Minnesota, Nebraska's second
opponent, opens its 1934 football
campaign this Saturday, hosting
the Rice Owls at the Minneapolis
Metrodome.
Minnesota finished last in the
Big Ten last season with a 0-9
league mark. The only win in the
school's 1-10 overall record was a
21-17 season-opening victory over
Rice. '
The Gophers were crushed 84
13 the following week by Ne
braska. The lopsided score was
the Cornhuskers biggest winning
after poor scrimmage
margin ever against an NCAA
Division I-A team.
Minnesota first-year head coach
Lou Holtz found few bright spots
after sending his squad through
its first full-scale scrimmage of
the fall.
"It was difficult to analyze a
scrimmage like that without a
good look at the films," Iloitz said
in a Minnesota press release. "But
from what I saw on the spot,
there was not much to be pleased
about."
The offense suffered through
several penalties, fumbles, and
interceptions.
When the offense wasn't bum
bling, the defense was. The defense
allowed four 'big-play touch
downs of more than 60 yards.
Despite the blunders, Holtz was
pleased with the overall play of
the defense.
Veteran quaterback Brett Sadek
will call the signals for the
Gophers this fall Sadek is start
ing ahead of three promising fresh
man quarterbacks: Dan Ford,
Rickey Foggie, and Alan Holt.
Sadek completed seven passes
for 156 yards and two touch
downs in his initial fall scrimmage.
"Sadek is our No. 1 guy," Holtz
said. "He has been impressive so
far."
Holtz has 15 starters returning
(six offensive, nine defensive)
from a team that was outscored
518-190 last year.
Holtz, who left Arkansas in Dec
ember, will take a 106-53-5 career
coaching record to a school that
has lost 18 of its last 19 games.
But after the early stages of fall
practice, Holtz was able to see a
measurable amount of progress.
