The Nebraska football team has had
iKa nat fpw years; Its kirk-
i prOUIvi" ",v r " "
jng game has not lived up to expectations.
Now hope is being pinned on rresh
Un Chris Drennan.
( Drennan, from Cypress, Calif., is the
oHHitinn to the field goal kick-
Inn corps. Last Saturday against New
Mexico, Drennan made the Buskers'
(econd 'field goal of the year.
"That has to be my greatest thrill,
Drennan said. "It's hard to match kick
inu in front of 76,000 people."

'school, turned down scholarship offers
from I'CLA, Columbia and Air Force.
Drennan said the main factors in his
decision to come to UNL were Husker
Coach Tom Osborne, the weight room
'and Ursula Walsh's work with aca
demics. For most freshman, the adjustment
to college is a hard one. Drennan said
he has the same adjustment problems
as other freshmen.
"The weather here is hard to get
used to," Drennan said. "I'm not used
to such windy weather. The tempera
ture here is also a lot colder."
Before getting here, Drennan said
his goal was to kick for the varsity this
year. When he arrived on campus, he
changed his mind.
"Once I got here, reality set in," he
said. "There are so many quality kickers
here I realized it would be harder than
I expected."
Drennan said he is kicking the best
he has all season. However, he said he
needs to work on consistency on his
kickoffs.
Right now, Drennan is working with
the varsity. However, he said that he is
only there on a day-to-day basis, and he
doesn't know if he will go to Oklahoma
State this weekend.
"I'm real happy with the way I've
been kicking right now " Drennan said.
"(The varsity coaches) also have me
punting."
Drennan said his goal for the rest of
the season is to keep improving. He
said he doesn't believe that he will be
on the varsity the rest of the year.
"I just want to contribute as much as
possible." Drennan said.

Predictor wins.
makes
critics vanish
I don't quite know how I did it, but it seems
that I have managed to silence all of my once
abundant critics.
Criticism was plentiful when I was defeated
by Nebraska basketball coach Moe Iba's predic
tions early this season, but I haven't heard a
single word since I defeated Bob Frank last
week,
cP )

Jeff Apel
Frank, who all year had been a prime source of
my criticisms, posted only a 2-2 record. I demol
ished him with a 3-1 mark in games against him
and a 20-5 mark overall.
The key game, which brought me the victory
over Frank, was Florida's 20-0 rout of LSU. Frank
picked LSU, while I took the Gators. We both
missed on Illinois' 31-28 upset victory over Ohio
State, and I also missed on Arizona's 28-6 victory
over SMU, Kentucky's 28-7 win over Clemson,
Drake's 20-17 laugher over Iowa State and Geor
gia Tech's 31:0 drubbing of North Carolina.
For the year, I'm 59-22 for a 73 percent win
ning percentage.
With all my success, it's beginning to get
easier and easier to find a guest columnist. I had
several offers this week, including a letter from
Dave Edwards, president of the Nebraska Asso
ciation of Residence Halls, and a call from a man
in Texas who claimed to have a trained gorilla
who could pick games.
I wrote this gentleman's phone number down
and almost let him and his gorilla be the guest
predictors, but decided instead to bring my
mom's cat out of its seemingly dead state and
make it do the work.
Nebraska 28, Oklahoma State 27 at
Stillwater, Okla.
The only advice I have for all of you gamblers
out there is to stay away from this game. Okla
homa State hasn't beat Nebraska since the early
1960s, and I don't think they will do it here.
My mom's cat completely disagrees with me,
saying the Cowboys will win by a 16-point
margin.
Oklahoma 31, Texas 16 at Dallas.
The cat's pick was the Sooners by a narrow
four-point margin. 1 agree, but I think Oklahoma
will continue its quest for the national cham
pionship by defeating Texas rather easily.
Florida State 31, Auburn 20 at Auburn,
Ala. .
This is a first in a series of games in which the
cat and I disagree on. The cat jumped all over
Auburn in this one, although I think the Semi
noles will be too much for a badly overrated
Auburn squad.
Alabama 28, Penn State 20 at University
Station, Penn.
Have you ever wondered what Joe Paterno is
trying to hid e by we aring those black glasses? No
matter how high (or red-eyed) Paterno and the
rest of his Nittany Lion squad are, they won't be
able to beat a respectable Alabama squad even if
the cat does pick Penn State by six.
Florida 29, Tennessee 17 at Coral
Gables, Fla.
The Volunteers will wish they wouldn't have
chosen to play this one after the highly priced
Florida squad gets through with them. Tennes
see squeaked by a weak Wake Forest squad last
week, and I-don't think it can pull off another
upset like it did over Auburn. The cat, however,
picked Tennessee by eight.
Other Scores:
Virginia 28, Clemson 17; Georgia Tech 35,

Forest 9; Colorado 21, Missouri 7 (this one seals
Woody's fate); Kansas 45, Iowa State 6 (Apel's
best bet); Illinois 31, Purdue 20; Ohio State 24,.
