Nebraska offensive line coach Cletus
Fischer is having to undergo a major
reconstruction project in replacing all
five starting offensive linemen from
last year's 10-2 team. .
But the transition has gone smoothly
as Fischer has found five "solid" start
ing candidates for this year's line.
They'll replace all-Big Eight linemen
Mark Traynowicz and Mark Behning.
"We'll have a respectable line this
season, even with all the new people
we will have playing," Fischer, who
enters his 27th season as the Corn
husker's offensive line coach said.
"We've got a lot of individual talent
that will just have to mold together."
Heading the field of starting candi
dates is 6-6, 275 pound Bill Lewis and
junior Stan Parker.
Lewis, a center, and Parker, a right
guard, are both described by Fischer as '
the most likely candidates to succeed
Traynowicz and Behning as the next
great offensive linemen for the Huskers.
"Lewis has got a big position to fill
but he has tremendous size and strength
to go along with his aggressive, quick
style of play," Fischer said. "Parker
might not have the physical stats that
Lewis does, but he still has great
ability with his quickness."
The remaining starting candidates
include Tim Roth at left tackle, Brian
Blankenship at left guard and Tom
Welter at right tackles.
In addition, junior Todd Carpenter
could see considerable playing time at
right tackle.-
"We've got a good group of offensive
linemen that played well in the spring
against our defense," Fischer said.
"The interior of our line could be pretty
good and the tackles played better
than I thought they would in the
spring, so I feel pretty confident."
Fischer will spend the next five
weeks going over some of the "basics" j- i nnnnVj

don't expect them to," Fischer said. If
they do, we'll just have to make a few
adjustments which hopefully won t be
too much of a problem."

Nebraska kickers' coach Cletus
Fischer said he hopes he can go with
one field goal kicker the entire 1985
season. The past two seasons the
Huskers have had to change kickers
midway through each season.
In 1983, Dave Schneider opened the
season as the Huskers' No. 1 kicker
only to be replaced by Scott Livingston
as the season progressed. In 1984,
Livingston opened the season as both
punter and kicker, but gave up his
kicking duties to concentrate on punt
ing. Sophomore Dale Klein finished the
season as Nebraska's kicker.
"We hope to find somebody that can
stay in that No. 1 position and not have
to alternate a great deal," Fischer said.
"When we are winning by a lot, then
sure we will alternate, but we do not
like to alternate kickers."
At the end of spring practices, Klein
retained his No. 1 position. Senior Dan
Wingard finished behind Klein.
Klein, 6-1, 190, converted 26 of 28
extra point attempts, but only managed
four of eight field goal tries last season.
His longest was 38 yards, missing three
beyond 40 yards. Wingard, 6-1, 200
senior, did not place kick last year.
Fischer said the No. 1 kicker will
handle kickoffs, extra point and field
goals.
And although the kickers have ex
perience returning, the punting is a
whole different situation. Livingston
graduated after handling all the punt
ing chores last season. He punted 49
times for a 41.2 average and Fischer
considered Livingston's punting one of
the strong points of the last year's
team.
At the end of spring drills Wingard
had earned the punting job. As fall
practices begin, he will be challenged
by sophomore Craig Schnitzler and
sophomore John Kroeker.
Last season, Wingard only punted
once. Schnitzler, 5-8, 215, comes off a
redshirt season. He is currently listed
as the No. 2 punter.
Kroeker, 6-0, 180, broke the freshman
punting record while kicking for the
frosh last season. Kroeker completed
the season witn 40.9 average eclipsing
the mark of 40.1 set by Bill Bombefger
in 1966.
"We had a reasonably good spring in
kicking and punting," Fischer said.
"We need to work on consistency on
field goals and extra points."
