Davis copies McBride's technique

career with the now-defunct United Suites
Football League's Boston Breakers.
Davis started a roofing business alter
retiring from football. He then became the
offensive coordinator at Brandon High
School in Brandon, Fla., the largest high
school in the United States at that time. He
arrived at Nebraska during the fall of 1986.
Davis, who is working on his master’s
degree in physical education, said he has
en joyed his coaching career at Nebraska so
lar. He said he particularly enjoys watching
his defensive linemen learn Nebraska’s de
fensive techniques.
“I like watching kids improve over time,”
he said. ‘Over time, and after repetition after
repetition after repetition, you start seeing
results — just small things that combine to
make the whole picture. Then, to sec the
look in their eyes wb n itall comes together,
that's fun.
“That’s what it’s all about.”
Davis said his main objective is to pre
pare his defensive linemen for varsity foot
ball.
“1 want them to be able to step in this
spring and have the adjustment be not so
severe, to where »he players can handle it,”
Davis said. “My coaching technique is ex
actly what (varsity defensive coordinator)
coach (Charlie) McBride teaches. I want
them to know what he expects of them."
Bell benefits from Huskers weightlifting
BELL from Page 6
Bell has hail to wait his turn because the Huskers had two-year
letter winners Dana Brinson, Hendlcy Hawkins and Von Sheppard
returning this year.
However, Sheppard suffered a career-ending injury against
South C arolina, and Bell became the third string wingback.
“We re so talented at that position that he hasn't played a lot,”
Brown said. But he has been very efficient with the time he has
gotten. He will be playing a lot more.”
Brown said Nebraska has used the run-and-shoot offensive
formation more this year because the Huskers have so many good
wingbacks.
“We wanted to get all of our talent out on the field,” Brown said.
Bell said it is unusual that he has played so much because he is
the third wingback. He said he has been happy with his play “for the
most part.”
“I’ve worked hard and I’m getting it done,” Bell said. “How
ever, there’s always room for improvement.”
Bell said it isn't tough for him to get up for a game with a team
like Kansas State because, “I treat every game the same.”
“I just go out there on the field and try to get every play done
right, just like practice,” Bell said. “It’s not tough to get psyched for
a game when you’re playing in front of 76.000 fans.”
Bell redshirted in 1986, and he said that year helped him
mentally.
“However, I'd rather have been out there playing,” Bell said.
“Flaying against the No. 3 or 4 defense in the nation helps out,
though.”
