general Ford Sports is M University of Colorado football today from Memorial Stadium in Lincoln Nebraska it's the University of Colorado Buffaloes versus the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers today's game is brought to you by the Public Service Company of Colorado by Samsonite by central banks by coast-to-coast Colorado's hardware store by Miller Stockman all proud companies for Colorado and also by Aurora lincoln-mercury and by commercial Federal Savings and Loan now here are runs Apolo and Dave Logan on a cold windy afternoon in Lincoln Nebraska it's 19th ranked Colorado versus seventh ranked Nebraska hi everybody Ron zappolo along with Dave Logan and Dave the Goonies so build the biggest game of the year for Cu and the first time in years they come to Lincoln feeling they have a legitimate chance to win well I think certainly Cu feels they've got an excellent opportunity have not fared very well here in Lincoln at seven and to Colorado could assure themselves of a place in the bowl should they win today the speculation that they don't get this victory they might find themselves at home in ball to do so a lot of pressure in the branch on the other hand can go to the Orange Bowl or get this game if they beat Oklahoma next Saturday it is very windy down on the field what effect will that have on Colorado's passing game which many people feel they have to throw the football that can still win I think that hurts to you if the wind really kicks up and it's been doing that the entire afternoon see you is gonna have to throw the football and they're gonna have to do it efficiently if they're going to beat Nebraska may not need a football camp they're overpowering offensively diamond upfront I think the win would be a fact really negative factor to see you Colorado coming in off one of the most impressive victories in the year at the road against Missouri a team that a couple weeks earlier plate in the breath get hit the head mute and no doubt about excuse had a chance to watch those films Missouri came in here blood Steve came there quite a bit 80% of the time I don't think you'll see to you booking quite that much but they'll be aggressive defensively we're excited should be a great ball game glad you're with us come on back for the kickoff [Music] have you ever wondered what a BAC factor much lower than that 50 degrees the hundred and sixty first consecutive sellout here at Memorial Stadium from seventy four thousand strong on hand it is a sea of red as you can see surrounding the astroturf here at Memorial Stadium ten ko Burton will pick off 33 Dana Brinson and 21 Richard bell our thief we are underway from Lincoln this one direction from his own end zone we've got a hole across the 30 all the way out across the 40 before Dave MacEwan makes the tackle for Nebraska but from field position for their first drive they will take over at their own 41 yard line Nebraska offensively the veterans team Taylor infarct Richard bell Brian carpenter the running backs though actually the wing back veteran offensive line wedge Bo Young Pelton and glazes first in ten from the 41 here's the pitch to Clarke no room and down he goes right at the line of scrimmage Arthur Walker was there to make sure he went no further no game second intense Colorado defensively Alfred Williams and Geneva's McGee those second outside backers of the front event they both had terrific season Walker Reinhart and Hayes the middle Phil McCarthy wants them to gain some weight in the offseason to lose you know jumping on fantasy and his relief assessment al-ansari with the cooling fins in and brief jump second down and 10 here's Clark again in kinda hole young hits from bookmarks God all the way out to the 49 can a Dodge pickup make it 32 Kent Clark five nine two hundred pounds junior from Omaha Nebraska comes into the game averaging 405 yards per game rushing Jim Clark has 1200 yards during the course of the season certainly they fill up front they've got a decisive advantage the average 372 pounds per man offensively the 248 per man of defensive side of the ball Nebraska feels like they can control the tempo of the game with the running game third - here's Clark again you've got a first down to the Colorado 45 cannabic McGee thanks to stop there but it's a first down for the Brasco we've just started here from Lincoln 1337 to go in the first quarter Colorado kicked off to the Brassica they have a first down there at the Colorado 45 one of the things you can look for certainly when the brass that gets the football their ability to move it on the ground last year when they came into Boulder 62 rushes 419 yards on the ground Keith Jones was no longer with the Cornhuskers 26 carries 248 yards they dominate you up front on the option paler we'll keep it know where to go to pitch the Clark and he's knocked out about at the Colorado forty-three public cloud was there it's important for Cu defensively to have a reasonable amount of success early to not get buried upfront linebackers very very important you're seeing Michael Jones and Donna noodle slightly get off the block keep their feet in a good job by a lot of folks with white jersey at that time stand up off of the ground Nebraska up front knocks people down and once they do they've got explosives enough back to get through big big holes [Music] Harper there is the fullback Clark is the eye back to wall it'll be third to ten the parent of the Colorado defense ready to play this after this day well when you're undersized and you come in against a team like this you've got to make things happen defensively you probably have to take a few more chances than you'd like to do my time counter foot from the corner blitz they read the sprint draw and force to Rasulullah 31 favorite receiver for Taylor was borgund Gregory on a manual high school devil he is wide to the right to copy her strength Taylor's first attempted pass to the afternoon is for Gregory innocent complete and kind of thought was there Colorado has doctor branches fourth intent Colorado and nineteen point underdog they come out the first series in good shape it's not going to be an afternoon as we told you the outset that is going to be conducive to throwing the football that time he saw Steve Taylor a bit high and when the brass was forced to punt John Crozier will punt for Nebraska 29 points this year he's averaging a little over 41 yards to kick em Jay Nelson need for Colorado this one will be inside the 20 bounces back hits the Colorado bounced out to the PU plenty more though Colorado and stop Nebraska first down a 22 yard punt [Music] there's the offense an se the quarterback mystic Prichard and the sophomore Eric the enemy who now has 1200 10 yards rushing on his serve justice to do history in this single season he's had seven one [Music] [Music] the couple leaves out to the 23 top of the father you can see getting off his number 89 Broderick Thomas he is the all-american backer 6-3 250 is senior from Houston got eight sacks this year an 81 tackles both lead the team there you see him he's up there with Willie Griffin Lawrence Pete Kent well Jeff Mills Caliendo and apne Mary PN maketh the linebackers Hicks Cooper Jackson and fire he's a cousin of Irving Pryor Anesti keeps it here's the pitch to the enemy Eric tries to turn the corner across the 25 all the way out to the 30 before Tim Jackson the free safety number 4 drove him out see you obviously trying to get the football into the hands that man Eric the enemy last year see you 44 rushes 147 yards that will not depend at this afternoon good blocking up front as you see a lot of red folks on the ground at the enemy with enough speed to turn the corner see who comes into this game thinking they can move the football the fort has to be very methodical and thus keep the grass cut off the field offensive oh it is third down and about a yard and a half to go the fake to be enemy an st the throw he's looking deep for Campbell in complete a fine defensive play by charles fryer who tipped it away from campbell at the last second fire appears to be limping off the Colorado will have to punt it obviously Dave they're going to open it up here early well I think bill McCartney realized they've got the score points this afternoon if they're going to be able to keep the Braska off of you see a pretty good play that time by prior certain one seed goes for the home run deep in their own territory Keith English the nation's winning punter is into the ballgame this is Richard bell back at his 17 and he's knocked out at the 27 Tim James knocked a mess though each team has had it once after a 53-yard punt and a 10-yard return 11 34 to go in the first quarter we are scoreless in Lincoln [Music] pursue you today hailer has trouble with the exchange here is Clark delusional rational mob for crossing a basket 32 Nebraska 31 pick up a four second down and six Dave Nebraska as you will know having played at Colorado owns the series between the two they've beaten in 33 times losses 12 one tie Elite Colorado 75 in Lincoln Nebraska has 124 by the last 26 wishes to you division statistics for the history now explore here is Clark again nice spin move he's out across the 30 to the 34 full Hayes number 82 the junior defensive end made the tackle Clark is carried at 7 of Nebraska's eight offensive plays you can see right away they want to go to Clark who has 1,100 65 yards on the ground this year he's averaged 6.5 a carry and scored 11 cook them what they don't want to do is take a chance with any pain of Turner there's a very very patient they feel like they can wield the football on you piece by piece sooner or later third down and three that's the middle a big hole for carpenter he's got a first down across the 40 to the 44 games and young the Safety's made the tackle carpenter a 200-pound junior he's averaging seven and a half yards ago the full-back game approach caller ID on the past couple of weeks Oklahoma used it extensively in Boulder you'll see the quick lift carpenter is into the secondary before so you can get to him when you've got players like Clarke and Taylor that really can hurt you on the perimeter four times a night you can flip that fullback through virtually untouched of course Nebraska nine and one they're only lost early in the season out in LA to UCLA here is Clark another home park city attorney in the Colorado Territory at the 48th Alfred Williams was there along with Tim James well the misdirection playing Kenneth Clark follows some good blocking up front you can see the hole before James can get to a park is big enough it about 510 200 pounds to break a lot of tackles got a low center of gravity and he had quick enough once he bounces outside that he can leave you as well Clark 5/9 200 pounds second down and two from the Colorado 48 9 25 to go in this first quarter here is Clark he's got a big hole clock all the way down to the 2 new 29 with attack on all any day to see the problem James and young we're making all the tackles on Ken Park another Nebraska first down the Kim Clark actually coming into this season it was a back at the Tyrese notch a lot of folks thought Knox would be the top I back not the chair times with Keith Jones last year but Ken Park has simply been too good to keep them out of the lineup does an excellent job of following carpenter the fullback good blocking up front and again when you're running through polls like that and as you mentioned Ron when your safeties are having to make a lot of tackles you know you're getting a good deal of yardage first and ten from the 29 it's time to handoff is to the first back and carpenter to the 25 the lucio first man they hit him the brackets philosophy upfront is simply to control the football obviously they score a lot of points they're leading the nation in that category 46 points per game but they want to move the football get a lot of first downs they've done that the last 10 or 15 years by doing so obviously they keep the offense or the opposition off the field and they simply wear you down upfront with those big 480 25 to go in the first quarter Nebraska with a second the six from the Colorado 25 Brinson is in motion to pitch the clock not this time deluzy Oh hit him first he's joined by about five teammates at the Colorado 25 fun time inst about keeping the keeping the ball control of the football game all the plays they run 81 plays against Texas A&M 71 against Oklahoma State's 84 against Arizona State and for those of you that are unfamiliar it's usually between 60 and 65 plays offensively if he's had a great game they run a lot of plays particularly