May Be Wrong liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii By Don Forsythe Journal Sports Editor Ulhmalely, like it or not, Paul Rogers is likely lo be a kicking specialist. But resisted it as long as played football. Come winter the strong-legged Rock Rapids, Iowa, senior is likely to be high on some pro football draft list. "1 see myself as a defensive halfback in the National Football the veteran smiles. In the meantime he'd prefer to be known as Paul Rogers the football player and not Paul Rogers the kicker.

somebody had recruited me just for kicking out of high never gone to that he insists. The Cornhuskers recruited him as a football player, as did Big Eight foes Colorado and Iowa State. Paul, as a prep, was the Iowa state Class A 440-yard champion and a :10.0 sprinter. That sort of speed helped him score 17 touchdowns for an 8-2 football team as a senior. SlIlllllHT KickillJ' Although he could boom a kickoff as far as the end while just a freshman in high school Paul insists he really spectacular in that department as a prep.

"I rotten kicker well, just average, maybe, in high he says. the summer before I came to Nebraska 1 worked nuite a bit on kicking. 1 figured somebody had to do the kicking and it might just a.s well be me. Something happened lliat summer and 1 started kicking with more he I'ecalls. large percentage of kicking is mental.

Before I go in to kick I think about the things 1 should do. When you get out there it should be all he says. been almost that for three seasons for Paul, who has contributed 145 point.s with his right toes. lie owns three of the four Big Eight records for field goal kicking (distance and most in a game and career) and is within five extra points of breaking the conference career record for extra points. But he doesn't plan on being a fixture in the record hook.

Suit Him After an start Paul has succeeded on six straight three-point attempts in recent weeks. have liked to have a few more chances early in the sea.son, but really just as soon kick an extra a.s a field he says. we'd either score or not get close enough to try a field goal.

It sort of goes in cycles. But our offense this year to gel up for it more the closer it gets tn the he says. With a Big Eight reciird 55-yard field goal to his credit Rogei's is a threat to score anytime the Cornhuskers get into enemy territory. The record boot against Kansas last isn't the most memorable in Rogers' mind, however. had better he says.

I'he 51-yard kick against two years ago could have carried about 10 yards more and the first one I kicked in the Sun Bow! last year (50 yards) carried well, He thinks a HO-yarder is jiossible. put the ball on and kicked it through from 60 yards, he says. is not trying to kick it too hard. That just screws up. really a matter of timing 1 try to kick extra points and field goals just the l.ike last year, Paul primed for a fa.si finish.

Rodgers says offensive tackle Tom Gaughaii would make the trip but Larry Brown a tight end, may Brown is nursing a bruised thigh. Colorado coach Eddie Crowder had the Buffaloes concentrate on stopping John Riggins, the conference rushing leader, and emphasized ball control early to keep the Jayhawks from establishing a running game.
