1986 Sept 06 - Florida St vs Nebraska

Sports exclusive ABC the University of Nebraska campus words or grain the Cornhuskers tonight hosts the Florida State Senate oh the Nebraska football game again considered one of the pac-10 teams in the country border state may very well deserved top ten consideration themselves the 144 consecutive sellout for a corn Husker home game once again Memorial Stadium at kickoff the third largest community in the state of Nebraska ABC Sports presents [Music] CFA football the Florida State Seminoles and the Nebraska Cornhuskers Nebraska has lost running back duck DuBose a Heisman candidate to a season-ending injury which thrusts up for quarterback Steve Taylor to the fore as the principal offensive big year for the Cornhuskers [Music] another sophomore quarterback Jim Ferguson becomes the key man for the Florida State Seminoles the passer the field leader triggerman for the freewheeling Seminole [Music] a year and a week ago we were here in this very place for a Saturday afternoon game the temperature was 103 and the field temperature 135 but you can see what it is tonight it's downright wintry and we are fearful that the rain may continue through most of our game tonight and it certainly may well have an impact on what happens down on the field because I don't care if you are on artificial surface it makes it more hazardous and handling the football and sometimes in throwing the football and now the Seminoles are ready here comes Florida State into the stadium florida state seminoles have played a ballgame already this year they defeated Toledo by a scored on 24 to nothing had another fine season last year and Bobby back the hit man in his 11th year they're one of the top coaching record in the country and now the roar starts to bill for gas ooh the big red of Nebraska and it's in an incredible staff that they have sold out this Radian 100 divorce obsessive time and this man's on Mars born in his 14th season one of the top records in all of college football right third among the active coaches with a winning percentage and you can see the Huskers look like they are jacked up for the opener because they remember well losing 1713 here a year ago when Florida State held them scoreless in the second half on that hot afternoon and they know well too that if they get out of the blocks on his shoulder fake [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so whether or not the crowd feels as much relief as the football team having been able to get over this ticket scam over the past few days but I think everybody feels a little relieved in Lincoln right now and the fact that the Oklahoma Sooners their archrival won big this afternoon over UCLA probably have some jacked up a little bit too because they kind of want to match everything the Sooners do and take this thing down to the end of the season but the matter of 60 players having to sit out a ballgame as a result of an NCAA directive regarding mishandling of some complimentary admissions by the Nebraska football players a year ago that decision has been appealed it has been stayed all players will play tonight and we'll get a decision next Tuesday from the NCAA Appeals committee on the immediate future of those 60 players but let's not dwell on that let's turn to a new face sitting alongside me now for 1986 replacing the redhead from Decatur the great football coach at the University of Arkansas Frank coil set here for nine years and we miss it there's no question about it because the two people you're looking at right now we hope we are among Frank Rose great friends but the Irishman from Maryland Tim Brant moves into the analyst position now and becomes my colleague for the season and let's go quickly Tim if you will to the impact of all of this hassle and turmoil from the NCAA and what it might have had to do with the preparation for the Cornhuskers for the opener if there is no doubt about the fact that it had to affect the concentration of these players some players said they were angry others said they were frustrated at the NCAA ruling and Wednesday as you mentioned they didn't even know what they were going to play this ball game it has been an ongoing investigation and it is one that has had a definite impact not only on the players but on the coaches Tom Osborne told me earlier just how much we've spent a lot of time as a staff and I did personally trying to get a response together for a hearing that was scheduled out in Colorado Springs on August 17th that was then subsequently postponed or canceled and and but we did spent a lot of time on it and then of course the last few days been a little bit hectic at one point the game being somewhat and in jeopardy or in doubt and actually that affects the players a little bit more but I think that after 24 hours or things pass settle down and and we really didn't lose that much this has been a tough preseason for Nebraska first the loss of Doug DuBose the Heisman Trophy candidate out with a knee injury that would hurt anything then the n-c-double-a ruling but I think this is just the kick in the pants this Nebraska team needs to get off to a quick start they can rally around this adversity now this is a young team but it is also a very deep team it is raw talent and it is young but it is deep and the key player there is quarterback Steve Taylor now last year Nebraska completed only 55 passes all year Steve Taylor can run and he can throw and it is that double can make them a great ballclub again Nebraska like they were is a Turner Gill at quarterback and if Taylor becomes that guy or Clayton or one of them I think they're in you know now the best thing could happen us if we could pressure this young man there'll be times when we will try you know though we might see he he might be one of the guys that can kill you with pressure but we're gonna try to test in both ways and I'm sure they gonna test chip both ways and that's well that's to see who can protect the quarterback that's gonna be the key serious record between these two teams covered only four games in the contract this will finish it Florida State is one two out of the three times here in Lincoln

live the legend in Herman Wolf's historic masterpiece the winds of war starting tomorrow a notable Nebraskan at this time of year there are only two things on my mind power and blowing wide paths through the opposition as far as I'm concerned they're only two things that fill that card and you know what one is the other is my snapper snowblower I call it big red to take it from me Bob Devaney snapper power products take on all the competition see P&J small engine Lincoln Wesley case hardware Omaha and Bellevue and became more Omaha Jim Lampley in New York before Nebraska begins its bid for the national championship let's take a look at what happened to six other teams which are also regarded as having a chance in a battle between two contenders Oklahoma ranked number one smash UCLA at home 38 to 3 another game between two potential contenders Miami Beach Florida at Florida 23 to 15 snapping a 21 game unbeaten home string for the Gators Alabama 1 for the second time beating Vanderbilt 42 to 10 and Penn State in its first ever night home game has jumped out to an early lead of 24 nothing in the second quarter against temple now to Keith Jackson and lengthen well let's see how high the feathers fly as Dale climb the senior conservator bestowal market beat to keep washing their Halloween kicking from the 35 yard line it comes down the Tallahassee is got a hole up the middle he comes out to the 25 and that's where the Seminoles will go to work with this offensive alignment and the young man chip Ferguson at quarterback figures to be very important particularly on a wet pool night chip Ferguson is a sophomore but he is a very good field general with a multi offense to work from so let's see what happens best chip comes out looking for his third consecutive win I guess it is a fourth consecutive win as a starting quarterback he stepped in with Danny McManus with into the year ago and did a fine job for Bobby Bowden Seminole from the 26 yard line carrying the ball is mr. Floyd at 6-foot 195 a sophomore out of Pensacola is brought down by the middle guard Danny Noonan Danny Noonan and fish Buckman are two potential all Americans and all Americans last year in some people's opinion and penny they are two horses on the defensive front keep they really are Bachman and Newton now if they occupy three offensive linemen if it takes three offensive linemen for Florida State to block them then the advantage obviously right away would go to Nebraska Williams he found the crime remark Munford coming off knee surgery remarkable comeback remark and one of the premier players at that position in the country the to Nebraska linebackers are really something Munford and Kevin persons they're both big enough and they're both quick enough to do almost anything asked of them by their defensive coach Jonah McBride they saved that knee surgery then Munford lost a step you couldn't tell on that plane because one thing he has experienced no false steps goes immediately to the football again pops it out of there the ball pops away from him it's still rolling around and is finally covered by Florida State March selva the right guard got up fear facing that elusive wet pigskin and he brought it down florida state possession and it'll be first down for the Seminoles you know one of the key here for Florida State is having played a football game they had an opportunity to work out the wrinkle to iron out some of the problems now last week against Toledo they fumbled the ball five times then lost three of those here's the fumble they get this one back and actually it helps them out they not only have the first down but now they're in Nebraska Terence here they've picked up 12 yards on the fumble from the 43 yard line tips Parkinson's first pass of the night wide open number 24 Darrell Holloman Aaron is not all that big 5 778 but he is so quick and when Ferguson can find him among all the Giants out there on the field he can be exciting Bobby Bowden says this youngster chip Ferguson is gonna be as good as the other two Florida quarterbacks Testaverde and Kerwin Bell he is poised the challenge will be whether he can read the defense now the Brassica stays in a basic defense but they try to disguise everything they do and confuse Ferguson its first down Florida State just outside the Nebraska 30-yard line Ferguson hands the ball off the floor fourth find a weak side it come back over on a misdirection to the left side but Danny Noonan six-foot-four 280 pound senior from Lincoln is there to BD Tom Osborne a brilliant career quiet man lovely man he really is is easy he timed if you don't know him you think he's almost unemotional about this thing but he believes and keeping an even tempo on the sidelines and if he's gonna do it it's gonna be that way and so over the years it is second down and 10 after 30 Abner Preston the Seminoles with their first threat of the ball games from second down he goes down the middle with it quarters there he's got it touchdown Florida State a post pattern with the tailback carrying himself down the middle and perfect pass by Ferguson in front of Siebler teeth you always have to look for that number 2 receiver he's the most dangerous person on that offensive scheme they put two receivers after the right side Floyd came right down the middle of his own and split the seam and was wide open for the touchdown he took a look at the goal line but being a pale back he carried it on through once he had his hands on the ball Derrick Smith for the extra point he has never missed one never high school or college 89 and 489 hooked it a little bit but he got it through to the flag there's a penalty flag thrown so let's see whether or not the point will stand at 12 11 to go in the first quarter the referee tonight is Paul Schmitz out of the southern independent Association of Libya's umpire is John line back you'd have a slip through big eight at Southern imprinted gym fracture a headline football ground the line judge it's going to be against Florida State Bobby Bernards appeal Judge Michael Beauregard the size judge will be legal for 300 they affect 5 on to him and Bobby bad now is walking around looking for the special team scope then what are you doing get him up there these are the problems they were supposed to have worked out this past week [Music] he's good again so he keeps us praying in fact he's ninety four ninety on extra point and so and twelve eleven the door the first quarter Florida State takes the opening kickoff and they stick it in the end zone the measure of a champion it's not just a matter of inches but a matter of degree it's the determination to deliver the extra margin of performance that results in being the best we know we're the champions sparkplug company and right now we'll donate $1 in your name to us amateur athletics when you buy a set of Champion copper plus the spark plugs that deliver an extra margin of performance proving they are America's best [Music] it's time you said bye-bye basic hello Sentra the all-new Nissan Sentra 487 is much more than basic transportation its newly designed with a longer wheelbase smoother ride and superior handling so say bye-bye basics who made their most affordable car even better the name is Nissan America's number one deployed the young man that hauled in that 30 yard pass for the touchdown to put the Seminoles on top seven to nothing Ferguson two out of two in that possession 43 yards including the CD and now the Seminoles will kick off to Nebraska with Vaughn Shepard and Terry Rodgers deep Derek Schmidt will do the kicking Keith Jones normally would be the man returning the ditch but he's got to be the I back because of the injury to Doug to boast the kick falls at the 9 yard line taken by Vaughn shepherd and shimmer on a faithful with a strong one back outside the 32 the 33 this is the way the Huskers line up and we noted that Joan just got a VDI back with the most gone he'll be very important but it is the young man at quarterback Steve Taylor a sophomore out of the San Diego area in California that has to pull the trigger for this Nebraska team and you can bet the ranch on it Florida State is going to try to get in his face quickly you may see some stunts and blitzes they're going to mix up their coverages and try to confuse him and that's exactly what Bobby Bobby was talking about when he said he was worried to death over him the defensive alignment for the Florida State and those inside linebackers Jones and McGowan will be a key I think for the Seminoles don't you absolutely you know the coaches told the middle guard Thomas harp if he doesn't make a play all day don't worry about it just occupy the blockers so McGowan and Jones to get in the pursuit lanes and make the hit the Georgia turns up field too soon but he got away with it the handoff goes to the ipact Keith Jones who's in there at about 195 pounds of junior from Omaha and he is roughed out by the nose guard Florida State Thomas Martin Thomas is not exactly a small fella you got to take four or five steps to get around maybe a 6-1 285-pound he also has pretty good speed you want to B's got good mobile ability second down and seven now for Nebraska forty-five of the young man working the sidelines as our reporter this year in college football is al crap wig yeah let's go join al right now he's a few minutes ago I couldn't help but think Tim Brant picked a heck of a night to leave the sidelines to come to the booth it was raining but it is now stopped the field however is still very slippery Oh Todd see what I mean back to you but at least he didn't get a stomach burn out of it third down and two ball jumps inside 245 detail over the ball that is helmet about the marker but I think the ball is going to come up a half a yard short as Paul McGowan one wolves inside Packers and the free safety Greg you will bring him down [Applause] those two numbers 55 and 38 Jones and McGowan you're going to see those numbers all night so let's get familiar with him right now see the key is no fall steps his first immediate move is toward that football he gets over gets in the lot of traffic and although he doesn't make the play he clogs things up gets in the way and helps pursue fourth down Nebraska's going for it they're gambling the ball is out of the 40 to go inside second effort just barely gets the first down that is a gamble this early in the ballgame the team down 7 nothing he bounced off fall apart and was able to get the berth down [Applause] well I'll tell you Tom Osborne with that quiet approach to the game but there are times when he is a riverboat gambler and this is one of them Tom Osborne one of the most successful coaches in college football has a burr under his saddle because he lost at his club in the opener last year here's the first town hall of death the 41 yard line about the 36 he succeeded Tom Westman a year ago and the Florida State game Rathbun had a big play in that ball game in sports play from scrimmage raftsmen broke it off and scored early against Florida State big play there but Kalin played in all 11 games last year he was a walk-on in 1982 played eight-man football in high school a lot different here in Nebraska he's done a 49 Keith Jones is the I back he's number six [Music] [Applause] Jason Gambel it is Jason Gambel assuming at the wide receiver spot split in he may have properly did it Florida State's got it so on the hits gamble lost control of the football and the Seminoles come up for the turnover forget the fumble for a second this is a young quarterback and this is the dimension that we were talking about that is going to make this a much tougher offensive football team he rolls to the right and immediately sees his receiver and throws across his body a difficult pass but he has his man in the hook zone and it's complete it was four fumbles last year for Nebraska that lost that game at least was a main part of that loss it'll be part of state football when we come back Anna sonic the future of office automation advanced equipment with an extraordinary content the