up clusters shaken up he was on the sidelines and suppressed to face with a third and six at his bail emotion carpenter the lone running back Taylor looking to throw he's old for one here comes the rush and down he goes Cole Hey [Music] apparently a flag down at the 31 and it's going to be an illegal motion on Nebraska Colorado will decline it and Nebraska will be faced with a fourth down the Cornhuskers sent a man in motion actually had two guys moving at once an illegal shift as you take a look at today's officials and a big play by Cole Hays and Steve Taylor trying to roll to the side of the motion Nebraska has run this particular scheme for many many years it's been very successful with it and a big stand by the TU defense John folks are on the punt again for Nebraska that is only the eighth sack that the Nebraska has suffered this year senior tenth in Nebraska a very balanced team but they're not a club that likes to throw the football they like to throw it when they want to actually they've established the running game not when they're forced to on a scrimmage the 36th a line drive caught that bounces into the end zone so Colorado and stop Nebraska don't they go guard their own toy was a little more than seven minutes to go in this first quarter [Music] he goes just like to beat the cra-- skin you can tell he's ready well this easily would be the biggest win of his career and he certainly has pointed his to you Buffalo's toward Nebraska Asian every year and off up the middle to chip it out across the 22 to the 23 Chris Callahan the number 49 the weak side linebacker made the tackle pick up a three second down and seven would you tell me and tell the viewers what it is that makes this such a heated rivalry between these two teams well I think over the years Nebraska has been so dominant that it's easier to have some hard feelings toward folks that you never have a chance to beat when see you beat the basket in Boulder a couple of years about 20 the canneries like the big weight has been taken off their shoulders but they have to come here and establish that they can win in this state if they haven't done second down and six with 24 Campbell's the wide receiver Richards emotion here's the enemy breaks one tackle breaks to tackle Derek is close to a first down he's about a foot short the feeling coming in here this afternoon by the buffaloes is that it could handle the brass up front there are interior people to see a nice cutback is at the end misses the enemy Willie Griffin Lorenz Pink's Kent wells the down three for the Cornhuskers you don't see any Danny Noonan you don't see any Neal Smith and they've had when I say they the Cornhuskers have had dominant folks up front for a good many years not the case this year good players but not greatly it is the first down for Colorado the nose of the ball is hat the 34 their first first down of the afternoon the enemy not much room Hamas's after and he has them at the nebraska 32 the two-yard gain nebraska their leading tackler has eight sacks of course you played for four years I know you how many times did you or did your team beat the breast well since they if they hadn't won a game since 1967 I believe before 86 that would probably give us old before as well and then you took the collar we had our problems we did take the color okay thank you to bring that up I want I'm sorry I won't bring it up the rest of the afternoon I'll ask you about the Cleveland Browns there's movement in the offensive line flags everywhere but no whistle going as he dumps it out to the enemy and Eric falls down at the 26 it's gonna be offsides against Nebraska a nice job that time uh performed by Eric nor guards snapping the football once the Cornhusker got into the neutral zone and in essence a free plate for see you make it second down and three though put it at the 37 Lawrence feet number 96 and those guards was offside last home game today 431 Nebraska steamers of course they finished next week at Oklahoma how much of an advantage outside hey Ben check it out is it for see you to catch Nebraska the week before the Oklahoma game you can see the players mojo will jump into the neutral zone I don't think it's an advantage at all I think the brass key realizes that see you certainly if they're on the same level it's a very very competitive team that's going to take an excellent effort from them to win here link second down and three for the puffs they have it at their own 37 the enemy goes right up the middle HTN hit him first Eric still movers Rossville 44 the 41 that should be enough for another Colorado first down and again up front with no regard of Muhlenberg Vanderpool's Cartman and Pullman CU believes they can run between the tackler take away some of the great outside speed when the branch of defense enjoyed three very community five nine about 195 pounds and slipped in and again just long enough that he simply keeps driving is tough to tackle very very low center of gravity the enemy to connect him back and cut into purview Eric averaging five point seven a carry hundred boy oz apologies having just a sensational sophomore season which is shifting east of the Colorado 43 Nebraska interior line Willie Griffin Loren compete in Kent Wells were all there wells 91 made the first day see you a little bit like Nebraska in that that guns the power I give them a lot of options run they've been runs come to the wishbone attack and yet they can feature it back like Eric the enemy they also can throw the football more effectively from the power I and it will be certainly important for them that you have to throw the football but throw it when they want you and not be forced into long throwing situation second down and seven the ball is on the 44 and again we go flags everywhere is that a thief throws it incomplete you know even though that Nebraska has dominated the series the last four years have been very competitive see you won in 86 but last year very very competitive game as it was in 85 well they've been competitively to see the outside call against the grassman simply because the CVP phase has kept them in every game the Buffaloes have scored 41 points in the last four years that's not going to cut it you've got to score more than 10 points to be able to beat this club coming in they felt like Nebraska was a little bit jumpy up front and there was some thought that maybe the Cornhuskers even had the Buffaloes snap count last year so you can see in the first couple of series the bill McCartney is very dense and every star late okay but they're ignore guards at senior centers done a great job he's at five kushtaka left of the way too soon as he pees because the problem is somebody jumped more guards that's the football the right thing to do on st the pitch outside this is Flanagan and he's nailed for a while strike Chris Caliendo JJ Flanagan back after a week suspension Flanagan has Brett great speed but you'll watch the inside linebacker Caliendo as soon as he sees that's the option he actually kicked past kissing before kiss you can get the block and now you've got blades it from the outside Caliendo from the inside nowhere to run for JJ Flanagan blaziken academic all-american third down and five to forty six 305 to go in the first quarter he just joined us the stroller each team has had it twice here's an SC fell on the run he's to the 48 that should be enough in Nebraska 48 for a first down Caliendo made the stop and it is the Colorado first down these are the kind of plays you have to be able to make and then she goes back to play action everybody is covered and yet he has enough composure to realize exactly how many yards you need to get the yards and keep the drive going you can't go back and expect things to be just the way you'd like them each and every time you visit drop back to pass sometimes you've got to create that was the case for an answer so a shot there of Tom Osborne the second winningest active coach in college football behind only berries with them and that's beyond first intent they picture keep it up keep it across the 45 to the 40 for Charles fire number 10 made the hit on Sal it will be a pickup of four make it second pursuit Colorado I would imagine has to be happy with this first quarter the butterflies are out they know they can play now with Nebraska and especially after the fine kickoff return at the start of the football game when the brass did took over on their own 40-yard line an empty really makes this thing go he's turned into a big drawer and a guy again picked up big big yardage but if necessary he had the ball for five minutes the fumbled ferret food and we'll wait until they unpack it Colorado keeps possession you can already see it's getting a little tempers beginning to flare down there on the field a chance for respectability and for three years and twice more guard and heads-up play and that has ruined this Drive is in the basket 45 mistakes like that you simply can't make they were lucky to get back both fumbles but when you have a drive and you work as hard as you've had to work to lose 35 yards or so before you got to make sure that at least you get the snap and give yourself a chance to be successful well English is on the nation's leading corner that is Brinson number 33 for Nebraska this one appears to be headed into the end zone and it is 30 seconds to go in the first quarter each team has had it twice worst role will return to Lincoln in just a minute [Music] why defenses who held the offense 10 Clarke wraps up immediately at the 24 know game Michael Jones hit him first number 59 the junior linebacker out of San Diego I think what you're seeing early for the Cu defense and extremely active defense and trying to take advantage of their quick they're not nearly as big 248 pounds per man as opposed to 272 in the offensive line for the Cornhuskers but yet when you stun and when you move people around and when you give a target that's not so easy to hit upfront you can create some problems for a bigger club at the end of the first quarter as Colorado and Nebraska I said even we played a quarter at Lincoln Colorado nothing Nebraska hole a nice move that time checked that day that Tyrese Knox number 34 not Ken Clark excuse me knocked his first carry of the afternoon good for 12 yards and there's a guy that most people thought here in Lincoln would be the featured back starting this year where's Clarke was shaken up on the last series carpenters got it velu geo number 49 wraps them up immediately just shy the 35 yard line again what you seen early as Nebraska with not much respect for the Cu defense they feel they can run on him with the eye backs and the fullback I wouldn't be surprised to see Steve Taylor get involved in the offense fairly soon let's go to the sidelines now and Bobby Andersen a moment ago man you saw JJ Flannigan it hailed they'll kill back to the Buffalo Eric the enemy has a pulled right hamstring he's testing it on the sidelines we'll have to wait and see if he can get back in the ball game back to Ron and Dave thanks Bobby second down Taylor complete Brinson got the football take that turner not Princeton Turner number 22 you can see our first quarter stats pretty much even Nebraska a little bit more on the ground but neither team has completed a pass and we are sorely Nebraska with a third and eight from the 35 Nebraska in a situation like this they loved emotion people to try to flood one zone usually get Steve Cain they're outside where he has the option to either run or pass and take advantage of that great athletic ability Gregory and Brent fury and Brinson the wide receivers knocks in the carpenter the running back behind a fumble the football Nebraska's got it out good warning let's see if he's got it Nebraska head Nebraska has at the left a point Alfred would hit Taylor from behind Taylor who was backed as twice the 9 games is in fact already in the first 16 minutes but what you don't realize is you don't play TV each and every week for a chance to playing more than one time a year is how quick those outside people are they haven't been this quick in the years past Taylor goes back and that's not a lot of time to throw he feels like he's got forever here comes out with Williams from the back side they've got great quickness on the outside and McGee and Williams do use defense certainly rising to the occasion here as culture puts his foot into it a low line drive kick go Joe Collins with an excellent returning back all the way to the 40 yard line 48 yard kick by croaker in a 21 yard return this telecast the presentation of Casey and C in the National