'Elder statesman 'likes status, offers experience
By Tad Stryker
Scott Woodard doesn't mind his teammates kidding
him about how long he's been around. He can get along
without having the extra talent that some other players
enjoy. It doesn't even bother him that he's not starting,
and never has. (Well, not too much, anyway.) Woodard
said he's satisfied to simply be a part of the Nebraska
team.
Woodard, in his fifth year at UNI, is the "elder states
man" of Husker receivers. He goes back to the 1978 Okla
homa game to recall his greatest moment as a Husker. His
teammates call him "Father Time."
'They give me a hard time," he said. "We kid around
and stuff like that; we have a lot of fun."
In the everyday give-and-take between teammates,
Woodard has something valuable to offer: his experience.
"My experience has helped me a lot this year," he said.
"I don't have the speed that Todd Brown does, or some of
the other skills. I did learn a lot from (former Huskers)
Kenny Brown, Tim Smith and those guys, though, and
that's something I can pass on to the younger receiver's."
Since he graduated from Papillion High School and
walked oh in 1977, Woodard has seen a lot, but he rated
the Huskers long-awaited 17-14 win against the Sooners in
1978 as his favorite game..
Tim Smith got hurt in the first half" the two-time let
terman recalled, "so Frank Lockett and I played the sec
ond half.
"It was so intense out there, and so loud, I couldn't be
lieve it. The fan noise was incredible on every play," he
said. "I didn't catch any passes, just did a lot of blocking,
but IH never forget just being a part of it."
Being a part of it means a lot to Woodard.
"I'm just happy to be playing," he said. "I think alter
nating with Todd, bringing in the plays from the sidelines,
gives us both just about the right amount of playing time."
At this time last year, Woodard wasn't playing at all.
He dislocated his shoulder playing in the season opener
against Utah, missed the rest of the year and received a
hardship ruling from the NCAA.
"The redshirt year was good for me," he said. "I had
just come off knee surgery the January before the (1980)
season started and I didn't have my speed back. I used all
last season to get in shape again and get things squared
away.'
Now that things are under control, Woodard said he is
enjoying his role and concentrating on the things he can
do to help the team.
Osborne: Rogan loss won't hurt team

The status of third team I-back Dennis Rogan was un
certain at Tuesday's football practice. The 5-10, 189
pound Rogan has not attended practice this week. Coach
Tom Osborne said he hasn't talked to the Colorado
Springs, Colo, native.
ttI imagine he's retired but I just dont know for sure,"
Osborne said. "His dad is in town and he thinks he's a
Heisman trophy candidate and better than Roger (Craig).
I don't think our program is going to collapse due to the
loss of one player." '
Osborne said Tuesday's practice went well. He said
everyone played well and there was good concentration.
As far as injuries are concerned, Osborne said the sit
uation is not too severe. Henry Waechter was expected to
practice Wednesday and Osborne said he was hopeful that
he would be able to start on Saturday. The left corner-
back spot is still a toss-up between Allen Lyday and Ric
Lindquist. Lindquist is coming off an injury.
"It depends on whether or not Ric has complete
mobility," Osborne said. "Lyday has played very well."
One player who won't see action Saturday is Steve
McWhirter. The junior linebacker had cartilege removed
from his injured knee on Tuesday. Osborne said he didn't
expect McWhirter back for at least two weeks.
Turning toward Penn State, Osborne said he saw a
difficult challenge. Osborne expressed particular concern
over the fact that this Penn State team is considered to be
the fastest they've ever had.
"Paterno thinks he has his best offensive team ever,"
Osborne said. "Their defense is good as well. They also
have a very good kicking game. Todd Blackledge is a fine
quarterback."

Women golfers prepare to defend title
By Mary Sue Hergert
The women's golf team will try to defend its title at
the Iowa State Invitational Sept 24 to 26 in Ames, Iowa.
There are 12 teams playing in the tournament,
UNL Coach Gerald Fisher said it will be difficult to
beat Oklahoma this year.
"I think we can do it, but everyone would have to shoot
in under 80 and one girl would have to shoot under 75,
but that is totally feasible," he said.
"The team we have this year is probably the best team
that Nebraska has ever had. Last year we had competition
for the spots on the team, but this year we have even
more competition," Fisher said.
Fisher said this was good because, "It makes the team
work harder and be more competitive. This kind of thing
improves a girl's game."

Haying No. 1 for the team will be Jan Stanard, a junior
from Aurora. Fisher said Stanard has played the best and
been the most consistenf player for the team so far.
RobuvScherer, a senior from West Point, will play No. 2.
Cathy Nelson, a sophomore from Omaha will play No. 3.
Sophomore Kim Davis of Lincoln, will play No. 4, and
Carin Roberts, a junior from Dallas, Texas, will play the
five spot,
Fisher said he is encouraged with the play of Davis.
This is her first year on the team because die was red
shirted last year with a knee injury.
"Kim is playing good, she is shooting 73s and 74s dur
ing qualifying, and we just have not seen those kind of
qualifying scores before," Fisher said.
The team finished 17th out of 20 last week in the Susie
Maxwell Bering All-College Tournament in Oklahoma City.
