Tim SUNDAY OKLAHOMAN Snction October 25, 1970 Huskers Have Too Much of Everything By Volnov Mecce Stnff Writer LINCOLN "Lone; day long day." Oklahoma State coach Floyd Cass kept re-peatinc In the dressing room ator the Cowboys' 65-31 loss to Nebraska. He added, "I'll say this: If Nebraska 'is the 70. 4 team In the nation, I'd hate to have to play those other three. They've got a FINK football learn. That's the best football team we've faced this year, I'll assure you.

They've got great balance, good offense and good defense." Gass went on, "I don't know what happens to us against good football teams. We seem to give 'cm easy touchdowns. It sure makes it hard on you." When a reporter pointed out 31 points is enough to win most games, Gass snld. "Well, wo really hoped to establish some semblance of a running game. I3ut we got so Jar behind we had to forget that and play catch-up." Asked if he was proud of the Pokes for coming out swinging in the second half although behind.

41-7, Floyd declared, "1 was very proud of them. I just told 'em the second half was a different ball game they had to go out and play for the pride of the team and the pride of the individual." Gass confirmed that on the Tony Pounds pass that was deflected and Intercepted for the touchdown tha? put Nebraska ahead, M-7. receiver Bobby Cole had been wide open down the middle. Gas? agreed that had to be the turning point in the contest. Class said during the week off the Cowboys had before the game, "We changed some of our pass patterns.

That helped us some. Hut Nebraska had some things we hadn't seen, that delay pass across the middle that was eating us up, we hadn't seen that before." Of the receivers on that delay pass, Gass said, "they've got two fine receivers in Jeff Kinney and Johnny Jlodgers. They make your passing game go." Dick Graham said of his 9f-yard kickoff return. "I think one guy kinda caught my lee and knocked me to the outside. There wasn't anybody there." fin his Sl-yard scoring reception from Pounds on the last, play of the game.

Graham said. "I hit somebody, but 1 had to slay on my feet. Pounds threw the ball real good. That's the way he's supposed to throw it up in the air like that so it will get over the defensive guys." Was the one-sidedness of the contest a shock? "Yes, it really was. They're a good team, but they aren't THAT much better than we are.

Wo just had a lot of breaks go aeainst us." Hermann Ebon, asked the same question, replied, "it was more than a shock. It was mote or less like a fairy tale." Nebraska roach Rob Devaney. a little em-harrassed by tln lop-sided score, said. "Just say anybody who loves offensive football should have been ecstatic today." Fullback Dan Srhneiss commented, "Fantastic. 1 sure didn't think we'd score like that.

Oklahoma State wasn't easy and d'idn't give up, but we just played good hall."