cater and the junior from Sarasota is across the 35 to the 36 Boris Becker beaten today at the US Open tennis tournament back all for the fine women [Music] Florida State freewheeling often moving the football against Nebraska here in the first quarter Huskers hurt themselves in the turnovers down at 225 pounds he's knocked down at the 34 so he's gonna lose about two yards we talked about Danny Noonan and Chris buck on the new defensive lineman the keys for Nebraska's defense have a look at it 76 and 95 they're being tackled as what they're doing newton takes him out anyway after he was tackled their double-team in these two guys head old Bobby Bowden he is slick as they come he knows he had to rebuild his offensive line he knows Nebraska traditionally has a good defendant hold Danny Noonan is there so you know what he's doing he's got chip burgers been thinking a real quick 3-step drop and getting rid of the ball the more depressed he can come across that line of scrimmage it is third down and two Seminole boy Ted Williams asset wise gonna throw it again this time gainer misconnection he had him he was available he certainly was and the pass was right on the money and gainer apparently broke the play because all he had to do was stop and he had the first down it becomes Lewis berry now how to do the putting before the state he's a good one one of the best for the country going deep bond Shepard and I'm a 33 theta prints in the two wing backs will do the punt return e berries kick is away not a particularly good woody ended reach a little bit forget it come up with a particularly good fun anthem respite 29 the state leading examining fixing this water damage will cost $1,200 can i implemented it you could with Thompson's WaterSeal this water damage is gonna run 750 dollars what would have stopped it prevent water damage with Thompson's WaterSeal simply brush Thompson's on wood brick or concrete and it penetrates to form a barrier water can't get past even when driven by 98 mile-per-hour winds this time I'm going to protect my new deck with Thompson's WaterSeal a great defense against prepare expense who says you can't have super premium taste and a less billing beer [Music] the New York Giants feel this could be there here the Dallas Cowboys have pinned their hopes on a backfield of or said in Walker it's the season premiere of ABC's NFL Monday Night Football [Music] the 26 yard punt by Lewis ferry leaves Nebraska first down at their own 29 yard line and now the Huskers will have their huddle and they'll go to work with seven minutes and 43 seconds remaining to play in this first period they're playing all of their players tonight next Tuesday will be a decision of what kind of a penalty will be assessed against them how many players might have to sit down to go the infraction on admissions for the game the complimentary admission the handoff goes to the I back Keith John Jones up to about the 31 earlier today I was visiting with Tom Osborne and into the conversation came the question as to whether or not controlling those admissions is an enforceable rule most coaches say no was difficult the incident double-a investigators when they first came in said it wasn't unfortunately they don't worry about it now I gots nothing to worry about but we think the penalties a little bit excessive and what I'd like to see happen Keith would be to have the players find some passes which here in Lincoln Nebraska is a big deal because you can't even get your folks into a game if you don't have a pass you can't buy a ticket and the other thing I like to see maybe some community service work you know kids will listen in the area of drug education fifth sixth graders seventh eighth graders are kids when is school they'll listen I'd like to take a couple days off practice and maybe do some kind of work like that I think that'd be appropriate but to take eligibility way I think is too harsh in this case boarded you just saw Vaughn Shepherd the wingback take that football in a little misdirection play they will wing back counter any mound a hole over there got out there and got a heck of a block from somebody that's cleared him to pick up a first down for the Huskers up on the 46 head somebody was yelling keep Jones they sent him in motion new offensive scheme that Nebraska showed Florida State that time boy get motion this time as Prince of the wingback turns it upfield Taylor thought the ball was given away to the full-back Kahlan and Kahlan crosses into Seminole territory to the 46 brought down by Greg mule mule at 195 Kaylin at 225 they say the biggest improvement of a football team comes between the first and second weeks of the season Florida State obviously has played a game had a chance to hire not the problems take out the wrinkles Nebraska has not in thus far Florida State offense really looks a little bit sharper Zinn does Nebraska look at this another view alignment the roster is showing as Taylor bakes it was gonna go down the line with it but number 79 big Gerald Nichols who is one of the fine defensive tackles in the country's fine 260 pound you out of st. Louis brought in two tight ends went to a power i formation with all three in the backfield with Gerald Nicholas big strong senior the only returning starter from last year on that defensive line 260 pounds good nucleus build around [Applause] later coming on the officers turns up field gets just enough leverage to pick up the first down as he will be marked inside the 42 Fred Jones bring inside backer brought him down Fred is 6 3 240 a senior out of Miami Taylor is 511 195 a sophomore from San Diego Nebraska has to go back to the path a little bit more they thrown one time it was complete they lost the fumble they can't shy away from it they completed only 55 passes last year and what a team doesn't throw the defense can surround you load up just inside the 42 first down for the Huskers back to the first down marker so they'll be looking now at second down and about one the key man of course wants to beat Ducks to voci back for Nebraska down and this career perhaps at the college level ended by a knee injury let's spend a moment with him as he talked for down Broadway okay Keith ugh this must be a very difficult time for you oh yes it's real hard watching on my teammates play gaming and knowing I'm posed to be out here my last year and I really want to play with these guys so my last year going on suck how is it affected the way you're going to prepare now for what lies ahead you've got a lot of work to get that knee back into tape and now your professional chances may be hurt Oh watch I can still make me work a little bit harder I don't think it's hurtin off the best no chances at all you know I really know how to work for nothing everything all my life as a running back I can finally easy to me and I know I got this injury you know made me realize a lot of things and I think I'm gonna work my leg as hard as I have to work before and I know and when I work I my own they come out and uh a lot of good things happen to me so I'm expecting good thing to have a simple when I come back all right Doug have a good rehabilitation Keith Thank You al first down for Nebraska at the border state 29 the quarterback Steve Taylor will get a flag Ken Kalin lost his concentration and broke the play this is ammo counter count bass was caught by Wayne ousted in the end zone but everybody in the stadium saw Kim Kaelin move too soon and it wipes it out it showed me something about Steve Taylor though they always teach if you're gonna make a mistake make it full speed even though the whistle had blown and the flags were flying he went ahead carried the play out and threw it and completed it and completed it you'll see here the full-back jumps all right now the full-back does stop rather than just dig it into the hole that's when somebody can get hurt Taylor though carries out the life well I think the impressive thing about him here though is he throws that ball on the run and he throws it right on the money that's a strong arm so there are assess the five yards to make it first down to 15 the ball back to the 34 go back to the power I'd say they're still kind of turns up the about the 27 yard line and he took collected he's slow to get up but he's hit hard by Stanley Shriver he is a part of hitter as you're gonna find on the beach soccer coaches say that he can be the best quarterback ever in Nebraska he idolized former Husker Turner Gill you can see his speed he's got very good feet he also that's what it takes to be a good quarterback or a good athlete for that matter he reads things he feels things he's got what they call fast twitch muscle fiber thinking dork in a second to Jones Jones Thomas Harper's the man making the penetration on the second down play and bring down Walter just short of the 33 yard line and so now Nebraska is looking at third down and about 10 I'm remaining in the first quarter of play Florida State leading by a score of 7 that I think took the opening kickoff right down the field and Vaughn shivered other white people now all right [Applause] Jones looked like he wanted a blitz with the long Deion Sanders number two a firey sophomore out of Fort Myers Florida another outstanding athlete for the Seminoles Dale Kline is coming on with a kickin T now as the rest of will make an effort to get off the board with a 50-yard field goal the T is foot down on the 40 this is an important field goal for Dale Kline he's the kind of kid he came out and set an NCAA record seven for seven against Missouri but he also in streaky if he misses his first one he'll play a game of mental gymnastics with himself I guess Jake you make it a 49-yard field goal as they move the T up the yard Clete Bakeman will do the holding here the quarterback to stamp is good the hold is good the kick it and eager to squeeze it up distances just short and slightly to the right perhaps and so the Nebraska Cornhuskers are turned away at 1:50 to go in the first quarter have you looked at Allstate homeowner's insurance rates lately no they may be lower than you think they are [Music] bring your policy in to Allstate and compare see how low our rates really are [Music] a member of the Sears

