| 00:00:01 | There is one area that's
important today, and that is the
neutral zone, which perhaps you
may know is the length of the
football.
|
| 00:00:09 | That's the battle line.
|
| 00:00:10 | You're looking at it now.
|
| 00:00:11 | The team that seizes control of
this area will win.
|
| 00:00:14 | Face to face--on the left,
number 54, tom brahaney, an
all-american from oklahoma; and
on the right, number 70, rich
glover of nebraska.
|
| 00:00:21 | They and the men on either side
of them are not as publicized as
the backs or ends, btu the
victors in this area of warfare
this afternoon will be the
winners of the game.
|
| 00:00:30 | Going back deep now is the team
of nebraska, receiving.
|
| 00:00:33 | Number 20, the best in the
country at returning kicks,
johnny rodgers.
|
| 00:00:37 | Number 35 on the far side is
jeff kinney.
|
| 00:00:39 | Kicking off for the oklahoma
sooners in the red jerseys, john
carroll, number 10.
|
| 00:00:45 | A 25-mile-an-hour wind coming
from right to left.
|
| 00:00:49 | And here it is.
|
| 00:00:51 | This is an opportunity for the
real big red to stand up.
|
| 00:00:56 | After 60 minutes, we'll know
what team is at the top of the
spot.
|
| 00:01:03 | Nebraska in white.
|
| 00:01:04 | They have their scarlet football
pants.
|
| 00:01:06 | Oklahoma on the right with
crimson jerseys and white pants.
|
| 00:01:10 | We hope you're watching in
color, you're comfortable, and
as soon as that ball is touched,
the game will be underway.
|
| 00:01:15 | Johnny rodgers in his own end
zone.
|
| 00:01:17 | 5, 10,
15, 20.
|
| 00:01:20 | Coming out to the 25, and he was
defended about 5 yards of his
average kickoff return.
|
| 00:01:27 | Ok, bud.
|
| 00:01:28 | We're ready, as we look at the
nebraska line.
|
| 00:01:30 | Cox and list are the ends; with
white, johnson the tackles;
wortman and rupert the guards;
dumler is the center.
|
| 00:01:37 | While in the backfield, jerry
tagge, number 14; a great
rusher, 35, jeff kinney;
the fullback, bill olds, 44; and
johnny rodgers, number 20.
|
| 00:01:45 | Watch for him.
|
| 00:01:46 | At the moment, he's just outside
the near side tackle.
|
| 00:01:49 | We have cox also outside.
|
| 00:01:50 | So from the 26-yard line, first
down, nebraska.
|
| 00:01:53 | Jerry tagge.
|
| 00:01:56 | And his very first pass is
completed to johnny rodgers.
|
| 00:02:01 | >> I was really a little
surprised, chris.
|
| 00:02:02 | It is a strong wind from the
right of your screen to the left
of the screen.
|
| 00:02:06 | Oklahoma, however, with the
potent offense, having won the
toss, chose to kick the ball,
taking the wind, rather than to
unleash their own wishbone.
|
| 00:02:13 | >> Beautiful 7-yard gain.
|
| 00:02:14 | So it's second down and 3.
|
| 00:02:16 | There you see the wind.
|
| 00:02:17 | It's dying down just a bit,
but it'll gust.
|
| 00:02:19 | From the 33-yard line, nebraska.
|
| 00:02:21 | Jerry tagge, number 14.
|
| 00:02:25 | And to the deep back.
|
| 00:02:26 | It's jeff kinney, who is stopped
after a yard gain, and it's done
by mark driscoll, number 59, who
is joined by 43, aycock; 81,
qualls, in the linebacker
positions.
|
| 00:02:40 | We have raymond hamilton and
lionell day as the ends.
|
| 00:02:44 | Moore and selmon are the tackles
defensively, with pope, roach,
shelley, and o'shaughnessy
in the defensive backfield.
|
| 00:02:50 | No gain on the play.
|
| 00:02:51 | So it's third down and 3.
|
| 00:02:53 | A real test for the nebraska
offense right off.
|
| 00:02:55 | Rodgers to the far side.
|
| 00:02:58 | Tagge.
|
| 00:03:02 | And a two-yard gain.
|
| 00:03:04 | It doesn't appear that they made
it.
|
| 00:03:06 | So the oklahoma defense, which
hasn't received much publicity
because of the potent offense of
the wishbone, have done their
job, with aycock leading the
defensive move at about the 35,
bud.
|
| 00:03:17 | >> They're gonna have a
measurement, chris, but quite
positive you called it
correctly.
|
| 00:03:22 | Oklahoma's defense this
afternoon will play a very--
much of an attacking kind of
play.
|
| 00:03:27 | By that, I know that they feel
that they must force nebraska to
make it across the line of
scrimmage, and when you are
forcing everything, you're
vulnerable to the big, big gain.
|
| 00:03:39 | But nebraska will have the ball
all day if you don't play it
that way.
|
| 00:03:42 | >> All right.
|
| 00:03:43 | Now in to punt for nebraska,
we have number 26, jeff hughes.
|
| 00:03:49 | >> John shelley is deep for the
oklahoma sooners in the area of
the 28-yard line.
|
| 00:03:53 | He's looking at the ball.
|
| 00:03:54 | It takes a bounce in reverse and
finally, very wisely, downed at
the 32-yard line by doug dumler,
who snapped the ball.
|
| 00:04:03 | A 32-yard punt.
|
| 00:04:04 | And now, with the wind at their
back, after stopping nebraska--
nebraska moved the ball 9 yards,
were forced to punt.
|
| 00:04:10 | And there's the offensive line
for the sooners.
|
| 00:04:12 | Jack mildren, the quarterback.
|
| 00:04:13 | Roy bell is starting instead of
junior joe wylie, a sensation,
but you'll see him later.
|
| 00:04:19 | And the real sensation, number
30, greg pruitt.
|
| 00:04:22 | Leon crosswhite, number 17, is
the fullback.
|
| 00:04:24 | Here's the wishbone now.
|
| 00:04:25 | First and 10 for the sooners
with the ball at the 33.
|
| 00:04:31 | And leon crosswhite, number 17,
carried on the play.
|
| 00:04:36 | All-american larry jacobson,
number 75; and glover, number 79
in white, made the stop.
|
| 00:04:41 | >> Let's watch glover.
|
| 00:04:42 | We had him on against brahaney
just before we kicked the ball
off, and he's defeating brahaney
here and making the tackle of
crosswhite.
|
| 00:04:51 | >> Two all-americans having a
battle up front.
|
| 00:04:53 | Let's see them now.
|
| 00:04:54 | They're head to head right
there.
|
| 00:04:56 | Almost looks illegal.
|
| 00:04:57 | And it will be second down and 8
from the 35.
|
| 00:04:59 | Mildren trying to pull away but
couldn't.
|
| 00:05:02 | Jack mildren, as number 45, bob
terrio, who has made more solo
tackles on the nebraska
defensive unit
than any of the players.
|
| 00:05:09 | This program is being brought to
you as a special exclusive of
abc sports.
|
| 00:05:13 | Let's pause 5 seconds for local
station identification.
|
| 00:05:22 | All right.
|
| 00:05:23 | Number 45 in white, bob terrio.
|
| 00:05:25 | Tim welch is in at fullback for
oklahoma.
|
| 00:05:29 | Third and 7 for the sooners.
|
| 00:05:33 | And the wishbone is being
effectively defensed by the
nebraska unit.
|
| 00:05:37 | Mildren carrying, and jim
branch, number 51 in the white
jersey, made the stop right at
about the 38-yard line.
|
| 00:05:44 | It'll be fourth down and 5, bud.
|
| 00:05:46 | >> As the ball is snapped,
nebraska has 11 men coming
toward that line of scrimmage,
and they're gonna be a little
vulnerable for the play-action
passes that operate off the
wishbone fakes.
|
| 00:05:57 | Joe wylie back to punt.
|
| 00:05:58 | Johnny rodgers, number 20--
he returns punts as well as
kickoffs.
|
| 00:06:02 | It's high in the air, which is
what wylie wanted to do so
there'd be kick coverage.
|
| 00:06:06 | And rodgers gets away!
|
| 00:06:08 | Look at that.
|
| 00:06:10 | Johnny rodgers.
|
| 00:06:12 | Look at the moves by that
sensational player, a native of
omaha, and he is going, going,
gone.
|
| 00:06:20 | [Band playing]
bob terrio threw the last block
that got johnny rodgers into the
oklahoma end zone, and nebraska,
number one, leads 6-0 after
about 75 yards.
|
| 00:06:39 | Offside against oklahoma.
|
| 00:06:41 | ..
|
| 00:06:44 | Jerry tagge will get the final
chat with the referee.
|
| 00:06:49 | At the moment, however, we have
a timeout here at owen field in
norman, oklahoma.
|
| 00:09:06 | >> The offside penalty on the
try for the point has been
assessed on the ensuing kickoff,
which is about to happen.
|
| 00:09:12 | It's being teed up on the
45-yard line instead of the 40,
28 of the
first quarter--johnny rodgers,
best in the country, went 72
yards with a punt to score.
|
| 00:09:24 | Joe wylie and greg pruitt are
deep now, two fine runback
artists, as rich sanger has the
ball teed up at the center of
the field.
|
| 00:09:30 | Into the wind from the 45,
here's the nebraska kick.
|
| 00:09:34 | And it is bobbled.
|
| 00:09:36 | It's taken by greg pruitt at the
5.
|
| 00:09:38 | Coming out to the 10, makes his
outside move, and a very fine
tackle put on the play.
|
| 00:09:44 | Let's take a look at that
touchdown.
|
| 00:09:47 | >> Just a marvelous individual
effort.
|
| 00:09:49 | There's one missed tackle.
|
| 00:09:50 | If you're trying to tackle
someone as elusive as rodgers,
you do miss some.
|
| 00:09:53 | He almost is on the ground.
|
| 00:09:55 | Recovers.
|
| 00:09:57 | Watch this little wrinkle here.
|
| 00:09:59 | Back inside.
|
| 00:10:01 | He's past the first wall now.
|
| 00:10:02 | He head-fakes past the
official.
|
| 00:10:05 | ..
|
| 00:10:07 | And then turns on that speed.
|
| 00:10:13 | >> And now back live.
|
| 00:10:14 | From the 15-yard line, the
wishbone, with mildren running
it to the outside.
|
| 00:10:19 | Getting little yardage because
jim branch was the first to hit
him.
|
| 00:10:23 | Jacobson was second, and then
number 27, blahak of columbus,
nebraska, making the stop at the
18-yard line.
|
| 00:10:30 | >> That's oklahoma's fourth
offensive snap, and they've run
each one of them to the narrow
side of the field.
|
| 00:10:34 | Nebraska has been all season a
very wide-field-conscious
football team.
|
| 00:10:38 | They feel that they're still
that way,
and they want to straighten
them up and battle some.
|
| 00:10:42 | >> Jon harrison at the bottom of
your screen on the second down
and 7.
|
| 00:10:46 | Greg pruitt showing you his
style.
|
| 00:10:49 | Pruitt, one of the contenders
for the heisman trophy, gets the
first down, and the initial one
for the oklahoma sooners, who
are trailing 7-0 as we have
47 to go in the first
quarter.
|
| 00:10:59 | >> If you can't make the regular
offense from the wishbone
operate, the 3 options, the
counter play usual is open.
|
| 00:11:05 | This is the counter.
|
| 00:11:06 | Glover, moving quickly to the
outside against the first fake,
was cut down by brahaney.
|
| 00:11:10 | >> Now the wishbone.
|
| 00:11:11 | First and 10 from the 35.
|
| 00:11:14 | And leon crosswhite, the
fullback, number 17, goes for a
couple of yards.
|
| 00:11:18 | Incidentally, pruitt picked up a
beautiful gain of 17 yards.
|
| 00:11:22 | 5
yards this year.
|
| 00:11:26 | Scored 15 touchdowns, as we
isolate the middle guard, number
79 of nebraska, glover.
|
| 00:11:32 | >> This is glover again fighting
past brahaney, using his
superior strength, tackling
crosswhite.
|
| 00:11:39 | If the man over the center can
move to the outside and stop
the fullback, you've done a
great deal to take away the 3
options.
|
| 00:11:46 | >> Second down and 8 from the
37.
|
| 00:11:48 | Crosswhite carrying the ball, as
nebraska put in a new right
tackle on defense.
|
| 00:11:53 | Number 90, john dutton,
replacing bill jansen.
|
| 00:11:57 | The ball is across the 40 to the
41.
|
| 00:11:59 | ..
|
| 00:12:00 | ...39 Seconds remaining in the
first quarter.
|
| 00:12:02 | Oklahoma with the ball.
|
| 00:12:02 | Third and 4.
|
| 00:12:04 | Harrison comes to the near side.
|
| 00:12:10 | Mildren.
|
| 00:12:12 | Mildren appears to have made the
first down for oklahoma.
|
| 00:12:15 | There's some of the variety of
the wishbone attack.
|
| 00:12:19 | >> That's the counter option
play, the first fake being to
the bottom of the screen, then
the fake to pruitt.
|
| 00:12:24 | That's the fake on the play he
made 17 yards on just a few
moments ago.
|
| 00:12:29 | And then back out with the
regular outside option on the
end.
|
| 00:12:32 | Mildren keeping for the first
down.
|
| 00:12:35 | >> First and 10 from the 45.
