The Daily Oklahoman from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma • 33

THE DAILY OKI.A ROMAN Friday, Nov. 24, 1972 33 Sooners Rally Continued From I'npn SI Mildron but, bv gum, he's Dave Robertson. The Sooners played the last three quarters 'without Greg Pruitt and without Carroll, the split end whom Owens replaced. If there was a nole of sadness in the Oklahoma it has to be that a liitne ankle prevented pruitt from making a bon-nflde run for the Heisman Trophy while most of the nation's voters watched on national television. Before (jxitlnfr he carried only iytice for seven yards.

I if you can Imagine Gt 's disappointment, Shed a tear for Johnny Rodgers of Nebraska, the other Heisman candidate. He will remember names like Derland Moore and Lucious Selmon and Raymond Hamilton and Kenith Pope when he is a very olfi, wrinkled man. 'Jlodgers caught three passes for 41 yards; ran to'lir times for five; returned only one punt for seven; and a couple of kickoffs for not much. The Heisman vote may not be determined until the 50th ballot. It is a shame to write an account of this struggle without mentioning all whose names belong.

May be you have 'an old souvenir program around the house. If so, you might just read the roster over and over until you get sleepy sometime next July, most likely. Leon Crosswhite. Sha-zam! He carried 29 times much like Steve Owens for 95 brutal yards, Owens caught five of Robertson's 10 completed passes for 108 of the 1S6 yard total. And Wylie repeatedly kicked the football where Rodgers could not have any fun, whatsoever.

That defense, which now has limited 10 opponents to a total of six touchdowns, checked Nebraska with 1S1 yards total offense. Of that skimpy amount, 77 came along the floor and Humm's passing earned only 104. The Sooners passed for 1S6 yards and ran for 141 for a 327 figure. Oklahoma was not penalized an inch. Nebraska was stuck with only one a pass Interference fine of nine yards and it was a most crucial play, too, putting the Sooners into position to score their second touchdown.

Mistakes have hampered OU all season, if you really call a 9-1 record being hampered. It appeared a repeat was being staged for a while. The first Nebraska score came In the middle of the first quarter after Pope signaled for a fair catch, then fumbled with Jeff Moran recovering on the Oklahoma 49. It took the Huskers nine plays, fullback Bill Olds thundering 14 yards on a draw play. Nebraska held on to that 7-0 lead through the first half.

There was another fumble, this time the ball being lifted from Joe Wy-lie's hands while he was returning a punt. Jerry List committed the thievery at the Sooner 24, and six plays later Dave Goeller made like an airplane and flew over a big pile of human flesh for the final yard. Rich Sanger converted again. Nebraska was in front, 14-0, with 6:45 remaining In the third quarter. The crowd squealed with delight, except for those few thousand Okla-homans huddled in the end zone.

Ncbraskans invi-sioned being attendant to coach Devaney's victorious finale after his 11 years here. They could see the Huskers winning their 24th straight game in this ancient stadium, see them extending their unbeaten Big Eight string to 27 in a row. But, look again! Joe Washington's one-yard a around right end cut the Nebraska lead to 14-7 with 2:15 left in the third quarter; Grant Burget, the soph sub for Pruitt, banged across for the final yard of that quick second Sooner TD surge, and then Fulcher, a senior from California whose foot was virtually unknown until Carroll's place kicking ability was lamed early in the year, walked out to wrap it up. By game time the temperature was climbing into 15 PLUS TAX AND TRADE WHEN YOU BUY 1st TIRE AT PRICES LISTED BELOW. Garland Polyester the upper.
