OKLAHOMA STATE 35   INDIANA STATE 3

Small report on the OkSt game.  Denson rushed for 110yds and
2TDs.  OSU had 4 rushing TDs(one more than all of '91).

Nebraska 49, Utah 22(thanks to Mike Nolan for the report)

Well, a few questions were answered convincingly at Memorial Stadium in
Lincoln:  Mike Grant deserves the starting QB job, Derek Brown and Keith
Jones are a 'pick-em' as starting I-back, Lance Lewis is another in the
continuing series of excellent Husker fullbacks, and Johnny Mitchell
won't be missed as much as he might have thought.  (Of course, after
William Washington gets to keep a TD reception he'll be happier.  He
dropped one and had another called back on a penalty.)

However, a few questions were left very much up in the air:  Who is the
backup QB, what will happen when they go up against their designated
Florida Bowl Opponent Passing Machine, and does the defense even HAVE
a 2nd string team?

76,234 red-clad fans (Utah's colors also include red) extended Nebraska's
NCAA record sell-out streak to 183 consecutive games.  Next week's game
against 1-AA Middle Tennessee State is also expected to be a sell-out, thanks
in part to one of the local gas/convenience chains, which is offering free
tickets to their 'Junior Husker Club' members.  (The basketball game against
Appalachian State on Dec 19th will be similarly attended.)

A 35-0 first half was followed by a 14-22 second half, and nobody will accuse
Dr. Tom of running up the score to try to beat the spread.  The 2nd half
was very ragged, in part because both the offense and defense were a
mixture of first and second string players, then second and third, then
third and ???.  The crowd was silent, and even the Wave didn't appear much
in the second half, in part because the student section (what there is
left of it--student sales were less than 8000 this year) emptied out after
halftime.

The officials also seemed to be lethargic in the second half, and made
some calls that were confused, at best.  Fortunately, the outcome of the
game wasn't in doubt.  Maybe this was the Big Eight Conference's way of
arranging for on-the-job training for new officials?

Backup QB Joel Cornwell was unimpressive, but also has been suffering from
a sore shoulder, and only played a few downs.  True freshman Tommie Frazier
got in a couple of series, which answered the question whether he would be
red-shirted but little else.  (Tom was heard to say on Friday that he was
worried that after he took Grant out of the game his QB's might try to call
plays that aren't even in the Nebraska playbook!)

KANSAS  49   OREGON STATE  20

Oregon St handed this game to KU, even though Hilleary had a 
career day.  Hilleary threw for 286yds, 3TDs and ran one in
himself.  The Beavers woes started when the punter mishandled
the snap and was tackled at the one.  Then OregonSt fumbled
on their next possession to give KU the ball at the 27.

IOWA STATE 35    OHIO U.  9

The Cyclones needed lightning delay (for about 50minutes) in
the 2nd quarter to get on track.   OhioU was up 6-0 with 12:04
left in the first half when the lightning came, even though it
had been raining most of the game.  ISU then came back out and
fumbled.  This gave OhioU a 9-0 lead.  Then ISU came alive and
scored twice,53yd and 66yd drives to take a 14-9 halftime lead.
The game was in ISU's control after that.  ISU used a triple
option offense.