|
| 00:12:36 | Nebraska leading 7-0.
|
| 00:12:38 | 9:14 To go in the first quarter.
|
| 00:12:40 | Oklahoma with the ball.
|
| 00:12:42 | Ooh!
|
| 00:12:45 | Hit hard by rich glover and
jacobson, 75, was greg pruitt,
number 30.
|
| 00:12:53 | Glover now already, bud, with 4
tackles.
|
| 00:12:57 | >> The oklahoma runners--you see
their phenomenal average per
carry.
|
| 00:13:01 | 3;
crosswhite, 5--
everybody averaging over 5 yards
per try for the season.
|
| 00:13:08 | >> This drive started at the 15.
|
| 00:13:09 | Now it's second and 9 from their
own 46, oklahoma.
|
| 00:13:15 | You'll see that nebraska linemen
and linebackers are huge.
|
| 00:13:20 | You'll also notice how agile
they are.
|
| 00:13:22 | Larry jacobson, number 75; and
terrio, number 45; are two of
the finest, converging on number
11, jack mildren.
|
| 00:13:29 | Here's that defensive unit for
nebraska.
|
| 00:13:31 | Atkins, 57; jacobson, 75;
45, terrio; 79, glover;
51, branch; jansen, 55, back in;
81, willie harper;
blahak, 27;
mason, 25;
kosch, 24;
and anderson, 18.
|
| 00:13:45 | >> And on third and long, most
teams are gonna throw the ball,
but the wishbone teams still
usually like to run, although
they're going with a long ball
here.
|
| 00:13:56 | >> Jon harrison pulling in what
was a hanging pass that wobbled
most of the way.
|
| 00:14:04 | Bill kosch, however, could not
defend against harrison, and
mildren, who has completed only
22 passes yet has thrown only 45
and 7 touchdowns, did the big
one.
|
| 00:14:16 | >> Let's take a look at it
again.
|
| 00:14:18 | Inside fake.
|
| 00:14:20 | And the ball may be wobbling in
the air, but it's right on the
target.
|
| 00:14:28 | >> First and 10 now from the
nebraska 21.
|
| 00:14:32 | Oklahoma, again from the
wishbone.
|
| 00:14:34 | Leon crosswhite, from hennessey,
oklahoma, carrying on the play.
|
| 00:14:39 | Rich glover again on the tackle,
as he gets a pat on the back
from 51, jim branch.
|
| 00:14:44 | Glover did get help in that case
from bob terrio, as the ball now
is marked at the 19.
|
| 00:14:50 | It's second down and 8.
|
| 00:14:51 | 17
to go, first quarter.
|
| 00:14:55 | >> Oklahoma has it where they
want it, right in the middle of
the field, where they can go
either way equally well.
|
| 00:14:59 | >> Harrison to the far side,
split away.
|
| 00:15:04 | Good gang tackling by the
..
|
| 00:15:10 | Bill jansen, 55; jim anderson,
18; and terrio, 45;
as we look at chuck fairbanks.
|
| 00:15:16 | In his sixth year here.
|
| 00:15:18 | He's a graduate of michigan
state, and there you see his won
and lost record as head coach.
|
| 00:15:23 | A man who was an assistant under
frank kush at arizona state,
bill yeoman at houston.
|
| 00:15:28 | And in his very first year with
the sooners, his team won the
big ten.
|
| 00:15:31 | They upset tennessee in the
orange bowl.
|
| 00:15:35 | Now it's a third down and 6.
|
| 00:15:40 | Leon crosswhite trying for the
yardage.
|
| 00:15:43 | Terrio is 45 in the nebraska
white jersey.
|
| 00:15:46 | >> Well, the defensive strategy
of nebraska is very apparent.
|
| 00:15:49 | Oklahoma being the great rushing
team, they are simply gonna
close everything down on the
running attack and attempt to
force oklahoma to throw the
ball.
|
| 00:15:58 | >> John carroll is the field
goal kicker, number 10, for the
oklahoma sooners.
|
| 00:16:02 | He's hit on 7 of 10 this year,
and on a fourth down and two
from the 13, this kick will come
from the 20 plus the 10 yards of
the end zone.
|
| 00:16:09 | On an angle, 30-yard attempt is
..
|
| 00:16:13 | Good!
|
| 00:16:14 | [Crowd cheering]
a 30-yard perfect kick by john
57 to
go in the first quarter.
|
| 00:16:26 | Abc and the ncaa combine to
bring you the thrills of college
football.
|
| 00:16:30 | With timeout, the score--
oklahoma 3, nebraska 7.
|
| 00:19:06 | >> Two teams, numbers one and
two in the nation.
|
| 00:19:08 | Nebraska averaging 39 points a
game, oklahoma 45.
|
| 00:19:10 | As we go into the second
quarter, it's nebraska leading
7-3 with a second and 4 at the
oklahoma 48.
|
| 00:19:21 | Jerry tagge.
|
| 00:19:26 | Tagge is waltzed right back to
midfield.
|
| 00:19:28 | Number 43 is co-captain steve
aycock from midland, texas, and
we have aycock isolated.
|
| 00:19:35 | Let's watch him.
|
| 00:19:35 | >> He's the middle linebacker.
|
| 00:19:36 | Moving down the line with tagge.
|
| 00:19:40 | Shaking dumler off, and as tagge
kept the ball to turn upfield,
aycock meets him at the
crossroads, stops him cold.
|
| 00:19:49 | >> Now a measurement for a
nebraska first down.
|
| 00:19:52 | 14, Tagge, in white.
|
| 00:19:54 | 88 FOR OKLAHOMA IS bruce DeLoney
of oklahoma city.
|
| 00:20:00 | And they missed the first down
by a few inches.
|
| 00:20:04 | Oklahoma with 4 first downs.
|
| 00:20:08 | Nebraska is looking for its
first first down of the game,
but they did have a 72-yard punt
return for the touchdown.
|
| 00:20:16 | Here it is.
|
| 00:20:19 | They get it.
|
| 00:20:20 | Jerry tagge of green bay,
wisconsin, the senior
quarterback, 6'2", 215 pounds,
gets more than enough, as the
ball is dead at the oklahoma 44.
|
| 00:20:30 | First down.
|
| 00:20:32 | >> The first quarter statistics
a great tribute to the oklahoma
defense, holding nebraska to 25
total yards.
|
| 00:20:38 | Oklahoma making 96 total yards,
and oklahoma keeping possession
of the ball, but the great punt
return by johnny rodgers is the
difference, with nebraska
leading 7-3.
|
| 00:20:47 | >> In a double-wing formation
with frosty anderson split wide
to the far side from the 44.
|
| 00:20:51 | First down.
|
| 00:20:52 | Nebraska with the ball.
|
| 00:20:53 | Tagge.
|
| 00:20:56 | Tagge throwing deep to rodgers.
|
| 00:21:00 | Rodgers covered on the play by
steve o'shaughnessy, number 18.
|
| 00:21:05 | And let me tell you, tagge threw
that ball about 60 yards in the
air.
|
| 00:21:11 | This saturday on abc, an
exciting college football
tripleheader.
|
| 00:21:16 | navy from philadelphia
at 1:00.
|
| 00:21:19 | Then a battle of the unbeatens,
alabama from
birmingham at 4:00 p.m.
|
| 00:21:25 | 00, it's the kodak
all-america show, aturing the
top 24 players as selected by
the football coaches
association.
|
| 00:21:31 | Second down and 10 for nebraska
at the 44 of oklahoma.
|
| 00:21:35 | 7-3 The score, nebraska.
|
| 00:21:38 | Nice fake by tagge.
|
| 00:21:39 | Flips it, then, at the last
moment to kinney.
|
| 00:21:44 | Little action in the backfield
that time, bud.
|
| 00:21:47 | >> He had all of the fakes.
|
| 00:21:48 | He started down the line, and
when rodgers comes over the
ball, believe me, that makes the
defense pay very sharp
attention.
|
| 00:21:54 | Good execution of the option by
tagge, also, after making a fine
fake to rodgers.
|
| 00:21:59 | >> So it was a 7-yard gain and
brings up a third down and 3.
|
| 00:22:02 | In the choirlike huddle,
this is the nation's number one
team, nebraska.
|
| 00:22:07 | Cox, 32, to the far side.
|
| 00:22:08 | Coming to the near side,
rodgers.
|
| 00:22:12 | And as a slot man to the far
side is kinney.
|
| 00:22:15 | Single set back.
|
| 00:22:18 | He carries the ball and gets the
first down.
|
| 00:22:21 | 215-Pound junior bill olds from
kansas city, kansas.
|
| 00:22:26 | First down, second of the game
for nebraska, and we're in the
second quarter with 13:59 to go.
|
| 00:22:33 | For those of you that just
joined us, it's 7-3, nebraska
leading.
|
| 00:22:37 | >> Aycock again, the middle
linebacker, moving away from the
nebraska center, dumler, and
then coming back in, but when
you're moving laterally and the
ballcarrier's moving ahead,
usually the ballcarrier wins the
battle, and that's the
[indistinct]
"
tagge fakes and throws down the
middle.
|
| 00:22:57 | Looked to be woody cox, number
32.
|
| 00:22:59 | Wait till we see the jersey.
|
| 00:23:01 | Correction.
|
| 00:23:02 | It's number 20, johnny rodgers.
|
| 00:23:05 | >> Chris, that's one of the best
executions.
|
| 00:23:07 | Here's the pass.
|
| 00:23:09 | Hamilton really put the rush on
tagge.
|
| 00:23:12 | He was not blocked at all
on the play.
|
| 00:23:14 | Tagge stood in there and threw
that perfect strike.
|
| 00:23:16 | >> Johnny rodgers caught 45
passes coming into the game, 10
touchdowns by way of passing,
and 5 by way of running.
|
| 00:23:25 | He's got one touchdown today on
a punt return.
|
| 00:23:28 | First and 10 from the 19 now.
|
| 00:23:30 | Slot "i" again.
|
| 00:23:31 | Tagge.
|
| 00:23:34 | And mixing up the plays to both
sides of the field.
|
| 00:23:39 | Derland moore, number 97,
in on the tackle for the
oklahoma defense that is really
being tested now, as this drive
started at the nebraska 46 as
pruitt fumbled the ball.
|
| 00:23:49 | >> Nebraska is making about 5 or
6 yards on first down each
time, and when you come in there
second down and 5 or second down
and 4, it really puts all of the
pressure on the defense.
|
| 00:24:01 | >> And the drive being sustained
keeps the ball away from the
nation's number one offense.
|
| 00:24:04 | On second and 5,
JEFF KINNEY of McCook, nebraska,
number 35, stopped.
|
| 00:24:12 | chris DeLoney one of the
players, along with number 66,
lionell day of houston, texas.
|
| 00:24:19 | Play is stopped at the 12-yard
line.
|
| 00:24:21 | So it'll be third down and 3.
|
| 00:24:25 | Third and 3.
|
| 00:24:26 | 7-3 The score, nebraska leading,
coming up to the 12-minute mark
of the first half.
|
| 00:24:30 | Nebraska in white, oklahoma--if
you're watching in color--in the
crimson jerseys.
|
| 00:24:34 | The slot "i" again, to the near
side of the field.
|
| 00:24:44 | What faking by tagge.
|
| 00:24:47 | >> Strong, chris, for a
quarterback.
|
| 00:24:49 | 6'2", 215 Pounds.
|
| 00:24:51 | He runs like a tailback.
|
| 00:24:54 | >> There he is with part of his
jersey torn, but nevertheless,
he carried the ball to the 5 of
oklahoma.
|
| 00:25:04 | Many banners here at owen field
in norman.
|
| 00:25:07 | The sun trying to peek through
again.
|
| 00:25:11 | First and goal now for the
cornhuskers.
|
| 00:25:21 | And jeff kinney carried on the
play.
|
| 00:25:23 | Kinney, the number one rusher
for the cornhuskers with 807
yards and 12 touchdowns, gets it
down to about the one.
|
| 00:25:32 | >> Fine job of checking signals
again by tagge.
|
| 00:25:34 | He'll automatic at the line of
scrimmage about half the time,
and he picked the hole there.
|
| 00:25:40 | >> This drive started at the
nebraska 46.
|
| 00:25:48 | Second and goal.
|
| 00:25:50 | Jeff kinney.
|
| 00:25:51 | Touchdown, nebraska.
|
| 00:25:53 | 13-3.
|
| 00:25:55 | And for kinney, it's his 13th
touchdown of the year,
THE SENIOR from McCook,
nebraska.
|
| 00:26:01 | Keith wortmaand al austin
blocking on the right side of
the line, helping him to get in.
|
| 00:26:07 | Up-and-over play.
|
| 00:26:09 | [Band playing]
09 of the
second quarter.
|
| 00:26:16 | >> And that drive typical of
nebraska, moving out with a
great combination of pass-run.
|
| 00:26:21 | >> 54 Yards, 12 plays.
|
| 00:26:23 | Rich sanger to try for the point
after.
|
| 00:26:26 | Tagge holding.
|
| 00:26:27 | Up and good.
|
| 00:26:34 | This is ncaa college football.
|
| 00:26:37 | With timeout, the score,
nebraska 14, oklahoma 3.
|
| 00:29:14 | >> On the near side, you see
greg pruitt, number 30; on the
far side, joe wylie;
awaiting the nebraska kick by
rich sanger following a 54-yard
drive, and on the 12th play,
jeff kinney went from the one to
get the touchdown of the
ballgame--an earned one,
indeed--against the oklahoma
defense.
