One play. Anthony hurdles over the middle. He dove too soon. His thrust is thrown back by the Sooner middle. The remaining two seconds disappear quickly.

Nebraska has nothing Thirty playing minutes later you couldn't get away from it, the fumbles, all those mistakes, they were everything. Switzer acknowledged that, realizing again his Sooners were not error-free themselves. "Nebraska is a great team, but today they made some of the mistakes and turnovers that have hurt us in the past. We were lucky. If Nebraska hadn't made some of those mistakes, we would have had a hard time winning." It was unusual the way things had gone.

Usually, the Sooners have had field position and controlled things with their defense. But those first three Sooner scores came on the only times, up until then, OU had ventured into Nebraska territory. For much of the afternoon poor punting by OU and Nebraska's solid defenders had kept OU well bottled. The Sooners failed to get past their 30 until the fourth possession, when they scored. The last possession of the first half they got all the way to the 37.

The IS, 18 and 10 were starting points for OU in the third quarter. But that was before all those gifts came raining down. Cont. From Page Ono stall out at the eight. However, Coyle gets Nebraska on lop, 3-0, with a 24-yard kick.

Burrow's 32- a return of a flat Tinker Owens punt to the OU 3S leads to a TD. Jt Is OU's, though. Ferraga-mo iumbles at the OU 42 trying to pa.s.s. Leroy Selmon is there to pounce on it. Scott Hill Huskers Had Kept Fiesta Options Alive NORMAN Nebraska twice said "no" to a possible Fiesta Bowl bid, but an Arizona newspaper reports the Huskers have requested scouting credentials for next week's game between Arizona and Arizona State.

Winner of that game is the Fiesta host "Not so, absolutely not so," says Nebraska defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin. Kiffin. incidentally, spent 15 minutes before the game comparing notes with his Oklahoma counterpart, Larry Lacewell. Sounded like a coaching clinic Dolus: color commentary for a Tulsa station Saturday was Steve Owens, ex-OU great. Steve, his bum knee healed, said he could have rejoined the Detroit Lions three weeks ago, but the club has decided to hold him out for the season.

"I know that's best for me," said Steve. "It could-prolong my career for two years." A total of 21 Lions have been felled by surgery this season To keep their players off the streets Friday night, the Sooners took in the movie "Night-walker," billed as a "psycho-horror" thriller Two Lincoln sports writers decided to go into business for themselves prior to Saturday's game.

He had to pick one of us and either way he was wrong. It was fun. Oklahoma converted the fumble into a 7-3 lead. Late in the third period, Ferragamo started to run what looked like a quarterback counter. He later confided it was going to be a pass.

It didn't develop far enough for anyone to know. Leroy Sel-mon was slanting on the play. He was slanting the right way. No one touched him. "That just happens," said Lacewell.

"We just happened to guess right." Said Leroy, "But we had an awful lot of good defensive calls today." The ball popped out of Forragamo's hands as Leroy wrapped his right aim around him. "I wasn't going for the ball," said Leroy. "It just happened accidentally. They must have missed an assignment." The bobble was recovered by end Mike Phillips. Said he, "All I know is it was rolling around on the ground.

Nobody was there but me and ball. 1 wanted to pick it up and run with it." That provided impetus which seven plays later provided a 14-10 lead. The trend was set. Nebraska had discovered how to j'umbie. Lee Hover pounced on a bobbled punt, ou scored, 21-10.

Jr-rrv Anderson intercepted. OU scored. 28-10. And once again up popped the 150-pound figure of Hover. The soph, who had been put on the kicking team because of an injury only five games ago, tlaped the ball loose on a kickoff.

Greg Sell-myer recovered. OU scored, 35-10. Yc, fumbles just happen, sometime- them hapion.
