L INCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska rushed for more than 400 yards against Washington while the Cornhuskers' defense forced six turnovers and battered a quarter- back who was touted as one of the nation's best. Right now, No. 2 Nebraska looks as pow- erful as ever to just about everyone except coach Frank Solich. "We played well and we're 4-0," Solich said after Nebraska's 55-7 victory Saturday. "But the moment you think you're good, that's when you start to take steps back." It was Washington's biggest loss since 1975 and dropped the Huskies (2-1) from No. 9 to No. 20. "It was a very impressive win from a team that under Frank Solich is right in step with (Bob) Devaney and (Tom) Osborne," Washington coach Jim Lambright said. With I-back DeAngelo Evans and quar- terback Bobby Newcombe back from last month's knee injuries, Nebraska rushed for 434 yards and had 527 total yards. Coming in, the Huskers had averaged 259.7 yards rushing. Evans gained 146 yards on 13 carries and had touchdown runs of 60, 14 and 19 yards. It was his first action since the 1996 Big 12 title game after missing last season with an injured abdominal muscle. "It was a fairy-tale thing," Evans said. "I was nervous but I felt relaxed. When I got "You just want to crawl into a hole. You can't believe this happened on national - Brock Huard Washington quarterback the first hit, all that went away." After Newcombe's 3-yard touchdown run I on the game's first series, Evans scored on three of the next four possessions. After full- back Willie Miller's 3-yard touchdown 5:12 before halftime, Nebraska led 35-0.t "I think at halftime, all of their running backs were averaging seven yards a carry," I Lambright said. "We didn't have very good answers with our defense." Meanwhile, the Nebraska defense pound- ed Washington's Brock Huard with the same game plan that knocked him out in the first quarter of last year's game at Seattle with an ankle sprain. Defensive end Chad Kelsay batted 1 Huard's first pass and almost caught it. Kelsay later had an interception, as did lineman Jason Wiltz, who returned after; missing two games with an injured ankle. Huard was sacked three times and was hit hard on nearly every play. He also fum- bled twice. "He's not the kind of quarterback who can sit back in the pocket and feel comfort- able when there's a lot of bodies flying around," Kelsay said, "It's nice to know coming off the ball thAt he's not worried about his receivers. He's worried about somebody taking his head off." Nebraska sometimes stacked up to four extra defenders on the line, usually hitting Huard with blitzes by linebackers and cor- nerbacks. Most of Huard's passes were rushed. Others were overthrown or thrown away. If not for Huard's 6-yard touchdown pass to Joe Jarzynka late in the first half, Washington would have gone scoreless for the first time since 1981. "This stings, this hurts," said Huard,-who was 18-of-32 for 160 yards. "You just want to crawl into a hole. You can't believe this happened on national TV." Washington was the last visiting team to win at Lincoln -in 1991. Since then, the Huskers have 45 straight home wins and an 18-game winning streak overall. Nebraska is 11-0 in the past five seasons against Top 10 teams. AP Nebraska quarterback Bobby Newcombe ran through the Washington defense last Saturday as his Cornhuskers prevailed in a runaway, 55-7. Kansas State rolls, Seminoles rock Trojans MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) - Michael Bishop threw for 441 yards and four touchdowns, including a x chool-record 97-yarder to Aaron ockett, as No. 3 Kansas State won its 12th straight over Northeast Louisiana, 62-7. Bishop, who set a school record with 475 yards in total offense, com- pleted 23 of 40 passes and was 48 yards away from Chad May's school record for passing yards in a game when he went to the bench with 11 minutes remaining and Kansas State *-0) leading 48-7. No. 10 FLORIDA ST. 30, No. 18 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 10 At Tallahassee, Fla., Chris Weinke threw for 228 yards and two touchdowns in a game that featured periodic down- pours caused by Hurricane Georges. The Seminoles (3-1) forced five turnovers and held Southern Cal (3-1) to three completions for 23 yards pass- ing - 172 below the Trojans' average. No. 11 VIRGINIA 24, DUKE 0 0 At Durham, N.C., Virginia's defense forced eight turnovers and Aaron Brooks atoned for a poor pass- ing day with a 57-yard scoring run late in the third quarter. Virginia (3-0 ACC, 4-0) is off to its best ACC start in three years. Duke (0- 2, 2-2) lost a record 20th straight league game and was shut out for the first time in 55 games. No. 15 COLORADO 18, BAYLOR 16 He completed only 2-of-8 passes, was sacked once and fumbled away a snap to squander a scoring opportunity. Little of Adam Bledsoe's play reminded anyone of his older brother, New England Patriot quarterback Drew Bledsoe. Until the fourth quarter, that is. Bledsoe, who replaced Mike Moschetti late in the third quarter after Moschetti sprained his right ankle, &npleted a -yard pass to Darrin iaverini, setting up Jeremy Aldrich's 31-yard field goal with two minutes remaining in No. 15 Colorado's 18-16 victory over Baylor Saturday night. The Buffaloes (4-0) built a 15-3 lead, fell behind 16-15 with 6:31 left, then rallied behind Bledsoe for the GOLF Continued from Page 88 Michigan the lack of good scores it needed to finish higher.

Marc Bulger passed for 253 yards and two touchdowns for the Mountaineers (2-1). John Fitzgerald threw two toychdown passes for Tulsa (2-1). No. 20 OREGON 63, STANFORD 28 At Eugene, Ore., Reuben Droughns rushed for 214 yards and three touch- down and Akili Smith threw for four first-half scores as Oregon crushed Stanford. Oregon (1-0 Pac-10, 4-0) piled up of Michigan this week by shooting 889 to tie for fourth. The Hawkeyes were led by tourna- ment medalist Englund, whose 216 was good enough to tie him with Jeremy Langley of Kentucky, and Willie Kent of Notre Dame. The three entered a playoff where Englund prevailed. Kentucky was able to finish sec- ond, followed by Notre Dame. Northern Illinois was the other 664 yards in offense and scored its most points since a 97-0 defeat of Willamette in 1916. It was the most points given up by Stanford (0-2, 1-3) since a 72-0 loss at UCLA in 1954. No. 21 VIRGINIA TECH 27, PITTSBURGH 7 At Blacksburg, Va., Keion Carpenter had three interceptions, including one he returned for a fourth- quarter touchdown, and Virginia Tech won despite playing much of the game without its top two quarterbacks. Virginia Tech (2-0 Big East, 4-0) had to use safety Nick Sorenson at quarterback because starter Al Clark was injured last week and backup Dave Meyer separated a shoulder early in the second half. squad to finish in front of the Wolverines, tying the Hawkeyes with an 889. Michigan's score went up by 26 strokes this weekend, but the team was still able to move up from eighth to sixth. Consistency will continue to be a factor for the Wolverines, and must improve if they are to have better showing at more important tourna- ments than the Iowa Invitational. r_ X71 f ~N HIGH AkRKS FROM MORNINGSTAR S&P , MOODY'S, MONEY MA'GAYINE AND BILL.' i LECTURE NOTE BLO OT I 10 DAYS ONLY /jt , tea lot of pride in gaining high marks from the major rating services.