|
| 00:29:32 | The other nebraska touchdown was
on a 72-yard punt return by
johnny rodgers.
|
| 00:29:37 | Oklahoma on a 30-yard field
goal.
|
| 00:29:39 | It's 14-3.
|
| 00:29:40 | There you see the ball teed up.
|
| 00:29:42 | With the wind at their back,
sanger's kick comes, and it's
looked at by greg pruitt.
|
| 00:29:47 | And incidentally, with the sun
out, you look right into the
sun, as pruitt was trying to
field the ball.
|
| 00:29:53 | >> Here's the scoring play
climaxing the nebraska 54-yard
drive.
|
| 00:29:58 | Tagge turning, giving the ball
to kinney as olds leads him into
the line.
|
| 00:30:03 | Kinney up and over into the end
zone for the score.
|
| 00:30:08 | >> And in order for oklahoma to
win today, their offense has to
keep trying to puncture the
nebraska defense.
|
| 00:30:15 | Nothing held back today, and
let's see what the sooners can
do now.
|
| 00:30:18 | First and 10 from the 20.
|
| 00:30:19 | Mildren on the wishbone.
|
| 00:30:22 | But as mildren saw the defensive
moves unfolding, he flipped out
to pruitt, but jim anderson,
number 18 of nebraska, was not
fooled.
|
| 00:30:34 | >> Theoretically, you can move
the ball with a running play no
matter what the defense is
doing, but nebraska is closing
their 4 secondary men--
mason, kosch, blahak,
and anderson--
so quickly that I believe
oklahoma is going to have to get
some passes if they're gonna
move against this great nebraska
defense.
|
| 00:30:49 | >> Second down and 10 from the
20.
|
| 00:30:52 | And there is leon crosswhite,
who injured himself earlier but
is back in.
|
| 00:30:59 | Blahak made the tackle at the
45--make it the 44--as leon
crosswhite went 22 yards and a
first down.
|
| 00:31:10 | >> Glover has been giving
brahaney a bad time, but here he
goes with the movement of
mildren.
|
| 00:31:18 | Brahaney really stays with him,
and here goes crosswhite.
|
| 00:31:23 | >> And on this next play, first
and 10 from the 44, the sooners
get up near midfield, trailing
00
mark of the first half.
|
| 00:31:34 | Mildren, carrying the ball,
comes up to the 49.
|
| 00:31:37 | So it'll be second down and 5,
as blahak and jansen make the
tackle.
|
| 00:31:41 | Ball actually between the hash
marks, 48 and 49.
|
| 00:31:46 | Oklahoma on the left.
|
| 00:31:53 | Harrison set to the near side.
|
| 00:31:56 | And they just keep trying with
that rushing aspect of the
wishbone.
|
| 00:32:01 | Crosswhite again, stalled by bob
terrio.
|
| 00:32:05 | >> Same play that crosswhite
broke a moment ago, but this
time, terrio does not overrun
it.
|
| 00:32:10 | Watch him, number 45.
|
| 00:32:12 | Instead of overrunning it, he
closes and is right on the
tackle.
|
| 00:32:18 | Beautiful form--
shoulder in, legs apart,
good balance, leg drive.
|
| 00:32:23 | >> Dutton is in at tackle,
replacing jansen on third and 5
from the 49.
|
| 00:32:29 | Jack mildren gets the first
down.
|
| 00:32:33 | One of the beauties of the
wishbone unfolding, as blahak
and branch make the stop at the
nebraska 44.
|
| 00:32:41 | >> One of the reasons oklahoma
has moved the ball so well all
year is that the back that the
quarterback fakes to then
becomes the blocking back.
|
| 00:32:49 | Crosswhite, after faking to the
ball, can go in and block.
|
| 00:32:51 | The lead halfbacks, pruitt and
wylie, block exceptionally well,
and the timing of where they are
in relationship to the ball is
very tough to defense.
|
| 00:33:00 | >> From the 44 of nebraska,
first down, oklahoma.
|
| 00:33:05 | Crosswhite angling off across
the 40.
|
| 00:33:08 | A moment ago, you saw the
texas-texas a&m score,
texas leading 28-0.
|
| 00:33:13 | It appears that texas will be
going into the cotton bowl.
|
| 00:33:15 | That means the liberty bowl will
be seen on abc december 20, the
NIGHT OF THE 20th, IT WILL BE
Tennessee-arkansas.
|
| 00:33:22 | Great battle.
|
| 00:33:23 | And the sugar bowl features
oklahoma and auburn.
|
| 00:33:29 | So now, from the 39, after a
5-yard gain, second and 5.
|
| 00:33:37 | ..
|
| 00:33:40 | Meets a group of cornhuskers.
|
| 00:33:42 | >> He's a great runner, one of
the most effective men in
college football, but if there
is no room to run, chris, almost
all the backs look alike.
|
| 00:33:50 | >> And there you see the yardage
situation.
|
| 00:33:53 | Third down.
|
| 00:33:57 | The ball is at the 37.
|
| 00:33:59 | Third down and let's call it 3.
|
| 00:34:02 | 44
to go in the first half.
|
| 00:34:10 | Mildren.
|
| 00:34:11 | First down for oklahoma.
|
| 00:34:14 | And, boy, when things do break
with the wishbone, they happen
in a hurry.
|
| 00:34:18 | >> What he did was just juke
them with the fake of the pitch.
|
| 00:34:20 | He turned upfield.
|
| 00:34:21 | Two men could have made the
tackle.
|
| 00:34:23 | I believe that it was mason and
kosch coming in on him, but that
little bit of the fake of the
pitch to pruitt, and they
ignored mildren as he cut
between them.
|
| 00:34:30 | >> An effective runner, as you
saw.
|
| 00:34:32 | He's an adequate passer, a boy
with quick hands and feet.
|
| 00:34:35 | And he has in most cases made
the correct decisions under
pressure, and there is the
stiffest pressure that anybody
could face in the nebraska
defense out here this afternoon.
|
| 00:34:45 | First and 10 at the 25 of
nebraska.
|
| 00:34:48 | Oklahoma with the ball.
|
| 00:34:49 | Harrison, 12, at the bottom of
your screen.
|
| 00:34:58 | Bud, that is just
beautifully executed.
|
| 00:35:03 | Glover, 79; 27, blahak.
|
| 00:35:05 | >> And this is the quarterback
counter that oklahoma has not
run so far this year.
|
| 00:35:10 | Mildren will make a quick fake
to the right of your screen, and
glover will move with the first
fake, and mildren simply slips
out around, and that fake helped
brahaney block, as he turned
glover very effectively here.
|
| 00:35:23 | >> Boy, two all-americans--
54 in the red jersey, brahaney
of oklahoma; 79, glover.
|
| 00:35:30 | >> The crowd is cheering, chris,
but if I were chuck fairbanks,
I'd rather have been a foot
short and had one more down.
|
| 00:35:36 | >> All right.
|
| 00:35:37 | Ball is at the 15 of nebraska.
|
| 00:35:39 | 03 to
go in the first half.
|
| 00:35:43 | 14-3, Nebraska leading.
|
| 00:35:45 | The number two team in the
nation, oklahoma, with the ball.
|
| 00:35:48 | >> The reason I said that, of
course, is they're on the
15-yard line.
|
| 00:35:50 | If they get more snaps to get it
in, they're more likely to get
it there.
|
| 00:35:55 | >> Mildren giving to crosswhite.
|
| 00:35:58 | Crosswhite, 6'2", 203 pounds, is
stopped by branch, 51.
|
| 00:36:04 | Bob terrio is out of the lineup,
number 45, having sprained his
knee.
|
| 00:36:10 | Pat morrell, number 40, is in
there at the moment, but we get
word that terrio will be back.
|
| 00:36:16 | So the ball is near the 10.
|
| 00:36:18 | Oklahoma with a second down and
6.
|
| 00:36:30 | Leon crosswhite, the junior from
hennessey, oklahoma, moves right
down to the 5-yard line.
|
| 00:36:38 | >> And the way the oklahoma
offense is using pruitt now, as
a back to fake to, is setting up
the inside plays for crossway.
|
| 00:36:47 | They're worried--nebraska--
logically about pruitt because
he is the gamebreaker.
|
| 00:36:53 | >> Number 45, terrio, the
linebacker, is in there again.
|
| 00:36:58 | And by the way, a great block by
ken jones of omaha, the right
guard, on the last play, as we
have a first and goal to go at
the 5 for oklahoma.
|
| 00:37:10 | Jack mildren.
|
| 00:37:13 | Had a little bit of a head
start, but terrio, 45, was at
his back, along with 25, dave
mason, and one more--
number 90, john dutton, a
sophomore from rapid city, south
dakota, as you see the situation
here in the first half.
|
| 00:37:27 | Clock running.
|
| 00:37:28 | 5:32.
|
| 00:37:29 | 14-3, Nebraska leading.
|
| 00:37:31 | And here is a second down and
goal to go.
|
| 00:37:34 | Let's call it the two.
|
| 00:37:35 | Oklahoma started this drive at
their own 20.
|
| 00:37:38 | Trying to cap an 80-yard march.
|
| 00:37:44 | 13Th play of this drive coming
up.
|
| 00:37:49 | There it is!
|
| 00:37:51 | Just waltzes in.
|
| 00:37:53 | Jack mildren of the sooners.
|
| 00:37:56 | >> And some block by crosswhite.
|
| 00:37:58 | >> Wasn't it beautiful?
|
| 00:38:00 | His 14th touchdown rushing.
|
| 00:38:03 | He is nearing the 1,000-yard
rushing mark, the quarterback,
3 per
attempt coming into this game.
|
| 00:38:12 | So now it is 14-9, and a big
point after coming up.
|
| 00:38:16 | We see carroll, number 10.
|
| 00:38:20 | 80 Yards, 13 plays.
|
| 00:38:21 | Carroll, 42 of 50 on the point
afters, puts this one through
the uprights.
|
| 00:38:30 | So what a game to decide which
team is number one in the
nation, as abc's exclusive
coverage of the game of the year
will continue with the score
nebraska 14, oklahoma 10.
|
| 00:40:54 | >> Well, ladies and gentlemen,
it's either the highest tribute
to the wind that I've ever seen,
or they perhaps will fake a
field goal attempt and pass, but
nevertheless, nebraska's kicker,
sanger, is out, and there's the
wind which is coming across his
back.
|
| 00:41:10 | Here's an attempt of 56 1/4
yards.
|
| 00:41:15 | >> Oklahoma's expecting a fake.
|
| 00:41:16 | There's no one back to handle a
kick if it's short.
|
| 00:41:20 | >> Well, they gave it the good,
old college try.
|
| 00:41:26 | So now, from the 20-yard line,
oklahoma, trailing by 4.
|
| 00:41:29 | First and 10 from the 20.
|
| 00:41:30 | 4 Minutes to go, first half.
|
| 00:41:33 | Greg pruitt carrying on the
play.
|
| 00:41:36 | Dave mason helping on the
tackle.
|
| 00:41:40 | Nebraska, in the white jerseys,
on the right.
|
| 00:41:42 | He was joined by jim branch.
|
| 00:41:43 | I have a bit of advice for you
housewives, mothers, and
girlfriends.
|
| 00:41:48 | Tell your sons and husbands
not to switch
dials at halftime, because we
have two great bands that'll be
entertaining--the cornhusker
band and the great band of
oklahoma.
|
| 00:42:01 | Second down and 8 from the 22.
|
| 00:42:05 | Carrying was mildren, and glover
was right there.
|
| 00:42:11 | >> Glover is really a remarkable
football player.
|
| 00:42:13 | He lines up right on the center.
|
| 00:42:14 | He's going on the slant charge
here.
|
| 00:42:17 | He almost overran it as he tried
to penetrate, and watch his
lateral speed as he moves back
in to tackle mildren.
|
| 00:42:25 | >> 10 Tackles thus far and 3
assists for glover.
|
| 00:42:29 | With the ball at the 26, less
then 3 minutes remaining, a
third and 4 for oklahoma.
|
| 00:42:37 | A beautiful block springing
mildren.
|
| 00:42:40 | Welch threw a great block, and
it's a first down for oklahoma,
as blahak makes the tackle at
the 39.
|
| 00:42:49 | >> And once again, the blocking
of the backs in the wishbone is
the key to making the offense
go.
|
| 00:42:55 | >> Getting the blocking back
into football, bud, it's sort of
pleasant to see, isn't it?
|
| 00:42:59 | >> Does a lot for the morale of
the linemen when they know that
the backs are blocking, also.
|
| 00:43:04 | >> Now the ball is at the 39 of
oklahoma.
|
| 00:43:06 | Time running out from the first
half.
|
| 00:43:08 | They trail 14-10
with a first and 10.
|
| 00:43:10 | Let's watch.
|
| 00:43:19 | Nice converging by glover again,
number 79, and one other
sooner--when he gets up and we
see--it's bob terrio, who's
shaken off his bruises to get
back into the defensive unit of
nebraska.
|
| 00:43:32 | The play stopped at the 43.
|
| 00:43:35 | It's a 4-yard gain.
|
| 00:43:37 | So it'll be second down and 6.
|
| 00:43:39 | >> They're gonna have to break
it for bigger yardage than that
if they're gonna score before
time runs out.