is without ten players tonight in the wake of a Knoxville Journal report that they were guilty of the same kind of ticket transgressions which almost cost Nebraska half its team shouldn't be a problem at home against New Mexico with more than 90,000 in the stands Keith Davis has a 46 yard run and replacement field goal kicker Phil rich on for the suspended Carlos Rivera field goal 10 nothing Tennessee in the second quarter Keith and here in Lincoln the rain is still quiet though it is still a whip cleans and mortar state leading 7-nothing with a football just outside the 32 yard line Gloria and Williams are those quit back before the Seminoles and Kip's burgers been back before he goes to the sideline Oh [Music] [Applause] and a fumble but the official right they are XS no he never had control of it as Brian Davis quarterback laid a lick on him and if there's any doubt of course it's an incompletion in the rulebook but this is Ferguson who takes a pretty good look after he delivers the ball but again the pass is on the money it was a tough catch for Floyd pulled it in over his left shoulder and then of course the defensive back who read the play why does the widest people some people's out of that Nebraska goal defense came in and made the Lincoln separated him from the ball Ferguson is now four out of six on this passing second down and ten [Music] some daylight over the left side of the line and you know what that's the third time now that the border state has found some Running Room over there the left side or decry light brown but the rational mind Lee Jones a Tony Holloway are the people on that side for Nebraska they're not messing too much with the messers and buildin right at the boat and very wise of the part of Florida State it's third down and about six it'll be a short six for the gold ball is out near the 37 Ferguson back at quick drop looks around now puts it away to the sidelines and the pastor didn't complete [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] the two people going deep you see if they sit through this time we see this data principle wake back is back there and he's back there by himself this they got ten men on the line of scrimmage ten richer come to their door that's a very good protection for Louis gets the kick away I think he said give him a chance to pop out of there with it keeps your exactly right though when you say that's a mistake there are four don'ts of the kicking game don't see all sides don't rough the kicker don't let the ball hit the ground and then don't clip he let the ball hit the ground and should have made the catch it is first down [Music] [Music] kaylynn is Micah hybl and John Kelly so the second combination is in there right now for Nebraska John Kelly the iPAQ and Michael hybl the full-back lady C sports will premiere the first presentation of Monday Night Football with the New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys coming out of Texas next Monday applying Eastern Time expectancy Herschel Walker get some action in that ballgame Kelly John is a 205 pounds junior out of Lincoln Nebraska Michael hybl is 220 pounds he foo is a junior and also from Lincoln Nebraska it's unusual I think to find two players of that quality both coming from the same hometown down there University the first quarter is over so after 15 minutes of play in Lincoln the Florida State Seminoles lead the Cornhuskers by a 7 to nothing score [Music] this man is not a company president he's not a vice president they're waiting for you while his face is well known to everyone from the security guard in summary in turn his name doesn't appear on the company phone list yah he controls the productivity of this office down to the last sheet of paper and we think that's a serious problem because business should depend on a copier that works not a repairman Rico copiers built to work and work and work they say a new roof is a big deal but Goodyear said try and top this and Goodyear developed a synthetic cool thing that simply rolls on and seals tight with a hot air blower it's fast easy and economical for schools factories and buildings anywhere and it's waterproof

