' Steve (Zarfc) Pissfkiewicz, one of the Csg 8 Conference's,
and possibfy one of the nation's, top passers.
"IVe're doing a iQt of tfitngs better now than we did at
the beginning of the season," Cutterfteld said. "IVe're
starting to ptrt it aJI together."
BimerfkSd"safd the Huskers have worked more on pass'
defense this week "because we know- he (Pisarkiewtcz)
can throw the football. -

Pisarkiewicz has missed three games because of a
shoulder injury but came in during the second fjuarter last
week in the 21-17 loss to Iowa State University to lead
FJIU in a near comeback.
Husker defensive coordinator Monte ' Krffin , said
Kchraska is looking forward to playing hlU.
"It's a real challenge to play a team with a Steve Pisar
kiewicz and a Curtis Brown and a veteran offensive line
. that make? the offense go," Kiffin said. "Our defense-is
up for the challenge" i - m
y Kiffin said that tailback Brown is the type of football
player than can turn a five-yard run into a 45-yard touch
down. ,
"Vie just have to gang tackle Curtis Brown,"-Kiffin
said. "VVe have to have good pursuit and gang tackling."

liVe just have to put pressure or him and make him
throw early," Fultz '.aid. "Pressure is the name of the
game."
'T..U will be more experienced than KSU, that's for
sure," Fultz said. They won't make as many mistakes as
KSU."
Offensively the Hi Jeers again will be led by senior
quarterback Vince Ferramo. Ferragama was named this
week to United Press iemational's, Backfield of the
Week, ft was the second time this season Ferragamo won

421 yards on 4 carries for about a five yard average this
season. " ' ; .. .

players. -v

fans. I have to concentrate on the game when I'm out
there. -
'Vie were on national TV against them last year and it
didn't have any affect on me." " .