|
| 00:43:43 | >> Harrison set at the bottom
of your screen.
|
| 00:43:47 | And lofting one out.
|
| 00:43:48 | It is number 82, albert
chandler, beating joe blahak in
the battle for the ball.
|
| 00:44:02 | And that play went from the 43
of oklahoma to the 35 of
nebraska.
|
| 00:44:09 | >> Let's look at it again.
|
| 00:44:10 | There's the inside fake by wylie
and the beautiful throw by
mildren.
|
| 00:44:15 | He was well covered.
|
| 00:44:16 | >> 1:48 To go in the first half.
|
| 00:44:18 | 14-10, Oklahoma trailing.
|
| 00:44:22 | Good faking by mildren, giving
it to tim welch.
|
| 00:44:25 | A loose ball.
|
| 00:44:26 | Nebraska recovers!
|
| 00:44:29 | >> Before the game, chris, we
were talking about what would be
the key to victory, and
right there, we made the point--
>> rich glover.
|
| 00:44:36 | >> Well, we made the point,
really, that oklahoma's offense
was a high-risk offense because
they move along the line of
scrimmage, handle the ball close
to the line of scrimmage, and if
they fumbled the ball and lost
it more than 2 or 3 times, it
would be awfully hard to beat a
team as consistent and
error-free as nebraska.
|
| 00:44:50 | That's the second time oklahoma
has lost the ball by fumbles.
|
| 00:44:52 | >> Recovered by rich glover.
|
| 00:44:53 | With a first and 10 from the 27,
tagge once more.
|
| 00:45:01 | bruce DeLoney, a senior
defensive end.
|
| 00:45:04 | Let's see that fumble recovery
again.
|
| 00:45:07 | >> Glover taking on brahaney.
|
| 00:45:11 | Moving back, finding the ball,
and crosswhite had a good gain
on the play, about 8 yards.
|
| 00:45:16 | Glover pursuing, and as the ball
pops free, glover moves in to
make the recovery.
|
| 00:45:23 | >> And to think that glover is a
junior at the university of
nebraska.
|
| 00:45:29 | Second down and let's call it 10
from about the 27-yard line with
1:28 to go in the first half.
|
| 00:45:36 | Nebraska leading 14-10.
|
| 00:45:38 | Rodgers to the far side, cox to
the near side.
|
| 00:45:46 | Damkroger, number 46, charging
out to the 35, not enough for
the first down.
|
| 00:45:53 | Albert qualls and steve aycock,
the linebackers to this side of
the field, make the stop at the
35-yard line.
|
| 00:46:00 | So it'll be a third down and
two.
|
| 00:46:03 | 1:22 To go, first half.
|
| 00:46:05 | Shelley is back in the defensive
alignment for oklahoma.
|
| 00:46:10 | >> And chuck fairbanks is
breathing a little easier.
|
| 00:46:16 | >> There is chuck fairbanks.
|
| 00:46:20 | Woody cox and rodgers to the far
side of the field.
|
| 00:46:22 | Third and two.
|
| 00:46:28 | And a loose ball after being
..
|
| 00:46:35 | Where the play was stopped.
|
| 00:46:36 | Now, let's see where the
officials mark it.
|
| 00:46:39 | >> They had called it dead,
chris, before the fumble, and he
was short of the first down.
|
| 00:46:42 | >> All right.
|
| 00:46:43 | So in comes the kicker for the
nebraska cornhuskers, jeff
hughes, a native of burlington,
vermont.
|
| 00:46:52 | He'll have the wind to his back,
as we have a minute to go in the
first half.
|
| 00:46:57 | And let's see what players chuck
fairbanks--he sends joe wylie, a
fine kick returner, back deep
along with number 18, steve
o'shaughnessy;
number 19, geoff nordgren.
|
| 00:47:13 | >> And this is the one time you
certainly do not want your
kicker to outkick his coverage.
|
| 00:47:19 | >> Chuck fairbanks.
|
| 00:47:21 | Doug dumler will snap the ball
to jeff hughes with one minute
exactly on the clock here
to the south end of the field.
|
| 00:47:31 | Norman, oklahoma, about 20 miles
from oklahoma city.
|
| 00:47:37 | It's a quiet town of 60,000, but
it hasn't been quiet this past
week anticipating this battle.
|
| 00:47:47 | Here's the kick by hughes.
|
| 00:47:49 | The punt is on its way.
|
| 00:47:51 | Joe wylie, a junior.
|
| 00:47:55 | Couldn't make his moves and is
stopped at the 22.
|
| 00:47:58 | 51 Seconds left in the first
half, as dick rupert, the left
guard, made the tackle.
|
| 00:48:04 | This program is being brought to
you as a special exclusive of
abc sports.
|
| 00:48:07 | Let's pause 5 seconds for local
station identification.
|
| 00:48:17 | Don't forget, coming up after 51
seconds on the clock have
elapsed, two great bands from
the two universities will
perform.
|
| 00:48:25 | You'll enjoy it.
|
| 00:48:26 | Mildren calls his own number.
|
| 00:48:29 | ..
|
| 00:48:34 | Comes up to make the stop.
|
| 00:48:36 | John atkins joined blahak on the
play at the 27-yard line.
|
| 00:48:42 | ..
|
| 00:48:43 | Jack mildren, number 11, calling
signals now with a second down
and 5 from his own 27-yard line,
33 seconds to go, first half,
trailing 14-10.
|
| 00:48:56 | Joe wylie, number 22, coming up
near a first down.
|
| 00:49:02 | 29 Seconds, as you see.
|
| 00:49:05 | >> What I was talking earlier
about, chris--if the defense can
say, give them 8, give them 10
on a running play and if you're
willing to give them that kind
of yardage, it's very easy to
close on any kind of
ballcarrying plays.
|
| 00:49:15 | >> Clock running.
|
| 00:49:16 | First down play.
|
| 00:49:17 | Mildren looking to throw.
|
| 00:49:18 | Loops one out.
|
| 00:49:19 | It's coming in the area of
harrison.
|
| 00:49:21 | He has it!
|
| 00:49:22 | Harrison, as a helmet goes
shooting out.
|
| 00:49:26 | The defender, number 24, bill
kosch, lost the helmet, and the
play goes to the 24-yard line of
nebraska.
|
| 00:49:32 | >> Let's look at it again.
|
| 00:49:33 | There was a great inside running
fake here.
|
| 00:49:35 | Harrison just drifting down the
field, then turning it on.
|
| 00:49:38 | Kosch went back, didn't quite
see the ball, overran it.
|
| 00:49:44 | That's kosch overrunning it.
|
| 00:49:46 | >> First and 10 with the clock
running, and there is a
touchdown, oklahoma,
jon harrison!
|
| 00:49:52 | [Crowd cheering]
>> I don't believe that, chris.
|
| 00:49:58 | >> 78 Yards, 4 plays.
|
| 00:50:00 | Showing you the explosiveness of
the wishbone offense.
|
| 00:50:04 | And jack mildren coming into
this game had only completed 22
of 45 passes, but he ripped
nebraska with two passes in
particular to take the lead.
|
| 00:50:16 | 16-14.
|
| 00:50:18 | What a game.
|
| 00:50:20 | 5 Seconds left, as we'll have
the try for the point by john
carroll.
|
| 00:50:25 | It's up, and it's good.
|
| 00:52:33 | >> Yes, two touchdowns by
nebraska's johnny rodgers--
one each--jeff kinney one.
|
| 00:52:39 | Oklahoma has the lead, 17-14,
with about 11 minutes to go in
the third quarter.
|
| 00:52:43 | Nebraska recovered a fumble.
|
| 00:52:44 | First and 10 at the 47, and jeff
kinney spins into oklahoma
territory to the 47.
|
| 00:52:51 | >> Hit behind the line.
|
| 00:52:52 | Kinney is a man of great balance
and was able to slide right
through the first couple of
tackles.
|
| 00:53:00 | >> There you see the backfie
tagge, 14; kinney, 35; olds, 44;
and johnny rodgers, 20.
|
| 00:53:05 | Cox and rodgers, 32 and 20, come
to the near side of the field.
|
| 00:53:08 | In the slot is rodgers, number
20, on second and 4 from the
oklahoma 47.
|
| 00:53:15 | Kinney.
|
| 00:53:17 | Tough man to stop.
|
| 00:53:18 | Gets about 5 yards and an
APPARENT FIRST DOWN, as DeLoney
makes the tackle.
|
| 00:53:24 | First and 10 for the
cornhuskers.
|
| 00:53:27 | The cornhuskers are unbeaten in
29 games, ranked number one in
the nation.
|
| 00:53:35 | Oklahoma has not lost in 15
games, and the last loss was to
nebraska.
|
| 00:53:42 | There you see, 3 fumbles, losing
them, oklahoma.
|
| 00:53:46 | First and 10 from the 42,
nebraska.
|
| 00:53:49 | ..
|
| 00:53:51 | For about 3 yards, as hamilton
comes in to make the play,
joined by 97, derland moore.
|
| 00:53:58 | As college football's 103rd
season nears its end, athletes
in many exciting winter sports
are starting to compete.
|
| 00:54:05 | Your favorite college probably
has hockey, swimming, wrestling,
and basketball.
|
| 00:54:09 | Plan to follow some of the ncaa
action in your area during the
months ahead.
|
| 00:54:13 | Second down and 7 now, with the
ball at the 39.
|
| 00:54:20 | Running.
|
| 00:54:22 | Olds, number 44, carrying on the
play, as dumler snapped the ball
to tagge.
|
| 00:54:29 | Mark driscoll comes in on olds,
number 44 in white, joined by
DeLONEY.
|
| 00:54:34 | And the play is at the 35, a
gain of 4.
|
| 00:54:36 | So it's going to be third down
and 3.
|
| 00:54:39 | Lots of nebraska fans here
today, as we have a
record-breaking crowd of 63,385.
|
| 00:54:46 | Rodgers is flanked to the far
side.
|
| 00:54:48 | Cox is split to the near side
with kinney in the slot,
single set back.
|
| 00:54:54 | Tagge gets the first down and
more!
|
| 00:54:58 | Jerry tagge!
|
| 00:55:03 | Moving his way down inside the
5, as kenneth pope forced him
out of bounds.
|
| 00:55:08 | >> And nebraska, too, can run
the option play.
|
| 00:55:10 | Tagge cutting upfield as mildren
goes off the wishbone option,
putting nebraska in scoring
position.
|
| 00:55:16 | Let's take a look at it again.
|
| 00:55:17 | Spread formation.
|
| 00:55:20 | Kinney is the wingback.
|
| 00:55:22 | Kinney making a good block right
there to set up the run.
|
| 00:55:29 | >> All right.
|
| 00:55:30 | Back live, a first and goal for
the cornhuskers at the 3 of
oklahoma.
|
| 00:55:35 | Kinney and olds are the set
backs.
|
| 00:55:38 | Look at that move!
|
| 00:55:39 | Jeff kinney pulling away from
everyone for a 3-yard touchdown
romp, and now it is 20-17 as
nebraska has regained the lead
here in the third quarter.
|
| 00:55:50 | >> Let's watch kinney again.
|
| 00:55:51 | It doesn't look like there's any
daylight at all.
|
| 00:55:54 | He finds that crease as olds
makes a beautiful block for him.
|
| 00:55:58 | He hits the safety man and
drives right over him, keeping
his feet for the touchdown.
|
| 00:56:02 | Here, let's watch it again with
the ground-level camera.
|
| 00:56:04 | Great block by olds.
|
| 00:56:06 | There's that hip spin.
|
| 00:56:08 | Kinney in the end zone.
|
| 00:56:09 | Rich sanger will try for the
point after with tagge holding.
|
| 00:56:11 | The kick is good.

