Soturdov, Nov. 13, 1965 Thp l.lm-oln Star JiL Surprise Team In Big Eight To Try Pulling Off Mafor Grid Upset OKLAHOMA STATE MADE BEHER THAN EXPECTED SHOWING LAST By HAL BROWN Star Sports Editor Stillwater. surprise team of the Big Eight the past two seasons will be trying to pull one of the major upsets of this football season when Oklahoma State takes on Nebraska in a 1:30 p.m. contest before 30,000 fans at Lewis Field here this afternoon. The Cowboys have surprised Big Eight observers each of the past two season by their better-than- expected showing and this season by their worse-than-ex- peeted performance.

Oklahoma State has won only once this season, a 17-14 victory over Tulsa, with six losses including the last four in ii row. they likely will need a lot of help in the way of Husker mistakes if they hope to come close to the second-ranked team. Huskers-O-State Lineups Nebraska tops the nation in rushing offense with 287.4 yards per game and is second in total offense with 416.4 while also standing second in scoring at 34.9 and sixth in total defense, allowing only 195.0 yards per game. Meanwhile, coach Phil Cowboys can even crack the top five in any Big Eight statistical category. The Cowboys rank only sixth in rushing offense 136.0 vards per contest, seventh in passing with 60.9 and seventh overall with the 196.9.

Nebraska leads the Big Eight in all three phases. And Oklahoma State stand any better when they have tlie ball. They are seventh in rushing defense. ahead of only Kansas State, sixth in passing defense and seventh in total defense. One can argue that points, not statistics, win games.

But it certainly is easier to score points if you can gain 416 vards which the Huskers are averaging than it is if you gain only 197, Oklahoma average. And if you want to discuss individuals. Nebraska has nine backs averaging more yardage per carry than Oklahoma State fullback Walt Garrison, last Big Eig.it rushing champion. starting backfield of quarterback Fred Duda halfbacks Harry Wilson (5.4) and Ron Kirkland and fullback Frank Solich (6.8) are all far above 3.7 mark per carry. Nebraska has been held to less than 27 points only by Missouri this season, but only two teams have scored more than 27 against the defense.

Arkansas in its 28-14 opening win over the Cowboys and Colorado in a 34-11 triumph are the only clubs to score more than 17 points against Oklahoma State. Aside from Garrison, major otlensivc threat is quarterback Glen Baxter, who has been sidelined by injurv much of the season but with an open date la.st weekend he is expected to be ready. ike Baxter has completed 22 of 67 passes lor yards, but has a minus-37 yards rushing on 33 carries. Nebraska which outmans the Cowboys in the big guy department also outdoes OSC in the little guy category, two to one. The Iluskers can offer 158-pound rank Solich and ib-- pound Larry Wachholtz in the flyweight class against Okia- homa 155-pound Larry Elliott, The Cowpokes have only three players topping tnc -UU- pound mark on offense and only three on defense.
