Ask almost any 10-year-cld
Lincoln boy what he wants to be
when he get3 older, and the
answer b certain to be one of
the following: the president, an
astronaut or a Nebraska foot
ball player.
One exception is Nebraska
senior quarterback Craig Sund
berg. In 1971, when a fleet-footed
winsb ac k named Johnny Rod
gers was leading the Huskers to
their last national litb, Sund
berg was beginning hb football
career, playing for Leon's Mar
ket in Lincoln's midget football
program.
But, unlike most of hb team
mates, the 10-year-old son of
former iHusker gridder David
Sundberg never envisioned him
self in a Nebraska uniform. Be
coming a college football player,
Sundberg says, was not a boy
hood dream.
Football was only a piece of
the puzzle in Sundberg's life.

"It was a weird deal," the 6-1,
100-pound signal-caller eaid. "I
wasn't the typical kid who loved
just athletics. I loved doing a lot
of things, not just football"
The 1GS0 graduate of Lincoln
Southeast Ilih School has in
herited the huge task of replac
ing one-third of the "Scoring
Explosion": Turner Gill, last
year's quarterback who now
plays for the Canadian Football
League.
The route Sundberg took to
the top of Nebraska's first depth
chart of the ICO 4 season va3
typical of most college football
players.
After his midget football days,
Sundberg spent a year in South
east's freshman program before
moving up to the varsity hb
sophomore year. He saw little
action during hb initial season
with the varsity. But, under the
guidance of head coach Frank
Solich, Sundberg developed into .
an all-state quarterback hi3 jun
ior year.
Along with the all-state honors
came the college recruiters. Five
major colleges contacted Sund
berg, but none followed through
with an offer. Then Nebraska
stepped into the picture.
"Coach (Tom) Osborne told
me they were looking at me very
strongly " Sundberg said. "Going
into my senior year, I was pretty
sure I was going to Nebraska,
but it wasnt automatic."
Chuck Mizerski replaced Sol
ich, who accepted a coaching .
offer a Nebraska at the begin
ning of Sundberg's senior year.
Mizerski was impressed with the
returning two-year letterman.
"Craig is a smart football play
er with a big-league arm," Mizer
ski said. "But the thing that
impressed the most when I first
met him was he oozed confi
dence in hb ability, and it rub
bed off on hb teammates."
Sundberg saw a good deal of
playing time for a third-string
quarterback last year, backing
up seniors Gill and Nate Mason.
He scored four times, and com
pleted nine of 1 2 passes for 1 59
yards and two touchdowns.
With all of the pressure Sund
berg has received about being
Gill's replacement, he has man
aged to keep a low-key approach
toward the situation.
"The only difference I see in
preparing for thb year than any
other year is I realize that this b
my last year at Nebraska," Sund
berg said. "If I play like I know I
can play, I could start the first
game"
Sundberg credits much of hb
success on the gridiron to the
way hb parents brought him
up. Sundberg said hb parents
"have been the backbone of my
athletics, someone I could al
ways turn to"
Linda Sundberg said her son
was a self-motivated athlete.
"We've never pushed Craig, WeVe
never needed to," she said
"They let me be my own per
son and always let me know
they cared about me," Sundberg
said.