>> Back again at owen field in
norman, oklahoma, where the
cornhuskers are meeting the
sooners.
|
| 00:59:02 | 54 to go in the third
quarter, it's 21-17 as the
cornhuskers went 53 yards in 6
plays and now will kick into
the wind to joe wylie, 22, or
greg pruitt.
|
| 00:59:14 | Pruitt on the far side.
|
| 00:59:16 | >> And they'll spin-kick it
into the wind rather than
hanging it up in the air short
and giving those speed men a
chance to make a fine run-back.
|
| 00:59:25 | >> Here's sanger moving to the
ball.
|
| 00:59:27 | It's hanging in the air, coming
up short of the two great
run-back artists.
|
| 00:59:31 | Number 17 for oklahoma,
crosswhite, the fullback,
brings it out to about the
27-yard line, where the sooners
now, trailing after taking the
lead and forcing nebraska to be
behind for the first time this
year, have the ball.
|
| 00:59:44 | Jack mildren out on the field.
|
| 00:59:53 | >> And the fumble problem is
the key problem for oklahoma's
offense.
|
| 00:59:57 | They're moving the ball very
well, but the 3 fumbles that
they have lost have turned the
ball over to nebraska have kept
them from dominating the game
offensively.
|
| 01:00:05 | >> Jerry tagge on the phones
for nebraska.
|
| 01:00:06 | Meanwhile, out on the field,
jack mildren for oklahoma at
the 27.
|
| 01:00:09 | First down, and crosswhite
carries the ball across the 30.
|
| 01:00:14 | Nebraska led at the end of the
first quarter 7-3 on a 72-yard
punt return by johnny rodgers.
|
| 01:00:19 | Oklahoma kicked a 30-yard filed
goal--john carroll.
|
| 01:00:23 | And then jeff kinney scored for
nebraska, capping a 54-yard
drive, but, uh , oklahoma came
right back, going 80 yards in
13 plays to make it 14-10.
|
| 01:00:33 | Then oklahoma scored again,
mildren to harrison, to lead at
halftime 17-14.
|
| 01:00:40 | Now we have a second down and 7.
|
| 01:00:42 | Pruitt carrying on the play.
|
| 01:00:44 | >> They're certainly giving
pruitt no daylight at all.
|
| 01:00:46 | >> And bud mentioned "they,"
and speaking of they, it's the
nebraska group, which includes
57 adkins, 75 jacobson, 45
terrio, glover 79, 51 branch,
jansen 55, harper 81, blahak
27, 25 mason, kosch 24, and
anderson 18.
|
| 01:01:06 | They're set now as oklahoma has
a third down and 4.
|
| 01:01:10 | Ball between the 30 and 35, and
mildren--willie harper pinches
in from his right defensive end
position, and in case of help,
jim branch, number 51, was
there, too, so it's a punting
situation.
|
| 01:01:25 | >> Nebraska correctly
anticipating oklahoma would
pass.
|
| 01:01:28 | Harper starting in, pausing,
then turning it on.
|
| 01:01:34 | Getting back together with
righetti of nebraska.
|
| 01:01:38 | Oklahoma getting the big loss
and being forced to punt.
|
| 01:01:42 | >> So it's a fourth down and 16.
|
| 01:01:44 | The line of scrimmage--or the
snap will come from the 22 as
johnny--johnny rodgers is deep.
|
| 01:01:51 | Joe wylie's kick sailing high.
|
| 01:01:55 | Rodgers looks at it.
|
| 01:01:57 | Couldn't get even one step as
the coverage was good and
included tom brahaney, the
all-american center, number 54,
and dean unruh, number 60.
|
| 01:02:06 | 00 eastern time,
georgia-georgia tech from
atlanta, georgia.

there waiting to bring you that
game.
|
| 01:02:15 | At halftime of this event, the
downtown athletic club of new
york will make its annual
announcement of the heisman
trophy winner.
|
| 01:02:21 | Nebraska at their own 39.
|
| 01:02:23 | First and 10.
|
| 01:02:27 | Damkroger--maury damkroger,
number 46, who has alternated
fullback with bill olds,
carried on the play, and his
advance is out to the 44 for 5.
|
| 01:02:38 | Second and 5 with nebraska
44 to go in
the third quarter.
|
| 01:02:43 | >> They keep picking up that
big yardage on first downs,
which makes it very difficult
to defense them and stop them.
|
| 01:02:50 | >> Cox and rodgers are to the
far side, and that's what bud
wilkinson was referring to as
nebraska moves closer to
midfield, jeff kinney carrying
the ball this time up to about
the 49 and very close but
apparently not close enough for
a measurement.
|
| 01:03:10 | now the official indicates
that he would like a
measurement, and the head
linesman comes in.
|
| 01:03:16 | Wendell winkler and his crew.
|
| 01:03:19 | First down!
|
| 01:03:20 | Nebraska at the 49, their own
49.
|
| 01:03:24 | >> Nebraska's use of the i-slot
in this half has picked up
their offense tremendously.
|
| 01:03:30 | Oklahoma's defense has not been
able to contend nearly as well
with the i-slot, inside running
as they have with the rest of
the nebraska attack.
|
| 01:03:38 | >> Nebraska sends woody cox and
rodgers to this side of the
field, or the wide side, from
the own 49.
|
| 01:03:43 | First down.
|
| 01:03:44 | They lead 21-17.
|
| 01:03:47 | Kinney and damkroger are the
set backs.
|
| 01:03:51 | Kinney going wild here in the
second half.
|
| 01:03:56 | Mark driscoll making the stop
ON JEFF KINNEY from McCook,
nebraska, number 35.
|
| 01:04:03 | And the cornhuskers, showing
their might, have moved to the
36 of oklahoma, bud.
|
| 01:04:08 | >> That extra step of speed,
john shelley was coming up on a
perfect inside angle.
|
| 01:04:13 | Kinney saw him coming, just
turned on that little extra
burst, and was able to break
right past him.
|
| 01:04:18 | 8 average, 92
total yards on 16 carries.
|
| 01:04:22 | He's number 35.
|
| 01:04:24 | First down from the oklahoma 36.
|
| 01:04:32 | What a catch by johnny rodgers.
|
| 01:04:37 | Keith pope covering on the play
as rodgers tried to juke and
get more yardage, but the
completion moves nebraska to
the oklahoma 16, a gain of 20
yards.
|
| 01:04:49 | >> Let's watch rodgers as he's
breaking down the field in the
outside pattern.
|
| 01:04:52 | Tagge was running when he
through that ball, and he laid
it right on target.
|
| 01:04:57 | >> This drive started at the 39
of nebraska.
|
| 01:05:01 | They now are at the oklahoma 16.
|
| 01:05:04 | Rogers to the far side on a
wide slot position just inside
the split end--woody cox.
|
| 01:05:15 | Jeff kinney.
|
| 01:05:16 | 59 In the red jersey is mark
driscoll, and 43 is steve
aycock, two oklahoma
linebackers.
|
| 01:05:23 | No gain, second and 10 from the
16.
|
| 01:05:30 | >> And the pressure is really
on the oklahoma defense.
|
| 01:05:33 | Percentage-wise, they've done a
great job against nebraska,
holding them to 91 yards in the
first half.
|
| 01:05:38 | The cornhuskers have
straightened up their blocking
assignments.
|
| 01:05:40 | Been using this "i" setup, been
able to move much better here
in the second half.
|
| 01:05:43 | >> Second down and 10.
|
| 01:05:49 | Tagge.
|
| 01:05:51 | Receivers covered.
|
| 01:05:54 | Mark driscoll making the tackle
at about the 11-yard line.
|
| 01:05:58 | Another 5-yard pickup as they
just churn it out.
|
| 01:06:02 | >> And a great move by tagge.
|
| 01:06:04 | As you said, chris, everyone
was covered, and instead of
hesitating and taking a loss,
he was able to turn on the
speed and move inside of day,
picking up that 5-yard gain
instead of getting about 4-yard
loss.
|
| 01:06:15 | >> Rusty anderson, number 89,
who goes to the far side as a
split end, may have brought in
a play.
|
| 01:06:21 | It's a double-wing formation on
third and 5 at the 11 of
oklahoma.
|
| 01:06:28 | There's the pass.
|
| 01:06:31 | Johnny rodgers short of the
oklahoma goal line.
|
| 01:06:36 | John shelley, number 33 in the
dark jersey--
>> you got to respect rodgers
deep, and when you respect him
deep, it's very easy for him to
get open short.
|
| 01:06:45 | Look at him breaking to the
outside here as he made the
deep fake downfield.
|
| 01:06:50 | >> Nebraska trying to cap a
61-yard drive as they now have
a first and goal at the
half-yard spot.
|
| 01:06:58 | It darkens here in norman,
oklahoma.
|
| 01:07:01 | Getting more overcast.
|
| 01:07:02 | As anderson goes to the left,
kinney and damkroger at the set
backs, and tagge tries to go in.
|
| 01:07:13 | Have to credit the whole middle
of the oklahoma defense,
including raymond hamilton.
|
| 01:07:19 | >> A first down that close to
the goal line, chris, many
coaches don't believe there's
any point in taking a chance on
handing the ball to anyone else.
|
| 01:07:26 | The quarterback ought to be
able to get it over from the
first down on the one-yard line.
|
| 01:07:32 | >> Jerry tagge--215-pound, 6'2"
quarterback from green bay,
wisconsin.
|
| 01:07:37 | Second and goal from the half.
|
| 01:07:46 | But jeff kinney goes in, so
jeff kinney has scored the last
two touchdowns for nebraska,
going in from the half-yard
spot, and the cornhuskers take
a 10-point lead, 27-17.
|
| 01:08:01 | Kinney now with 14 touchdowns
for the year.
|
| 01:08:06 | >> Tagge doing a good job and
the line do a job.
|
| 01:08:08 | He took a long, long time
calling the snap count down
there.
|
| 01:08:11 | The defense is ready to go, and
the longer you make them freeze
in position and your men know
when the ball is gonna be
snapped, the less likelihood
there is that they can get off
the mark with you.
|
| 01:08:21 | >> 61-Yard drive, 9 plays.
|
| 01:08:24 | Rich sanger trying for the
point after.
|
| 01:08:26 | Tagge holding.
|
| 01:08:27 | It's good.
|
| 01:08:30 | 38 Remaining in the third
quarter of play as the game of
the year in college football,
being seen here on abc.
|
| 01:08:37 | With time-out, the score
nebraska 28, oklahoma 17.
|
| 01:10:53 | >> And now further pressure has
been put on the
number-two-ranked team oklahoma
as the result of another
touchdown by jeff kinney as
he's scored two in about 5
minutes.
|
| 01:11:00 | 38 to go in the third
quarter, 28-17 nebraska leading.
|
| 01:11:04 | Rich sanger has the ball teed
on the 40.
|
| 01:11:07 | Kicking into the wind, and deep
we have greg pruitt, number 30,
and joe wylie, number 22.
|
| 01:11:13 | Here's the kick.
|
| 01:11:14 | Short again.
|
| 01:11:15 | Crosswhite looking at it, but
stepping forward is number 40
for oklahoma, steve dodd of
lindsay, oklahoma.
|
| 01:11:22 | He is a sophomore.
|
| 01:11:25 | So it'll be oklahoma trying to
move the ball, which they must
at this point of the game, from
about their own 28.
|
| 01:11:32 | Nba basketball premiers on abc
eastern time
as the baltimore bullets take
on the atlanta hawks from
atlanta, georgia, and appearing
for the first time as an expert
commentator on our professional
games of the week bill russell.
|
| 01:11:50 | Jack mildren stepping forward
from his own 28.
|
| 01:11:56 | 45 Is terrio.
|
| 01:11:58 | And you see glover again,
number 79.
|
| 01:12:01 | >> Oklahoma faking to pruitt
here.
|
| 01:12:03 | There's glover driving brahaney
back, freeing himself from
brahaney.
|
| 01:12:07 | There's pruitt coming in,
trying to block him, and he
still moves away from pruitt
out to mildren.
|
| 01:12:13 | He is some football player.
|
| 01:12:14 | >> Harrison 12, the split end,
comes to the near side of the
field on second and 5 for
oklahoma from their own 33.
|
| 01:12:21 | Glover says, "oh, no," to tim
welch, number 45.
|
| 01:12:26 | Glover then joined by 250-pound
larry jacobson, winner of the
outland trophy as the
outstanding lineman of the
year, number 75.
|
| 01:12:35 | >> I don't recall, chris, ever
seeing a middle guard that so
dominates an offensive team as
glover.
|
| 01:12:39 | We had him against colorado,
and he played a magnificent
game, and brahaney is the
all-american center, and he's
handling brahaney most of the
time, getting through one or
two blockers moving to the ball.
|
| 01:12:50 | >> Just beyond the 33.
|
| 01:12:52 | It's a third down and 5 for the
sooners.
|
| 01:12:54 | 2:29 To go in the third quarter.
|
| 01:12:56 | They trail by 11.
|
| 01:12:58 | And here is a pass thrown, and
it is complete to jon harrison.
|
| 01:13:03 | Harrison trying to get away.
|
| 01:13:05 | Can't!
|
| 01:13:06 | But oklahoma has moved to the
15 of nebraska.
|
| 01:13:13 | A pass thrown by jon harrison
to albert chandler, number 82.
|
| 01:13:19 | >> Let's take a look at it
again.
|
| 01:13:20 | Harrison is he wide receiver, a
split end.
|
| 01:13:22 | Here is coming back.
|
| 01:13:23 | The fake of the play was the
left of the screen.
|
| 01:13:24 | There's the lateral as he
picked it off.
|
| 01:13:26 | Instead of having pruitt pick
it off.
|
| 01:13:28 | He was rushed.
|
| 01:13:30 | Chandler was open on the play.
|
| 01:13:31 | The ball a little underthrown,
but oklahoma has the first down.
|
| 01:13:34 | >> A 41-yard play to the 16 of
nebraska.
|
| 01:13:37 | First down.
|
| 01:13:39 | The exciting wishbone.
|
| 01:13:41 | Mildren.
|
| 01:13:44 | Look at him pick his way
between folks.
|
| 01:13:48 | Quick feet.
|
| 01:13:49 | Bob terrio, 45, stopped him
just inside the 10 at the 8.
|
| 01:13:55 | It's an 8-yard move, though, by
mildren, number 11, as the
..
|
| 01:14:00 | >> He was trying to twist his
ankle.
|
| 01:14:05 | >> There's the yarding--yardage
situation, bud.
|
| 01:14:08 | >> Oklahoma getting very close
to 400 yards.
|
| 01:14:11 | Nebraska having picked up most
of their yardage here in the
second half.
|
| 01:14:16 | >> Which is unheard of, that
much yardage against nebraska.
|
| 01:14:19 | Second and two.
|
| 01:14:20 | Mildren.
|
| 01:14:21 | His own number again, and it
appears that he has the first
down.
|
| 01:14:28 | First and goal to go, oklahoma.
|
| 01:14:30 | Larry jacobson, number 75, and
24 bill kosch on the tackle.
