Aggies look forward
to game vs. Nebraska
By Cindy Gardner
The New Mexico State Aggies are viewing Saturday's
game against Nebraska as a positive experience despite
the fact that the Huskers are heavily favored to win.
"It's a great honor for us to play Nebraska," Aggie
Coach Gil Krueger said Monday. "It's always an honor
to play one of the top three teams in the country."
New Mexico State comes to Nebraska 0-2 on the
season after losses to Texas-El Paso and Indiana State.
Even Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne warns that the
Aggies' record could be deceptive.
"The 0-2 record is a little misleading," Osborne said
after Tuesday's practice. "They should be at least 1-1
and maybe 2-0."
The Aggies lost their first game of the season to border
rival University of Texas-El Paso, 20-17. The Miners won
the game on a closing-seconds field goal.
Indiana State defeated the Aggies 14-10 last Saturday
after New Mexico State lead 10-0 for the first three
quarters.
"We dropped a few passes that would have won those
ball games," Krueger said. "We thought we played well,
particularly on defense."
The New Mexico State defense is led by linebacker
Leo Barker and a strong pair of ends, Brian Nance and
Fred Young. NMSU Sports Information Director Kirk
Hendrix told the Extra Point Club in Lincoln Monday
that the goal of the Aggie defense will be "holding down
the Husker attack somewhat."
Defensively, Krueger said New Mexico State would
spend the week preparing for the offensive sets Nebraska
used against Iowa, including the weak-set.'

Nebraska junior varsity defensive tackle Kevin Blackmer (93) bats down a Mark Thomsen (11) pass in last week's
28-14 Husker win against Ellsworth Junior College in Memorial Stadium. The Huskers will go for win No. 2 Friday
against Northern Iowa at 1 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Solich wants improved passing
By Jeff Goodwin
Improving the passing game will be one of the priorities
for Nebraska's junior varsity football team in Friday's
game against the Northern Iowa junior varsity, UNL
Coach Frank Solich said.
Solich, noting that Nebraska completed only three of
12 passes in last week's game against Ellsworth College,
said, "We were very inconsistent with our passing game.
We've got to improve on that. I think we're capable of
throwing the ball much better than we did against
Ellsworth."
Solich said quarterback Pernell Gatson, who started
last week's game, also will start against Northern Iowa.
"He put a lot of pressure on himself," Solich said. "He's
capable of playing better, but considering it was his first
game he didn't play badly
Solich said quarterback Pernell Gatson, who started
last week's game, also will start against Northern fowa.
"He put a lot of pressure on himself," Solich said. "He's
capable of playing better, but considering it was his first
game he didn't play badly."
Solich said Don Douglas, who saw some action at
quarterback last week, also will get some playing time.
"Don will definitely play, probably in the first half,"
Solich said.
Solich said the Husker coaching staff is in the dark
about Northern Iowa.
"We really don't know much about them," Solich
said. This is their first game of the year. About all we
have to go on are some films of their team last year."
"Our preparations have been going pretty good,"
he said. "The rain made the grass a little damp and that
slowed things down a little, but overall practices have
been good."
Solich said he was pleased with the performance
of the defense in last week's game.
"I thought defensively we played pretty solid,"
Solich said. "We pretty much controlled the game on
defense."
Solich said defensive tackles Jim Skow and Kevin
Blackmer and nose guard Phil Rodgers stood out on
defense.
Solich said the Huskers will substitute freely on
defense.
"There'll be a lot of kids who see action," he said.
"We feel that we've got pretty good depth on defense.
"We don't have any injuries that will keep anyone
out of the game," he said. "Thurman Hoskins missed
some practice because he was out with the flu but he
should be ready by Friday."
Kickoff for Friday's game against the Panthers is at
1 p.m. in Memorial Stadium.
Fans in the student sections aren't all students
It's just one of those thines that makes vou wonder.
Just who goes to Cornhusker football games?
Those of you who said people who wear red can move
to the front of the class, but that's not the complete
answer.
Every year Nebraska sells out all the available tickets
and the game attendance figures show the seats are always
full. It seems to add up, except for one thing. A lot of
students who bought tickets aren't going to the games.
Bill
Allen
But if students, aren't going, who is? It states plainly
on the back of every season pass that "this ticket may be
confiscated and admission refused if presented by
someone other than student. . .whose name appears on
the face."
Sure, it's common knowledge that students sell or give
away their tickets, but what good does it do the person
who receives it? Theoretically, they still can't get into
the game.
But then, theoretically, a bumblebee weighs too much
to fly. It doesn't know tlm, so it flies anyway.
It's a good thing people don't base their knowledge of
what the average UNL student is like on the student
section of the stadium.
Otherwise they might think the average UNL student
chews bubble gum, wears rock concert T-shirts and talks
about a junior high dance.
Or they might think the average student goes to a
football game dressed in a three piece suit, drinks
highballs out of a thermos and talks business with the
man next to him.
It's not true by any means, but sometimes you get the
impression that the only people not in the student section
are students.
There was an ad in the Daily Nebraskan the other day
in which a female student asked the person who bought
her ticket and didn't return it at the appointed time and
place to bring it back to her.
What did she expect? She obviously trusted the person
to bring it back without having the foresight to procure
his drivers license or a credit card, or anyting for
collateral. I wish banks were so trusting. I could borrow
$100,000, promise to bring it back tomorrow and write
my next column from somewhere in South America.
Would you want a man who would do this to a student
sitting next to you at a football game? Would you want
this kind of person sitting next to you in a prison cell?
Would you want this kind of person. . .never mind, you
get the point.
Let's examine another aspect. What kind of student
would sell their ticket anyway?
If you answered a starving student, you can move to
the front of the class again, unless of course, you didn't
move to the front of the class in the first place, then it
would just be you can move to the front of the class,
without the again added. If you understood that, you can
leave early.
The fact is, a great number of students sell their foot
ball pass every week. This is probably all a profit motive.
A $36 ticket can turn into a scalper's paradise and even
tually return about $120 on the investment. Not
bad. An $84 dollar profit spread out over the entire
football season could buy a lot of books or pay a lot of
bar tabs.
It would be interesting, for just one game, if the people
with student tickets not belonging to them were turned
away at the gate and the tickets confiscated,
That game might be another 76,000 sellout for Ne
braska football, but would that really matter if there
weren't so many people in the stands?
It's not something easily answered, but it's one of
those things that makes you wonder.
