Osborne says lie's
unaware of steroid use
By The Associated Press
Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne
said Sunday he was not aware Dean
Steinkuhier or any other former Corn
husker players were using steroids
during their college football careers.
Steinkuhier admitted in the Jan. 5
issue of Sports Illustrated that he used
steroids during his junior and senior
seasons at Nebraska.
Steinkuhier, who now plays for the
Houston Oilers of the National Football
League, also was quoted in the article
as saying that he thought Osborne
knew some players were using steroids.
"I'd like to make it very clear that I
was not aware that Dean Steinkuhier or
any other players were using steroids,"
Osborne said Friday. "I was aware that
there's always a possibility but I did
not know of any specific players.
"I just want to make sure the people
of the state understand our position,"
Osborne said. "We have not used them
and we have not encouraged using

them. We're not turning our heads
we sure wouldn't do that."
Osborne said there were rumors of
steroid use at Nebraska beginning in
1976 and 1977 and continuing into the
early 1980s.
"All we had to go on was rumors,"
Osborne said. "I heard rumors about
two or three players, and I took them
aside and in every case they denied it.
There was nothing I could do.
"We had no technology at the time
and we had no proof," Osborne said.
"In 1984 we started testing and we
tested all the guys at the time we were
suspicious of, and in 1985 we did the
same thing. Neither time did we find
any positive testing. Last year we had
one positive test in August, a reserve
redshirt offensive lineman."
In addition to drug testing, Osborne
said, Nebraska athletic officials have
counseled players about steroids and
street drugs and have brought in
medical experts to speak to the players
about drugs.
Husker team
rings in win
in overtime
By Tim Hartmann
Senior Reporter
Members of Nebraska's women's
basketball team wore homemade conference-championship
rings Sunday
morning to symbolize how they hope to
fare in Big Eight Conference play this
season. They took the first step toward
achieving their goal of being Big Eight
champs Sunday night by defeating
Kansas 81-78 in overtime at the Bob
Devaney Sports Center.
The game was a see-saw battle that
included 17 lead changes and eight
ties. The Cornhuskers were paced by
the play of sophomore Amy Stephens,
who has 23 points and 10 rebounds and
junior Maurtice Ivy, who had 20 points
and 12 boards.
But it was the play of Stephanie
Bolli, a 5-10 junior forward from Bur
well, that pleased Nebraska coach
Angela Beck. Bolli had 12 points,
including two crucial three-point plays.
With 1:03 left in the game, Nebraska
trailed the Lady Jayhawks 68-67. Bolli
rebounded a missed shot by Ivy, hit a
layup and was fouled by Lisa Braddy.
Bolli made the free throw to give the
Huskers a 70-68 lead.
Kansas was able to tie the game
70-70. With 36 seconds remaining on a
basket by forward Sandy Shaw. Ne
braska then attempted to stall for the
last shot but lost the ball when it
bounced off Stephen's leg and rolled
out of bounds with nine seconds left. A
last-second shot by Shaw bounced off
the rim and the game went into overtime.
The Lady Jayhawks scored the first
two points of the overtime period.
Beck said she was pleased with the
play of the Nebraska bench, especially
by Bolli.
"Bolli has got to be the best sixth
man in the league," Beck said. "She is
like the unsung hero of our team."
In the first half of the game Nebraska
grabbed an early lead and held it until
the 14:00 mark, when successive fast
break baskets by Braddy gave Kansas a
22-19 advantage.
Kansas increased its lead to nine
points twice in the first half before
Nebraska battled back and tied the
game at 36 with 2:14 remaining.
Baskets by Stephens, Bolli and Ivy
offset five Kansas points and gave the
Huskers a 42-41 halftime lead.
In the second half Nebraska built up
a seven-point lead with 7:45 left in the
game, but the Lady Jayhawks cut into
the lead, eventually tying the game 59
59 a minute later.
In the next five minutes Kansas
gained a one-point advantage, 68-67,
setting the stage for Bolli's three-point
play and Shaw's basket that sent the
game into overtime.
The victory raised Nebraska's record
to 8-6 overall and 1-0 in the Big Eight.
Kansas, led by Jackie Martin's, 19
points, dropped to 7-8 overall and 0-1 in
the Big Eight.
Nebraska's next game is Wednesday
night at Kansas State.