|
| 01:14:35 | Mildren now has gained 101
yards rushing on 23 carries.
|
| 01:14:42 | He has scored one touchdown.
|
| 01:14:44 | He has thrown a touchdown to
harrison.
|
| 01:14:47 | So now it is first and goal
05 to go in the third
quarter.
|
| 01:14:51 | The ball at the 3.
|
| 01:14:55 | No gain.
|
| 01:14:57 | Jacobson.
|
| 01:14:59 | Boy, he's beginning to show why
he's an all-american, number 75
in white, bud.
|
| 01:15:03 | >> He just kind of overpowered
tim welch.
|
| 01:15:04 | The fake was to welch, and he
went in to try to hit jacobson,
but he didn't quite get far
enough outside of him to cut
him to the inside so that
mildren could keep going wide.
|
| 01:15:14 | >> Clock running, as you see.
|
| 01:15:15 | Nebraska leading 28-17 after
trailing in the ball game 21-17
at halftime.
|
| 01:15:26 | Touchdown jack mildren!
|
| 01:15:29 | So the boomer sooners go
marching from their own 28, a
72-yard drive in 7 plays, and
what an exciting game, bud.
|
| 01:15:40 | >> Any time they ring that
scoreboard the way these teams
do it's excitement all the way.
|
| 01:15:45 | Reminds me, chris, in 1950, we
played nebraska here.
|
| 01:15:48 | We had billy vessels, they had
bobby reynolds, and that score
was 49-35.
|
| 01:15:54 | >> Well, we're approaching that
now because we have 28 seconds
remaining in the third quarter,
and the kick by carroll is up
and good.
|
| 01:16:04 | A record-breaking crowd here.
|
| 01:16:06 | The last bigger crowd was in
1957, bud, when you were the
coach, and it was notre dame
that day that stopped your
47-game winning streak.
|
| 01:16:17 | >> I remember the afternoon
very well.
|
| 01:16:18 | It was gray and overcast,
almost like this one.
|
| 01:16:20 | Let's watch the touchdown again.
|
| 01:16:22 | You can watch the blocking here
of the wishbone backs as they
cut the pursuit down, enabling
mildren to move into the end
zone for the touchdown.
|
| 01:16:35 | Let's take a look at it again
from another angle.
|
| 01:16:36 | There go those fine
blocks--bell, welch, and
mildren finding the end zone.
|
| 01:16:44 | >> Capping a 72-yard drive in 7
plays.
|
| 01:16:48 | We have rodgers to the near
side and kinney, 35, opposite
awaiting john carroll's kick
for oklahoma.
|
| 01:16:56 | 28-24 Is the score.
|
| 01:16:57 | 28 Seconds left in the third
quarter.
|
| 01:17:00 | Lots of time for either team as
rodgers--it goes right through,
but it will come out to the
20-yard line, a touchback.
|
| 01:17:10 | December 11 on abc, college
the
post
versus delaware; in the
GRANTLAND RICE bowl McNeese
state versus east tennessee
state; the pioneer bowl eastern
michigan versus louisiana tech;
and the camellia bowl boise
state versus chico state.
|
| 01:17:26 | So check your local listings
for time and station.
|
| 01:17:28 | Now the powerful and
number-one-ranked nebraska
cornhuskers.
|
| 01:17:32 | First and 10 at their own 20.
|
| 01:17:33 | Their superengineer in
quarterback jerry tagge has the
ball.
|
| 01:17:37 | Pitches it to the deep man
kinney.
|
| 01:17:41 | And kinney--
>> it's that extra 4 yards he
gets, chris, after the ordinary
back would be down that enables
nebraska to dominate ball
possession.
|
| 01:17:49 | Against missouri, they kept the
ball 47 out of the 60 minutes,
which is the most unbelievable
statistic I've ever heard.
|
| 01:17:57 | >> It was a gain of 7 yards,
and kinney carried 230-pound
lucious selmon on his way.
|
| 01:18:04 | At the end of the third quarter
here at owen field in norman
oklahoma, where the temperature
is 47 degrees, the score
nebraska 28, oklahoma 24.
|
| 01:20:18 | >> And now we await the start
of the fourth and final quarter
in the game to decide number
one in the nation, nebraska
leading 28-24.
|
| 01:20:27 | They trailed at halftime 17-14.
|
| 01:20:30 | They have bounced back.
|
| 01:20:31 | Oklahoma has just scored on a
72-yard drive, and now it's
second and 3 for nebraska at
their own 27.
|
| 01:20:39 | First snap fourth quarter.
|
| 01:20:45 | Tagge faking a handoff.
|
| 01:20:48 | Faking with one pump of the
throwing arm and then carrying
to the 31, where mike struck
makes the tackle.
|
| 01:20:54 | >> These statistics--oklahoma
clearly in the lead, 401 total
yards to 237 for nebraska.
|
| 01:21:01 | The statistic that is vital in
this game is that oklahoma has
lost 3 fumbles.
|
| 01:21:07 | Nebraska has not made a
turnover either by fumble or an
interception.
|
| 01:21:11 | >> It's a first and 10 now for
nebraska at their own 31.
|
| 01:21:20 | Gives you an idea of just how
tough kinney is, and the team
that is being tested now is the
oklahoma defensive unit because
they have to get that ball for
their offensive team.
|
| 01:21:30 | And here in the second half,
bud, nebraska has sort of
punctured them.
|
| 01:21:34 | >> They've made 146 yards in
the third quarter when they
made only 91 yards in the
entire first half.
|
| 01:21:41 | >> Second down and 7 for
nebraska.
|
| 01:21:43 | Tagge is 14, 20 is johnny
rodgers, 85 is list to the far
side, cox 32 to the near side.
|
| 01:21:54 | Uh-oh.
|
| 01:21:55 | Here's johnny rodgers coming
the opposite way.
|
| 01:21:59 | There's that blinding speed.
|
| 01:22:00 | Out of bounds at midfield on a
16-yard gain.
|
| 01:22:04 | Roach forcing rodgers, number
20, out of bounds.
|
| 01:22:07 | Rodgers with 16 touchdowns this
year, one here today on a
72-yard punt return.
|
| 01:22:11 | >> The leverage man has got to
get as deep as the ball.
|
| 01:22:13 | The oklahoma end is in too
tight.
|
| 01:22:16 | Rodgers is out around clean,
picks up the wall of blockers,
and the nebraska offense in
this the second half has come
to life.
|
| 01:22:26 | >> Right on the midfield stripe.
|
| 01:22:27 | Snapping the ball will be doug
dumler, number 54.
|
| 01:22:29 | Tagge right behind him.
|
| 01:22:30 | First down.
|
| 01:22:39 | Getting it away at the last
moment to jeff kinney.
|
| 01:22:45 | Number 98 grabbing that ball,
lucious selmon, as larry roach
comes in defensively for
oklahoma, and the sooner fans
felt the ball should go
elsewhere.
|
| 01:22:55 | Looking at the 48.
|
| 01:22:56 | It's second and 8.
|
| 01:22:58 | >> Kinney certainly got it put
away quickly, chris.
|
| 01:23:00 | He was hit just about two steps
after he caught the lateral.
|
| 01:23:05 | >> And I've never seen such a
last-minute pitch to him from
tagge.
|
| 01:23:09 | Cox goes to the far side along
with 20, rodgers, on second
down and 8 from the oklahoma 48.
|
| 01:23:14 | Olds is the fullback.
|
| 01:23:17 | Kinney behind him.
|
| 01:23:22 | The fake is to kinney, and the
defense took it.
|
| 01:23:25 | There's tagge.
|
| 01:23:27 | Tagge still trying.
|
| 01:23:29 | Ooh!
|
| 01:23:32 | >> Once again, oklahoma loses
leverage rushing the passer.
|
| 01:23:35 | They had him, but tagge had a
little bit more speed than day
coming in.
|
| 01:23:40 | >> Danny mullen, number 58, in
on the play along with mark
driscoll.
|
| 01:23:49 | As now the ball is at the 40
after an 8-yard gain.
|
| 01:23:53 | Let's see.
|
| 01:23:54 | We're just short of a first
down.
|
| 01:23:55 | Third down and inches, and look
at the yards gained by kinney.
|
| 01:23:58 | The two quarterbacks going
stride for stride on the
rushing yardage.
|
| 01:24:05 | Third and inches.
|
| 01:24:06 | Slot-i.
|
| 01:24:14 | Jeff kinney getting yards.
|
| 01:24:17 | Inside the 25 of oklahoma.
|
| 01:24:20 | Driscoll making another tackle.
|
| 01:24:23 | >> Let's watch kinney again.
|
| 01:24:24 | Short yardage.
|
| 01:24:25 | It's always good on 8 to go out
wide.
|
| 01:24:27 | You know that the defense is
gonna be converging to the
inside, and they've got
everybody knocked down inside.
|
| 01:24:31 | Kinney picks up first down very
easily, and the nebraska
offense continues here in the
second half to dominate the
oklahoma defense.
|
| 01:24:39 | >> A 16-yard run by kinney.
|
| 01:24:40 | Now the ball at the 24 of
oklahoma first and 10.
|
| 01:24:43 | Nebraska leading 28-24.
|
| 01:24:45 | 12 Minutes left in the ball
game.
|
| 01:24:55 | Diving on the ball.
|
| 01:24:55 | It's loose!
|
| 01:24:56 | And oklahoma recovers!
|
| 01:25:02 | Lucious selmon recovers the
ball.
|
| 01:25:07 | >> That's the second mistake
that nebraska has made.
|
| 01:25:09 | They jumped offside once.
|
| 01:25:12 | Now they have fumbled once, but
that fumble was a big one.
|
| 01:25:15 | Oklahoma has the ball, and
they're only 4 points behind.
|
| 01:25:18 | 46 remaining
in the ball game.
|
| 01:25:21 | A time-out at owen field in
norman, where the score
nebraska 28, oklahoma 24.
|
| 01:27:59 | >> Lucious selmon has recovered
a nebraska fumble.
|
| 01:28:04 | As a result, the sooners, who
are trailing by 4 points with
47 to go in the ball game,
have it at the 31.
|
| 01:28:10 | First down.
|
| 01:28:11 | Mildren, who scored the last
oklahoma touchdown, number 11,
at quarterback.
|
| 01:28:20 | And jack mildren is moving.
|
| 01:28:23 | John adkins went right along
with him.
|
| 01:28:26 | Finally stops him near the 41.
|
| 01:28:28 | Let's see if it's enough
yardage.
|
| 01:28:33 | >> That's lucious selmon,
number 98, who made that fumble
recovery for oklahoma.
|
| 01:28:37 | Nebraska seemed to be moving
toward another--relentlessly
moving toward a touchdown.
|
| 01:28:42 | >> That was danny mullen
alongside him on the oklahoma
bench.
|
| 01:28:45 | With the ball at the 41, it's
second down and less than a
yard.
|
| 01:28:52 | Rich glover again in on mildren.
|
| 01:28:54 | >> But that quarterback counter
will straighten glover up a
little bit.
|
| 01:28:57 | He won't be able to pursue
quite so fast with the normal
wishbone pattern moving to the
outside.
|
| 01:29:03 | >> If you've just joined us,
nebraska led at the end of the
first quarter 7-3.
|
| 01:29:06 | They trailed at halftime 17-14.
|
| 01:29:09 | At the end of the third
quarter, they led 28-24.
|
| 01:29:12 | That's the score now with
oklahoma getting a first and 10
at their own 45.
|
| 01:29:19 | And number 45, tim welch,
190-pounder from bowie, texas,
moves near midfield.
|
| 01:29:29 | Next february, the united
states gets its first chance to
host the world university
winter games.
|
| 01:29:34 | Some 500 college athletes from
25 countries will be competing
in plattsburgh and beautiful
lake placid, new york, for
international honors in hockey,
skating, and skiing.
|
| 01:29:43 | Second down and 5 for oklahoma
near midfield.
|
| 01:29:50 | And there is the first
opportunity to see the speed of
greg pruitt.
|
| 01:29:55 | What a play, bud!
|
| 01:29:58 | >> It was the counter option.
|
| 01:30:00 | Let's watch it again.
|
| 01:30:02 | Mildren finally got him to
close on him where he could get
the ball out to pruitt for the
first time this afternoon.
|
| 01:30:07 | Let's look at it again.
|
| 01:30:09 | Here's pruitt.
|
| 01:30:09 | A little counterstep.
|
| 01:30:11 | Mildren draws the defense, and
when he gets it, he can turn it
on just like johnny rodgers.
|
| 01:30:17 | >> Greg pruitt.
|
| 01:30:19 | His biggest day rushing this
year was 294 yards in a game,
and as you saw, he has
fantastic acceleration.
|
| 01:30:28 | So at the 33 of nebraska now
following the 17-yard gain,
mildren keeps, and jacobson is
on top of him.
|
| 01:30:37 | And on the bottom, he had some
help, too, from 51, jim branch
of chicago, illinois.
|
| 01:30:43 | A gain of two to the 31.
|
| 01:30:45 | Second down and 8.
|
| 01:30:47 | Mildren 4 of 6 completions for
one touchdown, 67%, 122 yards.
|
| 01:30:52 | He's rushed it 27 times 117
yards, and he has scored a
touchdown.
|
| 01:30:58 | In fact, he's scored two.
|
| 01:31:01 | Second and 8.
|
| 01:31:05 | And welch finds the toughness
of the nebraska defense.
