Wrestlers hoping to defeat Sooners again
By Chuck (Ireen
Senior Reporter
Last season, the Nebraska wres
tling team defeated Oklahoma for the
first time in 36 years.
Now.Comhuskcr wrestling coach
Tim Neumann said he hopes a new
36-year losing streak against the
Sooners isn’t about to begin.
“Last year’s win was a great one,”
Neumann said. “We definitely need
to pull together this weekend, espe
cially since we’ve only been on eight
cylinders once this year.
“It’s definitely been testing our
character,’’ he said.
Oklahoma. No. 13 in the latest
Amateur Wrestling News coaches’
poll, is 9-8-1 this season. The Soon
ers will join Northern Illinois in the
triangular meet with the Huskers.
Nebraska defeated Oklahoma 25
lb last season.
“If everybody is healthy, which I
anticipate, we match up with Okla
homa really well,” Neumann said.
“Almost every match is too close to
call, so it will be a real exciting dual.”
The Huskers meet the Sooners at 5
p.m. Saturday at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center. They will face North
ern Illinois albp.rn. The Sooners will
wrestle Northern Illinois at 7 p.m.
Neumann said the Sooners have
suffered numerous injuries this sea
son, and Northern Illinois has “a lot
of freshmen and sophomores in their
lineup.”
“They’re not real experienced,”
he said of Northern Illinois.
One of the top matches against
Oklahoma will be in the 150-pound
weight class, where Nebraska’s
Keenan Turner, who has been ranked
as high as ninth this season, will
wrestle the Sooners’ No. 10-ranked
William Taylor.
Taylor originally signed with
Nebraska in 1983, when he qualified
for the NCAA Championships at 142
as a freshman. Taylor moved to 150
the next season — the same year
Turner became a Huskcr.
“William beat Keenan out for the
spot, but that was a long time ago,”
Neumann said. “William was dis
missed from the team during the
second semester, and Keenan went
on to be named the natiorod freshman
of the year at 150 ”
Neumann said it is important for
the Huskers to perform well this
weekend to regain their confidence
after last weekend’s 18-13 loss to No.
20-ranked Missouri. Three of
Nebraska’s starters were absent at
last week’s dual.
“We were fairly happy with the
team we put out there,” Neumann
said. “In about seven of the 10
matches, they performed about as
well as they should have. We just
wrestled with a sub-par lineup
against Missouri.”
Neumann said he was disap

pointed with some aspects of this
year’s team, but that several of
Nebraska’s problems this season
stemmed from injuries and other
factors, such as not upsetting any top

In August, Neumann said he
thought the Huskers had a good
chanec of finishing among the
nation’s top three teams this season.
