"I think the intensity has picked up some," said Harris, now in his second year as a starting corner back. "We know well have to play our best because we're playing one of the best this week." Sundberg, who will start his third game at quarterback, said the Husker offense can't turn the ball over and be successful against UCLA Nebraska lost four fumbles in Saturday's 38-7 win against Minnesota. ' "Everybody realizes we need to play better," Sundberg said. "As long as we keep turning the ball over, we're just going to be stop ping ourselves. If we play well, we can move the ball against any body." Harris said UCLA hasn't played up to its potential in close wins over San Diego State and Long Beach State. The Bruins may have been looking ahead to Nebraska, he said. "I think theyVe been shooting for us," he said. "I was a little surprised at their first two games because of the athletes theyVe got." Harris said he thinks defense will be the key to beating the Bruins. "It doesn't matter what our offense does," he said. "As long as we play sound defense, we'll be right there when it counts." UCLA's offense runs the ball more this year, and Harris said he expects the Bruins to test Nebra ska early on the ground. But he said the Bruins can also pass, and will have to if Nebraska stops the rushing game. Harris said he's J I J1 if a if m, YJ Ll a II II .11 1 By Steve Horey THE COLLEGES' : .

The matches will be Nebraska's first competition this fall. Last year, while the Huskers were aim ing for their highest finish in the conference ever, the sophomore dominated squad beat Kansas State 9-0 and dropped Iowa State 8-1. "I think all three of our teams are stronger, but we have goals of defeating them in a similar mat ter this year," said Kathy Haw kins, the team's coach.