|
| 01:31:10 | >> And with time running out,
we're getting into those
critical situations.
|
| 01:31:14 | We've got third down and a long
5.
|
| 01:31:19 | >> Yes. it is a long 5.
|
| 01:31:21 | It's more like 6.
|
| 01:31:22 | >> Yes, it is.
|
| 01:31:25 | >> Welch playing the fullback
position for oklahoma, as a
result crosswhite had some
bruises early.
|
| 01:31:31 | He's been and out of the lineup.
|
| 01:31:32 | We have harrison to the near
side on third and 5.
|
| 01:31:35 | Mildren.
|
| 01:31:37 | And it's welch.
|
| 01:31:39 | Battles, but he's short about a
yard and a half of the first
down, bringing up fourth down.
|
| 01:31:44 | Jim branch on the tackle.
|
| 01:31:45 | And now listen to the coaches
in the stands, the fans.
|
| 01:31:48 | >> This time, there's gonna be
no disagreement between the
coaches on the bench and the
coaches in the stands.
|
| 01:31:52 | Oklahoma's gonna go for it.
|
| 01:31:55 | >> They need almost two yards.
|
| 01:32:00 | 51 To go in the ball game as
oklahoma trails by 4.
|
| 01:32:04 | The wishbone offense with
harrison split at the bottom of
your screen, number 12.
|
| 01:32:10 | >> Better go wide, I think.
|
| 01:32:12 | >> And there's the first down
by the bread-and-butter
man--jack mildren!
|
| 01:32:18 | >> Always a good idea to come
back with the next related play
to the one that breaks for long
yardage.
|
| 01:32:22 | That was a counter option.
|
| 01:32:23 | Mildren, instead of pitching to
pruitt, felt that they would be
drifting to cover pruitt.
|
| 01:32:27 | Kept it himself for the first
down.
|
| 01:32:28 | >> And he moved it to the
21-yard line.
|
| 01:32:30 | The abilene, texas, native,
senior jack mildren.
|
| 01:32:34 | There you see the nebraska
defense, which includes adkins,
jacobson, terrio, glover,
branch, jansen, harper up front.
|
| 01:32:40 | Mason, kosch, blahak, and
anderson in the secondary.
|
| 01:32:47 | And up front, they were tough
on welch, number 45.
|
| 01:32:53 | Very little gain.
|
| 01:32:53 | As you see, the clock running.
|
| 01:32:56 | 28-24.
|
| 01:32:57 | Oklahoma has to penetrate the
nebraska end zone.
|
| 01:33:02 | Oklahoma with 61 rushes for 280
yards.
|
| 01:33:11 | Coming into this game, they
averaged 481 yards.
|
| 01:33:15 | Now it's a second down and nine.
|
| 01:33:19 | And pruitt.
|
| 01:33:21 | Doesn't have an opportunity to
get his head down and go.
|
| 01:33:24 | He's usually in an upright
position when he runs into
those big nebraska defenders.
|
| 01:33:28 | Mason, however, the monster
man, joined jacobson on the
tackle at about the 17-yard
line.
|
| 01:33:35 | >> And you keep wondering, when
is oklahoma gonna throw it?
|
| 01:33:37 | Because the defense stays up
very tight against this
powerful running attack.
|
| 01:33:42 | >> Pruitt 10 carries, 49 yards.
|
| 01:33:45 | He's in the wishbone on the
right-hand side, number 30 of
the two deep men.
|
| 01:33:49 | Third and 6.
|
| 01:33:55 | And knocked away on a beautiful
play.
|
| 01:33:58 | Number 18, jim anderson, a
senior from green bay.
|
| 01:34:02 | It was intended for albert
chandler.
|
| 01:34:05 | >> Chandler was open.
|
| 01:34:06 | Mildren underthrew it slightly.
|
| 01:34:08 | >> Fourth down and 6 for
14 to go,
nebraska leading 28-24.
|
| 01:34:16 | >> And what play do you call
here, chris?
|
| 01:34:19 | >> Well, you're the coach, bud.
|
| 01:34:22 | You did so well here for so
many years.
|
| 01:34:25 | >> It's gonna be a running fake.
|
| 01:34:27 | I believe that they may run the
basic option or a pass off the
fake.
|
| 01:34:31 | >> They need 6 yards.
|
| 01:34:33 | Mildren busting one out here to
a man who's open.
|
| 01:34:35 | It's a touchdown!
|
| 01:34:36 | Oklahoma leads!
|
| 01:34:53 | 69 Yards in 11 plays, and jack
mildren has thrown his second
touchdown pass to harrison, jon
harrison, also from abilene,
texas.
|
| 01:35:06 | So the abilene boys really shot
them down that time, and we
10 to go, and now we
have carroll trying for the
point after, and oklahoma ups
the count.
|
| 01:35:17 | They have a 31-28 margin at
this moment.
|
| 01:35:22 | The game for number one will
continue here on abc in a
moment.
|
| 01:35:26 | The score oklahoma 31, nebraska
28.
|
| 01:38:04 | >> 35 Is jeff kinney.
|
| 01:38:05 | On the far side, johnny rodgers
for nebraska, awaiting the kick
by oklahoma as the sooners have
taken the lead again.
|
| 01:38:11 | On a 69-yard march in 11 plays,
jack mildren to jon harrison
for the score.
|
| 01:38:16 | 10 to go in the
game.
|
| 01:38:20 | Here's the kick into the wind.
|
| 01:38:22 | Kicking it away from rodgers,
it goes to kinney, a very
dangerous and tough runner, but
he is tripped up by number 37
of oklahoma, gary young, a
sophomore from clinton.
|
| 01:38:33 | >> Let's watch the touchdown
again.
|
| 01:38:35 | Harrison, wide receiver for
oklahoma.
|
| 01:38:38 | A little inside fake.
|
| 01:38:39 | Great backfield fake, and he
beats kosch badly to the
outside.
|
| 01:38:44 | Wide open as he catches the
ball.
|
| 01:38:46 | >> Harrison 4 catches, 115
yards, and two touchdowns.
|
| 01:38:49 | Now jerry tagge from his own 26.
|
| 01:38:51 | First and 10.
|
| 01:38:52 | Nebraska in the white jerseys.
|
| 01:38:54 | They trail by 4.
|
| 01:38:58 | And here's rodgers.
|
| 01:39:02 | And he lost his footing.
|
| 01:39:05 | The man that had a shot at him
was number 96 raymond hamilton
but couldn't quite grab him.
|
| 01:39:10 | >> Let's take another view of
the touchdown.
|
| 01:39:11 | You can see the fine inside
faking, and mildren hitting
harrison, who was wide open to
the outside, having faked kosch.
|
| 01:39:19 | >> 6:43 To go.
|
| 01:39:21 | Oklahoma 31, nebraska 28.
|
| 01:39:23 | Nebraska number one in the
rankings, oklahoma number two.
|
| 01:39:27 | Second and 6 from the 30.
|
| 01:39:28 | Jerry tagge.
|
| 01:39:36 | Jeff kinney.
|
| 01:39:38 | >> Chris, you've played all
season dreaming about getting
into this game.
|
| 01:39:42 | 19 to go, and
on both sides, every down,
every snap could be the play
that decides the ball game, and
the pressure equally on the
oklahoma defense to get the
ball one more time and on
nebraska's offense to sustain
this drive.
|
| 01:39:58 | As we look at jack mildren.
|
| 01:39:59 | >> What a star he has been.
|
| 01:40:01 | He's putting on a different set
of shoes, hopefully of using
them soon, but right now,
nebraska third and one at their
own 35.
|
| 01:40:08 | Tagge.
|
| 01:40:12 | That's a good man to give it to
when you need a yard or more.
|
| 01:40:15 | Look at that power runner.
|
| 01:40:17 | Jeff kinney, bud.
|
| 01:40:21 | >> Let's watch him again as he
runs through 3 oklahoma
defenders.
|
| 01:40:24 | Short yardage, tossed back from
tagge.
|
| 01:40:27 | He puts the ball away.
|
| 01:40:29 | Watch his power.
|
| 01:40:30 | There's one man.
|
| 01:40:32 | There comes a second.
|
| 01:40:33 | That's aycock.
|
| 01:40:34 | He slides by the third.
|
| 01:40:36 | That's o'shaughnessy.
|
| 01:40:37 | Finally, he's barely pulled
down.
|
| 01:40:39 | >> Jeff kinney has scored twice
for the cornhuskers today.
|
| 01:40:43 | Moving the ball to the oklahoma
48.
|
| 01:40:45 | First down.
|
| 01:40:52 | Gary dixon, number 22, who is
giving kinney a rest, carried
for the first time today, and
now the clock.
|
| 01:41:04 | 5:15 To go, 31-24.
|
| 01:41:08 | >> Plenty of time for nebraska,
but if they do score, it will
be awfully short time for the
oklahoma offense.
|
| 01:41:12 | >> Ball now is at the 46.
|
| 01:41:14 | It is second down and 8 for the
cornhuskers.
|
| 01:41:18 | Have won 29 games without
defeat.
|
| 01:41:24 | Nice fake by tagge.
|
| 01:41:26 | Jerry list is going deep, but
the receiver is covered, but
then coming up short was
rodgers on a comeback try.
|
| 01:41:32 | Off the shoulder pad.
|
| 01:41:34 | Third down and 8 for nebraska.
|
| 01:41:36 | Don't forget, this saturday,
army-navy game to be followed
00 eastern time undefeated
auburn going against undefeated
alabama, the two opponents for
these two teams in the bowl
games january 1, but this is
the game that has overshadowed
all the bowl talk because the
national rankings, possible
national championship at stake,
but the pride of both teams are
at stake here, and you couldn't
dream up a better game.
|
| 01:42:00 | >> And this snap could very
well decide it.
|
| 01:42:03 | >> 4:50 To go.
|
| 01:42:04 | Third down and 8.
|
| 01:42:07 | A lone set back with two wings
out.
|
| 01:42:10 | An end going out now.
|
| 01:42:11 | Tagge.
|
| 01:42:11 | Oh, just missed!
|
| 01:42:13 | Again by 96 hamilton.
|
| 01:42:19 | Johnny rodgers caught the ball,
and it's a nebraska first down
and a big one, sustaining this
drive and controlling the ball.
|
| 01:42:28 | >> Let's watch rodgers.
|
| 01:42:29 | Had hamilton not lost the
leverage--and you got to give
tagge credit for the move he
made.
|
| 01:42:34 | Rodgers circling, coming back.
|
| 01:42:36 | Tagge has run now, and on the
run, he finds rodgers open,
puts it in there where no one
can pat the ball down, about
two feet off the ground.
|
| 01:42:46 | >> 5 Catches, 59 yards for
rodgers.
|
| 01:42:49 | First and 10 at the oklahoma 36.
|
| 01:42:50 | Frosty anderson is in the
lineup split to near side.
|
| 01:42:57 | There's the rambler.
|
| 01:43:00 | Can he move.
|
| 01:43:01 | Jeff kinney, number 35.
|
| 01:43:04 | >> I got to think, chris, that
maybe if oklahoma let them
score and get the ball and have
time enough to maybe get one
back yourself.
|
| 01:43:10 | 00,
another game.
|
| 01:43:14 | Georgia-georgia tech from
atlanta, and at halftime, the
downtown athletic club of new
york will make its annual
announcement of the heisman
trophy winner.
|
| 01:43:20 | With the ball now at the 22,
it's first and 10 cornhuskers.
|
| 01:43:26 | 3:59 To go in the game.
|
| 01:43:29 | They trail by 3.
|
| 01:43:30 | Look at this run.
|
| 01:43:32 | Johnny rodgers slipping away,
falling to the 15 for a 7-yard
gain.
|
| 01:43:39 | Slippery.
|
| 01:43:40 | >> Oklahoma in position to make
the tackle several times, but
it makes a big difference who
you're trying to tackle.
|
| 01:43:49 | The clock the big factor.
|
| 01:43:53 | If oklahoma does not stop them,
it will be very difficult for
them to have time enough left
to score.
|
| 01:43:58 | >> Woody cox going to the far
side.
|
| 01:44:00 | Rodgers is an inside slot man
on second and 3 from the 15.
|
| 01:44:07 | And that's the man to give it
to.
|
| 01:44:09 | Jeff kinney.
|
| 01:44:14 | Mark driscoll made the tackle
but not before kinney had gone
inside the 10 to the 8.
|
| 01:44:19 | A 7-yard gain.
|
| 01:44:21 | It is first and goal for the
cornhuskers, who have trailed
twice today.
|
| 01:44:25 | At halftime, 17-14.
|
| 01:44:27 | Then they came back to lead
28-24.
|
| 01:44:30 | Oklahoma came back to take the
lead 31-28.
|
| 01:44:35 | We have 3 minutes left in the
game.
|
| 01:44:39 | Trailing by 3.
|
| 01:44:41 | Nebraska first and goal from
the oklahoma 8.
|
| 01:44:49 | Jeff kinney.
|
| 01:44:51 | Had a little trouble
controlling the ball on the
pitch from tagge, but once he
did, he moved upfield for a
couple of yards.
|
| 01:44:58 | In on the play raymond
hamilton, 96, and selmon, 98,
at the 6-yard line.
|
| 01:45:03 | >> And that clock continues to
tick away.
|
| 01:45:05 | If nebraska scores, there will
be less than two minutes for
oklahoma.
|
| 01:45:11 | If they do not score, they'll
not get the ball again.
|
| 01:45:15 | >> Right now, second and goal
at the 6.
|
| 01:45:18 | Meanwhile, tagge comes trotting
over to head coach bob devaney,
a graduate of alma, a native of
saginaw.
|
| 01:45:27 | 15 Years, and what a record he
has.
|
| 01:45:30 | We have a time-out at owen
field in norman, oklahoma.
|
| 01:45:32 | The score oklahoma 31, nebraska
28.

