2B Monday, November 7, 1994 BIG EIGHT FOOTBALL ROUNDUP UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Business as usual for the'Huskers but with a twist: Berringer airs it out Football: Continued from Page 1. "We didn't expect them to throw at all," said Kansas senior linebacker Don Davis. "When you're out there in man coverage, it's hard if you don't get any pressure on the quarterback." The Jayhawks, who had averaged 259 yards rushing coming into the game, only gained 141 yards on the ground against a defense that often stacked all 11 defenders within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. "They also stacked up against the run," Mason said. "And, we're a lead run team. You've got to be able to execute your passing game. We had difficulty doing that early in the game. "But, I thought the guys played hard. I thought they never gave up. I thought they played better as the game went on." The fact that Kansas scored just as many second half points as the Cornhuskers, seven, was no consolation to the Jayhawks. "By that time, we really needed to mount. a big comeback," Mason said. In the end, it came down to Nebraska taking care of business. After rushing for 135 yards in the first half, the Cornhuskers dominated on the ground in the second half, gaining 201 yards on the ground. "We prepared well, and we came out and played hard," Nebraska wingback Clester Johnson said. "This is a team that is not going to be denied. Mainly the players say, 'Don't lose your focus,' because every game is a big game." Kansas-Nebraska Game Statistics Team

K-State rises in the polls Tigers lose to Sooners Buffaloes beat Cowboys in weekend matchups The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nebraska retained its top ranking with a convincing victory over Kansas Saturday while Kansas State edged dizzyingly close yesterday to cracking the top 10. The top-ranked Huskers added another disappointment to Kansas' season with a 45-17 victory in Lincoln on Saturday. The Wildcats moved up four spots in the poll to No. 11 with a 38-20 victory over winless Iowa State in Manhattan. Kansas State was just 21 points short of No. 10 Colorado State in the voting "We were not able to do the things we wanted to do because they're too good," Cyclones coach Jim Walden said of Kansas State — words that would have stunned Big Eight observers a few scant years ago. In other Big Eight games, Oklahoma stopped Missouri 30-13 in Norman and No. 7 Colorado defeated Oklahoma State 17-3 in Boulder Huskers quarterback Tommie Frazier is destined to watch from the sidelines as Brook Berringer takes the huskers as far as he can "If you are able to stop the run, they are going to go to Berringer throwing the ball," Mason said. "I was surprised they threw the ball as well as they did." May's four touchdown passes tied the team record. Kansas State (6-2, 3-2) has a pretty good passer in Chad May, whose four touchdown passes yesterday gave him a career-record of 30 touchdowns. May, who has played less than two full seasons, broke the record of 29 set by Lynn Dickey in 1968-70. "I'm happy that I was able to get the record personally," May said. "It doesn't mean much team-wise, but it is a great personal record." Kansas State, which has games left with Missouri and Oklahoma State, seems poised for a good bowl bid for the second straight year. Iowa State (0-8-1, 0-4) needs wins against Colorado and Nebraska to avoid a winless season. Coach Jim Walden had words for the officials, none of them kind. toward the elusive national championship. Frazier is out for the season with persistent blood clots in his leg. Kansas (5-4, 2-3) felt it had to stop the run, and ended up making itself vulnerable to Berringer's passing. Brook Berringer Nebraska quarterback, in reference to his three-touchdown, 267-yard performance against Kansas Saturdu "Obviously when you go up against a team averaging 370 yards rushing, you have to stack the ball against the run," coach Glen Mason said. "I'm done proving myself, so don't even ask," Berringer said as the Huskers went to 10-0, 5-0 in the Big Eight. Berringer threw for two touchdowns and 267 yards, the most for a Nebraska quarterback since David Humm passed for 267 yards against Missouri in 1972. "Our game plan was formed around what (Colorado coach) Bill McCartney last week. We had to get the ball to the split ends, the receivers, to prove ourselves, so that's what we did," Berringer said. "We haven't won a game and as far as I'm concerned I haven't seen one officiating crew my team wasn't better than," said Walden, who announced his resignation Thursday. Missouri coach Larry Smith also thought he saw some missed calls in Norman. "They're sleepy," he said. "The worst group I've ever seen in college football. Those guys stink. "If you have total control and a 50-50 even shake, then you have no reservations. But when you feel you don't, then I have a problem with that." Smith said. Missouri (3-6, 2-3) was in the game at 17-13 in the third quarter when Frazier broke a 31-vard touchdown run for the Sooners (5-4-3-2). The Tigers thought they had recovered a fumbled kickoff ahead of Frazier's run. One official signaled that they had, another said they had not, and the Sooners retained possession. Colorado (8-1, 4-1) struggled for a win as Kordell Stewart ran for one touchdown and passed to another. Rashaan Salaa rushed for 174 yards, but the Buffaloes managed just three points in the second half. The Buffaloes had 399 yards of offense, but could not find a way to the end zone. Oklahoma State (3-5-1, 0-4-1) led 3-0 in the first quarter when Stewart stepped back to pass, noticed the entire right side of the field was vacant, tucked the ball away and ran untouched for a 27-yard touchdown.
