Coach says
unity, kicking
key to win
By Chuck Green
Senior Editor _
A unified team attitude and
an improved kicking game are
the two things Nebraska football
coach Tom Osborne is hoping for
Saturday when the Comhuskers
face UCLA.
During his weekly media lun
cheon Tuesday, Osborne said the
Huskers need to play more con
sistently and concentrate on
playing better opponent than
they faced last Saturday. He said
he thought that moving the Utah
State game to the week before
the UCLA game was beneficial to
Nebraska.
“Hopefully, we won’t make as
many mistakes this week as we
did last week,’’ Osborne said.
“You always hope you can iron
some bugs out in the first game."
~ Osborne said he thought the
players had a difficult time get
ting motivated for Utah State
because they didn’t expect a dif
ficult game with the Aggies.
“A lot of players were tense
and you wouldn’t think they would
be against Utah State,” he said.
“Some players that hadn’t started
hpfnrp wprp nrettv nervous, but
then you had guys who have
started before, who played against
Oklahoma and LSU last year, and
they weren’t too excited about
playing Utah State.
"Hopefully, we’ll have a more
unified team attitude against
UCLA, and that will be beneficial
to us," he said.
Osborne said the team
shouldn’t have any problem get
ting motivated for this week’s
game because of the Bruins’ high
rating. UCLA was rated No. 3
behind Oklahoma and Nebraska
in this week’s United Press Inter
national coaches’ poll.
"I believe this is the most tal
ented (UCLA) team we’ll have
faced since I’ve been head coach
here," Osborne said. ‘They've
got great players, great coaches
and it should be an outstanding
ball game."
Osborne said that UCLA throws
more on the average than
Nebraska, but "if they have trou
ble moving the ball, I’m sure
they’ll throw a little more," he
said.
‘They’re about like us in that
they do whatever it takes to
win,” Osborne said.
Nebraska’s kicking game,
Osborne said, had both good and
bad points, the bad coming in
punting. He said he hopes that
will improve this week.
"John Kroeker’s punts weren’t
too spectacular against Utah
State, but they will get better,"
Osborne said. "Yesterday (Mon
day) in practice, six of the seven
punts he kicked during the kick
ing drills went about 70 yards in
the air, so 1 know he has the
ability."
Another problem Nebraska
faces heading into the UCLA
game is that of injuries, particu
larly at the tight end spot, Os
borne said. Todd Millikan believes
he’ll be ready to play after suffer
ing a sprained foot against Utah
State, Osborne said. But second
team tight end Tom Banderas,
with a knee iqjuiy is question
able, he said. If Banderas does
play this Saturday, he may be
only at half-speed, Osborne said.
"In terms of front-line players,
that’s about it," Osborne said.
"Barring any difficulties in prac
tice during the week, we'U be
relatively healthy going into the
UCLA game."
Sophomore I-back Teny Rod
gers will be out for two to throe
weeks with a strained knee,
Osborne said, and may rodshirt
this year.
Osborne said one advantage
Nebraska has this week is that
information on the Bruins will be
more readily available.
