was praised by the Cornhuskers. Tony Davis, the flamboyant fullback who gained 74 yards on the afternoon, pointed to the Cat line as being outstanding. "They are a lot quicker than I thought they would be," he stated. "They really stuck us. Those linebackers (Gary Spani with 19 tackles and Carl Pennington with 14 tackles) were all over." But probably the most lauded part of the defense Cat defense was the secondary made up of strong safety Marvin Switzer, cornerbacks Rocky Osborn and John Andrews and free safety Jim Lembright.

"I was getting plenty of time to set up for my passes, but our receivers just couldn't shake loose from that secondary," related Husker quarterback Vince Ferragamo. "We weren't up emotionally for this game. It's tough to get sky high week after week like we have been the last few games." "In my opinion, it's by far the best coverage we've seen all year," summarized NU defensive coor-dinater Monte Klffen, who was listed as a possible candidate for the K-State head coaching job last year. Monte Anthony, the Nebraska I back who was the game's leading rusher with 107 yards, cited the Kansas State situation as a possible reason for the Cats' excellent showing. "K-State really has got nothing to lose," he explained.

"Almost IJy BILL NEWSOME Mercury Sports Writer Texas was first. After the No. 6 ranked Aggies managed to score 10 points against Kansas State in the fourth game of the season, one phrase was echoed over and over in the Aggie locker room "Kansas State's defense is superb." Then came No. 2 ranked Oklahoma. The Sooners only scored 11 points in the last three quarters against the Wildcats and weren't able to cross the goal line during that time.

Again the word about K-State was defense." And finally on Saturday in KSU Stadium, in came Nebraska. Ranked third nationally and probably playing better football than anyone in the country, it looked to be romp-city when the powerful Huskers squared off against the injury-riddled, slumping Cats. But following the game, where the streaking Cornhuskers only managed one touchdown, quotes such as, "tough, real tough" and "possibly the best we've played all year" were frequent descriptions of the K-State defensive 11 after the Huskers sneaked off with a 12-0 victory. Not bad when you figure that three teams currently ranked in the top five in the country were only able to score four touchdowns against a K-State defense that had to be stationed on the field two-thirds of the time during each one of those three contests. "I'm disappointed with our play, but I've got to be pleased with the fact that we played poorly and were still able to win," explained Nebraska coach Tom Osborne.

"That's really important from our standpoint. "It was a well played defensive game. K-State really impressed me.

Former NU head coach and athletic director Bob Devaney described the Cat defense as "a very fine one." "We didn't play well, but K-State is responsible for that," he noted. "They deserve every bit of credit they're getting around this locker room. Their linebackers are exceptional. Spani really impressed me." But can this Cornhusker team bounce back after a mediocre performance, and is it comparable to the 1970 and 1971 national championship teams? "This club should be able to come back and play well," Devaney said. "But it's just hard to compare them to the championship Warns.

This is a very good team, tnere's no doubt about that. We'll seejust how good they are in a few weeks." Probably the best summarization of the Husker's win came from Ferragamo. "When we came out for the second half with a 9-0 lead, our game plan was to run right at them and try to blow them out," he explained. "We've done it before this year, but we just couldn't do it against K-State." izzou rips slumping ISU another touchdown on an illegal motion call, while Joe Stewart was scrambling 18 yards to the goal.