Broadcasting Company intended for the private use of our audience and a reproduction or rebroadcast this telecast without the express written consent of Casey NC is prohibited Colorado was their best field position today they take over first and 10 from their own 40 Flannigan in for the injured the enemy and that's he throws it knocked down [Applause] looked like Willie Griffin or Thomas left hand on his Bobby Anderson told us the enemy pulled hamstring for Broderick Thomas is an excellent linebacker he is a finalist for the Lombardi Trophy and the Butkus Award would love to have the Lombardi Trophy as that that was picked in the Houston Rotary Club the top line in the line bathroom Bobbie Thomas from Houston second down and 10 from the $40 Otto in a passing set now as an MC mr. Flannagan JJ makes one man miss cuts it up the middle for good yardage he's in the Nebraska territory at the 48 nose tackle made the stop and Flanagan's gotta come through with the enemy cannot come back here's Flanagan making a long decision and turn it into a right one you should have kept running these fake @pn off his feet and then headed up speed to get up through there when you run a play like that you've got a linebacker at the point of attack and you've got speed like planning those you've got to take that thing the sideline and force number 47 we left him to run with you that time he stopped footed able to make a great move and leave at the end of the day and he moves to plan a good musical head pain he's got a bunch of it he really hasn't had not had a bucket a chance to play this year but he has great athletic ability where he's over 100 yards in his Iowa State and that's he rolling out Thomas good chase South Rosen a thing complete it was nearly intercepted over Reggie Cooper and Tim Jackson stations were both there we get to have a computer passing this game and Broderick Thomas was putting a lot of pressure on foul and ethic I think what you're seeing now see you forced to open things up a bit especially if their eggs in amia is not able to come back into the contest they'll have to throw still have to run a reverse they'll have to get all the tricks out of the bag in order to leave the football [Music] Oklahoma Luke Missouri coming up in the first quarter elsewhere in the good gay our state needs to Mexico 7-nothing the first quarter second and 10 to the 48 Vaness he hands it off the typical running hard became push back I didn't call 8750 was the first one there we're a 20-pound senior from Wichita TPM laughed off the pot [Music] nebraska giving up 124 yards per game this season on the ground there second the big 8 in Russian defense and our overall defense a terrific first place give it a few hundred 77 yards per game so maybe not quite as good as they've been in the past in terms of the banners up front but a very good question advocate mystic is out anyway number 20 fuel is in for the bust on 39 the Nebraska 47th uh Nestle looking with time in the overshoot Jojo column there was a boost assignment Erica's columns sucking route to the sideline in Southfield on the school it looked like a side adjustment on a glitch and Jojo ran about a 17 yard out Sal expected him either didn't go out and up or simply going to fly they missed connections on that particular throat English on to punt Belen Brenton beep from Nebraska Bell 21 Brinson 33 11 28 to go in the first half here in Lincoln a top-20 king's slugging it out his english hopes to get a good roll and doesn't [Music] I've done that this afternoon 11:19 to go in this first half Colorado and Nebraska Colorado ad points out at 71st downplays and Fabrice about Fabrice about two yards on first down here's carpenter he's out to about the 23 where Michael Jones thanks the tackle and again when you're struggling a bit offensively I find hard to believe that Steve Taylor has not been involved in the offense on the ground a bit more keep in mind he is sixth in the big eight of rushing over 700 yards 12 touchdowns and he's averaging nearly six yards preparing they have not run the option and what that says is simply they feel like they cannot see you off the ball when they I back in the full-back in game four or five yards well Clark is back in the game so that is the good news for defense will hopefully be enemy their big gun will come back for them is mailer rolling across the 25 on out of bounds at the corner 7 that pick up the 6th and it was McGee ran about it'll be three Steve Taylor really hasn't gotten off hasn't gotten started this afternoon white hasn't had a chance he really has not had many plays designed for him to carry the football that time a roll out fro and just take advantage of the athletic ability you'd see today's attendance 162 consecutive sellouts here in Nebraska they certainly support difficult because backs Taylor has been ferry - a go yes they do support their football team but is a sea of red here in Lincoln little patch of black and gold down in the right hand corner of the endzone carpenter again the radio like the background thank you in a bit short run I think he just about three to four inches true where they placed your football when you see how much respect them back to have some see you defense by the decision they make a little respect but that really is a no-decision right there on your own 29 yard line your defensive plane well both offenses have struggled you want to punch the ball and force the you to go to the length of the field you see you need to be very careful here they don't get lulled into thinking they can win this game with their defense alone sooner or later Nebraska tends to wear you out you got to put some points on the board again handling Ballinger deep coaches punt with live Joe go back to you 17 not much room he hangs on to the ball and down to go between you 23 [Applause] Kocher a 54-yard punt collins 7 yard return course the bill McCartney show Sunday night a good friend will be there right here on channel 4 big day is for tomorrow we'll talk about it as the day progresses Flanagan up the middle a big hole for JJ across the 35 ounces of 37 a 13-yard gain in the first down Lorenzo Hicks made the tackle and JJ Flanagan one of these forgotten men well again one of the reasons see you went to the tower I was to take advantage of great tailback when you run this print bra a defense has a tendency to run everything to be outside that time Flanagan able to slip that approaching the runs that excessively are used to see a seam up and get you going at sprint bra and Jim Zorn would take it out and windup haven't handed it back to a halfback that's right JJ again across the 40 up to about the 40 feet come on we should mention the field is a little bit wet it really is not conducive to making good cuttin I'm wondering if that might be the reason Eric community pulled a hamstring Lawrence P very active those guard the last man off that pile is to see Flanagan off to a good start didn't play last week suspended when people read about what happened JJ involved in an incident day after that I was taking [Applause] second down and six from the 42 great to have a JJ Flanagan is it back up areas again bouncing twisting turning in the Nebraska territory at the Husker 49 another Colorado forced them planning it a couple of nice runs let's get credit up front for the big dogs Eric nor guards Garten and Coleman when a play is designed to go up right tackle when you cut it back like that you know backside you're doing a good job that would be poem winning garden and one see you up front you'll be able to see watching the left side as they field everything down good block by more guards Muhlenberg comes down with Flanagan has a lot of room to run 72 Vander pol with a good block as well on first down as gistic make that Hemingway down to the Nebraska 45 tally hands over number 49 made the tackle making a long time and I mentioned last year in Boulder the Buffalo 226 totally RFP they could not sustain anything on the ground at that time the wishbones he couldn't do that he had basically no chance to win Nebraska equip defense not a great defense up front begin to longer with a couple of shows and that's beyond the option to pitch the Flanagan gets by 8 p.m. JJ's to the 43 where Lorenzo hits the left corner made the stop a couple of yards it'll be third and 3 say this crowd is out of the ballgame right now exactly what Colorado wanted to quiet down to 75,000 Huskers not planning a lot of emotion crowd doesn't feel a lot of emotion as well and you have to give see him credit for that they'd come out in the first half and fully establish themselves both offensive and defensive only score here certainly a lot of pressure on these early we display [Music] [Applause] [Music] there was nobody mysterious rich folk come down the stairs ninety-one ten twelve who made the tackle on down at the 19 Flanagan running well nothing hanging on to the ball JJ down near the 15 Nixon HTN make the stop 18:47 Hicks 8 you don't see that often reminded me of Smith the Steeler wide receiver about 10 years ago on Monday Night Football with alone going into the end moment as he went to spike it he dropped it in everything there's the enemy up on the sideline next to a bill McCartney so hopefully Eric is okay push the way Flanagan is running they haven't missed Barrett the enemy Gamble is wide to the left second down and six up the middle of Hemingway pulling his way as the flag goes down at the first team Hemingway's the Nebraska 12 were pieced wraps him up that looks like it's gonna be holding the flag came in a bit late but to wait and see and hopefully we'll have a chance to see replay that the flag came in a bit late as Hemingway was on his way down can you guess from looking at the enemy how does he look it looks fine but that doesn't necessarily mean his leg is fine what people even pick it up as the holding call will come from the official on the right it looked like Darren Newberg had one of the Cornhuskers and went on the way so a good call in beef eulenberg number 63 the junior from Lakers ball is fantasy and brass the 23 is Eric the enemy trots back onto the skin if you look at Osbourne still the enemy okay he's back what a job Flanagan didn't release with the enemy she's only with fake here second at 15 with the enemy in the game you look to pick up half of it all you look for some sort of special play that the enemy had practiced the entire week Campbell is wide to the left Richard emotion and that's the reverse to Campbell he's around one man but there's nowhere to go and just going to be hit the front for a big loss back at the Nebraska 43 yard line that'll be a 19 yard loss v Mills doing the defensive end the hair is a special clay and if we reverse the Campbell good penetration upfront as you can see nebraska is seven eight nine yards deep by the time campbell get the football he got nowhere to go he's gotta lay down and take a lot that's mills 42 finally making along with common and lengthy walk for Colorado with well it's more of a stranger's drives I can remember they drive a football they actually have a touchdown in their hands they fumble if they go backwards 19 March 3rd and 33 as you can see the ball is on the 43 Hemingway has got nowhere to go could be thrown down right at the line of scrimmage in Colorado has wasted a golden opportunity just milled made the tackle well they wasted a sure six hole the ball just disappeared from JK Flanagan's hands syndrome abrasca defense gets involved and again it's a very good defense it's not defensive you can move the football consistently on the entire afternoon what did you call like a red devil coming out of it I said red ghost of it devil would be appropriate as well 3:58 to go in the half English will try and spun it out inside the 10 team up flipping inside the 20 at the 17 yard line 349 to go in the first half Colorado and Nebraska will be stolen a killer is watching waiting wants to throw on first down with time we look for Bell and he was open but he overshot him please John figures were there on the coverage and Nebraska coming out with the twin receivers that's the set they like to throw from I think Taylor was forced to throw maybe a little bit sooner than he wanted to due to the pressure from al for the win Taylor is 68 a 130 through the air Dave for a thousand yards in stone 11 touchdown had the five interception if you look at Richard belt see the key is they throw when they want to look when you force them to throw the football when either behind or in long yardage situations they are not a great for orientation Brinson and Bell both wide to