Curtis Mathes Curtis Magus is it really worth it to go anywhere else as we begin the second quarter of play and Memorial Stadium in Lincoln the Cornhuskers have the football third down a yard and a half Florida State sets up [Music] [Music] for a first down out around the 37 yard line that was a late fitment and could've gone awry but it didn't working for the first down about 30 yard line the door shuts off a hand so far they have one turnover in the game when they look like they might be able to go ahead and score some point Kelly gets to about 2 41 Martin made you look over there and him down the referee will define the penalty for us blipping you can see that clip coming from the outside band it was a crack back block pretty much and he just hit low and behind the they got he make an interesting point but that that feeling of if you do too that when Nebraska scores the floodgates a little bit they had to both 9 minutes and 59 seconds for that first quarter well we felt that last year in a 17-13 ballgame and that was the score at halftime and came out in the second half Prince the offense fourth dog every time the Huskers got down in the neighborhood where they could do something they'd make a mistake four times I guess it was over to say that six turnovers themselves last week so far tonight they've been clean on it first down the ball is up around the 23 and they've got to go on here the 47 to get there Burke down [Music] [Applause] Martin Mayhew number 32 was covering Rod Smith on the play vandeman covers on that side now guarantee I'd complain - I thought there was pass interference here's the buff now you can't do that and look at the lift arm that's the one that's critical incidental contact boots ball for the ball and fair both players have a right to that football but when you bring up that left arm or looking at the flag should fly and I thought he had a legitimate gripe there no official response to it its second down in about 24 that's given off to the full-back Makaha ball number 48 his fourth progress is gonna be good for a yard or so on around the 24 where Brad Jones and Jerome Nichols gang out 14 those guys are scary I'll tell you what Cowan get their ears laid back and get a crack to come at you hey whoa just take your head off they know the difference between come here in the Sikkim I'll tell you that where'd you learn now different Maryland you don't talk like that up there third down and 20 for now Jones 55 jumps into the crack now he drops off Bayless goes back to throw no pressure on it the passes away the passage almost intercepted Mayhew number 32 was the man that had the best chance to hold on to the ball and Eric Williams hit the water he made the first contact quarterback William defects his job and up may you can come down so John Crooker is in now to do the punting and hitting the football for the first time as a varsity player rod is a sophomore from Henderson Nebraska outstanding high school player here in the state of Nebraska Deion Sanders the deep man number two for Florida State kick is away got a slide off the side of his foot Sanders field hit at the 43 and Wiggles around for a while finally knocked down at the 44 that's a 34 yard punt by proper on his first varsity game we've got 13 34 to go in the first half and Florida State beats Nebraska 1700 [Music] fire brewing it's more than a way to make Stroh's and stroll light it's a family tradition passed down from one generation to another for over 200 years it's what guarantees that smooth Florida State has a new tailback now Keith Ross is in there he's a speedster stop four out of Newberry 185 pounder you give him a little daylight and see you later ball is just outside the 44 [Applause] [Music] they're left the greeting for Keith loss isn't it well the strucken is coming just about the time Chris Buckman arrived and I'll guarantee you Chris Keith wasn't going anywhere with Chris Buckman hold it he's fun to watch out there he does everything fundamentally right I mean you're supposed to keep that low center of gravity tuck that tail and get across the line of scrimmage quickly he does that and then when he comes up to hit you oh I'm telling you he puts a punch into it great athlete that's seen the ball tonight might drag it down the middle they had him wide open they throw instead to the full-back Dane Williams and Williams winning for the marker I think they mark him just short of it and Tim the head fat car door wide open down the middle that's a good call and they've got to get to him let's go back up in the sand town and get a wide view of what it looks like from the seats the cheap seats here at Nebraska this is what it looks like here and of course there's the play-action and Ferguson comes back what they did is they cleared out that side and he just slipped under the coverage Josh short of the first down third down and a half yard [Music] go back goes inside with it vying for the first down Danny Williams of $225 and it just depends on whether it's a left foot or right foot mark and he's got the right foot down and he may not have it go to measure he'd bother measuring you know that completion that they just had was in these Villa one area of Charles fryer and planted his first varsity game he's playing with one sprained hand and one broken hand sure Peter mark that with his left foot itta Bena first down when he did which Bobby Bowden's turned to makes the decision go for it a watch Tom Osborne waited to go and got it and Bobby Bachman is going to go for it this is where Bobby gets dude you don't know what he's gonna do in a situation like this bloated feel the side ends he's got three tight ends out to walk cross on his sleep he kids not makin the entire defense to flow to the less traffic promise of twist [Applause] at the play one of the big concerns at Florida State had in the offseason with rebuilding that offensive line they lost Jamie Dukes they love China and on it you can see the difference here only 209 Florida State runs have gone for flush yardage here again great pursuit by the Nebraska defense they come across establish a new line of scrimmage meet everybody on that line of scrimmage make the contact and take them back oh my that's a big road more people ride Monroe shocks and struts than any other brand and right now get up to $20 in wreaths the Orangemen lead in the Carrier Dome 1714 back to keep Jesse here in Lincoln Nebraska it's a seven or nothing ballgame the Husker defense rose up and stopped the Seminoles on the fourth down try get the ball back first down at their own 47 Steve Taylor outstanding as a starting quarterback in tonight's game six out of 33 leading Florida State's total offense because the huge photo right now is only 31 yards so Taylor will pull the trigger the busters loaded up on the right side and he goes that way and his past Singh in completos Vaughn Shepard the junior out of st. Paul Minnesota the wingback fell down and I think he had him baby had been able to keep his feet for 23 yards but you saw earlier off the touchdown that was called back because of the penalty that he threw that ball about 35 yards it opened it on the run so he is very strong second down and 10 [Music] right-handed balls but most of the time they break the play and come to the left side the wing back when you see that wing back coming this way oftentimes you could expect you to get it on a counter to the side side but that time Taylor kept the ball as Brinson was in motion and Gerald Nichols brought him down the pickup on the play is about three yards it'll be third down and seven Florida State is just loading up now they're putting everybody up in close because they've got that feeling they're gonna run now they've been playing a two-team zone the way to attack it is in the middle there is daylight down the middle no question about it later hold it right takes off with it now he throws up incomplete just as it gets to the sideline flag on the far side of the field asked the line of scrimmage when he threw the ball when he turned up veal the marker was right in front of him but he was searching for somebody to throw the ball to and didn't see the marker and he took about a step and a half past the marker or past the line of scrimmage he's an interesting talent though it shattered all of the rushing records of Marcus Allen in San Diego's Lincoln High School also broke all the passing records of Marcus Allen's brother Damon movin a ladle full of things against the optim-r on the neutral zone Walsall ban so on fourth down John Cooper is in for his second month at the Cornhusker his first one was 34 yards Deion Sanders is back he ran around for a while but actually floated on the 2 yards on the punt return but he's dangerous penny the flag goes and the fun is away and it's a good one this time Sanders back at the team gets away from a couple but now he is roughed back around the 12 yard line a 38-yard punt with pretty good hang time that time rod Smith down field to make the tackle let's see about the penalty offside Florida State it'll be the Seminoles fall back around the 11 yard line I would think Nebraska would decline that penalty because it's not really going to help them in the area of possession and they've got the Seminoles backed up well in their own territory let's go to al Trautwig for this special story you'll enjoy it kids you know when the silk turns brown it's harvest time on the cornfields and the men of Nebraska the farmers like Ed McKay has been a farmer for 70 years or really what the horn corn Huskers are all about but speed on the field and here is very important George show us how you do it unbelievable George that was very quick but you know these are tough times for farmers George how many bushels a corner you're trying to sell right now oh I imagine United States a million the bushel that would like to get rid of we have a terrible trip rasul-allah bring all right George keep it back to you indeed he is is brought to by they pull back vein Williams swinging it out there he would have had six or seven yards had he been able to hang on to it there now wherever he's not wine Nebraska is called corn Husker corn Husker was originally used by the University of Iowa that they chose eventually Hawkeye's down there you know better than that I like that you're impressive fiction effect from Keith Almanac [Applause] the loss on the play as chief Ross brings it up to about the nine and he was lucky to get to that far and the Nebraska defensive people now are really beginning to swarm well Jeff Tom check the quarterback on that side read the play immediately came up and really made a nice stick on the running back that time let me tell you Jeff Tom that's got to be a pretty good football player because he's starting a head of Brian Washington who started here at the breast as a freshman and you can count on the fingers of one hand the number of freshmen who will started it's impressive he's also 61 220 pounds it's big for a cornerback it's third down and 12 from the nine get Ferguson hands the ball to keep Rock Bluff isn't going anywhere really furnishing they really jumped in that time trying to loose for the football but fit to do that however it brings a fourth down and Louis Berry has going to be running out of his endzone Tony Holloway gets the first hit on Keith lofts all that defensive play 26 and 44 yards the two punts tonight by Lewis very very average when he gets it out and puts it way up into the night sky all the way back to the Nebraska 49 Brinson is gonna lose yardage as he retreats to find some help and Dana Brinson is brought down back around the 46 that was a 41-yard punt by louis berry so Louis has done his job his team leads stolen bases and it racist and [Music] strobes fire brewed for smooth consistent taste [Music] in January Nissan

meanwhile Kansas City and Texas are scoreless in the first California leading Texas by six and a half games in the American League West back to Keith Jackson a seminar Thibault gave at that time 956 remaining in the first half the isolation behind Steve Taylor for the Huskers looks to throw it gets it off to the sidelines over there yes see our sentences with him but it would hide the air for the bowl and came down out of my let's see if we can see his feet now again they go to the corner rather than going down the middle I'd like to see him speak somebody down there but here again he takes to that little roll to the left and puts the ball right on the money now here he comes you only need one foot in there it is good to have to throw did not have control with the key to the play is right what a gryphon comes in and tied in now for Nebraska they go to a double tied in alignment at 9:52 boy second [Music] he was they can do that all night long I'm telling Lorna's Davis playing a lot of too deep zone there's two beds back there you can take a guy and sneaking down the middle and until I make a correction or change their defense that plate will be open let me ask you this question now Taylor threw the ball to a tight end big man obviously not as fast as the wide receivers most of the deep passing practice probably has done to wide receiver he passed her people call the play now disagree with you in a second third down and 10 Seiler again sets up gets pressure runs out again hits him at the 20-yard [Applause] [Music] [Applause] here's the ground-level look what we just saw again he's got a man open but he sees the pressure coming from both sides steps up into the pocket now business where his speed comes in old he broke ball of Marcus Allen running records in high school good Juke great speed got to the corner now that's a pretty interesting read for a young sauce you read and quickly built the pressured and got out of there first down the rested just short of the Florida State 24 [Music] [Music] welcome to the Steve Taylor show in for the extra point they apply [Music] [Applause] the coaches say that this kid idolized Turner deal that's why I came to Nebraska Turner Gill being one of the greatest quarterbacks here at corn Husker history but this one I think is gonna be a tremendous quarterback they say I'm players greatness is determined by a long period of success this is the beginning of the journey we'll be back State Farm is there when women need life insurance whether she brings home a paycheck or works full-time at home nobody does more for a family than a mother does that's why so many women talk to State Farm agents about life insurance we listen we help make sure that everything a woman wants to do for her kids gets done I know

