6 October 31, 1971 Section THE SUNDAY OKLAHOJIAN raska Rides Herd on Buffs, 31-7 under five touchdowns for the first time this fall. But Rodgers broke Guy Ingles' school record for pass re-calving yardage while snaring three for 54 despite double coverage. i who finished with 81 yards for 27 jaunts, bettered the NU murk for career touchdowns, his 29th erasing Bobby Reynolds and Joe Orduna from the record book. Colorado, had good field position on several occa Coiidiui'id From I'jirc One ed on only two of nine aerials and had one picked off. Still, one-sided as the score and statistics were as Nebraska simply smothered another victim with its awesome defense and demonically methodical offense, the game probably would have ended 17-7 if the Buffaloes hadn't goofed at some pretty horrible times.

The victors' first and fourth touchdowns were virtual "gimmes," requiring movements of only 16 and 25 yards. The Buffs' worst field position of the game, their own three, was followed by their worst mistake. Two plays later, a snap between center Bill McDonald and sub quarterback Joe Duonas squirted off to the right. End John Adkins recovered for the Huskers at the 16. Jeff Kinney swished five and 11 to score, Sanger converted and it was 7-0 after 12:59 of play.

The Huskers' only touchdown of the second half was another gift. Branch flubbed a punt reception and Johnny Rodgers recovered on the CU 25. Tagge and Kinney carried lo the three in five tries and Kinney lugged a pitch-out around the left flank for the touchdown, butting past defender John Stavcly at the two and leaving halfback Brian Foster a knockout victim at the one, The Buffs, who were No. f) nationally heading into the contest, lost three of seven fumbles in addition to having the aerial Intercepted during their frustrating afternoon which left them 3-2 in the conference to Nebraska's 4-0. The Huskers, who now have won IS straight and avoided defeat for 27 games in a row, were held down of the season.

The Buffs got the ball on Nebraska's 43 and 47 in the first half but couldn't make a first clown either time. And they were turned back after reaching the 20 and 23 in the fourth quarter. The Huskers didn't get everything on offense cheaply. They went 74 in nine plays for the 14-0 touchdown, Tagge connecting on three straight passes for 52, including a five-yard payoff flip to reserve fullback Maury Damkro-ger. On their 75-yard, 10-play march to the 21-7 score, Tagge hit two of two for 51 and fullback Bill Olds and Rodgers contributed key runs of 13 and eight yards.

Tagge scored this touchdown on a sneak from the one. The journey to the 14-0 lead started after Dave Mason Intercepted a pass underthrown by Johnson. Tagge hit Frosty Anderson for 17 yards and Rodgers for 30 to the 21. Five Kinney carries got the ball to the five, from where Tagge passed to Damkroger after linebacker Billy Drake had fallen down in the end zone. The drive which killed could do nothinE sions with it against Nebraska's first string defenders, the Black Shirts, who yielded only their second touch Colorado's "comeback" started spectacularly with Tagge hurling a 32-yard strike down the middle to Kinney.

Rodgers' 13-yard reverse ended at the 28 and Olds broke a couple of tackles to get eight yards to the 16 on a third and six play. Kinney dropped five yards on a reverse but Tagge passed to Rodgers on a delay over the middle for 19 to the two preceding Tagge's TD. Colorado had third and one on the Buff 38 just before intermission but lost four yards on two plays and the Huskers quickly struck for Sanger's field goal. Tagge had completions of 15 to Woody Cox and nine to Jerrry List. Tagge was run out of bounds at the 17 with only two seconds left, Colorado stopped Nebraska on its first three possessions of the second half but fumbled away a chance at the Husker 2S and then gave the hosts the ball 25 yards from the end zone on Branch's fumble.

Tagge's nine-yard run on the first play was the longest gainer on the drive. Colorado's two late chances ended when Duen-as was thrown for third and fourth down losses of nine and eight yards after the Buffs had reached the 20 and when two plays netted only three yards after they had third-and-four at TEXAGS SHOCK ARKANSAS BY 8 Georgia Tech Defense Puts Duke in Dark ATLANTA (AP) -Georgia Tech's vaunted defense stopped Duke cole a a and vised rj blocked kick and a fumbled punt lo help defeat the Blue Devils 21-0 before a homecoming crowd ol nearly 50,000.
