THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN Friday, Nov. 24, 1967 19 OU Staves Off Huskers Don Pfrimmor led a mass tackle. Nebraska had one last chance, from its 31 with 4S seconds to go. With Barrett playing 30 yards deep guarding against the bomb, Patrick passed to Morrison for 2G to OU 23. A short flip to Gregory netted only four, then Patrick missed Richnafsky.

Thirteen seconds remained. Patrick was pressured and forced into heaving a long pass that fell behind everyone in Ihe end zone. Three seconds showed on the clock as Nebraska launched its last ditch play from the 39. Patrick was in trouble again and tried for Morrison in the right corner of the field, but the ball didn't rett on the 14. Nebraska, which didn't let OU make a first down in its final four possessions, got the ball back next on its 33.

Patrick hit Dennis Richnafsky for 13 and Davis slashed 13 and seven to OU's 3G, where it was second-and-threc. Then Orduna was limited to a yard, Patrick's pass was to hot for Morrison to catch or Stephenson to intercept and it was fourth-and-two and all ihe chips were in one pulsating stack with 2:12 to play. The Huskers used their bread-and-butter play, a pitchout and power sweep by Gregory. The 210-pound senior slammed the left side, but got nothing as Granville Liggins, G. Harper, Koller, Barrett, and CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17 who netted 127 yards on 17 jaunts, fumbled and G.

Harper recovered. On the Huskers' second chance. Davis careened 26 yards on a fourth-and-one gamble from his 41 and Patrick's 11-yard toss to Joe Orduna made it first down on the 11. On second down from the nine. Pal-rick aimed a pass for Davis at the goal, but Harper cut in front of him and intercepted on the three.

Wheeler, whose punt out on the five gave OU the field position which led to the winning "touchdown, and also got off pressurized punts of 38, 51, 47 and 47 in the final 12 minutes, booted the Huskers out to the OU 49. On first down, Patrick's cross-country aerial was picked off by Bar Nebraska's Frank Patrick fades to pass, but he's in trouble cvmc close, hitting inside the five as Bruce Stcnsrud kept watch on Morrison back up field. Thus the Sooners donned the Big Eight crown for the first time since 19G2, although the Huskers, who have been champs since then, rolled up exactly L'ni'j yards more passing than 1he Sooners have been accustomed to giving a foe this season. At the outset the Huskers, who were i watched by Liberty and Sun Bowl folks, didn't look as if they were even slightly interested in going anywhere. Orduna was cracked by Vachon on the kickoff and Stephenson recovered on the 2G.

Warmack's 17-yard pass to Hinton carried to the seven but. after Zabel barely missed a Warmnck pitch in the end zone, the Sooners had to settle for a Vachon field goal from the 10. A 17-yard pickup on an exchange of punts left OU '17 yards from the 10-O louc n. Warmack rammed 10 and passed to Minion for IS, and Shotts made 11 to the first down nn the six in two attempts. Then it was Shotts going one, Warmack four and Shotts into the end zone.

Nebraska got to its 40 with the next kickoff but Patrick, who had his arm cocked to pass, was banged by Koller and Liggins recovered on the 31. And offside penalty prevented the Sooners from getting past the 26, but Vachon made it 13-0 with a wsMsmmmmrmm nmiii field goal from the 33 just 1:41 into the second quarter. Nebraska swarmed back with Patrick passing to Orduna for 20 and Gregory for 12 and six. It was fourth-and-one on the 34 and Davis broke loose for 22 to the 12. Three plays later Patrick tossed to Gregory for eight and the TD.

Patrick completions of 13 to Morrison and 11 to Richnafsky. plus Davis' 10-yard trek made it first clown on the one.
