They trailed 10-7 with 3:22 left in the first quarter.

The Black Shirt defense had been hit twice on passes of 62 and 41 yards, the latter setting up a touchdown. The offense had lost a fumble which set up a field goal, and quarterback Vince Ferragamo had thrown an intercepted pass. were starting to scramble at this coach Tom Osborne said. Four plays later, the tide turned as senior comer- back Dave Butterfield, a perfectly set wall of blockers, returned a punt 87 yards for the Indiana Tops Washington go-ahead touchdown. was the turning point in the Osborne said.

gave us a lift and hurt them psychologically." After that, Osborne thought a lot of good things happened for the Buskers despite a couple of missed scoring opportunities in the third quarter. was a fairly good hitting he said. The hard hitting coupled with a wet ball, created three TCU fumbles which Buskers fell on. Pressure on quarterbacks Jimmy Dan Elzner and Steve Bayuk led to four pass interceptions. Those turnovers enabled the Buskers to take possession of the ball eight times in TCU territory, including starts at the 8, 24 twice, 30, and 36 twice, all resulting in touchdowns, and the 23, producing a field goal.

The Borned Frogs, on the other hand, started in Nebraska territory only once, after Monte Anthony's fumble on the first Busker offensive play of the game. Of their 15 other possessions, they started inside their 20 seven times and inside their 30 six times. In addition to the two early NU turnovers. Busker problems were compounded by the inability to effectively generate a running attack. Fortunately, Ferragamo was having a good afternoon through the air.

thing that concerns me is that we run the ball Osborne said. aren't a lot of teams left on our schedule we can beat if we run with the football. The running game is going to get a lot of attention next The final rushing total came to 192 net yards, lowest of the season, but their 231 passing yards bailed them Individual Statistics ind Downs Rushos-Yards 57-219 Passing Yards Return Yards Passes Punts Fumbles-Lost PenaltiesYards 4-10-0 7-409 3-1 9-111 Wash 16 52 -233 59 94 5-18-0 4-395 2-2 5-75 Nebraska Offense Rushing No. Yds.

Berns Steward Stewart. Views Compiled by Chuck Sindair Strong safety Darryl Lowe "A lot of the time, I don't think we realized what they were running. We lust weren't sure when they were coming Into our areas on pass defense. When they did complete the passes, our tackles were terrible. We lust missed them time and On Nebraska quarterback VInee Ferragamo: ''He's got a real good arm and finds his receivers well.

Of course, he had a lot of time to find them, too. I knew they would throw plenty, but we were looking for more short patterns. When they ran the long routes. It messed us On Ferragamo's pass he tipped Inte the hands of teammate Perry Colston: "I knew Perry was behind me somewhere, but I was thinking Interception. When it was too high for me to catch.

It was automatic on the tip. We practice that all the time." Split end Mike Renfro "From running my patterns, I didn't think Nebraska's secondary was as strong individually as last year's, but everywhere else they seem stronger. It was a good football game the first quarter, then boom." On Nebraske passing attack vs. TCU's hearlded attack: "Nebraska throws the ball a lot better than I expected. The difference had to be In protection.

Our quarterbacks lust didn't have much time to throw the ball. This was definitely the worst passing game we've had for a long time." Flanker Vernon Wells "I was getting open just like always, but Jimmy Dan didn't have time to find me. There rush was the best we've seen." Wells and Renfro both ranked among the top 20 receivers In the nation coming into the Nebraska game. On the punt fumble recovered by Nebraska when Wells got his helmet knocked off: "I don't know what happened. Somebody just came in and kind of clotheslined me.

I guess I should have called for a fair catch, but it's past history now." Quarterback Jimmy Dan "That was some pass rush. They were even coming with both linebackers sometimes. I don't know what happened. We played real good the first of the game and then we just lost It. The rain didn't bother us at all, but the rush sure did." Comparing this years' Nebraska team with last years': I think this team is every bit as good as last year.

They're equally good on both offense and defense." Offensive coordinator Tommy Rnnnefai "The weather didn't help us. We live on the pass and it was lust too slippery. Nebraska is good. They have such a control type of defense that they won't let you score. Any defensive back in America can play with that defense.

Anytime you cdntain a passing game with those two defensive tackles and the middle guard and sometimes an end rushing, the opponent is in trouble." SEATTLE (UPI) Indiana fullback Rick Enis scored his se- ccmd touchdown of the day on a plunge midway in the fourth quarter and the Hoosier defense stopped a Washington drive on the Indiana 14 late in die game to lead the mg Ten team to a 2014 victory over the Huskies Saturday.

"The defense gave up two or three big plays Osborne recalled. "It could have been a calamity Osborne said the NU passing game evolved because of the way TCU played its secondary. The four-man front took away some running ability until adjustments were made In the meantime, the TCU defense dictated passing. Osborne was unhappy that the officials keeping the ball dry. no excuse for that, we had plenty of There was an excuse for the wet field Up until the completion of the game.

I slipped when I made a move The Buskers had to settle for a field goal on the next play. Later in the game he said he dropped a ball near the sidelines simply because it was wet and slid through his hands.

Nebraska concludes its on- conference schedule here Saturday against Miami-Florida and then opens a seven-game swing through the Big Eight Conference on Oct 9 at Colorado Cornhusker Quotes Cornerback Dave Butterfield "I never thought about signaling for a fair catch on; that punt (which he returned 87 yards tor a touchdown). Even though I was back pretty deep, it didn't seem that high. I thought it would come down before the (TCU) coverage could get to me," Split End Bobby Thomas "I probably should have had a third touchdown pass. The one in the corner of the end zone was well thrown, but my elbow hit the ground when I dove tor it and the ball jarred loose." "A wet field really works to the advantage of the receiver. The defensive man has to to my moves, and he doesn't know which way I'm going to cut.

He's much more likely to slip." Wingback Everett After crunching the TCU punt returner the split second he caught the ball: "I wouldn't mind it it they put rne on the kickott coverage team. That's the first solo tackle I've had since high school. I loved it." Quarterback Randy Garcia On Missouri's victory over No. 2 rated Ohio State: "Nothing Missouri does surprises me. Some teams just.

seem to get 'up' tor the big games. I just hope we keep rolling like we are." Quarterback Vince Ferragamo "We were planning to mix it up between running and passing. But the passing game established Itself first. On a wet field the advantage is with the offense, especially with passing. "The defense TCU was using almost dictated passing I didn't know about the record (tour TD passes in one game) until after the game That doesn't matter anyway I just want us to keep winning.

"The credit really goes to the offensive line tor the good protection they gave me and the receivers They ran great routes to get open and did a tine job of catching a wet ball." Defensive tackle Mike Fultz "Knowing they would do a lot of passing, we worked especially hard on our pass rush techniques this past week. They tried to sprint out at first Once they found they couldn't get outside our containment they had to drop back. That made It easier tor us to put on a strong rush." I-back Dale Zabrocki About his sprainod ankle after scoring his first touchdown tor Nebraska: "My toot got anchored in the AstroTurt in the end zone. It's not a bad sprain." Center Tom Davis About the use ot a towel under the ball tor the center snap: "It didn't bother me. In tact, it helped, I could dry my hands on it before the snap.