Sports young mr. Taylor's having quite a night isn't it we're all even at 7-7 with 911 to play in the first half lime will kick off and the deep people for Florida State will be Keith Ross and they're at Holloman now Nebraska's defense has been dominating Florida State in the last two positions let's see what the Seminoles can do first of all they need some field position kicking off from the 35 yard line college football this year new rules change the most obvious one and they're in Holloman skitters and slides his way back out here the 28 yard line and they do have reasonably good field position now as they go to work the numbers they're onto the rest just hold him drive I think that's a good rule to kicking off from the 35 feet because they said they were having less than half the kickoff return when they move the football up so they moved it back a little bit Sammy Smith is in for the first time tonight take 220 pounds [Music] and it's complete the fat Carter is tied in boy to hate that play when I was playing on the outside they brought him from the right side about dragged him across the middle all the way to the opposite side underneath all the coverage this guy he's 251 pounds look at him and when the pro scouts evaluated all the Collins talent last year in the country they ranked him as the number two tight end today Oklahoma second down at about two Ferguson is the semi Smith and Smith who has the first half man who has had a history of injury since we arrived on campus at a pretty good ballgame a year ago here in the opener against Nebraska they'd fight well but then I've got a suspect and was lost for the season ladies had the flu he said this is that back and he is not yet British sound but they didn't have a first down at their own 34 yard line for Florida State Jim Ferguson breaks out of the fact and runs for about seven or eight yards but I think you're gonna get a penalty call here against Florida State it is against the Seminoles and while they mark off the penalty let's talk about next Saturday we'll be in South Bend Indiana one of the legendary places in all of college football as the Michigan Wolverines move in Michigan the choice of some people to win the national champions emotion laughing first then it is also the debut of blue hopes as the hell plan of the Fighting Irish will be there next Saturday for you at 3:00 Eastern Time notre dame hosting honey Wolverines of Michigan first down and 15 234 [Applause] lose the five yards from the 39 and Ferguson shoots it down the middle Irv gainer had his hands on it but Rose fryer had his hands on dinner and it was close to being too soon second very fallacy in his opening game as the head man of the acronym zippers and he's leading say load 21 to nothing we wish you well too easy to eat off any awfully nice man advice man 34 yard line second down and 10 for the Seminoles second down and 15 for the seminar [Music] 205 pounder David Palmer and Dane Williams play that position as well and they are 225 but they were trying to polyp in the quicker man over the left side Nebraska is controlling the line of scrimmage right now that's been the difference in the linebackers are filling the pursuit lanes as quickly as any linebackers we've seen and little number 10 out on the right corner for Nebraska the quarterback Charles fryer is an impressive young athlete he comes up quickly he's playing with a sprained hand a broken hand again he's staying right in the hip pocket of receiver and [Music] almost intercepted [Applause] Brian Davis this next baby but I'll tell you what this looks like a bear pala scoop this up here's the shortstop comes in and just nails in one hand and pulls it in and hit the ground that's not an interception they certainly called it one and they've come up and marked the ball of the 43 it was offside Nebraska he ever watch it goes right through there to wipe it out they're both sides against do you think they'll fold down yeah they had that ball marked up on the 43 and pointing the other way I know they did they got lucky instead the penalty wipes out what has been apparently in Arizona least from the angle we can see and Florida State riparian retains the ball just over the 40 which stirred down and call it nine [Applause] get Ferguson back he saw down he goes Danny Noonan 6 for 280 pounds and he is mobile hostile intent watch this now she's talking about dominating the line of scrimmage he's off with the snapper that fallin has already established a new line of scrimmage 5 yards back in Florida State defense double-team and he still flies off that comes back in pursuit and takes Ferguson down oh that's a play that's a football club kid he's got a young beautiful grown man now the ball fakes and Nebraska bounced he's been rolling back up the video and it'll be put down at the 39 yard line a 24 yard pot by Lois Barry what are the best putters of the country but have a hard time tonight because our cheer of the cold and rain the average better than 43 last season at 144 5 140 one of the other two have been in the 20 of course I'll tell you when you drop the ball you're searching around the ball and you got tons of little anxiety and moves it up for the 44 for five yards but daddy I'm Sanders remember that mean Deion Sanders six feet 180 a sophomore out of Fort Myers you'll hear that a lot years to come experts say what kind of athlete Deion Sanders is you've seen him here on the football field perform extremely well he also is a 1985 fifth round draft pick in the Kansas City Royals baseball second down 577 ball game pitch the key on the right side first down at midfield running on that right side behind John MacCormack Tom will der Vaart Cooper the center Stan Parker's on the left side with Rob nagging bleeding from left to right along the line the roster goes to 65 to 72 50 to 65 and mr. welder is 280 we told you that Steve Taylor broke all of Marcus Allen's rushing records in high school Keith Jones has four three three speed fast his Husker in the history of football at this school and he broke all of Gale Sayers records in high school well that's not going bear hunting with a stick that's coming loaded net to you a first down Huskers [Music] Seiler gives it to Joan some thunder and lightning along that right side that time as Paul McGowan that big linebacker came through the crack and you could hear it over in the next County when they collide it gained the yard and a ball on that play Dana Brinson comes in looks like the wingback so the messengers tonight for Tom Osborne Brinson comes wide to the bottom of your picture Jason Gambel's up the top Taylor spins around winds it up in cities out there by himself and a lot of white shirts fishing him and they bring him down at the 40 Martin made you've got to him first number 32 a junior from Tallahassee just short of the 40 and just short of the first down whole thing they put there were four white shirts out there and they threw two brenson he was all by himself I'm not sure that Dana wouldn't like to have stop and yell for help pretty safe play though I don't care what defense rate he takes a three step drop unloads it quickly and it's a very short pants it's third down [Music] hey where the quarterback keeps it over the right side here had the first bag mark Cooper the Center the pivot man on that play six to 250 and another in the long line of great sinners from Nebraska Virginia Tech seven over Cincinnati and look at this hello Southwest Louisiana found nothing over Oklahoma State everybody will be getting to it next weekend and we'll be at South in Michigan and Notre Dame and it is the first town by the length of the football number 88 comes in at a wide receiver spot for Nebraska Rod Smith and Vaughn Shepherd returns at wing back and the Huskers have it first down at the Florida State 39 350 to go first half 7-7 ball games are good one Keith Jones don't emotional now he comes back the other way over the right side he picks up the beefy puppets big eight 60-yard dash champions in track to get going he'll get three yards second down and seven I'm gonna watch all these guys with speed something I never had faced the time he with a sundial and state winning big tonight from the 37th Florida State written off to the full-back caleb is low left at the line of scrimmage and it's Gerald Nichols again big number 79 the senior from st. Louis he discovered Florida stay for many years and when you look back not too long ago Florida State was one of those teams that always struggled in defense used to give up a lot of points when they win they'd win 40 to 40 or when they lose the beam by giving up quite a few points but they've really turned things around and they've established a pretty good defense back in bill petersen's today they used to a lot of points in ammeter those guys they roll up Shepherd goes down Thomas harp the nose guard and come out of there and come across and grabbed him and I think Thomas cuts the facemask I'm guessing I don't know sure he'll have those good eyes play just took you long to develop they brought it back on the other side all the way around and here's the facemask there's no question about that now look at flagrant or not there's a 5 or 15 they're gonna go all the way down to 13 with it yes sir you know why because he had his arm fully extended he came whippin it across its mass density point it almost ripped his head off though a thick penalty against the Seminole just inside there 22 with 2 minutes and 10 seconds to go in this first nabbed abrasca now trying to untie it [Applause] Steve Taylor's going back the old wing back counter to the sway and Brinson is drop short of the line of scrimmage that's a good defensive play and number 38 Paul McGowan was right there to make it Nebraska ran that play effectively against Florida State last year it looks like Bobby hasn't really geared up for and ready looking for anything coming back on a counter or trap anything of that magnitude Nebraska's run that play against the world for years I mean a team has led the nation in rushing for the last five [Applause] second down at 12 24 Steve Saylor is coming around [Music] there's a lot of Asians ami will go he was busting heads with Fred Jones and I'll guarantee you that Steve Taylor even at 195 pounds is gonna lose that head button contest because Jones weighs 240 pounds and it is debts prior at that inside linebacking position I'm out Nebraska 116 to go birthday the day small cars are tougher than ever on oil they're high compression engines not only rev high

