The Huskers' center has been picked for stardom Rut
past pre-season selections make Tom Davis wary of the
honor,
As a pre-season ail-American candidate, Davis remem
bers last year and its disappointments, in pre-season polls
last year, the Huskers were picked number one in the
nation, Nebraska finished ninth in the Associated Press
final ratings.
"In a way, I want to live up to being an All American,"
the senior Omaha native said. "But some guy just decided
to pick me. It would mean a lot more to me if I was All
American after the season."
"I kind of snuck up on all the nose guards last year,"
Davis said. "But this year, all the nose-guards will be ready
for me especially if they know I'm a possible All Ameri
can.
'It is something like last year for the-team. Evervbodv
was ready for us," Davis said, referring to the Husker's
opening game tie (6-6) to Louisiana" State University.
Technique helpful
Davis played behind former Husker all-American
center, Rik Bonness for two years. Davis said the techni
que Bonncss used has helped him.
"Rik was a small center (210 pounds), so he had to use
technique," said Davis who is six feet three inches and
weighs 238 pounds. "With my size, I combine the tech
nique I have learned and the muscle that I have."
Joining Davis in the Husker offensive line will be left
guard Greg Jorgensen, another pre-season All American.
"Hopefully, 111 be able to achieve the all-American
status," said . Jorgensen, who is from Minden. "But I'm
not going to let it affect my performance."
Jorgensen and Davis said this year's offensive line will
be quicker and stronger. Offensive line coach Clete
Fischer agrees.
"Hopefully, well be quicker and stronger, but you're
never sure until we play our first game," Fischer said.
Depth charts set v
The depth charts for the offensive tackles, guards and
center have been set for the first game. But Fischer
warned that relaxation by starters could mean a change.
The, charts list Kelvin Clark, six feet four inches,
250 pounds from Odessa, Texas as first string left tackle.
Junior Steve Lindquist, six feet six inches, 250 pounds
from Minneapolis, Minn., at right guard. Stan Waldemore,
a senior from Belleville, N.J. who stands 6 feet 4'inches
and weights 260 pounds, is the right tackle. .
Despite the loss of All Big 8 tackles Steve Hoins and'
Bob Lingenfelter, Jorgensen and Davis say this year may;
be' the Husker's best.
"Well be blocking better for the run than in past
years". Jdrgensen said, Davis said fans will see 50 per
cent running and 50 per cent passing from the Huskers.
Consistency important .
"Well be stronger in our running game than in the last
few years," Davis said, adding that consistency is impor
tant. "Last year against Colorado, the offensive line was
unbelievable, but the next week we were really flat."
With consistency as a goal for the offensive line, Jor
gensen and Davis said the team goal is the Big 8 Cham
pionship. "It won't be easy, but we feel we can win it," Jorgen
sen said. "Naturally, if we win the Big 8, well be high in
the national rankings."
Time ticks on as Husker's first game approaches
By Rob Barney
He wants more time, but UNL head
football coach Tom Osborne has run out of
time. His Huskers take the field Saturday
against the Washington State Cougars for
the opening game.
"Every coach in the nation says he
could use another week or another two
days to get ready," Osborne said. "But
with the amount of time we've had, we're
as ready as we'll ever be."
The Huskers went through their final
scrimmage Saturday in preparation for the
Cougars.
"The scrimmage went pretty well. The
defense looked better than they have,"
Osborne added. "The offense had the big
play but they lacked some consistency."
t
I-Back I.M. Hipp recorded the biggest
play of the day, scampering 67 yaHs for
the scrimmages second score.
Hipp also was the leading rusher for the
day with 123 yards on 14 carries. He fin
ished just ahead of sophomore I-Back Tim
Wurth, who gained 108 yards on 10
attempts.
. With his performance, Wurth probably
will not be red-shirted this year. .
Wurth might red shirt
"There is a possibility Tim could be
red shirted," Osborne said. "But he is run
ning third string now (behind Rick Berns
and Hipp) and you need three or four I
Backs for a season because they take a
beating."
Three year letter winner Monte An
thony is another red shirt possibility, Os
borne said.
"He seems to be doing better, but he
still has a ways to go to catch up," Osborne
said. "He missed a lot of practice and we're

doing some different things so he's a little
behind."
Osborne said the senior from Bellevue is
third or fourth string at I-Back and full
back. And if he does not move up, he may
be redshirted.
Defensive tackle Barney Cotton is the
only first stringer that is questionable for
-the first game,'.' Osborne said.
Red shirt quarterback Brad Humphrey
was the only serious casualty of the scrim
. mage, suffering a. shoulder separation.
Garcia starts
Senior Randy Garcia won the battle for
the starting spot against WSU, beating out
junior Tom Sorley.
"Randy will start, but Tom will play
too. Tom played well in practice. He
knows the offense and is a good leader,"
Osborne said. .
A spy was reported . at the Husker
scrimmage, but Osborne said he was not
worried about it.
"It was probably some fan who didn't
have a pass. I really don't think there was a
spy," he said.
Washington Stats does not need -a
spy. Former Husker secondary coach War
ren Powers has nine coaches on his Cougar
staff that have Nebraska ties.
Osborne expects to see some Nebraska
flavor from WSU Saturday.
"Defensively, they run basically the
same defense we run. Offensively, they run
the veer with split backs, which is nothing
similar to ours," he said.
' Many persons think the Huskers'
second game with the University of Ala
bama will be their biggest test, but Osborne
said WSU will test UNL.
Hopeful victory
"I'm not worried about how bad we
beat them, I just hope that we beat them," ,
Osborne said.
"They have 20 starters and both kickers
returning. In contrast, we have 10 starters
returning. I talked with Jackie Sherrijl
(WSU's head coach last season) last winter
and he thinks they will be as good as any
team in the Big 8 this season with the
.possible exception of the top two or three
teams," he said. "He thinks WSU can win
seven or eight games." .
, , WSU had the leading passer and receiver
in the Pacific 8 Conference last season in
Jack Thompson and Mike Levenseller,
, respectively.
"Coach Powers has been quoted as
saying Thompson is a tetter passer than
Ferragamo, Humm and Tagge and a better
runner, too, so he can't be too bad," Os
borne said.
"He also has said his . defensive
secondary is better than any he had while
at Nebraska." v ;
Osborne said WSU's leading rusher last
season, Dan Doornick, has been replaced in.
