As a result, Mdtca said Nebraska may pass the ball more next year. Tora (head coach 02orne) has indicated we'd throw a little more next year because we've got a lot of good re ceivers and quarterbacks who caa get the ball to them," said Maltoa, who coaches the tight ends and wmacks. like Moore, Maltoa has several players ia ccntentioa for both positions.
