Quarterback issue plagues Osborne once again
By Cindy Gardner
The quarterback question that plagued Nebraska foot
ball Coach Tom Osborne earlier this season has cropped
up again.
Saturday 3I-? victory against Iowa State and the
claiming of the Big Eight crown turned out to be the silver
cloud with a dark lining. Starting quarterback Turner Gill
underwent minor surgery early Sunday morning after
suffering a calf injury in the game. Gill remained on
crutches. Tuesday and hs been ruled out for the Oklahoma
game.
GilTs absence left the Husker coaching staff with a
shortage at the signal-calling position. Senior Mark Mauer
will start against the Sooners, and Bruce Mathison will
back him up. Osborne however was unsure what to do
about a third quarterback.
Sophomore Craig Sundberg who had planned to use
this as a redshirt season will not make the trip to Okla
Land of
I called my therapist today to tell him the nightmares
aren't as bad this year. I got his answering service.
Tin sorry Dr. Jinx is in Miami. He's decided to take a
vacation during the sTump.""
For the first time since 1971 Dr. Jinx is losing business
and I'm not losing sleep. Looking back, I think last year
was the worst. I still remember tossing and turning on
those November nights, i had no way to escape the re
curring dream.
O
It was always the same. I would be awakened by some
unseen charge, beads of cool sweat falling from my fore
head. After a moment of disorientation, I would realize I
was in my own room and safe in my own bed. With a sight
of both dred and relief, I would sink slowly back into my
pillow. Hours-that-passed-in-moments later I would find
myself back in the land of deR-giR-oG.
Standing in line observing the red-clad creatures around
me I clutched the rectangular piece of paper. 1 had just
sold my soul and promised my first bora to obtain the
sacred pass that would allow me to enter the temple.
Guard grabs, temple pass.
At the gate, the temple guards took my passu He looked!
at it and then afi me. I blushed as I realized 1 was wearing
my crimson and cream pajamas - a gift from my grand
mother in Oklahoma. The guard mumbled and let me
enter the temple.
Inside the temple, thousands of deR-giB-oGoids scur
ried about. Some stood yelling incoherent phrases while
displaying unusual, apparently useless wares. Other deR-giB-oGids
paid high prices for such wares which lead me
to believe they were objects of sacrifice.
At the north end of the temple stood a large message
communication device which periodically flashed the
words of the god. 1 read these messages with confusion

homa Osborne said after Tuesday's practice.
"We really didn't want to waste his (Sundberg's) red
shirt year" Osborne said.
Freshman Travis Turner will travel to Oklahoma in the
No. 3 spot. Osborne said Turner was selected over junior
varsity starter Todd Zart because he has had fewer prob
lems taking the snap.
"Todd certainly has as much ability as Travis,'
Osborne said.. "One of the main things we need down
there (at Oklahoma) is consistency and the ability to not
rumble the snap and to hand it off. We feel that Travis has
done a little better job there.'''
On the other side of the line of scrimmage the Ne
braska Blackshirts have been preparing to face a wishbone
offense for the second time this season.
Oklahoma quarterback Darrell Shepard has had some
success rushing this season but Osborne said his ground
gain depends on how a team chooses to defense the wish
bone.. He added that the quarterback has several oppor-
until the ritual began.
The forces of good entered from the southwest. I knew
they were good because the crwwdi praised them. I hid be
hind my full-color ritual guide not wanting to see what
would happen when the Hons entered the arena. After
some time I realized there were no lions but instead
creatures called boomersooners..
Sacrificaf objects thrown
Periodically throughout the ritual, sacrifical objects
were released into the air and others were thrown into the
arena. One struck a priest and stained his zebra-skin shirt.
As I watched the congregation present its offerings. I
realized the people of deR-giB-oG were not human at all.
They were beasts who. alternated rapidly between
moments of elation and moments of rage.
The people of deR-giB-oG remained in the temple for
many hours. While the ritual continued they shouted both
curses and praises, toward the glass shrine in the west..
"DevaneyT Devaney!" they chanted as if pleading for
some powerful force of the past to return.
In the arena it appeared not to matter what the forces
of good did. The boomersooners were blessed by a power
they called Switzer. This power allowed them to move
forward when they should have moved back, and to reach
the goal no matter what the odds.
As the ritual drew to ai close, the communication
device flashed messages at a ftenzied pace. The citizens of
deR-gi&oG stood: on their seats and lifted: their fists. A
few began to tear the red garments from their bodies as if
they were in mourning. The words "oak la home a were
spoken with contempt throughout the temple.
I would be awakened again to find myself clutching
my Husker football press guide and "Go Big Red" banner.
I would live in fear until the Saturday when my dream
would inevitably come true.
But this year. Dr. Jinx is in Miami and I'm packing my
bags for Switzer-land. The force of Oklahoma says "Welt
win because we always win," but Barry's blessings have
run out. In my pleasant dreams this year the message com
munication device flashes; Nebraska 21, Oklahoma 17.

tunities to run in the Sooner offense.
"The halfbacks in the wishbone are sometimes not
getting the ball very much. It's a fullback-quarterback
offense. They're not getting the- ball pitched very much,'
Osborne said. .
Osborne said that when Oklahoma first began using the
wishbone, it was hard to know how to defense.
"They just ran up and down the field because everyone
was a man short on the option. They had no idea how to
play them," Osborne said. "People now have gotten more
sophisticated in the kind of defense they use."
