Page 8 Monday, November 18, 1985 Daily Nebraskan ones, Huskers By Mike Reilley Senior Reporter When Nebraska I-back Keith Jones hobbled a kickoff in the third quarter of the Cornhuskers' 56-6 win over Kan sas Saturday, he knew he had better do something quickly or risk a tongue lashing from his coach. "The first thing I thought about when I dropped it is that I had better make up for it because (running back coach Frank) Solich was going to be on my back." Jones made up for his miscue when he picked up the ball at the Nebraska 2-yard line, ran to his left and outraced the Jayhawks' coverage down the side line for a 98-yard touchdown. That, score gave the Huskers a 47-6 lead. Two Jayhawk defenders had an angle on him near midfield, but Jones used his 4.33 speed in the 40-yard dash to get past them. "I thought I had better sprint to the end zone," he said. As he jogged to the sidelines after the score, Jones received congratula tions from his teammates, but he said Solich's reaction was delayed. "He just glared at me," Jones said, Dropped 95-68 decision to Sooners Czechs will test Huskers, Iba says By Jeff Apel Staff Reporter Nebraska coach Moe Iba may get a taste of just how tough basketball in the Big Eight conference is going to be this year when the Cornhuskers host the Bratislava Club in an exhibition game tonight at the Bob Devaney Sports Center. Iba said he expects a tough game from the Czechoslovakian team largely because of their European style of bas ketball. For instance, he said, the Czechs have a unique shooting form and an abundance of skip passes. "I just watched them on film and they are a very disciplined team," Iba said. "They have got two big post men who could give us problems just because of their height." So far this season, the Czech squad it aH; ""Afe?-. v-t &.-. french fries, and a medisiia drink ' Munford out for season With about 10 minutes remaining in the second quarter of Nebraska's 56-6 win over Kansas Saturday, Corn husker linebacker Marc Munford stopped KU running back Arnold Fields after a 13-yard gain. But Munford, a junior from Lit tleton, Colo., didn't get up after the tackle. He was helped off the field by trainers and was taken to the Huskers' locker room to examine damage to his right knee. Munford LiTered ligament dam age and underwent arthroscopic "but he finally broke a smile and con gratulated me." Jones, a sophomore, has played spar ingly behind junior I-back Doug DuBose and senior Paul Miles this season. He said he doesn't mind coming off the bench and he likes to take advantage of an opportunity when he does get to play just like he did Saturday. Jones' third quarter touchdown was has played one future Husker opponent the Oklahoma Sooners. Although the Czechs dropped a 95 68 decision to the Sooners, Iba said the European squad still concerns him. "They play some excellent basket ball," he said. "One of the positive things we will get out of this game is we will be able to tell how we compare to Oklahoma at this time once we look at the films." Iba said he plans to start Brian Carr and Harvey Marshall at the guard posi tions and Dave Hoppen at center. The two forwards may not be named until right before the game, Iba said. "The forward position may be a place where we rotate our starters all season long because of the depth we have there this year," Iba said. "That is one thing we have much of on this year's team that we had last year-depth." psnny ins (Gfe Yow choice flfoir crfy $1.9 Good daily 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. and noon - 8 p.m. Sunday. - TV Hamburger, french Cries, and a medium drink V M'cci fit rebound for surgery Sunday morning. Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said Munford will miss the rest of the season and will possibly miss spring practice. Although no replacement has been named yet, Nebraska defensive co ordinator Charlie McBride said he plans to give freshman linebacker LeRoy Etienne more varsity work-4& practice this week. "If we can zero him in on the wishbone, he's the kind of guy who can play against Oklahoma," McBride said. the Huskers' first kickoff returned for a touchdown in four years. Mike Rozier returned one 93 yards against Okla homa State in 1981. Several other Huskers set personal and team highs against the Jayhawks, including: O Dale Klein, whose 32-yard field goal tied the score at 3-3 early in the game. The kick gave Klein 13 field Iba said he will try and accomplish several things during the game includ ing evaluating all 12 players. He said he is anxious to see how his team per forms in a game, an element which was missing in last Wednesday's intrasquad scrimmage. "This game will show us a lot more than the Red-White game did just because we are playing an opponent other than ourselves," he said. "You can only play against each other for so long before it starts to lose its effective ness." The Huskers also will have the op portunity to smooth out any rough spots in their game, Iba said. With the official season opener just five days away, Iba said extra practice is critical.

That pushed his sea son total to 852 yards, the most ever by a Husker fullback. Defensive tackle Jim Skow, who sacked quarterback Mike Norseth in the first quarter for his 40th career tackle for a loss, a Nebraska record. Skow's sack was one of eight the Huskers had for the day. Eight players had sacks. Norseth said he was impressed by the Huskers' pass rush. "A lot of times I wasn't ready to throw the ball," he said. "They had a good rush, but regardless, we still have to execute. There were times when I was hurried, Hi Fcfon't think that was the case all the time." Kansas coach MiKe Gottfried agreed with Norseth. He said the Jayhawks couldn't capitalize on forced turnovers. For example, after Paul Miles fumbled the opening kickoff, the Jay hawks failed to move the ball and had to settle for a field goal, Gottfried said. He said the Jayhawks' offense, defense and kicking game was lacking. "It was just a complete cave in," he said. "We just didn't do anything righC more complete team we have to improve in all areas of our game," he said. "How we progress in the next couple of weeks is definitely going to have a major impact on how we do this season." Iba said Wade Jenkins, a 6-6 forward from Chicago, has chosen to attend Tulsa instead of Nebraska. Jenkins, who currently attends Carver High School in Chicago, was the only player Nebraska offered a basketball scholarship to during the NCAA's early signing period. "I wasn't really surprised when I heard that he had chosen Tulsa because he was an excellent player and we knew the competiton was stiff," Iba said.

Nebraska's win, coupled with Okla homa's 31-0 victory against Colorado sets up a showdown between the Big Eight rivals next week in Norman, Okla.

Kick off is 2:30 p.m. Nebraska defensive coordinator Charlie McBride said the Huskers' de fense may need a little extra help to stop Oklahoma's powerful wishbone offense. "We. plan to go to church starting Monday and pray a lot," McBride said. "If you don't stop the big play against Oklahoma they'll just eat you alive."