the left barks got room on a flex and Canadians McGee from buying on the tackle market across the 25 to the 26 at the tick of a baby resurgent to the saw JJ planting on the sprint draw last series here comes Kim Clark on basically the same play it allows a great instinctive one of the Mormons Nikki hold a pen Clark coming back side a good job in the back the bubbles in the website give him a short yardage situation more than Gregory now wide to the left third and short Colorado's going dick walked through the hole he's got a first down a more across for a total of 30 and flag is back I could do a hot dog 20 minutes in two seconds to go and I think rather surprising for his half one that Colorado was right whether than two we haven't seen a point yet well you've got the nation's leading scoring team again at forty six points per game I certainly thought they would score and I really felt see you would be able to move the football and score a few points of their own give credit to both defensive side as they've come up to the place when they had to see you as a golden opportunity to cure but we have acquitted to the blast and after the fumble they did what they had to do to keep the buck out of the enzyme Nebraska average is five hundred and twelve yards a game total often called it for those on the game average over six yards to carry but they're not getting it today the throw [Applause] [Music] when they turn [Music] Colorado Nebraska well this baby had 69 yard touchdown pass written all over it the night play-action fake caught seen you up inside and the pro bent on the mark and Taylor Turner would have walked him don't believe we have had a complete at this bargain you told me that before the game I would have said anything the brass the ribbon on it broken play into his own man in toppers former Nebraska certainly I didn't have to throw the football judging from the previous stats of the games this year they win when they run and they have been able to run effectively at least not consistently this year 15 attrition by C you see up front with carpenter and caterer bumped into each other Taylor a little bit short looked like he wanted to take the ball from popular a bit quick visitation by Tom wine party Cole hey-hey Lerman an FC of both old from fourth third and 11 from Nebraska with 205 to go in the half Hey ladies man look over the middle complete with the carpenter carpenter loses the football Connell it's got it and down he goes at the 35 have it first and 10 at the Nebraska 39 yard line the first turnover of the ball game Nebraska's been very very good this year in terms of their turnovers they've had a couple of bad games the Missouri game of the UCLA game but here Keith hanukkah picks up the fumble he's smart enough to realize if you can't advance it basically lays down to you with an excellent opportunity to get some points on the board before halftime billing bill McCarthy heads in a minute before the game and even throughout the course of the please kidding wait to see you have not come up with big turnover at big time we spent in Colorado I think it's fair to say house plays Nebraska here in this first half lanessa looking to throw the quick drop in complete looking for power there's a late flag to the free safety to hit parrot long after the ball was incomplete Colorado will take that thank you very much the south through the ball behind Eric released to tie it in they got to hide him involved in the passing game did you see the tall personal foul hurricane couple of recep front the 59 yards last week against Missouri the first it's more the kind of has been involved there's the funk gotta pick funk but certainly late and the ball was wrong path we got to be smarter than that of the deepest effect I think in the big 8 you don't get many opportunities to lay the wood to somebody and sometimes you're a little bit more aggressive and ship it back to the senior from Dell good speed with a 90-pound being prior both have foreign inception to lead the browser Colorado's got on a push to the tenth day the county for with 155 to go 1/2 cancer make the lead at the half here in Lincoln again 7th ranked Nebraska the enemy in the game with the ball Eric with a big hole he's down to the Nebraska 12 yard line that should be enough for another first down on a fumble and Tim Jackson takes it away recovers the football the enemy is arguing plays arguing in vain as the referees have decided is for me to pass the big hole again the print saw the enemy get stood up as you see him everybody's tattooing the football the ball comes free right there is tough to see come to see us to win the ball came free the enemy did not like to talk the Nebraska again dodges the bullet each team with a turnover and Colorado has turned it over now inside the 15 they've had two chances the score on the brass when they come away with nothing is Clarke and break the tackle of Michael Jones to the minutes 35 in counting I'm not sure time odds where wants to take a lot of chances this deep and his own in really hard to tell from that replay if the enemy was still going forward I think it down and when the ball came out the ring he's gonna run to the sauce with a push pass-through very dangerous path or is it complete but when you're playing existing around defense on both sides of the ball this is a pretty good reason nothing thank you buddy Jim you're on your birthday darling yeah they're trying to make something happen he suffers up wonders he used even two players when almost kitchen linebackers love to see guys standing there turning around looking the other no football when you're a wide receiver when you played here in Colorado went to brown one side for your college you're hoping he doesn't throw the football yet you hope please so much broken moister than that and he wants to throw again keep that time [Applause] they come joy in bathroom fill with man fires nearly intercepted by Tim James Sam a little surprised to play calling the brass Dena was before seconds to go and so forth down at their own third team how I was gonna have good fuses I think Tom Osborne has a lot of face of Steve Taylor in the last year when UCLA came in here the Bruins held the Cornhuskers 117 yards rushing and they called upon Steve Taylor to lead them out of the wilderness so to speak he responded 10 and 15 217 yards and five touchdowns but in a game like this with the conditions and the circumstances in the first half he'd take a lot of risk and I think unnecessarily for the throw the football with 50 seconds to go in the first half she's a bus to make something happen a low line drive to kick the Jojo Collins Nebraska territory across the 45 down he goes at the 44 back to Colorado 43 say our notes and everything's flying around up here very very windy day 40 yards fun I think we're closer to the good Lords where the yard of the field this is fun them we're having a good time it was fun of the whoops Taylor yeah then it said it may be a little dangerous good clip on Colorado in 44 seconds to go gonna move them back into their own territory you know this story is raising some eyebrows around the country tipping Colorado bakery first down and if folks get folks had a chance to see the see you an opportunity to fly we'll be back in just a minute 44 seconds to go in the half [Music] Campbell Collins and Richard the wide receiver there's a hands off the planet again JJ with a hole across the 50 across the 40 to the 35 yard line as JJ Flanagan does it again what you're seeing is JJ Flanagan looking like he's running on a drive field and everybody else is playing on a wet field he's got quick repeat watch him run through arm tackle as again the sprint draws effective I mean the Braska is just a step behind him he missed much but he's got great speed to start with 23 yard carry by JJ and he's shaken up look at this first half nine carries for 88 Yong and now in your situation Ron is T you call the timeout a couple of timeouts left good field position you need 10 to 15 yards to make a reasonably easy field goal attempt and without Flannigan in the game and I'm not sure if the enemy will be able to come back in you really up against the Jews of Marcus Reliford I presume and some of the other younger backs the Nebraska defense again very very good against the rush giving up 124 yards per game this season Marcus Reliford from before last week against Missouri compression the more suit Lake Michigan is in the backboard with our extensive first intent 36 seconds to go the ball on the 36 NSE Faith Hill runner not much we sell Daniel about the 33 3 yard pickup Roderick Thomas the all-american made the tackle and Colorado takes their second timeout Colorado has totally dominated the second quarter all poisons Nebraska side of the picture Colorado's average field position for their drives the 35 the grasping their own 25 the key is they plays very well and yes they've dominated on the field but they have not scored a point and folks sitting home watching pulling for the Buffaloes shouldn't feel too easy at this time because you're gonna have to score and sooner or later I would think the Nebraska off and we can attract and put some points on the board it's asking too much to see you defense I think the play the way they have played for the remainder of the game take a look at some scores fourth ranked West Virginia beating Rutgers 21 10 third quarter Oklahoma leads Missouri 10 nothing first quarter 17th ranked Georgia on 9th October 7 nothing 1st quarter [Music] an island 42:17 fourth quarter here at second and 7 233 on a sea with time looking deep and it's incomplete he was looking for character tight end but John was well covered it'll be third and seven with 18 of second to go in the half final possession the second quarter see you 8 minutes and 7 seconds Nebraska 6 minutes and 35 seconds see you with 95 total yards in the second quarter Nebraska which is 39 that proves the point it has been C used quarter but they have not been able to score clinic Nebraska right here Willie can be very very aggressive 3rd and 7 on the 33 to take him completely out of field go away should you be able to get to an NCAA for the passive situation this salad a handoff up the middle of Flanagan trying to get enough together phobics in a shot at the field goal he's down to the 38 seconds bock running see you would call timeout with three seconds to go Lawrence Pete made the tackle [Applause] Flanigan was a step away from breaking that one as well ken Culbertson we'll try the field goal he is 6 of 10 for the year this one will be around 47 yards where Culbertson is 2 of 3 there is a swirling wind down in the field I'm not sure it's gonna be advantage or disadvantage for the kicker I don't think the win is behind him and I don't think the wind is necessarily in his favor the 20 mile per hour wind and coming from it seems like every which direction got to be an interesting kitchen Jeff Campbell will hold Nickleby of 47 yards you can see what ken has done from that distance on its way but it's going left it's the UH pride for the crossbar it is no good so that is the end of the first half here in Lincoln Nebraska it's been two giant down slugging it out in the pistol and the Tom Osborne runs off he can't be feeling all that good his team has pretty much been dominated although it's even on the scoreboard it dodged a few bullets from Colorado Colorado runs in Dave I'm sure feeling hey with any sort of breaks whatsoever it could be 10 14 or 17 to nothing and a trickle of booze for the Cornhuskers for the second consecutive home game they didn't play well against Missouri in the first half had 15 total yards but keep in mind they came back to win the football game and they put 250 total yards and the Tigers in the second half so I've been very good at making adjustments bill McCartney will have to do the same so we have played one half of football here at Lincoln Nebraska Colorado nothing and Nebraska nothing bullets from Colorado and Colorado runs in Dave I'm sure feeling hey right now it's Keith missed opportunities obvious where we've been down I guess JJ tried to change the ball over when he fumbled it and then we fumbled the ball was that a good call did that with the TV screen show on the enemies it was doubtful they weren't sure it didn't show conclusively what happened well and then we got a holding call that took us out of field position and we had a pattern say it's all good nothing bullets from Colorado and Colorado runs in Dave I'm sure feeling hey right now it's Keith missed opportunities obviously we've been down in their way I