the unblemished career of Mike Tyson and his meteoric rise continued tonight he technically knocked out Alonso Ratliff in the second round of their heavyweight bout meaning to Tyson now will go on if everything goes as scheduled to meet Trevor Berbick for the WBC heavyweight championship in November a victory there would make him the youngest man ever to win a heavyweight boxing championship still unbeaten Mike Tyson another TKO Heath well these two heavyweights we got here in Lincoln Nebraska tonight I get to know him pretty well the Huskers trying to untie this thing now the ball is just inside the Florida State 23 Seminoles got hit with a 15 yard personal foul as a result of the facemask ball and you've got 1:16 to go with the first half 7 7 ballgame the Huskers have two timeouts remaining Florida State with three right now the Seminoles are most concerned with the rest and possession of the ball it is third down and Baylor is passing his 3fa from 32 yards running has been the big weapon tonight for the Cornhuskers [Music] kaylynn bust his way down to about the 16 yard line that'll leave them four yard short of the first down in comes the kicking team that's alright they were in the four down area but they didn't want to take a chance and turning the ball over it's the first game safe play good quick trap inside didn't get the first down but it sets up the field goal it'll be 33 yards he was short at 49 [Applause] [Music] Lakeland gets it down flying pizza crowd says it's whoop sure [Applause] seven and now let's have a look at the respective campuses faculty members at Florida State University have been recognized with such honors as the Nobel the peut-être and membership in the National Academy of Sciences know nationally and internationally for research service and publishing FSU faculty exert their greatest impact teaching the university's twenty two thousand five hundred students thanks to this educational foundation Florida State graduates excel in virtually every walk of life an example of quality making a difference the Faculty of Florida State University [Music] financial know-how you don't get ahead in today's world without it and what better way to learn about investment in the real world than to use real money it's happening at the University of nebraska-lincoln students are outperforming the Wall Street wizards there are risk and reward but this is learning for the real world the University of nebraska-lincoln learning that makes a difference Florida State three timeouts to work with that but not much time remaining fifty-one seconds flying kicks off 20 and down at the 27 in penalty Flags applied and we might have another facemask the way he went down keep you mentioned the time there's 46 seconds left they start with pretty good field position if it is a facemask and leave and move it farther up the field watch for Ferguson to put four receivers now into the offense they'll go to that that hurry up offense here's the play again let's look for that base man there it is right there and again the arm is extended the head is whipped should be 15 and it is 15-yard facemask against the kicking team Forester with 46 seconds three timeouts the ball is resting at the 43-yard line Dante Wiley that's the call on that [Applause] let's see what your person can do 10/7 the rest of Leeds Paul goes to say miss miss miss still got it look at great speed gets a block one man [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] loose from the final man and Sammy's 57-yard mark playback gainer didn't put a hard luck I'm just cut him off now watch Bobby Bowden one of one of his tail backs really to stand out he hasn't had that he had to play a lot of pictures this is one of the most heavily recruited backs in the history of Florida State he runs straight up and down he runs like Herschel Walker's got great speed great vision you see his cut here once he's into the secondary people won't have a prayer to cut him off he got that final blocking from Gator Gator dude was getting away at the defensive back took it the rest of the way 14 seconds Florida State goes bouncing back to the lead 14 deficiencies good clock utilization there one play 57 yards 14 seconds that run was not without some contact because there were three people that got their hands on him I believe another look at it it's worth seeing again well by the 15-yard penalty allowed Florida State to really have more availability to go to a play like this once they run through your Pittsfield fake the reverse and once again with that kind of speed and that size one Smith has been to the secondary it's Katie bar the door that blocked by herp Gator though probably was the one I thought that Nebraska man had a pretty good shot at getting him and he just shook off don't pretend Charles fire down near the goal line that they get on in so Tammy Smith 219 pounds speedster as made Bobby happy you know Sammy said he was a little bit rusty last week first game you mentioned all the difficulty he had was a rib problem being Banga than having the food sitting out he was redshirted last year although he played against Nebraska game seventy yards not very impressive but then he was injured and they sat him out for the rest of the year so some of that rust now getting knocked off the shingles and here he comes he's out and back in the ballgame and he looks pretty sharp Florida State kicking off now MIT will kick at Terry Rodgers freshman son of Johnny Rodgers Heisman Trophy winner at Nebraska back on the goal line along with spawn Sheppard very short kickoff bounces in so short pouches over the head a Vaughn Shepherd and he has to pursue it all the way through the intro because he had touched it so that'll come out to the 20 with an even 30 seconds to go in the first half now in the past Nebraska has not had a very good hurry-up offense because they didn't throw the ball effective strokes they only completed 55 passes last year Kathryn Clayton completed only 35% it's not that they didn't throw that much it's just as they didn't effectively execute John Keller the I by marca high bowl is the full-back Baylor is the quarterback Beeler gives it off the John Kelly Angelia runs into Brett Jones and now he goes after one yard [Music] ten seconds left your Florida State now they won't even get off the play but you want to loosen up the case they do try to go deep they won't get it off I don't not sure they really want to they'll go to the clubhouse in this posture your halftime score then arrests the Cornhuskers and the Florida State Seminoles Seminole 57 yard run by Santa Smith take the halftime lead 14 to 10 leave it to the good hands PM phasis on youth these days it's great that Allstate appreciates the wisdom and dignity of us mature folks we can save 10% on Allstate homeowners 14 to 10 defects in Tim Brant out crackling we are waiting for Derrick Schmidt to kick it off the deep people are Terry Rodgers and Vaughn Shepherd and it's a short kick again Shepherd comes up lets it bounce into the puddle owner doesn't go anywhere fix it up or goes its way up the sidelines and goes out of bounds at about the 24 yard line keep the difference in the first half was Nebraska state homeowners leave 14 to 10 defects in Tim Brant out quick we are waiting for Derek Schmitz to kick it off the day people are Terry Rogers and Vaughn Sheppard and it's a short kick again Sheppard comes up lets it bounce into the puddle owner doesn't go anywhere fix it up the keep the difference in the first half with Nebraska's inability to stop the big play a Florida State's 177 total yards 120 of those came on three plays well Florida State on the other hand made Nebraska work hard for everything it got Nebraska top of position was almost twenty minutes keep Jones and Kim Kaelin open at the full-back and I back position Jones the I back has the ball wedges over the right side and gets out to about the 26 close to the 27 first quarter stats changing now the second halftime stats see look at that look at that time of possession down the bottom there for Nebraska and they only got ten points out of it but at of the 177 total yards as we said 120 of those in just three plays the 27 second down [Music] Steve Taylor was a big night in quarterback loves the faster Dana Brinson and Brinson is buried in by number 37 Stanley Schieber the sophomore out of Tifton Georgia link Brian Bosworth short of the Trent or Jim McMahon whoever started this stuff third down and the four and a half more Nebraska could be a pretty good sized play right here the Huskers are need a little momentum to get something going here Brett Jones jumps up in the middle of the gap takes the ball to don't keep it throws downfield fastest incomplete and Nebraska will have to go to the five Milliken the tide in again defending was the strong safe speed Standish Iver and the reason he's a strong fishery is he's absolutely fearless and he is a real hitter dion sanders backs back to field the putt now as john croaker comes in to punt for the third time 34 and 38 is to previous kicks just beginning the second half of play a little pressure on it this time but gets a good kick out of there Sanders indicates fair catches and runs past the ball as if it moves away to his left and he couldn't accept it very well without a risking the fumble only 32 yards on the high hanging putt here again out Keith every week I'm gonna try and find in whatever Stadium we are in the best seat in the house this week it belongs in Section 127 row one seat one - I read Provo who hasn't missed a game in 35 years Irene you realize this is the best seat in the house how does it feel to see a night game here at Memorial Stadium all right Keith if you don't mind I'm gonna stay here and watch the game for a while I don't blame you a penalty flag little short lob thrown out by chip Ferguson to the Sammy Smith and Smith is shaking off that place and finally thinking out of bounds on the Nebraska 43 but let us see about the penalty flag this being the first night game we have had games finish under the lights here at Memorial Stadium but this is the first one that ever started on it's against Florida State the Big Dance wiped out I want to know what happened to the first one that was didn't that seemed to drop week two he was in the island sit there for long to the 33 referee Paul Schmidt defining the penalty for you I'm remaining 32 1327 old lady 14 10 keep be able to make note also that last week in its opening game Florida State turned the ball over six times in this game Florida State has yet the stuff for a turnover and it's starting to rain again first down and 15 Furguson hands the ball to Sammy Smith and he'll have about a yard maybe I don't think even got a yard in way he was racked up he might not have made it back to the line of scrimmage Brad Tyra he pinched it in on the left side Kansas City Missouri we attained token here number 83 he did not get number 95 Danny Noonan apparently trying to anticipate and he obviously showed what he had in mind that is to slip off of the shoulder of the guard and penetrate and he gets dinged for a five-yard offside penalty so that'll make it second down in about 12 you know a lot of these players say that Brad tyre is an inspiration to them because of the problems that he can he speaks openly of the tragedy and his family was dead I guess in a strange way had lost or had not become himself shot his mother then took his own life and Brad now spokes of it openly and says that it motivates and he has graduated already heaps from the University of Nebraska in four years and now as a grad student and continues to use that motivation once desperately to make something of his life once desperately to help others and continues to work as an inspirational force Sammis Ron takes him up to the 39 yard line where Parsons and fryer made the stop on him number 82 checks in that's Randy Wyatt a junior from Marianna Florida he comes in at the split in position replacing herb gainer herb hopping a little bit right now apparently took a whack to the leg third down and [Music] just pass away it might be intercepted nope Brian Davis was the man had a shot at it but Brian couldn't get his legs under him to make the jump for the ball and ran a little too far the fast was intended for Randy white but I might also point out that chip Ferguson threw the ball under some pressure I think Brian Davis is the premier defensive back in the country Kevin sub 4 for speed he's got great agility that Tommy knocked it down I think he misjudged up a little bit he could have had an interception might have pudding is tricky though light rain is falling again Luis berry for the punt that's more like it for berry that looks like Luis berry that is on power to field it back on the races from both the plow Florida State recovers at the Nebraska 35 a 51-yard but a big return set up by theta Brinson he's hit he pumps it up and Brian Davis while Florida State they've got a Brian Davis to [Music] you can't win a football game or at least you have a tough time my name is to put the ball on the ground now Nebraska won nine games in a row last year after its opening loss to Florida State but in that loss they puts the ball and they've turned the ball over four times last year here it is again it's the second time tonight they put it on the ground Florida State in scoring position down the snap is just inside chip Ferguson handing the ball off is clobbered by charles fryer the right quarterback but he had already given it away to dane williams the full-back and he just was bumping his head against the rock wall they didn't go anywhere it'll be second down and 10 a little speech that comes to the bottom of the picture late to save his fifth shift Ferguson keeps it and he's thrown out of bounds by Tony Holloway the defensive end State at home and not give out of bounds at the 30 so he got a little more than four yards on the carry and so they flipped the marker to third down and just over five 14 to 10 the Seminoles have the lead over the Cornhuskers random white top of the picture Solomon bottom of the picture on third five [Applause] goes down the middle cat Carter Carter fighting to get to the marker and I think he might have made it it'll be closed is a left foot right foot work that's exactly right to use the right foot it's gonna be awfully close it was a great call by Bobby Bowden in Florida State third down and five was it that's a good time to flip good time to blitz it annoys the wrapkin did bring the man the linebackers to blitz put pressure it get us in the face of Ferguson as quickly as they could they did but it was a quick drop pass to the tight end underneath they didn't give it to him it'll be fourth and short and they're going for Ferguson the quarterback and he didn't have possession of the ball the offensive front was moving moving too soon I think in that photo folly our penalty flags and we might be looking at Derek Smith here at a moment she see that helmet come flying out of there without a body in it that's scary the deadbolt well here karmush MIT there's your movement right there three of them going too soon Derek Smith brings the kicking T onto the field now and they put the tea down at the 37 it'll be a 47-yard er his longest is 54 this is within his reign it gets away [Applause] 47-yard field goal the ball hung on and went just inside the right upright and it's 17 to 10 now Florida State every Monday through Friday my corner drives his Chevy s10 4x4 to game against New Mexico at home the key play here a touchdown interception return for Charles Davis at a point when New Mexico was driving for a touchdown that might have tied it at 21-21 that made it 28 14 another touchdown has opened the margin wider in now Tennessee appears to be home free back to keep Jackson Raiders pelting down again on the crowd of 75,000 865 at Memorial Stadium University of Nebraska they're 144 consecutive sellout their football team however is trailing 17 to 10th the Florida State Seminoles will kick off now with Terry Rogers and Vaughn Sheppard deep two turnovers by Nebraska at water state just catch the last one in for a three quarter [Applause] and brings the ball out to the 37 you know what if he goes left instead of right he's still running you're exactly right but a hole it's it much easier to do that up here than it is down there here he comes now you watch everybody has a job right here everybody wants to take somebody in it in a lane because they know the kickoff team comes down at specific lanes here's the opening now he cuts to his right if he goes to his left here it's wide open over by the 40 yard marker he cut back inside that's where the pursuit was but good field position just outside the 37 with Keith Jones and Ken Kalin in there and Jones to the 40 and Brett Jones brings down it has been a bruiser football game really has that been some licks late on folks Wake Forest won their opener 21 think there's even Ole Miss winning tonight and Mississippi State Mayo down Syracuse are leading them 24 to 17 as Nebraska looks now at second down and 7 from the 14 [Applause] Steve Taylor down the line on the option outside it goes to Joan get the Block in the lead gets the first down as he turns the corner at the 49 yard line went out passed down this chamber a fat Carter getting a retake early sprained an ankle we have not seen Victor Floyd either since that opening drive at tailback for Florida State percent his fifth turned in at 57 your honor it figures he's going to get the ball going of the second half he farted our Nebraska has to take some solace in the fact that it has moved the ball effectively it has been their own mistakes that it stopped absolutely first half Cornhuskers therefore tonight his way through the first town just inside the Florida State for a there was some Authority in the bucking on the right side that time he chose a job he's a very very talented tailback we mentioned that he has the fastest huskers camper with four three speed but he is also a little bit rustic you know he didn't play in the spring he was hurt that out had off the scopic surgery on his knee and rehabilitated that so they take up a little while to get back in the groove looks like you get in there now Taylor coming on the option keeps it and runs up the tree on Sanders and Gerald nickel taco my and he will have a two-yard pickup Cincinnati the victory over Virginia Tech 24 20 and there is a stunning score Southwest Louisiana leading Oklahoma State by 10 points second down at 8:40 braska John Kelly is now have the eye back with Palin staying at fullback [Music] fighting at all he can get out of it Stan Parker the left guard had drifted out to the left side to be the lone blocker in front of John Kelly Taylor makes this thing work he comes back feels the pressure and got it out there in a hurry rather than worrying about trying to set it up nicely and be deceptive back there he just got it has been Kelly as fast as he could and it worked Kelly had that blocker you talked about and he made up a third down and two that is a major league hit right therefore I want to tell you that's a major league hit division 1a Paul McGowan 38 linebacker Paul McGowan made nine solo tackles in the first half look at a no stutter step comes to the ball immediately that's reaction time and touch the tail skies the eyes and drive right under the chin of the ball carrier well that's a ride L under a cynic and put a little Aitken pain on your face a loss of the yard it's fourth down and three and the rest is going at the Florida State 33 [Applause] this back Baylor's got the ball gets away Oh most broken he's got the first down at the to [Applause] Florida State was all bunched up expecting power up the middle or maybe a play to the open side and steady came back the other way Taylor comes outta there now and that reverse pivot after the fake look at it people looking right at the outside man what's that outside linebacker commits himself to the pinch man he just takes off that's a good read by the quarterback 15 carries 111 yer [Applause] that is a high step they say he has a vertical leap of 37 inches he fall into the term they've marked him just inside the 16 yard line Brinson comes back Willie Griffin comes in and tied in very thousand one is opened redacted 35 been up it is second down and about five Taylor flips it back the downes and jaws discs chewed up by number 37 Stanley Shimer were lost back to the 19 the good adjustment by Florida State that play has been hurt them it just same play different formation this time they brought everybody in and a powerful nation with your tight ends they had a power I made it look like a little trap play a team down to st. breathe now the defense has everybody has to stop it there that defensive guard of the middle man have to take this to dive man then the defensive tackle takes the quarterback in the outside man takes the pitch man Taylor's looking at third down and eight Bob's it away and the pass is incomplete and you kron4 Drock Smith Eric Williams defending on it and Taylor didn't have much zip on it he was beginning to lose control of it and for a moment I thought he wanted to run it the penny lopped it and he's got a flag I'm not so sure they thought the pants was going to come wobbling in like that see if I'm not mistaken Taylor was hit as he released the ball and it was a slowly developing pass watch it here's the hit now the ball just kind of wobbled contact is made right there before just an instant before the ball hit and I think it's a good call that's pretty close call it is an extremely close call but watch it here see the ball is not coming in quickly here comes the defensive back there's the bump right there yeah and there's the ball it is a good [Applause] [Music] if it has been more than 15 yards it would have been a 15-yard penalty but it was less than 15 yards and so it goes down at that point where it is first down and go for Nebraska at the Florida State sinks throw the Seminoles mistake now and Nebraska's knocking on the front door hailer down the line on the [Applause] back in the old days Nebraska would load up and the rules of the game would change and be straight ahead no fair dodging but you've got a new dimension in the old fence now be paler and I'm telling you he reads well he's got great reflexes and instincts and Paul McGowan random snowmen employ mr. tacker it goes up [Applause] [Music] 17 let's take another look at the play this time let's watch the linebacker Paul McGowan 38 all right now he comes up toward the ball ice skates and slides down there let's see if he can make the attack no he's got the opportunity to make it but he's out of control the weight takes it past the ball carrier he slides off rather than trying to gain control and dropping that tail of getting that leverage and if it touches down to Preston gentlemen start your engines this year

