the eight he tried to find tight end Homer May on a quick route May had split the seams but from nowhere came safety Bill Kosch He took the ball almost out of hands had up his steam and the Aggies all mving the other way He danced 95 yards untouched although Steve Burks have good but futile chase eeling fat and happy Nebraska forgot momentarily about the swiftness with which McElroy strikes He had that seven points back in only 14 seconds with his 96 yard burst 1 his explosion the inevitable because he had come so close in all three games this season Analyzing the total outlook the game could be compared to a pair of fighters The champ had both the defense and the knockout punch and his challenger on! a wicked 7 36 3 4 58 DESPITE THIS discouraging amount or lack of amount of there was encouraging light slipping from the shadows Sophomore Mark Green replaced Lex James after the first series of the third period when James reinjured his left thumb At the time the Aggies had only 16 total yards and one first down The 6 3 215 pounder Odessan guided the Aggies mainly on his own bullish running ability to the other 84 yards of offense 43 of which he himself rushed for Nebraska could mount only three sustained drives against the inspired Aggies The first period almost went scoreless until 215 pound halfback Bill Olds broke wide and open on a quick pitch end sweep and By WCRUSE Eagle Staff Writer AUSTIN University of Texas coach Darrell Royal commenting several years ago on the lack of the passing attack waxed wise that three things can happen when the ball is put into the air And Royal quipped two of are bad newsmen in attendance that Nebraska completely blow the Aggies out of the tub in the second half because the defense was having to work so much of the game The Huskers ran off 81 offensive plays to only 53 for the Aggies In fact the Huskers had 304 of their 413 total yards in the first half on 52 plays to wily 23 for AH the defenders could be cited for outstanding play but a few who stuck out were Hitt Dusek Grady Hoermann Bill Wiebold Kent inley and Odom quickly as a mosquito escapes your swat He put a move on the final Aggie defender Lee Hitt which left the cornerback out of position and it was free sailing the remainder of the way THE PLAY accounted for 36 yards to the Tech 11 at which point Wiggington began his busy day by getting the initial Texas six pointer That touchdown and the extra point kick by Steve Valek stood up for a 7 0 Texas first half lead that as it turned out would have been enough points for the Longhorns now 2 0

Conference opener I for both clubs Prior to game time the big suspense story was over whether or not Eddie Phillips Texas regular quarterback would be able to start for the Longhorns Phillips did not

end zone from 11 yards out in the first half for first touchdown and then rced in from six yards for the second score That first scamper by Wiggington came after a short 20 yard punt one of many

impressive stats but no wins the Vikings needed a victory bad so Dickey took a pitchout on an option sidestepped one tackler and scampered 59 yards for the lone touchdown of the evening and a 7 0 Bryan win over Temple A rain slick field that would have made it easier to play slip and slide than football saw no further serious threats the remainder of the game for the Vikings Using their almost ignored passing game in the last minutes of the game the Temple Wildcats geemed to move downfield with apparent ease and put a scare into the slim Bryan lead The Wildcats fighting for the touchdown that would at least tie the game marched to 38 with the throwing arm of Wayne ulton with less than two minutes remaining Three passes then went astray for the Wildcats and the Vikings took over with a

along the line of scrimmage and pitched the ball to Dickey just before Dusek bradded Kinney again and he fumbled with Bland Smith recovering on the Nebraska 48 Again the offense failed to move the ball and Todd Christopher downed Mitch 40 yard punt on the Husker five Midway into the second period McElroy gave the Huskers their first case of heart flutter He returned a punt 51 yards to the Husker 14 and was pulled down by the final man who had the field angle on him But after Marc Black got five up the middle second quarterback sophomore Tim Trimmier fumbled with Willie Harper recovering to halt the promising threat It was at that point that Tagge deftely guided the Huskers the 89 yards in 19 plays for the 13 0 lead The Aggies still were much in the same when the