guess JJ tried to change the ball over when he fumbled it and then we fumbled the ball was that a good call did the TV screen show on the enemies it was doubtful they weren't sure it didn't show conclusively what happened well and then we got a holding call it took us out of field position and we had a pattern set across but missed opportunities at this point and what we're gonna have to do is keep the pressure on and take advantage of our opportunities but your defense is certainly been staffing Nebraska's offense defense is even one way em and stop them we've had somebody there to make the tackle in the and he hasn't made the tackle so we need to tackle a little better even okay good luck bill Thanks head coach bill McCarty back upstairs Dana Brinson takes the kickoff he's out across the 25 to the 27 yard line where Nebraska will start with their first possession of the second half and we can reconfirm - bill McCartney the replay was really inconclusive couldn't tell if the enemy did indeed fumble very tough to see and the defensive game you like to have your defense out on the pill see you initially won the toss in the first half for those of you that remember the brass has had the football both times to open the hands with one hit first and 10 from the 27 first man through is carpenter across the 30 to the 31 hook up on four yards second 10 Arthur Walker number 83 made the stop Nebraska's not the kind of club that's going to panic certainly down opponents at halftime you would think they changed three things but the game is tied and they're gonna stick with what they do best run it up inside found you between the tackles and occasionally go for a play-action big pack [Applause] Larkin carpenter the running backs we are scoreless third quarter from Lincoln hailer hit immediately in there oh hey is number 82 made the first kick was struggled today thrown for a loss well Cole hey is that time on an inside stud got to Taylor before Taylor could do anything here's the phone bill McCarty was talking about he you having a chance to put points on the board a good run by the enemy now he's gonna be stood up and it's tough to see if the football comes out before be enemies need actually go to the ground there's the knee on the bridge you can't really see the football I thought the first time looking at it objectively he didn't fumble through that replay you can tell throw it down Taylor dancing [Applause] across the 13 on second effort Taylor gets after the 36 and then Hayes grant amount I believe he's about a yard short of a first down when he's got tremendous athletic ability a couple of buffaloes had shots at Taylor well in the Nebraska backfield and but speed like that and the ability to break tackles Taylor almost turned that thing into a first down good job again by C you forcing Taylor out of the pocket and making him try to run for that first down Coker on the punt again he's done that a lot this afternoon Campbell lady foreign Colin 16 or deep 13 and a half minutes to go in the third quarter Colin what's the count at the 28 and in dangerously The Hives on it at the 22 well that's the kind of play that makes Bill McCartney's heart stop a little bit and say as I blame [Music] Joe Joe Collins it's very good hands you try to get the fun of everything certainly on the ticket that time making him very very dangerous but interesting to see now see you offensively can once again to get things cooking and get out of their own side of the field when the basket fans throw it would be loud in the because put it looking like Joe right here Colorado first and ten from their 33 Prichard in motion his JJ plan again he's out to the 27 they Roy Etienne senior of New Iberia Louisiana to make the tackle don't forget I doubt you have tomorrow 2 o'clock in town for the Broncos take on Bernie Kosar in the Cleveland Browns live from Mile High Stadium it's the Browns versus the Broncos tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 gear on channel 4 the man to my right had the privilege of playing for both teams decade for the Browns in a cup of coffee with the blocking and that's a good night there's Flanagan they day to about the 29 etienne again one of the last ones off that pile number 47 here's a situation where Cu has struggled the entire year third down and short actually third and four I'm not sure you'd call that short but they haven't been effective and trying to pick up a short bit of the artist Nebraska defensively starting to touch their own self out front moving a lot of people into the gap and trying to prevent too you can get into that out crowd now for the first time today making a little noise on 3rd and 4th from the 29 Flanagan going to be way short down he goes across the 30 well in Jeff Mills were both there see you going back to the print da had it been effective in the first half that they thinking give it time to develop you've got to make sure you get the football back to the I back some seven or eight yards deep that time they kind of got it confined and the backside didn't do a good enough job of sealing off that's that defensive rush and the brassicas had to have to adjust so you may have to come up with a different plan of attack as English I kick into the wind Princeton makes the fair catch at the Nebraska 26 yard line 11 and a half to go in the third quarter Colorado trying to pull off the upset [Music] kanae vez McGee runs them out at the 29 fine play by McGee for yard pickup spot Nebraska's had the same kinds of problems running why that Oklahoma did they can see you can Amos McGee and Alfred Williams dude big long-legged long armed guys on the outside that you just have trouble blocking when you try to block him with a tie it in you use your best blocker you can't seal the line back when you try to block him with a running back more times than not the running back is a physical mismatch so see you doing a good job on the outside of the defense second seven from the 32 use defense outstanding this afternoon the way hand off the Clark Reinhardt has on the wrapped up with the 30 shoes I'm the senior at a heroin high school it'll be third and about five like to thank our statistician today's to use us Aidid a fatty and our spotters to see you students Aaron Harrison and Doug Strauss anybody's done a fine job lovely booth up here in Lincoln about eight miles high 40 mile an hour winds perfect afternoon for football here's Clark he's going to be short collegio hit him first Walker and Jones driving back in Colorado has stopped Nebraska once again even at the 10-minute mark 10 30 and Counting what's your scene I think is is now both coaches starting to play with the idea that their defense can stop the opponent very very conservative quite going by the Nebraska Cornhuskers a just got a lot of faith in the defense and on the other side of the football see you is gonna have to pick it up a little bit and try to make a big play offense and croaker is on to punt Campbell and Collins are deep Bowl a big rush and Coker just did get it off the David Gere [Applause] [Music] 58 to go in this third quarter it is still nothing nothing was better than that lasted the extension beginning the mound here of Colorado a 19-7 ended off as the football in a scoreless tie no room for JJ this time a peon hit him go to the sidelines in Bobby Anderson Ron and Dave I was in the locker room at halftime for Eric scooter the enemy who only needs about 89 yards to move in the second place we're seeing a teacher nurse record practically had tears in his eyes he will not return he's got a pretty seriously pulled right hamstring so you're gonna see JJ Flanagan jayjay by the way had been kicked in the calf and but he's okay now of course we always have Marcus Reliford to back him up who had 100 yards last week back to you guys thanks Bobby so if you look at Brian Hoffner of the grassland for our economy this afternoon [Music] fake pitch and that's the under-pressure frozen complete looking for parents number seven pain Reggie people was there Broderick comments before the first round Fallon se got a fake trying to slip somebody into the flag is fine as long as the outside linebacker the weak side there's a bias Robert at that time didn't go with the fake he's riding the wave of Stalin mp4 intention to throw the football through Nebraska you a hug to cheat up there inside linebackers of both or outside pieces even the strong safety playing clear for yards who are screaming for CTU to throw the football wonder if they shouldn't look for Campbell they tried early in the game to Jim NSC play action roles in it's incomplete he was looking for Pritchard [Music] Thomasson wells go back there and they really give a shot that's our own s he is the boss will have to talk on the project Rhonda before the game this week said he wanted to make this content his most memorable of his career his last year at Nebraska he did a fine game this afternoon Princeton and Ballard deep in English the nation's leading punter averaging but four yards under his average today but tricky winds have made that a little tougher with fair catch by bail at the Nebraska forty walnuts one of the better starts for Nebraska what happened last couple of possessions the poor nesters have gained yardage with the pudding game they forced to you the long barrel situations the punting game was to you of course almost into the end zone Nebraska now at the 40 yard really has gained a lot of yardage quickly without even moving the football 33-yard punt playing that's the crowd now trying to get the Cornhuskers were back into it I've been pretty silent of course half they've picked up a little here in this third quarter fellas in motion Taylor to throw on first down now he'll run he's got a crease he's got more than that the Livio finally pulls him down oh no 40 at the 19-yard pick up for Steve Taylor his longest one of the afternoon in a first down and he haven't seen much of Taylor this afternoon but he's a guy that the last three years has been the leader on the office great great speed and that looked like a passing play the Taylor immediately decided he wanted to turn into a run good job 19 yards by Taylor course content from the buck 40 [Applause] put pass over the middle of some place the Millican the tight end [Applause] Bruce Jung made the tackle with the 31 we've said all afternoon that Nebraska very very basic they'd like to run the football once they get in your side of the 50 they'll do all sorts of things they quick pop the tight in this is where Tom Osborne will e if he desires likes to come out of his bag of tricks go to Staples well everything he has as it it reverses all the trick plays the flea flickers this is the point of the field if you expect abrasca to do things like that I believe that's only the second reception this afternoon for Nebraska 8:28 to go in his third quarter first half went very quickly it slowed down a little bit here in the third I think we won a very good time if Nebraska desires to try to get the homerun plate you'll come back a third one throwing something short but I wouldn't be surprised to see Taylor go up top bottom of your screen is Morgan Gregory the kid from manual high school mark runs it up the middle for a first down phone Tom Reinhart made the tackle Colorado's defense and stopped Nebraska all day have to do it again if they want to stay in this ball game they've had every chance the store and its wanted their opportunity Nebraska this is really their first legitimate where's Clark he's got a block maybe finally knock him down five-yard pickup second down and you get the feeling as good as the senior differences played this afternoon they might be starting to wear down a bit look at the folks out in front of Clark good blocking doesn't look like he gains a lot but that's five or six yards right there as Park runs top tackle by kanae va's from the game 65 and accumulated junior left guard really sealed off the outside for Clark barking [Applause] a really big day today he use contains him rather well second four five from the 20 tailor stops he's hit by McLuhan and down he goes at the 24 no game so Colorado solved the action this is Nebraska's first penetration inside the Colorado's one shows you the kind of defensive effort Colorado has had fitted Steve Taylor had a scene there and Dave record simply got off the clock quicker than Taylor thought oh my doing this often doesn't go with it well I think right now he's gotta be thinking keep the balls retailers 34 been into the opportunity to play and let he make something happen big play in the ballgame 34 for the breast