Nebraska Coach Bob Devaney said "Alabama players were 27 points better than us. They beat us individually; they took our line apart, and they had plenty of time to pass." Stabler, a southpaw, hit All- America end Ray Perkins on the first play from scrimmage with a 45-yard pass that set up Alabama's first score. Les Kelly carried the ball over from the one. From that point on, it was misery for Devaney and his Cornhuskers. It was the second straight year the Tide has humiliated the Big Red.

The Crimson Tide rolled over Nebraska 39-28 in the 1966 Orange Bowl.

After humiliating Nebraska 34-7 in the Sugar Bowl at New Orleans Monday to complete a perfect ll-o campaign, the Alabama players hollered for a chance to meet top-ranked Notre Dame.

The Tide was ranked third in the final national ratings. Quarterback Kenny Stabler, who passed for one Alabama touchdown and scored another, summed up the feelings of regarding Notre Dame when he said: "I believe would hold our own against them anytime and if we had a chance we'd jump at One Point Win Purdue squeezed out a 14-13 decision over Southern California in the Rose Bowl at asadena, when the Trojans failed on a two-point conversion attempt in the final minutes of play and Florida defeated Georgia Tech 27-12 in the Orange Bowl at Miami.

(UPI) Jack Behringer, the first 10 years were the hardest. Success came to Behringer his year when he piloted his City College a jam to an unbeaten season and the highest scoring total in Wolverine history. A 21-21 i vith Westminster prevented a perfect season. The success contrasted with iehringer's lot in 1956 when he took over the coaching spot. The team lost all eight games and yielded 339 points.

It lost, 60-0, to Westminster, 59-7 to Thiel, 55-0 to Edinboro and 48-0 to Juniata. Only 16 players reported for practice when Behringer called for candidates in 1956. Although the team lost all their games, they played "their hearts out," Behringer recalled. "That year we were just happy to sco're." ct But the spirit carried over to the next season and the Wolv- er 3es won five of eight games. Behringer was named the Tri' 378 College Coach of the year the Curbstone Coaches As- jsociation.

Behringer went on to three 'winning seasons, three i campaigns and two break-even Quarterback Mike Zeigler of Harrisburg area sparked the Grovers this season by completing 38 in 60 pass attempts for SS3 yards and a completion record of 63 per cent. He hurled 15 touchdown passes. the score. The Trojans felt their pride had been restored as they won the statistical battle, outgaining in both passing and rushing, but losing the scoreboard decision on the two-point gamble. "It has always policy to got for been our the win, McKay said.

"We weren't going for a tie. Nobody in the stands wanted us to go for a tie." Mollenkopf said that in the same position "I would have done the same thing. You've got to go for two points in situation like that." Southern California played the Bilermakers on even terms in the first half for a 7-7 tie at the intermission. But a third period fumble gave -Purdue scoring position in the third period and the Boilermakers took advantage of it. Pass Play TD On the first play after getting the ball, Griese fired a 39-yard pass to end Jim Beirne who caught the ball on the goal line and fumbled into the end zone where Adrian Young recovered.

Pat Cashnran's weak, 23-yard punt after the Trojans were set back to their 14 on a holding penalty again left Purdue in scoring position. This time Griese hit halfback Bob Hurst on consecutive passes of 13 and 14 yards for a first down on the six and three plays later fullback Perry Williams scored. Then Griese kicked the all- important extra point. The Trojans came back with a 62-yard drive in the fourth seriod that culminated with a L9-yard scoring pass from Winslow to flanker Rod Sherman with 2:28 left to play. That's daring lost.
