Nebraska Is Whirled by a Cyclone

Iowa State today stunned Nebraska, the No. 1 team in The New York Times’s computer ranking, by beating the Cornhuskers at their own game. The Cyclones controlled the line of scrimmage and ran, ran, ran for a 19-10 upset.

Led by quarterback Marv Seiler, Iowa State posted some Nebraska-like rushing statistics for its first victory over the Cornhuskers since 1977.

Nebraska (7-2, 4-1) led the nation in rushing (351.1 yards a game) and scoring (43.3) and was coming off routs of 52-7 over Colorado and 49-7 over Kansas, both nationally ranked.

Ranked No. 7 in the Associated Press poll, the Cornhuskers were being compared to some of the past great Nebraska teams.

”You’re never any better than your last game,” Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne said. “People were starting to say a lot of nice things about us, but we could fix that in a week’s time and I’m afraid we have.”

”I think the big difference was that they played with a lot of emotion and it looked like our tank was a little bit dry today. We played two emotional games in a row against Colorado and Kansas. We talked a lot about it this week, about the dangers of the situation, and I don’t know really how much sunk in.”

Seiler, a fifth-year senior making his first start, ran 24 times for 144 yards as the Cyclones (4-6 over all, 2-4 Big Eight) rushed for 373 yards. Seiler’s big day included a 78-yard run that set up Iowa State’s only touchdown.
