Taylor, who was the object of the call said, "I don't think I Interfered at all. The man called me for pushing off and I didn't touch him "We both went' up together. But I defi-nitely got to the ball first. I don't see how he (the official) could have called interference." Miller, whose first' collegiate halfback pass went into the record books as an interception instead of a touchdown said, "I just threw it up and hoped he would catch it. I couldn't see whether or not he (Taylor) interfered; "That's just the way things go.

There's nothing I can do about it now." Center Gary Chlouber said he had a good view of it and offered, "it was very I know I wouldn't have liked to make the call. I knew in the second half that were going to win. We lost, but we're not going to fall apart." Quarterback Scott Burk, who took the snap from Chlouber and gave the ball to By Hank Inmnit "Staff Writer STILLWATER A. questionable offensive pass interference call may have cost the Oklahoma State Cowboys a victory Saturday against Nebraska. Here is the way the situation evolved: Oklahoma State was trailing, 28-20, as the fourth quarter began.

The Cowboys, who eventually lost by that score, were driving deep into Nebraska territory. From the Cornhusker 17, OSU received an illegal procedure penalty moving them' back to the 22. On a first-and-15 from that spot, halfback Terry Miller lofted a pass to Ricky Taylor in the end zone. Taylor caught the pass and the line judge, who was right next to Taylor and defender Jim Burrow, signaled touchdown. However, the field judge, Jerry Kleinsmith, said Taylor had interfered.

Under NCAA rules, when offensive in tcrference is called on a player in the end zone, the defense has the option of taking a- 15-yard penalty or a touch-back. Nebraska chose the latter option and took the ball on the 20. The call stopped the OSU drive and the momentum which had swung drastically in its direction. "It was a very, very questionable call," said OSU coach Jim Stanley. "The referee came and explained the call to Miller, said of the play, "I don't know anything about it.

Officially, I have no comment." Stanley added more on the play. I ve never criticized an official before, but I definitely thought it was a bad call. He took an awful long time to call it. It was a really tough call (to take)." On a brighter note, Stanley said of his team's performance, "It was a great sign of pride tho way we came back. It took us a while to get started.

We might have been a little tight at first. Our main concern now is keeping our heads up. Stanley singled out quarterback Burk and halfback Miller. He Indicated that both played a good game. Burk said of his first starting role this year, "I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

Nebraska did everything we expected. They just came up with a couple of good plays. "We knew we could move on them. In the second half we were outguessing them about 80 per cent of the time." Offensive coach Gene Henderson said of his new quarterback, "He did a fantastic job. He didn't have a good first half, and so we didn't.

But then he really started moving in the second half and so did we. It was all Burk." On the injury to place kicker Abby Dai-gle, the specialist himself said, "I just twisted my knee 'again. Nobody touched me. I think I'll-be able to kick this week though." Oklahoma State coach Jim Stanley revealed Saturday night that injured quarterback Jimmy Derrick had kneo surgery Friday. Tho Cliecotah junior, who tore some ligaments in tho Missouri game last week, is out for tho season.

Carl Guymon Staff Writer STILLWATER Oklahoma State's Terry Miller rolled to his left after taking a pitchout on first-and-15 at the Nebraska 22, Husker defensive back Jim Burrow suspected a halfback pass. Sure enough, Miller threw, but Burrow couldn't have imagined everything that would happen so quickly when the ball came down'. He and O-State split end Ricky Taylor leaped for the ball.

Burrow thought he had good i i a. He thought he had a chance to intercept or at least knock tho ball away. Suddenly, in horror, he thought Oklahoma State had a touchdown. "I thought I wns in good shape," said the 170-pound senior from A a Miss. "He (Taylor) had his back to me and kind of backed into me as we went up for the ball.

I couldn't believe he caught it. I thought I had a good chance for it." Burrow DID have a good chance. He was awarded an interception when officials ruled Taylor had interfered. It took a minute to sink in: "I saw the fiag and couldn't understand, because I was sure I didn't interfere," Bur-irow said. "But I guess the official judged that Taylor bumped me i-with his body just as the ball came down.