>> just as was anticipated, a
close battle between the two
top-ranked teams in the country.
|
| 01:47:54 | 20 To go, second down, goal
to go at the oklahoma 6,
nebraska trailing by 3, 31-28.
|
| 01:48:02 | Going to the far side as a
split end is woody cox in the
slot-i formation.
|
| 01:48:07 | Jerry tagge, number 14, calls
signals.
|
| 01:48:15 | What a man to stop.
|
| 01:48:17 | Jeff kinney.
|
| 01:48:17 | A fumble!
|
| 01:48:21 | And oklahoma players say that
they've recovered it, but the
officials say no.
|
| 01:48:26 | >> Let's watch it again.
|
| 01:48:27 | Kinney the ball carrier.
|
| 01:48:30 | "I" formation, power.
|
| 01:48:32 | Olds blocking ahead of him.
|
| 01:48:33 | He moves outside of the block.
|
| 01:48:35 | He's hit.
|
| 01:48:36 | There's the grab for the ball.
|
| 01:48:39 | He fights through the man.
|
| 01:48:40 | He's still got good possession
of the ball.
|
| 01:48:43 | His knee is on the ground now.
|
| 01:48:44 | He is on the ground now.
|
| 01:48:46 | >> Third and goal from the two.
|
| 01:48:48 | What pressure on the oklahoma
defense.
|
| 01:48:55 | Not to be denied, jeff kinney
his third touchdown of the
afternoon, and nebraska has
regained the lead 34-31.
|
| 01:49:09 | Wow!
|
| 01:49:09 | Hope you're enjoying this game.
|
| 01:49:13 | It's one of many here on abc
over a 7-day period.
|
| 01:49:16 | We have more to come, including
a game tonight, georgia-georgia
tech.
|
| 01:49:19 | Then on saturday, army-navy to
be followed by the battle of the
unbeatens, auburn-alabama.
|
| 01:49:23 | >> And 1:38 remaining.
|
| 01:49:27 | >> Rich sanger will try the
point after with the score
being 34-31.
|
| 01:49:32 | Total of 65 points scored out
here this afternoon.
|
| 01:49:35 | The kick is up and good.
|
| 01:49:41 | A beautiful drive of 74
sustained yards.
|
| 01:49:48 | 12 Plays.
|
| 01:49:50 | >> Watch the touchdown again.
|
| 01:49:51 | "I" formation.
|
| 01:49:53 | Olds leading kinney in.
|
| 01:49:57 | Damkroger, not olds.
|
| 01:49:59 | I'm sorry, and he makes a great
block.
|
| 01:50:02 | Beautiful, beautiful block on
the oklahoma defensive end,
opening it up for kinney to
drive it clearly across the
goal line for the nebraska
touchdown.
|
| 01:50:11 | >> Bud, he is one of the truly
power runners that we've seen
in college football in our ncaa
series, which has covered 6
years.
|
| 01:50:18 | Wouldn't you agree?
|
| 01:50:18 | >> I certainly would.
|
| 01:50:19 | 6'2", 210, And he's got burning
determination.
|
| 01:50:23 | >> Now two good kick returners
are deep for oklahoma.
|
| 01:50:27 | >> Bob devaney has got a choice
here, too, chris.
|
| 01:50:29 | You can spin-kick it, and you
know that there won't be a
return, but you've got a wind
at your back, and maybe if you
catch it just right, you can
kick it out of the end zone.
|
| 01:50:38 | If you don't, though, you've
got wylie and pruitt back there.
|
| 01:50:41 | >> Wylie 22, pruitt number 30.
|
| 01:50:45 | This is the time that pruitt
would like to show his speed.
|
| 01:50:48 | He hasn't had much chance today.
|
| 01:50:50 | This time, it's picked
up--whoops--by wylie.
|
| 01:50:53 | Wylie finds a hole but is up
and down at the 20-yard-line.
|
| 01:51:00 | Coming up immediately following
our game, the prudential
college scoreboard with bud
palmer and merle harmon.
|
| 01:51:05 | Scores and highlights of other
games being played here on this
holiday, which we hope is a
pleasant one for all of you and
that this game has helped make
it so.
|
| 01:51:15 | >> Oklahoma scored in 55
seconds right before the first
half.
|
| 01:51:20 | They've got almost twice as
much time left in this half.
|
| 01:51:23 | >> They have to move it from
their own 19 with a first and
10, and mildren immediately
wants to go to the air,
throwing it long.
|
| 01:51:29 | Ohh.
|
| 01:51:30 | Harrison had his man beaten,
but the pass was overthrown.
|
| 01:51:34 | 27 Joe blahak of columbus,
nebraska, was covering harrison
on the play.
|
| 01:51:40 | Jack mildren disappointed as a
second down and 10 comes up now.
|
| 01:51:45 | On the clock, 1:28.
|
| 01:51:48 | >> And you're always debating.
|
| 01:51:49 | You know they're gonna be
thinking pass, and they're
gonna ignore the running fake
slightly, and maybe they'll
give pruitt a little running
room.
|
| 01:51:55 | >> A 4-point lead by nebraska.
|
| 01:51:59 | Last time oklahoma was
defeated, 28-21 last year by
nebraska.
|
| 01:52:04 | Second and 10 for the sooners.
|
| 01:52:06 | Mildren.
|
| 01:52:08 | And mildren is near the
sideline after about a 4-yard
gain.
|
| 01:52:13 | Bill jansen forcing him out,
number 55.
|
| 01:52:18 | Joined by 81 willie harper.
|
| 01:52:22 | Ball near the 23, the hash
mark, so it will be a third
down and 6 and a big one.
|
| 01:52:29 | Mildren 30 carries, 139 yards
rushing, threw a touchdown
pass, scored two himself.
|
| 01:52:37 | Now trailing by 4, 1:21 to go.
|
| 01:52:44 | And the number-one defensive
unit in the nation, led by
larry jacobson, number 75,
throw mildren for the loss
inside the 15-yard line,
bringing up fourth down and
about 14 with 1:14 to go, bud.
|
| 01:53:01 | nebraska one snap away
from maintaining the number one
rating and defending their
national championship.
|
| 01:53:07 | >> Unbeaten in 29 games.
|
| 01:53:11 | What a well-balanced unit,
nebraska.
|
| 01:53:15 | >> And what a great second half
of offense after being held to
91 yards in the first half.
|
| 01:53:19 | >> That's right and trailing at
halftime 17-14.
|
| 01:53:25 | >> You know they're gonna be
playing pass.
|
| 01:53:28 | They've only had single
coverage on harrison all
afternoon.
|
| 01:53:30 | It will be double coverage this
time.
|
| 01:53:32 | >> We'll be presenting the
chevrolet outstanding offensive
and defensive players of the
game award, $1,000 scholarship
for the school scholarship fund
on behalf of the winning
players.
|
| 01:53:41 | And jack mildren after talking
to head coach chuck fairbanks
moves slowly on the tartan turf
on a gray and now dim afternoon
as the field lights are not on.
|
| 01:53:53 | >> And the game, chris, has
come down to one snap.
|
| 01:53:57 | The season has come down to one
snap for both of these teams.
|
| 01:54:00 | >> And of course, both oklahoma
and nebraska have a game to be
played.
|
| 01:54:03 | Nebraska going to honolulu to
play the university of hawaii,
and oklahoma going against
their intrastate rival oklahoma
state.
|
| 01:54:12 | So here it is from the
wishbone, fourth down and 14.
|
| 01:54:16 | Mildren looking.
|
| 01:54:17 | Mildren getting away.
|
| 01:54:19 | The ball knocked down by guess
who--rich glover, number 79.
|
| 01:54:24 | Jacobson was the first in.
|
| 01:54:26 | Look at the size of that
defensive tackle.
|
| 01:54:29 | 6'6", 250 Pounds, and the
nebraska players are happy, and
well they should be because
they were down twice.
|
| 01:54:37 | 17-14 They trailed.
|
| 01:54:41 | Another time, 21-17.
|
| 01:54:43 | As glover, number 79, gets the
congratulations he deserves,
and my vote goes to him for the
defensive player of the game,
bud.
|
| 01:54:51 | >> No question about it, chris.
|
| 01:54:52 | I've seen a lot of great middle
guards, but I don't think I've
ever seen anyone that is as
consistently strong as glover.
|
| 01:54:57 | >> So now at the 15-yard line,
jerry tagge, who's had a fine
afternoon, calls signals for
the cornhuskers from lincoln.
|
| 01:55:06 | >> He's not gonna throw it.
|
| 01:55:07 | I promise you.
|
| 01:55:11 | >> Less than a minute to go,
and only a miracle could change
the score on the scoreboard,
35-31.
|
| 01:55:21 | >> Wide, wide open.
|
| 01:55:22 | This is johnny rodgers.
|
| 01:55:25 | When you're ahead in a game of
this kind, even though if
you're proficient as tagge,
there is no reason to do
anything except run the clock
out, and when the quarterback
has the ball himself, that's
the safest place.
|
| 01:55:38 | >> The average rushing
production by nebraska in the
first 10 games 257 yards.
|
| 01:55:45 | Here this afternoon, they have
rushed for 263, and jack
mildren played a tremendous
football game, number 11.
|
| 01:55:53 | >> Doesn't keep him from being
a little heartbroken right now,
and he's worried a little bit
about the pass protection
having broken down on the last
two passes that he attempted.
|
| 01:56:01 | >> We'd like to thank chuck
fairbanks, his staff, athletic
director wade walker and sports
information director johnny
keith, here at oklahoma.
|
| 01:56:08 | Also our expression of
appreciation to bob devaney,
his staff, and sports
information director dom bryant
at the university of nebraska
for all their help.
|
| 01:56:15 | So now it's a second down and
6, 55 seconds left in the game,
nebraska leading 35-31.
|
| 01:56:21 | Tagge of nebraska.
|
| 01:56:24 | Just controlling the football.
|
| 01:56:26 | >> And oklahoma's used up their
last time-out, I believe,
chris, so the clock is gonna
run out after one more snap.
|
| 01:56:32 | >> Mark driscoll coming in on
the tackle back at the 12-yard
line, so it will be a third
down and 7 as--
>> we made a mistake on their
counting.
|
| 01:56:40 | This is their third time-out.
|
| 01:56:43 | >> It will be third down and 7
from the 12 for nebraska.
|
| 01:56:48 | There's chuck fairbanks, hands
in his pockets on the far side
of the field, the oklahoma
coach.
|
| 01:56:54 | >> It's a tough, tough feeling
when you have a shot at the
national championship and it's
gotten away from you.
|
| 01:57:00 | >> The prudential college
scoreboard immediately follows
our telecast from norman,
oklahoma, today.
|
| 01:57:06 | From new york, bud palmer and
merle harmon will be giving you
all the scores, and then
tonight, it will be
georgia-georgia tech.
|
| 01:57:13 | Keith jackson and lee grosscup
there to cover the game, and
then bud, bill, and I will be
in birmingham, alabama, for the
00
saturday to be preceded by the
army-navy game, philadelphia.
|
| 01:57:27 | >> And it's a long weekend for
the wives that don't like
football.
|
| 01:57:31 | >> Ha ha ha!
|
| 01:57:32 | Most wives do, I believe.
|
| 01:57:34 | >> I do, too.
|
| 01:57:34 | >> We hope they do.
|
| 01:57:37 | 41 seconds, third
down and 7.
|
| 01:57:40 | Nebraska with the ball.
|
| 01:57:46 | And jeff kinney heading toward
the 5-yard line, and on the
board, we see 31 seconds.
|
| 01:57:53 | The clock is running.
|
| 01:57:55 | >> They got to snap it once
more.
|
| 01:58:02 | They'll take the delay of the
game penalty here, chris, i
believe.
|
| 01:58:05 | At least, that's the way most
teams are coached.
|
| 01:58:08 | You might as well use the full
25 seconds.
|
| 01:58:11 | However, as it counts down to
about 6 or 8, he'll snap it, i
believe, oklahoma having
exhausted the time-outs.
|
| 01:58:16 | >> Here's the fourth down play,
and ever trying, jeff kinney
carries the ball, and now
nebraska only 3 seconds away
from retaining its number one
ranking, showing us a balanced
offense and a super defense
against one of the most
exciting teams ever, the
oklahoma sooners.
|
| 01:58:33 | The ball at the 3, and there it
is.
|
| 01:58:39 | Congratulations to both teams.
|
| 01:58:41 | Just a tremendous battle here.
|
| 01:58:45 | Pride of both teams very
evident throughout the 60
minutes on the clock, and all
the excitement and color, the
showcase of college football, i
believe, bud, has been a great
success and a great victory for
the cornhuskers, and there goes
heavy bob devaney.
|
| 01:59:01 | >> That's one of those glorious
moments for a football coach.
|
| 01:59:06 | >> So two unbeatens on
saturday, auburn-alabama.
|
| 01:59:09 | We'll be televising that one at
00 eastern time, and the
final score again nebraska 31,
