Rodgers Terms Nebraska A 'Great' Football Team Rv DON BAKER *Instant Kansas Sports Editor* Pepper Rodgers was dismayed but not totally dejected. His Jawahays had just fallen to a death, and their user group, 41-20, knocking them off first place in the Big Eight. Laying on equipment bags in the KU kocker room with his head propped up against the wall, Rodgers analyzed the Hinkers "They're great," he said. "They're great both ways, of fessively and defensively. They deserve their high ranking." Pepper did not express unhappiness with the KU perforators, but Jayah moved the ball better than any team this year against Nebraska rushing for 247 yards and for 127 for 374 yards total offensives. Nebraska came into the race ranked fifth by one wire. He had not yet been able but will probably move up this week on his way to Nebraska, coupled with the 30-14 loss by Mississippi (who was ranked just ahead of Nebraska) to Southern Arkansas. "I thought they (KU) played pretty good." Rodgers said. "Like I say, Nebraska is great. I give them full credit." For the second straight year against Nebraska, questionable officially hampered KU's efforts and left some fans in a rage of controversy. But, for the second straight year, Rodgers refused to attribute the loss to the team's problems, the Cornhuskers full credit "I didn't question the question," Rodgers said with no emotion showing on his face. "I think I should do it the best they know how." The loss left the Jayhawks with the power they needed, and conference log and at the same time took some of the wind out of the RU sails in its comeback Asked how the loss would emotionally effect KU, Rodgers said only. "I don't know, I don't know." KU running back Steve Conley, who for the second straight week拔出18分, was outstanding running, was more positive about the team's rear end. "We'll be back," Conley insisted. "This won't have that bad an effect on us at all." Conley, a junior from Arlington Heights. HI, was the game's leading runner with 91 yards in only 10 carries. But, exhibiting the strong team unity KU has been his year, Conley was not pleased. "I can't be pleased with my performance because we lost." he explained. "If we had won I probably would be." The general attitude of many KU players was that of disappointment but also determination and self confidence.

Across the field Nebraska coach Bob Devaney, the winning team in the country Jahawks to Jahawks for their strong effort. "I was very much concerned I heard of the game, and the about the game. "Boycott," I "Kansas moved the ball better against us than anyone we've done." Devaney reserved most of his praise for the KU offense. "Let's give credit to Kansas" offense," Davenay said. "They played a fine offensive game. They played the big screenline screens and the dive plays very well. They scared hell out of us all the way through." It was a frustrating day for Kansas. The Jayhaws played well but were simply outmatched by the Cornhuskers. Rodgers expressed the frustration when he lamented, "They would have beat us no matter what. They were just great."

Perfect time for an upset, right? KANAS CITY, Mo.—It's been happening Big Eight Conference, there's a big upset. It started two weeks ago, Colorado, fresh from a 41-13 pasting of Penn State, visited Manhattan and came on the short end of a 21-20 score against Kansas and knocked the Wildcats last week when Kansas engineering a 21-15 victory, also at Manhattan. Saturday the Big Eight's newest virus spread to the West. Probably Colorado had carried the germ back to Boulder with them two weeks ago. But this time, it was Oklahoma benefiting as the Sooners scored a 23-15 turn around over the Buffs. game, it was a contest where one team dominated play on the filb but the other won the game. Colorado had 24 first downs to the Sooners and 438 yards total offense to the Sooners' 13. The victory left Oklahoma one of only two teams unbeaten in conference play. Nebraska Kansas State muffed several scoring opportunities and never really delivered the ball. Lyman Dickey hit 16 of 23 pass but a pass interception by Clarence Scott set up one touchdown from the one-yard line and a two-point shot by Haworthy honeymoon accounted for the other. Missouri fought valliantly without its injured stars, but Notre Dame, as expected, had too much in the second half.
