uskers in goodl sfape
as bowl practice begin

The Nebraska football team is
set to resume Sugar Bowl prepa
rations in full force Wednesday,
and Strength Coach Boyd Epley
said the Cornhuskers will report
to practice in good shape.
"They should start practice as
healthy as they should be," Epley
said.
The Huskers have been run
ning and lifting weights for about
two weeks after taking a break
following the Oklahoma game.
Epley said the players retained
99 percent of their strength and
conditioning during the short lay
off. "We were very pleased" Epley
said. "This group has proven to be
one of the hardest-working groups
of athletes weVe ever had. They're
a real pleasure to work with."
The Huskers' physical condition
should please the Nebraska
coaches, who have been on the
road recruiting since the loss to
Oklahoma. Linebacker coach
John Melton was one of the few
coaches who had returned Mon
day. Melton said he's ready for
practice to start.
"After 12 days on the road, it
gets a little long," Melton said.
"I'm ready to get back to footbalL"
Melton's trip included Minne
sota, Iowa and Wisconsin. He said
Nebraska would like to have sev
eral high school players out of

those states.
"It's just a matter of getting
them," he said.
Melton said Minnesota may be
tougher to recruit from since Lou
Holtz is the coach at the Univer
sity of Minnesota.
"He's looked upon as a savior
up there, but I'm sure we will get
our share," Melton said.
The Huskers will probably spend
time on fundamentals Wednes
day, Melton said, and possibly
work on a few formations for the
Louisiana State game. The Ne
braska coaches havent had time
to look at much film of the Tigers
yet, he said.
Melton lamented the fact that
Nebraska will play another bowl
game in the opponent's home
state. LSU is in Baton Rouge,
about 90 miles from New Orleans,
host city of the Sugar BowL
"It would have been nice if
Auburn would have won a game,"
Melton said. Auburn lost to Ala
bama 17-15 on Dec. 1. Had the
Tigers won, they would have been
the Southeastern Conference's
Sugar Bowl representative.
Instead, the Huskers will face a
noisy, pro-LSU crowd in the
Superdome, which could affect
the NU quarterbacks' ability to
audible, Melton said.
"It would be nice if we could
play on a neutral field," he said.
"We played Miami at Miami last
year, which was ridiculous."

A third time was not a charm for the University of
Wyoming men's basketball team Monday night 83 Ne
braska gunned down the Cowboys, 79-65 before 10,612
fans at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
The Huskers have defeated Wyoming the last two sea
sons: 68-57 two years ago in Lincoln and 67-64 last year
in Laramie.
Wyoming coach Jim Brandenburg's squad entered the
game sporting a 3-1 record with the loss coming on the
road against Southern California
The Cowboys did not go down without a fight, as the
teams traded buckets for the first 15 minutes of the
game.
The Huskers put together a six-point scoring spurt
midway through the first half on a jumper by Ronnie
Smith and four tallies from Harvey Marshall
Marshall, a 6-3 transfer from Northeastern Junior
College in Sterling, Colo., hit 14 of his game-high 22
points in the first half, on 7-1 1 shooting from the field.
Husker center Dave Hoppen chipped in 11 tallies in
the first h&lfj four coming on back-to-back jump shots as
Nebraska outscored the Cowboys 9-5 to take a 39-18
hslftime lead.
Hoppen felt the Huskers were a little flat coming off a
78-73 thriller over the Creighton Bluejays last weekend.
"I dont know if we were ready to play," Hoppen said. "I
think coming out of the Creighton game, after that big
win, we didn't think Wyoming was that good, but Moe
kept telling us they would be one of the most physical
teams we would play all season."
Wyoming closed to within three, 44-4 1 , on a jump shot
by guard Les Boiden with 14:41 remaining.
But the Cowboys came no closer as Marshall, Brian
Carr and Curtis Moore nailed jumpers to push Nebras
ka's lead to nine, 50-41.
Hoppen followed with five of his 21 points to turn a
nip-and-tuck battle into a 16 point Husker lead.
The Cowboys refused to roll over and play dead, out
scoring the Huskers 16-13 during the last five minutes of
the game.
The Huskers will put their undefeated record on the
line Wednesday night when they host the Wisconsin
Badgers. Tip-off i3 7:35 p.m.
