The Cedar Rapids Gazette: Nov 14, 1993 anthers wrap up at least a share of Gateway crown "I have a lot of good memories in this place," he added. "To go out like I did tonight is really special to me and I'm always going to treasure this moment." Stovall, who rushed for 60 tough yards on 19 in that position. "We're right in the hunt of it." After giving up 17 first-half points, UNI's defense pitched a shutout, limiting the Salukis to just 34 second-half yards and four first downs. For the game, SIU had just 211 total yards and 15 By R. Ogden Gazette assistant sports editor CEDAR FALLS For the first 30 minutes of 'Saturday night's Gateway Conference football game, Northern Iowa looked like a team ready to end its season.

For the second 30 minutes, it looked like a club ready to make a run at an NCAA I-AA title. Thanks to its 49-17 thumping of Southern Illinois before a capacity parents' night crowd of 16,324 at the UNI-Dome, the 13th-ranked Panthers may be doing just that. UNI assured itself at least a tie for its fourth straight Gateway crown, finishing the league slate at 5-1. The Panthers, 8-3 overall, now will await the outcome of next week's Western Illinois-Indiana State game to see if it's an outright or shared title. Regardless, the Panthers should be in the playoffs for the fourth straight year.

"We just improved our stock (for the playoffs)," i UNI Coach Terry Allen said after Tim Mosley and Jeff Stovall each scored three touchdowns, tying a Gateway record. "I think we're vying for a middle seed where you have to be (ranked) eight, nine, 10, or 11 to get a chance," he added. "I think we are legitimately carries, scored urns omer first-half TD on a 5-yard run with 4:05 left in the opening quarter. The TD was set up after Warner hit a wide open Taylor down the middle for a 57-yard gain. Taylor juggled the ball, probably costing him a TD.

Stovall added two more rushing TDs in the second half, covering 7 and 2 yards, giving him a school-record 17 this season. He had 16 rushing TDs, another UNI record. Southern Illinois kept NORTHERN IOWA FOOTBALL roughing the quarterhack penalty and another Warner pass bounced off the chest of a Saluki defender. "We just ended up killing ourselves," said Warner, who settled down to complete 13 of 19 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns. "You could almost feel it in everybody, a little tension there, not wanting to lose the game," Allen added.

"We knew we could do some things and wa just said 'hey, settle down and do your Despite that shaky start, the Panthers put 21 points on the board thanks to some big plays. Warner and Mosley hooked up twice, first on a 52-yard bomb with 11:29 left in the opening quarter. Warner found Mosley again with 3:05 left in the half, capping a 34-yard drive with a 31-yard TD pass. Tony Taylor's 65-yard kickoff return set up the short drive. The two did it again at the start of the third period on an 18-yard play with 8:14 left.

"This was a big game for me," said Mosley, who finished with four catches for 108 yards. He was one of 15 seniors honored in UNI's regular-season finale. first downs. The Panthers sacked Saluki quarterback David Pierson eight times for 51 yards in losses. "That's the best our defense has played as a group," Allen said.

"In the second half, the defense reminded me of the Northern Iowa defense of the last couple of years." The seesaw first half ended with the Panthers holding a 21-17 lead despite doing little right. UNI's offense sputtered for the first 30 minutes and was lucky to turn the ball Jeff Stovall 3 TD runs Tim Mosley 3 TD grabs pace in the first half with a 17-yard pass from Pierson to Billy Swain, a 27-yard field goal by Ryari Given and a 1-yard run by Greg Brown, who finished with 65 yards on 31 carries. over only three times.

At one time this year, Jeff Soucie was a fifth-string fullback for Iowa State. Saturday, he was the Cyclones' leading rusher against No.

4 Nebraska. Soucie, a freshman walk-on from Hastings, gained 92 yards in a reserve role in Iowa State's 49-17 loss. He carried 14 times after starting fullback Rodney Guggenheim suffered a leg injury in the first half. "In reality, our top four fullbacks were not available," said ISU Coach Jim Walden. "I'm really proud of Jeff.

He played lights out. I'm sure it will be a moment he'll remember forever." Injuries this season have decimated Iowa State fullbacks. Artis Garris, Chris Ulrich, Hussein Warmack and Guggenheim now all have missed playing time because of injury. Soucie had a long-gainer of 27 yards, second-best to Calvin Branch's 40-yarder. The Cyclones gained 261 rushing yards against the Cornhuskers.

"For those people who weren't here, it wasn't as bad as it might've seemed," Walden said. "It wasn't really a bad effort by the Cyclones. "So much of what we planned to do went right out the window after we got behind off the bat. We tried to stay with the plan. We just got discombobulated a little." TIME FOR REST Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said he had to give Calvin Jones a breather.

Jones gained 208 yards on 26 carries, including a 64-yard run.

You don't give the third-best football team in the nation turnovers back-to-back and let them score. "After we got over that shock, I thought our guys settled in and played pretty good until the first series of the second half." Osborne isn't giving up on a national title, particularly after No. 2 Notre Dame upset No. 1 Florida State, 31-24. The Huskers, 6-0 in the league, face Oklahoma at Lincoln Nov.

"I really have tried not to look too far down the way," Osborne said. "The polls, to me, have almost become a humorous thing. Hopefully, we can play well one more time here and get into a good bowl.

I don't know if there are any super teams that can't be beat," Frazier ran for 125 yards and three touchdowns and Jones ran for 208 yards and a TD for Nebraska. Iowa State had 261 rushing yards, including a team-best 92 by unheralded fullback Jeff Soucie. A freshman walk-on from Hastings, Soucie entered the game in the first half when Guggenheim was injured. Iowa State scored on an 11- LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) There was too much riding on this one for No.

4 Nebraska to let Iowa State do it again. The Cornhuskers' Tommie Frazier and Calvin Jones powered a Nebraska ground attack that sank Iowa State, 49-17, Saturday, clinched a third-straight trip to the Orange Bowl and gave NU a 10-0 season start for the first time in a decade. "I'm glad that's over," said Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne. "This is our third straight Big Eight championship. That's quite an accomplishment.

At least I think it is." Iowa State (3-7, 2-7) saw its chances for a second straight upset of Nebraska dim in the first three minutes. The Cyclones knocked off Nebraska in Ames last season, 19-10. ISU handed Nebraska a couple of easy scores in the first three minutes when James Brooks fumbled the opening kickoff and NU's Tyrone Williams recovered at the 27. Three plays later Frazier ran in from the 1. Williams then recovered another fumble, this by Rodney Guggenheim on the Cyclones' first play after the ensuing kick-off.

That set up the Huskers at the ISU 20 and Jones capped a four-play drive with another 1-yard run. Nebraska picked up its third score of the opening period when Frazier found tight end Gerald Armstrong from 10 yards out with 8:23 remaining.