on a scrimmage just inside the Colorado 20 he's right up the middle the carpenter a balloon gonna be a little short [Music] I think you have to if you're Tom Osborne go forward here for candy one he's got a real good Drive you need to cook those to the board yes but a touchdown certainly emotional there's much more devastating to Carlisle with a dildo [Applause] we're gonna go food it appears they're off and forth down the long one they've got to get just shy of the 15 yard line the pitch the court he's got the first down he's inside the pens at a 7 yard line first down for the brass Tim James was on safety made the tackle of it fourth down conversion a dangerous plays he could any County the penetration you taught that football back seven or eight yards you got to make sure up front and did a good job and the Cornhuskers did Clark able to turn the corner untouched a big fourth down and one and a half conversion first and goal from the southern Clark is five nine two hundred pounds of junior from Omaha Nebraska deepest penetration they're looking to store first the pitch to Kent Clark cuts it inside game pizza but he's all the way down at an event Colorado 3 James at him first I got the gold from the three they continued to pound on you averaging 46 points per game and over 400 yards on the ground they don't even worry out whether it's a little bit tired nice touch by Clark and he gets past Williams before being met by James and a host of others this has been a long drive and again when you're that big up front you just tend to wear a pka down and a good job by Tom Osborne realizing that game plan because they can forage math talk averaging six and a half yards to carry through the season [Music] here's the pitch the Clark he's got blocking he's into the end zone for a nebraska touchdown [Applause] [Music] minutes ago with Nebraska stores first same play they got the serves down a couple of plays ago and a good job mark honeybunch unchallenged to the corner and he just knew that sooner or later they'd get that offense on track [Applause] Gregg Barrios there were 44 the sophomores onto the conversion it was 435 to go in the third quarter Nebraska has struck first on the Balkans for the best simple the defense was in reserve there's only one place to find out the real story a [Music] little bit length and of course they expected a victory all along I don't think anybody here really felt that Colorado could come in here and beaten Lincoln and beat Nebraska they have that kind of an attitude unit and a well-deserved attitude based on the last 19 years or so when they've won at least nine games clear Chris runnin kicks off richard has got it good run back by Mike he's across the 30 to the 33 the Colorado will have good field position in a good job by Nebraska front seed you can see a white jersey from his angle the Alfred Williams go to the turf and that's about it requested drive at a time that the grass too had to answer I know I was up to see you offense early to get something establish good right to go down and scores you take a little story bright place more important to move the football to the other side and then if you have to punt fine make the grass to play on their side the second half has been played in Sydney territory and that's the Atlanta he was looking for pressure to think complete and it's tipped by somebody on that Nebraska defensive line so very important series for Colorado is the net she is old for nine growing the football this afternoon Darian Hagan by the way was banged up the last couple weeks back though with the club on the trip he's the backup quarterback second ten Campbell is the wide out and off the planting and he looks to pitch it back to an MC he does and Pritchard has it is out of bounds I don't think it ever went to planting and I think an SP faked me out and flipped it out the Pritchard well he faked out the red jerseys as well it'll feel better when he run the option to the short side you've got to have a good job up front of sealing down there's the fake and that's doing a good job taking a correct angle and wait to the ladder at the 5th [Music] again important to you to answer the cloud and drive by not necessarily exploring but by meeting the football and putting the basket down there old in third one elegant has a first down plays at 23 strong saftey made the tackle the JJ's after 244 that's the first day Lamarck Blazek is a big strong safety device 205 pounds and JJ is running he went a bit too high right there you'll see the collision blades at cooking hat right and surrounding his chest it is a first down see you now if you're gonna throw the football you want to do it on first down you don't wanna be forcing the 31 gonna brass the decent let's give credit where credit is due they've turned it up a notch they're playing everybody fourth up inside trying to get see you to throw the ball they just played better here in the second half 15 carries on written 1 yards for Flanagan gistic fives the middle and Willie nothing there kentrell's number 91 the right defensive end hit him first [Music] in this third quarter he branched out seven to nothing Campbell is wide to the right 633 pitchers 9 Flanagan su and s he has it keeps it cuts it up to the 48 Blazek hit him again first along with Caliendo the linebackers the same type of option play [Music] that time the grass was very very quick to close and they get some good support from both safety third down and six Colorado from their own 48 [Applause] vanessi he's hit at his own 49 falls forward to midfield and that is it [Applause] Blazek 23 in Reggie Cooper 17 combined to make the tackle on sound Colorado will have to punt for midfield but as you said they may have helped turn the field advantage back there was the last plays a play where as a quarterback didn't need that great speed and s he's been effective the entire year because he's got extremely good quickness but when he gets stretched out you've got a run to a point and get chased down by that linebacker a safety in the level of speed to Megan English a high punt Brinson calls for the fair catch the first team so Colorado has regained the field position don't forget the damn ring show Monday night at 6:30 right here we'll talk about the Browns and we will have a special and this where we get one thirty-eight mystery guests I don't even tell you that I got a tree folks I will find out on the plane right oh well you may have used methods to the beginning you've been known to you as you might find that but yeah we're gonna have a mystery guest a lot of surprise - don't don't fear mr. Rico on Monday night first intent for the Huskers front of the thirteen they had the ball and a seven nothing lead Clark running hard across the 20 to the 23 McGee hit him first McLuhan finally drove him down that's close to a first down now to see you defense a good field position is up to them to rise to the challenge enforced the bracket to stay on their own in the office didn't score but they were able to leave the football a little bit fun effectively and force Nebraska to go 88 yards second one you certainly came good up nine yards on first down 123 in County you see the clock to go in the third quarter here's Clark again he's got the first down across the 25 to the 26 [Applause] kanae miss McGee and Dave McLuhan both there today mr. McGee just gets better and better every week in the Colorado defense with Maggie and Williams certainly they're gonna be factors for the next couple of years good job up front by Nebraska Jake young the all-big age center to sixty kilo and Elphaba 260 and 365 heads left a code 270 in Doug blazar 295 and not to be redundant but they tend to worry down at there there's a big hole up the middle for Clark again he's out across nuts to tonight Clark at carpenter across the 35 to the 37 that's another Nebraska first now Brian possible 510 200-pound jr. hey Nebraska's bigger up front in the Broncos and they averaged more more weight up front in Denver death they usually get some big folks up there teaching how to drive laughs for exceptional drive walkers the ability to block door to run reverse news the fake reverse Karthik Jones and Reinhart maybe the doctors face very good face I was on the outfield he can do a few of the things that make it tough defensively they throw the fake reverse they'll throw a pass here they're starting to feel like they're taking control of this football game and they maybe is that was the final play of the third quarter take a look at the replay you'll see the reverse coming to the bottom but Clark keeps the football actually the couple of Cu bunkers running the other way so we played great quarters from Lincoln Nebraska yard Randy's got it second in five hundred forty to fifty nine of those total yards in the last Drive so see you defensively up to this point doing a very good job there's the handoff Tyrese knocks in the game across the 45 in the 46 [Music] [Music] time of possession in that third quarter Nebraska over nine minutes and see you left kind of been the story today let's go the sidelines in Bobby Anderson they have just taken Alfred Williams to the Colorado locker room I don't know what's the matter with him they said they're just gonna check him out ninety-one Lamar gray is in at outside linebacker to replace Alfred Williams we'll see what's wrong with him in a moment all right thanks Bobby as they checked to the first down it appears they have a ciggy alpha Dwayne one of the factors and it's do you defense Marga raisin six 125 pound sophomore [Music] first and ten for the forty seven fourteen and a half minutes to go in the football game marks got a whole box outside he breaks the tackle Young finally brings him down by the Colorado [Music] nebraska first down 24-yard run in the first down by 10 far counter motion there are some big fellas up front and doing a great job of sealing see you down inside you see Kim Clark not even touch today's 25 yards downfield Nebraska maybe wearing down this Colorado defense if you've had a fine afternoon you can see some walking right there at Tom Reinhardt gauge block they're so big and strong that once they get moved in and you start to tire a little bit it makes for a very long acronym Taylor to throw on first down now he's gonna run down the sidelines inside the 15 inside the pan he loses the football Reinhardt is on it at the Colorado to first down for the Buffalo now most college football games are decided on four or five big plays the brass has made a couple this afternoon here's a big play by the Cu beeping Steve Taylor wants to score he has a chance to dip out of barrel so he keeps his balance and you can see the mark gres stripped him right there and the ball miraculously stays in bounds Don Reinhardt look the discovery is - you dodged a big bullet and now the fans are sure to come alive as he you can deep in their own territory here's where you really have trouble getting off at the Gorga - trying to find something that will give you the ability to move the football you don't want to take too many risks at turning the ball over well that's play right there kept Colorado in the football game plain and simple first and ten and st can here and that's going to be a problem down there at that end of the field it closed in and it's very loud reminiscent of what happened in Iowa on what turned out to be the last drive and instituting on here the Iowa fans up in a war when the referee part they had to quiet the crowd down well Colorado's got a big drive in him now's the time 13:55 ago in the fourth quarter again you'd like to see him drive 97 yards being a realistic against this defense it's gonna be very difficult to do what they'd like to see happen to see you to punch out three or four first downs and at worst gauge pump the football down again in the Nebraska end see a finesse peeking get the play off [Applause] he does and it's not really negative [Applause] I'd say stop to the line of scrimmage Lior APN was not blocked number 47 was the second leading tackler the club forgive your limited offensive with regard to what's way to call you looking safety I'm trying to make the first round sometimes those hugs physicans home check into the game to pull this thing out they've got para confound two tight ends in their physic 33 heaven through the back there's JJ up and over across the middle to about the seventh to pick up the floor that will be third down and six pchew I think would like to get involved in some sort of options tax if you run a great risk run the option of being crushed to pitch the football thankful what the