was with Pat Carter the tight end for Florida State he had a agonizes Nebraska marched up the field but he is back in the game although limping slightly as I saw him get back out there it was one of the fastest tape jobs I've seen in a while thank you though Jim Ferguson now with his instructions stuck to the video 24 yard line first down ade Williams the full-back and Santa Smith to fail back or I back if you like [Applause] pass away in the basket incomplete and that was one that could not have thrown because Dave Williams was covered you know I think I disagree with you there Keith though because Ferguson dropped back to throw he looked out there and he saw Williams was covered he checked off flick to the middle nobody else is open to then he threw it away threw it high and out of bounds and his fist going around the left corner might have been available if he too had a little more time he threw it away rather than take the sack mark like a downtown a flag that goes up across 225 for about a yard yard and a half Roderick Thomas the man on the tackle let's see about the penalty the clip against water state even five footage to go at the third quarter Seminoles now making mistakes and hurting themselves as we looked ahead to our premiere of Monday Night Football in New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys from Irving Texas at 9:00 Eastern Time next Monday night here on

Lombardi Trophy candidate came into the school too now he's over 280 he's fans he's strong they say Hampel playing defensive 22 he wants to he thrives on it and that's a great thing and now the seven all of them early in the whole third down [Applause] about 31 years the middle Smith and as a yard that's all the little thumb lures period a punt out of his end zone and he isn't going to have [Music] but here experience and he's one of the better putter that anybody there it is Barry but he needs a good snap [Applause] they're gonna come back and look for the returned because they know they're gonna accept the ball good field position if they handle it or almost blocked anyway number 17 Leo Miller almost got in there and block that thing it's fair court by bond Shepard at the maestra 49 good kick 49-yard punt by Lewis berry out of the intro [Music] this is him the biggest car buying news in decades Chevrolet announces the big one an unprecedented 2.9 annual percentage rate

I should say and that is a disappointing loss for Syracuse which had high expectations last year Illinois stumbled under the weight of great expectations this year they are rather quietly perceived in preseason and they opened with an easy victory over Howard Schnellenberger Louisville team 23 to nothing as new quarterback Shane lamb who'd never thrown a pass before for Illinois was 13 of 24 for 223 yards and had a touchdown pass back to Lincoln watch this Lewis Perry punting out of the endzone number 17 senior cornerback Cleo Miller is going to come flying in there and almost blocked that fun but he missed it and very produced 249 yarder out of the endzone to put Nebraska in possession of the ball first down at their own 49 last time the Huskers had it they put at the end zone the time 1717 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] pick up four yards on the carry close to five Brett Boone searched through the debris and found him linebackers are getting the work out now Nebraska has found something that's working and it's that option flood or out tuning the end so they keep going back to it so the linebackers now have to really scrape off and get there quickly [Applause] Taylor is inside the 35 for a nebraska first down starting to take over the line of scrimmage it would appear that is exactly right they are starting to control that line of scrimmage but another thing Keith we just talked about the effectiveness they're finding on the corner the linebackers have to scrape and get there quickly what happens that time they came back in the middle linebacker for dare they're worried about stick at the corner so the mixture plays well [Applause] there will be two yards short of the first down for when he turns on the Jets he does hold it out of there doesn't he four three three speed that's not even fair Nebraska came in we mentioned at the top of the show playing with golf a lot of young talent these guys are very young the young football team and I think they're starting to feel more comfortable now with a half under their belt they come out here in the second half it looks like they've got some new bigger more confident [Music] the right side for the first down grant June Dominique Jones but John McCormack and company on the right side open the big hole for up and help from the lead block of Ken Taylor linebackers are getting to work as you can see in the expression on his face took a pretty good lick that time he also delivered pretty good likley Pete Jones is a tough guys there's Fred Jones a 6-3 241 pounds and he meant heap tone the Keystone's if he's put his weight up 295 pounds now don't go submergence Taylor hands the ball off to Shepard and Shepard coming counting over the left side we'll have a couple of yards on the ferry you had mentioned a while ago that John seemed to be warming to the chore his first 11 carry a 29 yard but his last six carries you have about 35 36 yards and again it goes back to the weight training program they have here at Nebraska you know it's interesting how big and how strong these players get over a period of time he came in at 170 pounds maybe moving everyone still be 5 he's all those 200 [Applause] and idea literally got no gain out of it [Applause] ball was thrown to Rod Smith Smith was taken down by Martin Mayhew and a flag comes whistling out of the pocket Martin's a little bit upset didn't think it should have been called I didn't think there was any question about it here it is again it's just that quick reverse to step drop and throw it's a quick slant in pattern now here

down time to go to the end zone try for a touchdown but instead they settle for the first down you know John Kelly's a fullback in there now for for the tailback rather for Nebraska with all the

the Seminoles have pushed around a bit here in the second half detail across the fro [Applause] [Music] [Music] and is the perfect throw good play-action fake but Taylor I just stand there and wait for Bond shepherds of blow by the defense effect had to be a mistake on the DB that night and the coverage there had to be a mix-up there yeah but that gets in run the extra point it is a 46-yard touchdown way and it propels the brusca into a 14-point lead [Music] kicking off down to Keith Ross and gerod Holliman the deep people for Florida State [Applause] good chop return by God for the 36 let's take another look at the touchdown play the pass from Taylor to Vaughn Shepherd now the defensive back well that side of the field for Florida State is Alfonso Williams he's just a sophomore there had to be a mix-up here he blew the coverage Alfonso Williams was a late add to the traveling squad he replaced Lonnie Sutton who didn't make the trip how dangerous is Vaughn Shepherd aunt dahlia he ran the ball twice last year against Oklahoma and picked up 65 yards Oklahoma and the nation's best defense for five speed into the game first time since the first possession at tailback Jim Ferguson throws and he's lucky to get that one back it was a sideline pattern they've been a little more daylight over there going over what that fest might not have been intercepted pass intended for Pat white wide receiver freshman I like that guy right there Bobby Bowden he still has 10 minutes left boy he's to touch down behind the breasts see what he pulls down [Music] the quarterback sack but over 99 Neil Smith the junior from new olio fairly evident how much they miss John Iannetta and TV news from last year on that offensive line they had to rebuild it and a point that should be made at the Florida State had one of the best recruiting years ever from anybody in the country a year ago and most of them were offensive the defensive linemen they're being redshirted this year Florida State may be a year away from them [Applause] [Music] and there's a penalty flag roughing the passer against Nebraska Oh Jim Ferguson had to take some punishment it's a break for the Seminoles as the ball will come on up field that is a break they want to keep this offensive drive alive they have to they need a score badly well it would have been fourth down it would have been that's right they need to score on this Drive 9 minutes and 7 seconds to play in the ball game as the Vols mark magenta near the 45 against will be back first then that is a big moment in this ballgame because otherwise they're punting on fourth and 28 deep out of their own area and now they've got it first down up close to the 45 and punting to a team that has dominated the time of possession the offenses utilized the clock extremely well they've had the football most of the game [Applause] Lauren he ran over the stack and picked up six yards good run by Floyd brought down by Kevin Scott de maría isn't the ball game [Music] Temari emotion and it inside to the full-back Jane Williams I think that's the play that Dane ran 46 yards a touchdown on know it is leader he's there's a sweep action to the left side but he ran 36 yard or against the lead Oh last week for the touchdown showed outstanding balance of doing it see what had his feet cut out from under him caught himself with one arm but never went down regain his balance Brad the 36 yard third down and two [Applause] [Music] all the way back to the 45-yard line that is the six they're just laying their ears back and coming down to brass condos that can control the offensive line of scrimmage the outside can feed men are doing their job so the inside guys the down life and like this could just fly at the quarterback Berry in the punt just get to the way and again it was tipped by Nebraska rusher and he doesn't get much out of it the last time it was tipped 24 yards this time Danny Noonan penetrated and got a piece of it and it traveled 27 years and the beste has the ball back first down at their own 31 this is it the biggest car buying news in decades chevrolet announces the big one an unprecedented 2.9 annual percentage

