Rodgers Breaks Loose Continued From 1 had indicated earlier in the week he also had hopes of seeing Saturday. It was early in the fourth quarter and the Husker Black Shirts had stopped Oklahoma State short of a first down for the umpteenth time with punter Jim Benien trotting onto the field and Husker Johnny Rodgers trotting back to await the punt. He fielded it at the eight-yard line and started upfield, getting a key block from Pat Morell, and sped down the sidelines in front of the Husker bench 92 yards for his first TD of the year on a punt return. When Rich Sanger booted his fifth conversion of the afternoon (he missed one), the Black Shirts were through working for the day. It was second touchdown of the day, his first coming only moments earlier on a six-yard pass from quarterback Jerry Tagge at the end of a 70-yard drive in 10 plays that started with that fumble recovery by Kosch.

The touchdown pass was 25th as a Husker, extending his record, and his 10th of the season, just two short of his school record set last year. It was eighth TD reception of the season, leaving him only one shy of the record set by the late Clarence Swanson back in 1921. Rodgers caught three passes during the afternoon for 33 yards, leaving him only 11 short of the career record of 1,234 yards held by Guy Ingles. While Rodgers was catching his eighth touchdown pass of the season, tight end Jerry List, believed by many to be the best tight end in NU history, was catching his first as a Husker. It came on a 42-yard toss from Tagge and was the final play of a seven-play drive that started at the Nebraska 15 to make the score 21-0 with 6:30 left in the first half.

Senior I-back Jeff Kinney matched two touchdowns with a 25-yard scoring burst up the middle for the first tally of the game, ending a 76 yard drive that took nine plays. The run came with 1:33 left in the first quarter. Kinney scored again with 9:25 remaining in the third (juarter on a 12-yard run to end a four-play drive that covered 48 yards, being set up by a 24- yard punt return by Rodgers. It was 27th career touchdown, leaving him only one short of the Nebraska record shared by Bobby Reynolds and Joe Orduna and gave the Huskers 27-0 lead. Oklahoma State got all 13 of its points in a span of 36 in the final two minutes of the one-sided contest.

They drove 82 yards in 14 plays against the alternate defensive lineup, a drive kept alive by a pass interference call on monster back Johnny Pitts on a play in which Pitts had intercepted a Pounds pass, apparently ending the drive at the 22. After reaching a first and goal situation at the Husker eight, it took the Gowboys four plays to get the ball in with Bill Heilman barging in for the score from less than a yard out with 1:52 left in the game. The Cowboys recovered an onside kick on the ensuing kickoff and in two plays were in the end zone again with Steve Elliott scoring from 21 yards out with 1:16 still left. While the Husker shutout string was stopfxid at two, keeping them from matching the three straight recorded by the 1967 defense against TCU, Iowa State and Oklahoma State, the Huskers did maintain their most important string, extending their unbeaten mark to 26 in a row and boosting their season mark to 7-0 and their league-leading Big Eight chart to 3-0. Next up is Colorado back in Lincoln in a game set for national TV.

Stillwater, Okla. Nebraska, which has been a victim of onside kicks in the past, was victimized by the gambling maneuver again Saturday here by Oklahoma State. The maneuver generally is used only by teams trying to reduce a big deficit in the score late in a game with coaches reluctant to use it otherwise because of the danger of giving the receiving team the ball at midfield. An onside kick must travel 10 yards before the kicking team can recover it.

The most memorable onside kicks against the Husker.s came in the 1966 Orange Bowl when Alabama caught the Huskers off guard twice early in the game with the maneuver.

Concordia then drove 60 yards after the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown with only 31 seconds left. Tim Taube completed a pass to Frieling for the score from 13 yards out.