defense does he pitch with his deep in your chairs we're asking for trouble so what they're trying to do is shipping line up in the power ride not folks off the football pretty tough against the second where he faced in the big 8 what would you doing here would you take a gamble on it well I think I think you try to read the option play and before potential possible and if he hasn't the option he closed he's got a man open at Paris John's across the 40 all the way out to the Colorado 49 Lag we may have a face man that may move it inside the nebraska 42-point emblazon make the plays and that was a big big play the first reception this afternoon for Colorado that's the ticket play as a game and Mike go down as the biggest play of the year and then she throws this thing up look like the wind might hold it up and John Parrott lumbers down the sideline he's going to get caught but certainly couldn't see you out of danger third down and step let's see if we can see the facemask right there and you can see a very good call as Reggie Cooper comes over the top and goes to the face man and he said 187 yards might not be feasible but certainly as you look at 47 it's a lot easier 42 yards pickup can inside when the grants the 47:12 a team to go in the game sucks trails seven to nothing handoff the plan again JJ up the middle running hard and with Nebraska 41 Lauren speak made the tackle this happens on all levels of football offensive lineman you're backed up we planted down seven nothing has been going well in the rashes and stuffing it can you make a big play and all of a sudden the big folks up for hey wait a minute we're right in this game 11:50 to go that kind of push by the senior offensive line stuck your visit for the bucket [Applause] John Parrott his fourth catch of the year not any bigger than that goodness he may have gone to brass go outside the flag is down his asking a fanty-tale looked like God with Thomas may have jumped a little early and the way sinuous popping it appears to be on Nebraska you know where they father one second Bob that big good Colorado first down believe it is it is for Santa to Nebraska 36 to go away Colorado with a 36 yards away from tying this one up [Music] [Applause] [Music] referees who stopped the clock with 1129 to go [Music] so you can't say enough about Colorado's offensive line and a job they have done well they certainly did a good job the first half they've been shut down a little bit the third quarter I think largely apart due to the fact that they've been forced in their own territory and the breast is quite better deep as the second hand [Music] first and 10 from the 36 Pritchard in motion and then see the handoff the plan again people 96 again hit him first JJ they'll give them forward progress to the 32 that'll be a pickup of foot bucket the six kentrell's number 91 it was it is really an option football and a rushing attack erotical when your second stick you take up four yards on first down you can do just about everything in the game and on second of six you can throw the ball you can run the option to the lineup the yeah and then power football need to be a lot it shows up he'll garden number 62 is trying to get off the field you can see the bottom of the screen he's hurting JJ planning in right now 116 yards on 20 K he has really done the guy four sons of duty without the with a pulled hamstring second down and six from the 32 an empty looking to throw now he'll run now he's hit 5 feet and he'll go down after Nebraska 34 Lawrence heatman the 96 is really played a fine game for Nebraska but see you tried to sneak Mike Pritchard up the sideline and the Cornhuskers really picked it up Charles Pryor did not buy the fake and that's what forced to run tough to David it takes such a short cropped length game you got to get back he's gonna deliver the football with a drop like that boy it's got to be going to keep those rocket was brought back to Italy ugh yargh [Applause] we wonder to you and I thought once I put a play-action pass Campbell why do the left Collins why to the right passing situation play-action here comes the rush and that's the avoids will fell down the sidelines inside the 30 feet has them at the 28 that'll be short by a couple of yards of a first down and bill McCartney has a decision to make with 946 to go in the game now they ran the same play and salen s he's got Mike Pritchard wide open right now you got to get rid of the football but forced to bring it down as good penetration by the Cornhuskers and now sal is going to try to knock it up in there and get the first down fourth and two you're forced to go for it and here's the situation you've got five people telling you what you should run and somebody's got to make the decision as to what the tall course bill McCartney not wearing a headset the past few weeks that confidence in the system they're making the calls that were partly run in the show it is fourth down a long one from the 27th self can't handle the fumble those big pain Flanigan's on with the 29 the Colorado has botched the opportunity and Nebraska has the football bad exchange between nor guard in an instant nothing that has happened a couple of times this afternoon and that one came at the worst possible time [Music] so Colorado's Gardens that drive on their own tree they were stopped on down at the 27 943 to go we'll be back in Lincoln existence [Music] / it was going to be some sort of counter option with Pritchard being the pitch back and all JJ Flanagan can do is pick up the football try to run forward he can't make key mistakes in a big game like this is he who has made a number of them and that would inexcusable most coaches will say that's the worst mistake you could make something to practice on as PARP endure the ball carrier for Nebraska good look at Tom Osborne one thing into the Sun been a fine coach hard to believe that a couple of years ago some folks wanted to run Tom Osborne out of Lincoln he's won 99 games 19 consecutive years he's only 156 can 16 years I don't know what they want good news Alfred Williams number 94 back in the ball game his injury not serious and he is lined up with that right defensive end spot second Nate from the 32 this is Bell on the wing back around he's got room bounces into his own man but he's across from 40 we're both there that's enough for Nebraska first down 857 to go in the game first time we've seen this this would bring it back a few years to Johnny Rodgers lined up with wing back and the wing back counter Rogers made that play so effective Richard Bell not a great runner but certainly good event he's go down to Bobby Andersen Backus as you can see after Williams is back in the ballgame he had a flight hip pointer he's back in Joe Garten sprained his ankle so that was his problem Scott rice nothing in for him carpenter on first down he's out across the 43 to the 45 with the ngos slams into the turf pickup of about four second down and six Colorado down by a touchdown and what they don't want to happen now is to have Nebraska keep it exclusively on the ground and work that clock and put any kind of points on the board now they can't afford that the breath to score at all man and at some point here in a couple of minutes they're gonna have to start to worry about that clock here's the pitch to Clark he's got a convoy in front of him and across midfield James runs a mouth ago spotted answered Nebraska at the Colorado 44 another Nebraska first down well they've gone to the power pitch the number of occasions in the second half did a good job of hooking Knabe indeed knocking Michael Jones off his feet again kids park about five nine and 200 pounds maybe the break a lot of pop rocks again over the years they've had good running back no few lot of guys with the desert the de braska back breakage so many tacky Bell 21 carpenter 29 Clark 32 the fake the pitch the Bell well young had that one some beautiful t42 hook up of a couple second down and eight balk continues to run he didn't go out of that 7-nothing Nebraskan the only score a three yard run by Ken Clark midway in the third quarter capping off a nine play 59 yards drive dad's called you [Music] second down and eight Nebraska love the ball on the Colorado 42 barks and motion hailer looking to throw James may have been clipped there's a flag Taylor's knocked out but I think James has hit back at midfield so you could take your sick both flags will be on the brass threw one for a hold and one for a clip and you're right Tim James first was held and then was clipped to play for tianjin little double dose and the Cornhuskers tried to run the option attack and flip the back into the flat it is play the back Steve Taylor will run the football see if we can see it there's the call exactly what Colorado needed to a break like this to force them into a second and long for the hold right there you can see his carpenters got James by the back and here comes the clip a Steve Chandler is outside contained as Jake young tries to put a block on James hitting work early in the middle of the back if you're Cu fans too bad they can't penalize me twice that'll move it back to the Nebraska 43 704 to go Colorado needs to stop him on downs or makes a big play here any little time I need the football in concealed position second 23 save I would even have capacity passing down but I would sense it Nebraska music Taylor outside and allow him to run the football he's got anything whatsoever the see who's gonna win they really can't let him convert on the second and third down plays here second 2:23 Taylor a quarterback draw across the 45 out to the 49 I could go knock them down there's illusio down as well that's exactly what they did they wear the quarterback draw well I'll tell her to pick up some yardage now your third in 16 and certainly a lot better than third and 23 we've got a man down and believe it kanae miss roogey to Colorado hopefully he is okay because you can make a case that he is Colorado's premier defensive player he appears to be in some pain well you're concerned anytime players down in the field and especially worried when they grabbed her leg and being worked on very gingerly let's take a break and we'll be back to Lincoln 646 to go in the ball game and McGee is being helped new speed Steve Taylor they are not in their passing set no they're not play-action Taylor looking to throw with time here comes Alfred Williams here comes Cole Hayes Taylor gets it off and it's going to market a complete at the 40 which is hard to believe that a flag is down back at the Nebraska 42 Patsy signed and receiver the dill McCartney as you can see who doesn't like the call there is a flag and I would presume it's going to be a clip or a hold a clip on Nebraska's judging awareness I have the option to take the player force around the front 4th and 7th tailor with a lot of time trying to get something to the throne side we see good penetration by the large gray there's the hole actually could have been a hole that was it but here's the throw let's see if he comes down inbound there's a penalty comes from the left side no way early in the line unless he drugs the right foot very very tough to see from that angle but it didn't appear to be a good gift Colorado was taking the penalty we want to move the braska back they're back at their own 35 those delays were called for the cliff see if we can see if he drags his right foot after he catches the football he has the ball of their the rights of both feet appear to be in the air as you catches the ball the left foot comes squarely down on my wife after that call that's the value definitely not in the field of gender one of these people third and thirty-one Belen Gregory on the wide receiver Mahler with time fine time which is in completing the kicking for Bell most of the Colorado secondary had time to get onto that path so good choice by bill McCartney take the penalty you get an incomplete pass Colorado should get good field position with six twelve to go and an impressive stand by the Cu deepen when he talked about had Nebraska able to go down and definitely get a field all this game for all practical purposes would have been over but with six twelve to go and see you and looking like they'll get seasick field position maybe time for one last drive Collins averages 10 and a half yards of return Campbell nine yards of return broker is on to punt this one is coming to Jojo he'll let it bounce and attend the end zone so Collins makes the right decision if this to you heart of the for sweating out that one and hopefully that is gonna get into the end zone they