(AP) — Colo rado coach Bill McCartney may have pointed so hard at Nebraska as his designated rival that he has created a Cornhusker clone. “I can’t think of any other team on our schedule that runs an offense as similar as we run, and I doubt if any body that they’ve played this year looks as much like them as we do. T here’s a lot of similarity. There’s a lot of similarity on defense, too,” Ne braska coach Tom Osborne said. “The difference will probably be more of people than it will be forma tions or those kinds of things,” he said. Consider the obvious: Colorado and Nebraska are ranked No. 2 and 3 respectively heading into Satur day’s Big Eight Conference show down in Boulder, Colo. Both are 8-0 overall and 4-0 in the league. Both have solid defenses, plenty of team speed and option offenses that rely on the run. The way they attack a foe even looks similar. “They’re doing some things very similar to what we’ve done over the years,” Osborne said. “Some of the plays are very similar. “Of course they got involved in the wishbone for several years and then they’ve adapted some of the wishbone to the I-formation,” he said. “I wouldn’t say they’ve necessarily copied our offense. Everybody looks at everybody else and tries to pick out the things you like,” Osborne said. A look at the personnel also shows similarities. Both teams have top option quar terbacks. Nebraska’s Gerry Gdowski has three straight 100-yard-plus rushing games, averages 94.88 yards per game on the ground and is sec ond in the league in passing effe- ciency with nine touchdown passes and a completion percentage of more than 51 percent. Colorado’s Darian Hagan is sixth in the league with a rushing average of 88.5 yards per game and tops in passing efficiency with his 69.09 per cent completion rate and three TD passes. Gdowski has run for 10 touch downs, Hagan 1 1. Both teams have quality running backs. Nebraska has Ken Clark and Leo- dis Flowers at I-back and Bryan Car penter at fullback. Colorado has J.J. Flannigan filling in for the injured Eric Bieniemy at I-back. Both teams have veteran, tested and talented lines, good receivers and plenty of speed on offense. On defense, Nebraska leads the league in rushing defense, total de fense and is No. 2 in scoring de fense. Colorado is second in rushing de fense, total defense and No. I in scoring defense. Both teams have speed and talent at inside and outside linebacker posi tions and lines that have controlled most opponents. “I know this year, Colorado, ev erybody says, is the class of the con ference at this point,” Osborne said. NFL wins against players union SF. LOUIS (AP) — The NFL won a major victory over its players union Wednesday when a federal ap peals court ruled that the free agency clauses of its 1982 labor agreement can’t be challenged as antitrust viola tions just because negotiations are at an impasse. The 2-1 decision by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals left the league pushing for new negotiations. The union, meanwhile, said it would appeal or — in an ex treme scenario — push for decertification that would leave the NFL without labor antitrust protection. The decision involved the antitrust suit filed after the unsuccessful conclusion of the 24-day players strike. Last year, Judge David Doty, presiding over the suit filed in Minneapolis, ruled that an “impasse” in bar gaining existed and as such, the league’s labor antitrust exemption no longer existed. Doty also suggested that he believed the union would prevail at trial. But the trial was put off indefinitely by Wednesday’s split decision. The majority consisted of Judges John R. Gibson and Roger L. Wollman, who upheld the position of the NFL Management Council, argued last May by Paul Taglia- bue, who was elected the NFL’s new commissioner last week. They held that because the system of free-agent com pensation was the result of a collective bargaining agreement, it didn’t constitute an antitrust violation. “In sum,” they wrote, “we hold that the antitrust laws are inapplicable under the circumstances of this case as the ... exemption extends beyond impasse.” Robinson AL managei of the year NEW YORK (AP) — Frani Robinson, who guided the Bale more Orioles to one of thegrtai ; est turnarounds in baseball hit lory, was selected America: League Manager of the Yearor Wednesday. Robinson took the Orioles front last place in the AL Eat with a 54-107 record in 19881 second place and an 87-75 mart this year, only two games Ireliinti Toronto.

Cito Gaston, who managed the Blue Jays to first place in theAL Fast, finished second with three first-place votes and 62 [joints.
