Sun WouldnH Shine For NV' Scoring Story AP Top 20 Views Compiled by Tom Vint and Randy York Hoad coach Al Onofrio "The long touchdown pass (98 yards) and two-point conversion were certainly the key plays. Dick Jamieson, our quarterback coach, called the play from upstairs. We had nothing to lose in the situation. A safety wasn't going to beat us. "That's the best defense we've played all season.

We seemed to bend, but not break. Very simply, we played a great game and beat a great Nebraska team. We had to fight back from adversity several times. "Nebraska and Oklahoma losing today proved what a dogfight the Big Eight race is going to be. The champion will not be determined until the final football game is played, I am sure of that." Defensive Coordinator Vince Tobin "Our defense felt it had something to prove today.

We started in a defense we hadn't used all season to give Nebraska a new look. We moved our whole defense over and stacked our linebackers. We had played a straight five-man front in our first six games. "Nebraska was missing the blocking assignments in the first half, but certainly made the necessary adjustments for the second half. We just got some breaks and took away their homerun ball.

I know our defense has been criticiied, but our only real bad game was against Illinois." Morris Towns On his battle with Nebraska's Rbn Pruitt: "It was a rough afternoon. He's definitely the fastest guy I've played against. I'd try to do something and if I did it wrong, he was past me." On the TO bomb which won the game: "It was just a play action pass. We just did everything right and they did something wrong." Offtnsivo Tackle James Taylor On his battle with Nebraska's Mike Fultz: "We both had some good plays. I guess he probably won the battle, though.

I made some mistakes. He's a helluva tackle the best I've played against. "I had my toughest time with Fultz when he was slanting. On the play action, he would come straight ahead and I'd go to meet him. Personally, I'd have liked to do better against him.

But we won the game and I suppose that's the important thing." Tailback Dean Leibson "The way I can help the team most is on short yardage, carrying through a fake on pass plays and blocking. Ltibson gained additional playing time due to the in- iury last week of starter Curt Brown, who played one play against Nebraska because of a back injury: "I didn't do that well. I'm not much of a threat to break a long one and against a team like Nebraska, you don't do that anyway." Noseguard Randy Frisch "We went back to our basic defenses. We kept fighting them off when we gave up so many yards in that third quarter. I think the credit would have to go to the entire defensive unit tor only allowing them three points.

This is my first game ball. When it's given to you from the team captains as part of the team effort in a big game, that's one of the best compliments a guy can have. It's one of the biggest victories I've ever been in." Quartarback Pete Woods When asked how it folt to be No. 2 bthind Stovo Pisarkiowicz "I don't think. I'm No.

The Cornhuskers were trailing the visiting Tigers, 23-18, at intermission. They huddled around a movie projector and watched some hastily-developed film of the opening moments of the game. Such an opportunity to detect first-half mistakes seemed to pay off. Nebraska moved up and down the field in the third quarter. The defense stymied what had been an effective Missouri offense.

Nebraska gained 196 yards in the third period while holding Mizzou to a mere 10. The Huskers registered 11 first downs. Missouri didn't get a single one. There was just one problem. Despite the huge statistical edge.

Nebraska scored just three points. "Missouri pulled out all the Cornhusker coach Tom observed. addition to the long passes, which really hurt us, they tried an onside kickoff, an end around and some other tricky plays. Most of them worked. Most of our stunts Nebraska pulled a new play from the bag of tricks a lateral from quarterback Vince Ferragamo to wingback Dave Shamblin, who was in turn going to throw a pass.

"The receiver is tight end Ken Spaeth," Osborne explained. "Some thought Spaeth was open for a minute. But Dave see him and started to run. He had the first down and our drive was still going, but he was hit from behind and That play, and an interception of a Ferragamo pass moments later, sealed the doom. turnovers were disastrous." Osborne said.

We played a tine game but we just had too many mistakes. This isn't the end of the world. We still are in the Big Eight race and are still going to go to the Orange Bowl. True, the national championship doesn't look too good, but we plan to go undefeated from here on. We've got a strong team with a lot of seniors who have tasted defeat before and have bounced back.

Look at the LSU game, that was a big, big blow but we bounced back and we will bounce back again. We'll go home and think about it tonight and then look at the films tomorrow and then forget it. We are not going to let one game make or break our season." On the fumble recovery that set up the second touchdown "It felt like about 14 guys jumped on top of me One Missouri guy grabbed my face mask and another hit me in the face and cut my nose." Did you think the attitude of the team was diftwwnt boforo this "No We had a good attitude, maybe even a little more fired up than usual. It was really no different than any other week." Dtftiiilvt tacklf Mikt Fultz On the 9t-yard seeing play "I turned around and saw him Stewart) catch it and then it seemed like a 1,000 yards passed by as I watched him run. There was no real fake, it was just pot luck." What is your impression of Missouri's highly-loufod offtnsivo tacklos? "Thoy are good ballplayers.

You have to watch the films and then rate who had the better game, but they are good players." Offtiitivt facklt Mb Lingtfifolttr On the (tefeat "We just beat ourselves. So many mental mistakes, fumblev leaving the ball all over the place. Hell, I was offside one time and killed a drive. We came out the second half and kicked their butts but could not get it in the end zone. You can't expect to beat Missouri when you make so many mistakes.

But they get one lucky play. You would not tael as bad if they physically beat you, but they didn't. We win as a team and lose as team and we just came out on the short end of the stick." Dtftnilvt back Davt Butttrflalfl On the first long pass ft Jte Sttwart "That was another mixup. I should have dropped off on that play and I didn't." Old it surprise ytu that Fete Wttds sfarfad insftad tf Steve FIsarkiewiczf "No, not really. As soon as they ran the first play we knew Woods would be in there.

Zark may throw the ball with a littia more on it, but they are both good." PaM iaterfeptioas Na. Yds. 1 25 I 7 KkkirffRetiinf Nt. Yds. 54 Lewis 2 nliit Pro Footbtll St.