trail by a touchdown [Music] nothing that's how much down to me today if you're eager for this work up nothing worse than pen the handoff the Flanagan JJ a hole he's got six yards Hicks was there you know I think even with all the missed opportunities if you told bill McCartney with six minutes to go in the game you'd have 80 hours to go and a chance to hi and maybe go ahead in the contest he would have taken his chance he would have accepted that certainly see he has missed always an opportunity to score a cut a chance right here to drive the length of the field against the big 8 best defense I agree the Nebraska 274 yards total offense Colorado 220 [Applause] and off the Flanigan JJ bounces off one pack for a second tackle loses the football its way to the Empire day-day bounced off two tackles and then lost the ball it's Colorado while fighting for extra yardage that sometimes will happen Atlantic unfortunate if that didn't wind up in the hands of someone wearing a red jersey that's the sixth fumble for the CEO of Buffalo last year they fumbled four times and fortunately for them they've lost only one go [Music] to the ball game 33 and they've left two fullbacks in the game kissing and Hemingway both in the contest in the power I Pritchard now running at the last second Hemingway in motion Flanagan behind Kissick is going to be nailed in short at the 27 no game fourth and three was 442 to go English is not yet in the ballgame and Colorado I believe will take a timeout to talk this one over they will with 435 to go here in Lincoln go down to the sidelines and Bobby Anderson well early injury update you can see Joe carton limping off the field he's back in there he said then take me up I'm going back in canaima smoggy has badly sprained his right ankle they've taken his sock and tape job off he's been in pain on the sideline token Avis did not return debuffed need to get something going they're down to seven to nothing back to running days thanks Bobby buffs need to make a decision here do they go for it on fourth down just to look bill McCartney's face and the people he's talking to it looks like they made the decisions they're gonna go for about they make it it's a great call I'll tell you what don't there's too much time left I think for 35 to go and it's very easy to second-guess any coach at any given time but with this much time and you still have two timeouts left I think you have to punt the football the bills in a gamble will go for okay I disagree with you I think it's a gutsy call by the apartment we find the win the football game you feel if they can't make it here they're going to lose the game anyway because if they punt the football they may not go to town so that's certainly true if you don't make it here the game's over for some prick if they were fourth and one I might be able to buy it when she would happen for 35 we've gotta get to the 30 [Applause] it's plan again he's got a first down JJ across the 35 to the 37 a 10 yard pickup well that turns into a great fault j-jake wanted to get either this court through a nice hole they looked like they were going to run the reverse option and it's nut with the Flannigan from the I bet you got a lot of red jerseys flowing to the outside see me has been able to run that reverse options successfully a couple of times when she ground level was to you often today as a good job up fourth disappeared off the dragon he's been through a big hole eulenberg out of the way from planning it hard to believe enforcement three Nebraska could allow that kind of a whole person pen Flanagan again 435 close to the 36 Pete's on the bottom of that pile four minutes to go in the game this is D Drive right here but no question about it now no matter where you are in the field I like and pulled one out here we got 15 yards to go 343 pound we haven't seen much of Jeff Campbell in the offense Flanagan ain't gone to the football he get down to the 44 4 yard pickup it'll be third and three Willie Griffin made to stop the runs are effective but they are eating up the clock which is at 322 in County JJ Flanagan really was an impressive afternoon he's dropped the football a couple of times but here's the youngster that hasn't had a chance to play most of this campaign and over 100 yards a couple of weeks ago this last time [Music] for bu has a lot of quick ways in often out of misdirection Texas Campbell picked up short of the first down he may have lost the y'all Jeff Mills it was 42 days of stop and now with 246 in county but now there is no decision for thefor you've got a actually fourth and five you've got to go for it and again this will be a crucial call trying to go for something I presume as abrasca has not seen this afternoon Collins checks into the game and now Colorado I think wisely uses another time now a daycare they were not together on the play day but even though you'd like to have some timeouts in that last minute better to use one now and come up with a play at they're convinced and get them a first down as you see Gary Barnett in the headset who was on the phone with Jerry DiNardo upstairs gentle bill McCartney obviously has the final say he's not been involved too much in the offensive play selection last few weeks but as a head coach he's got the ride and certainly I would guess he will use that opportunity to say this is what I think we should go with let's go with the play one thing about Colorado Nebraska they want this year but when you think about it and you never like to look back and second-guess what they were so close to beating Oklahoma and they've had opportunities here to the basically take control of the football game in the first half I guess Nebraska that's sometimes how things go in a in a season with the team that is struggling for an identity a team that is trying to emerge from the rest of the pack so to speak and jump up in the national combo with a few field so these two thousand words glad Custer of partisan navigator the field on a Clark he threw for the afternoon Colorado can keep the ball a defenseman happy fourth and five from the 42 [Applause] Leslie will throw incomplete he was looking for Prichard Mike was there but could not hang on Nebraska takes over with 226 to go in the game that's the Colorado 40 to the Bucks have one timeout left Colorado's gonna need a turnover we'll be back in the football [Music] david ago there's a hatch and at the play they had pretty just keeping us would have taken a perfect throw by next year the bastard needed a good job up front hitler hands up but just couldn't come up with the catch carpenter and clark the back he sees Kent Clark is at a pretty good day inside the 40 to the 38 he's protecting the football Paul Rose we were fixing the Mike Barnes 15 on make the time to twelve and Counting pick up a five second down and five from the Colorado 30 stuff this is one of those efforts to see you either they'll tell you after the game down to Augusta that was great but it's not gonna soothe the pain is another loss of the breasts which indeed it turns out that well this really has been a few missed opportunities if you look at the two big names Oklahoma and the see you had chances in bolts that to win the kind of thing again baby food somebody close to his first at the new girl made the tackle again and the brassicas put on the footballer on this gave the kids be over well the village 40 to go Colorado has for one timeout left so barring a fumble Colorado has let one of their superior efforts in the last maybe under the bill McCartney room this is a good Nebraska football team you're right and I think certainly should be applauded for their effort this afternoon but the days of the fifty nine to nineteen scores are older I think Stu you giving every indication that they have the ability to play on a par at least the very first car with appearances Clark at nights when he got good to the 20 biggest asset while Colorado is now paying without question that they can play with the big boys the big age that questions no longer good job up front by the court record they allow Kim Clark to roll up the yardage I mean this objectively Colorado cashes in on their opportunities in the first half they have an excellent chance to win Hiller made this down the football this one it's exactly identical [Music] all right I mentioned the see you had scored 41 points in the last two years against in the grass before now if they scored only over 20 points one time since 1958 the defense has been able to keep him in the games the last four or five years they certainly did so today but they just gave away too many scoring opportunities and had a chance at the Mitchell wrong to take complete or at least control someone [Music] [Applause] the final play of the ballgame a tremendous effort by the Buffaloes of Colorado that had fallen short lannigan he's running for a touchdown the ball for some reason popped out of his arm the enemies company for 12 and Nebraska had the only scoring drive that came in the third quarter as you look at Osborne of apartment 59 yard and Clark went over in Colorado has been shut out seven to nothing by seventh ranked Nebraska Colorado [Music] didn't play like it this afternoon this imagine what is going through his mind but he walked off the food well I'm sure he's you're living right now all those opportunities they had the storage and I too gave the football away or come up with give Nebraska credit for doing what they had to do win the game but but certainly I think the corner at colorado very fine football game with her [Music] [Music] you know we thought we maybe could have gotten one in here we fumbled but anyway a lot of credit their coaches and players and they've got a very fine football team will you team did a nice job on their third quarter Drive for your touchdown going north into the wind we did okay we're pleased to get out of the little win there's a swirling wind in the stadium affect the offensive play sometimes a little bit it's it really went down as the game went along that was good the first part of the game first half the win with the big factory and anyway good to see you again guys you're always one of my favorites and I want to wish you and the Colorado well good luck to you guys Oklahoma next week coming back to you guys let's do all right Bobby thanks very much that may be the understatement of the day that's the Nebraska happy to get out with a win the breast of fortunate to get out anyway Nebraska wins at seven nothing will return to Lincoln in just a bit yards Colorado 290 yards Colorado 235 Nebraska's nemeth averaging over 500 yards a game Motul often they're held under 200 yards under Corbett seven points in somehow someway beep Colorado is the only store the football games day helping it in a 59-yard nine play drive and it really was an important driver obviously for the poor husbands they did a good job they took control of the football game again you want to stress it and anybody knows coming into today's contest of the nation's leading scoring club the team that averages over 46 points per game would be held at seven you think you have a pretty good chance to win but you simply cannot throw away opportunities to score that's a very good defense and that's basically what happened here today you saw Broderick Thomas waving to his fans one thing that hurt Colorado they will one pretend through the air that one a big third down catch by parish but when you can only complete one pass pretty tough to win a football well it is tough I think they were able to move the football somewhat on the ground maybe to the pleasant surprise to bill McCarty but you have to come up with big plays and you only get to so many opportunities in a game they had three or four opportunities in the first half maybe one in the second half didn't take advantage and give to the brass to credit for hanging in there and being able to come up with a very hard earned victory JJ Flanagan an excellent day and relief for the injured Erik the enemy the plan again 28 carries 137 yards but did you know you played here he'll be seen that one run forever if he was the head of the pack on his way to a touchdown and the ball came out of his arms couldn't tell if he tried to change hands or what but certainly he'll remember that one forever David's been a joy was a terrific Colorado effort so we'll talk to everybody a week from today as we go back home and we're looking forward to that in Boulder as see you will wrap it up against Kansas State so the final score Nebraska seven Colorado nothing executive producer of today's game was Tom Edwards burrows