coach Nelson Stokely an old LSU quarterback Keith all over the universe tomorrow he could hang on and pull up and I wouldn't Steve Taylor on the game tonight eight on a 14 passing 107 yards and two touchdowns for the Ruska he has run 19 times for a hundred and forty-five yards and two touchdowns now I ask you is there any question about who is going to be playing quarterback of University of Nebraska for three years he has passed his last season totals in tonight's opening game first down Huskers from the 31 Baylor going down the line gives the ball a little pebble and I both bangs his way out to about the 35 picking up four yards on that carry Bobby Bowden's gonna find out an awful lot about his football team in the next 6 minutes and 50 seconds down by to throw it again find out what kind of character they had just saw it out of McGowan good play strong he's not quitting yet second down and six [Applause] Taylor has the first channel that's a 45 Martin Mayhew brought him down six and a half minutes to go in this game and next Saturday at 3:00 Eastern Indiana Michigan Wolverines visiting the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame as Lou Holtz they've used and Bo Schembechler brings a team that I personally think is as good as any team in the country they'd ever lose too many people [Music] he's done and Kelly right about the 45 yard line a Florida State you're watching CFA Football on ABC let's take a five second for our affiliates can tell you just exactly who they are this is Katun TV channel 7 31:17 Nebraska leader has the second half the struggle in the printer is turned in the restive way and that stat right there will tell you he's just blowing them out of their tracks Florida State is a fine football team with Nebraska we just call it a maturation process the young inexperienced players for Nebraska gave maturity in the first half gained a lot of confidence that came out now here they are dominant I believe Nebraska has just put themselves although it's very early just put themselves in the hunt for the national championship I think they can win the rest of their schedule until beat Oklahoma Lake mark Diaz is now in at tied in the second unit in there continues to play that position but you've got Kevin like there 285 you've got Michael Buller 255 John Nichols 265 and de'keither 265 Brad Johnson 265 those in the second water and the big guys who've been playing most of the game up front are even bigger retreat guys with big brain I think that's right they look at their feet get guys a big feet big grow into them Steve Taylor who's had a huge night first down Cornhuskers down around the Florida State 20 [Applause] [Music] some agility doesn't stop on a dime and give you nine cents change he turned his whole body around the toilet pants there's the story of the second half and that's exactly why the Nebraska Cornhuskers have run off 21 and answered for hey that was a great answer where'd you learn about computers in the army

Sports [Music] 31 to 17 ballgames there's the hell down in the monks the middle of them somewhere there I think [Applause] [Music] get rid of that River right now first down at the 20-yard line of Florida State Baylor stays in their quarterback fakes the handoff no he gave it away that's not he is so quick coming off that snap off that reverse fitted and handed away to Michael Mike a high ball that time and the full-back picked up three more and more they're alternating people along that front line use their third side into the night now Marquis and she's back in John Kelly is the I back [Applause] [Music] and slips inside to the 14 when they're going away from me I had to wait five minutes out to know whether I didn't got the ball and you know the Florida State team the linebackers on the other side of the line of scrimmage have that same problem the reason being if they even hesitate for that fake to the dive man Taylor's already around the corner [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] there is a flag mark Diaz the fight in make the catch let's see about the fall it is a facemask against the offense somebody on the offensive side grab the defensive players facemask apparently so while they mark it off can we go to a loudly Keith I know you've seen a lot of football games but you've got a long way to go in comparison to this man on

and nine after that friendly against the choristers and the story on Steve Taylor reflected there and is running tonight federally marched off against Nebraska what is this one well I guess they marked it brought it back to the spot and then backed it up that's what it that's exactly what it was they just so start down back at the 29 after that 10-yard penalty to make it third down and what 20 roughly 91 years old al has the game changed over 91 years he's had a lot of fun being a Nebraska dad back goes tailor to throw gets it away I'm different he was looking at a big linebacker right in the eye humming whistling at him and he delivered the pass on a line to Willie Griffin and Griffin pulled it in Tedric died two freshmen from Mulberry Florida made the hit for the Seminoles and now on 4th down and 12 in comes the kicking team with Dale Klein Klein has missed from 49 and connected from 33 tonight so it's been a good outing for Tom Osborne despite the travail turmoil that they've had to fight all week because of the NCAA penalty field and say granted for this game kick is up by climb into the net and a decision will be made on their appeal next week when you set out to create the perfect home Scott with the windows the windows more people come home 3 seconds to play in the football game with Greg barriers into kickoff now he's a freshman go to see some refreshment a little bit right here let it kick off ball game [Music] [Music] well we just met the gentleman of 91 here's an old warrior that's Billy Edward 75 a few days ago last week Billy brings the teams on and off the field controls the times out that sort of stuff stands out at all kinds of weather and it'll still give you a hard time at 11 o'clock of a rainy snowy hot afternoon with him first down for the Seminole a skip Ferguson goes to throw it dumps it off short underneath and the pass is caught by Galen white number 87 tied in tonight's game produced by Bob Goodrich bob has succeeded Chuck Howard as our game producer directed by Larry cam who has succeeded Andy Sedaris and that goes Ferguson to throw again to the sidelines and it's incomplete no good MIT our associate director Jack Graham a technical manager Gary Ricketts our unit manager Dennis Sabo telecommunications hell Schmitt and assistant to producer ray small Todd Barry and his back as our spotter again this year and a fellow named Dave burns and keeping our stats again this year that's it been around so long I can't remember how long they've been around rains coming down again that figures everybody's trying to get to

game Bobby Bowden will take them back pump him back up mentally get him ready miss would be a fine Florida State football team or your Nebraska it's gonna be an interesting week they've got to find out what the ruling is for the n-c-double-a and see if their appeal can be held Florida State has called timeout you never gave up they've got to put it away clever did you send those clothes came early ordered the ball game where they really effectively killed the momentum last week Florida 50 41 times and did not have one thing beautiful putts are Lewis various air catches called by Vaughn Shepherd determined and the Cornhuskers now with just 19 six remaining on the clock will just simply run it out they have the game in one it's a warm ending for that man Tom iceborn and his football team after the week they've gone through he sends pleat Blakeman out to mop it up for bobby powder that's I want to tell you Bobby's played the four games here in this stadium with his Seminoles they've split two and two and folks that ain't bad you don't know that you've never come and tried to win a game at Nebraska risky business you [Music] Blakeman keeps on the option play and gets the clock rolling and whistles now we'll stop it at about nine seconds or so and they didn't stop for a moment of the puck death Florida State's second half offense - 1 yard on the two first downs in both by Kennedy and the ball game is over the Nebraska Cornhuskers with an impressive 34 17th victory over the Florida State Seminoles so it looks like it's gonna be another year at the big a when it comes time to sell your home consider this tan university officials will hook up on a conference telephone call with four members of the NC double-a committee on eligibility appeals Nebraska will present its case a decision on the appeal is expected tomorrow afternoon or Wednesday morning at the latest at today's extra point called luncheon in Lincoln coach Tom Osborne talked about the n-c-double-a ordeal one of his opinions is that the matter should be kept within the university by taking passes away from the players he definitely feels the one or two games suspensions are far too hard and used to being unethical and so we say okay now this was unethical we agree with that but those kinds of things are supposed to be handled by the institution and they shouldn't be handled by loss of eligibility so that is where we feel the severity the penalty is it's not it's not commensurate with what was done with the purpose of the rule that's clearly stated in the book and the procedures it's intended to cut down and eliminate scalping and in this case there is no evidence of scalping so we feel like we have lived up to the spirit of the rule but anyway it will be a matter of some interest as to what happens tomorrow because we think we have a good football team and we think we've put it together in the right way we we have not bought players here we are not accused of any recruiting violations we've done everything we can do it right but we do hope that common sense prevails here and we hope that we come out with okay because we do feel we have a good football team if we can play them all but players make the game and sometimes you have an image that your you're powerful and and some people will honestly believe that we could hold out 60 players and 35 or 40 first and second team errs and still win a game and if we can then I am Houdini incidentally University of Chicago athletic director Mary Jean Mulvaney has disqualified herself from the appeals committee Mulvaney attended and taught at the University of Nebraska and she still has family living in Lincoln so tomorrow Nebraska's fate will be decided by just four committee members there is some good news surrounding the Nebraska football program today two Huskers were named Big Eight players of the week fine backers Steve for to return to practice for the first time in a week and Danni noonan's hamstring poll is not serious he also practiced and for the first time since 1982 Huskers have been named the Big Eight players of the week Noonan a senior defensive tackle is the Big Eight Defensive
