I Aggies’ coach doesn’t expect win By Mike Kluck Staff Reporter The nickname of Nebraska’s foot ball opponent may be the same but the teams will be different The 2nd-rankcd Comhuskcrs de feated the Texas A&M Aggies, 23-14 last Saturday in its season opening game in the Kickoff Classic at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The Aggies were ranked No. 6 in the United Press International poll and 10th in the Associated Press poll. | PREVIEW The Huskcrs face the unranked Utah State Aggies Saturday in their 1988 home opener. Utah State coach Chuck Shelton said his Aggies won’t have as much talent as Nebraska or as Texas A&M, but also that they won’t be scared to play the Comhuskers. “I don’t want to sound like I am i saying we are going to come in and beat Nebraska, but I do believe our this season, Shelton said. “Were still young on defense,” Shelton said. “Offensively, we should be better, but we want to work on our running game.” The strength of Utah State’s of fense this year will be returning senior quarterback Brent Snyder. Snyder, a transfer from Diablo Valley College in Calif., threw for 2,887 yards last season to set a new Utah State record. He threw over 300 yards in four con secutive games last year. Snyder’s top receiver will be sen ior Kendal Smith. Smith had 67 re ceptions last season for 1,048 yards and seven touchdowns, while finish ing 7th in the nation in receiving and 14th in rushing. Snyder will also be looking to junior flanker Patrick Newman. Newman graduated from Lincoln High School in San Diego, Calif., where he was a teammate of Nebraska quarterback Steve Taylor. “Our quarterback last year took 43 hits and still got up from every one to set a school record,” Shelton said. “Snyder has had an excellent fall and I feel he’s the best he’s ever been. He has a lot of stock and a lot of ability on the field.” Shelton said the Aggies will con tinue to throw the ball this year but sophomores and one junior. Shelton said the Aggies won’t concentrate on defending Nebraska quarterback Taylor alone. “Steve Taylor may be the best quarterback in the country, but when you play Nebraska you have to defendl the entire offense,” Shelton said. “Nebraska is Nebraska. They will have small subtle changes but they aren’t going to change. We are going to try to defend against their offense and try to attack their offense.” Shelton said that if Utah State loses to Nebraska it will still help the Aggie football program through recruit ment. He said the Aggies’ chance to play a nationally ranked opponent and have an opportunity in the na tional limelight is a good recruiting tactic. 7 don’t want to sound like I’m saying we are going to come in and beat Nebraska, but I do believe our kids will come in and play their hearts out. ’ —Shelton I kids will come in and play their hearts out,” Shelton said. “We will not be intimidated by them.” Shelton said the Aggies are look ing to Saturday’s season opener to find out where they left off from last ! fall. Utah State finished last season with a 5-6 record, by winning five of its final six games after starting the season 0-5. Although llie Aggies have 23 re turning lettermen, including 12 start ers, Utah Stale will still be youthful will also try to establish a running game. “We want to upgrade our running program, so we have better ball con trol when we have the ball,” Shelton said. “We had 23 touchdowns through the air last season while scor ing only two on the ground.” Louie Aguiar, who was ranked 14th in the nation with an average of 42.6 yards per punt last year, returns as the Aggies leading punter. On defense, Utah State has four returning starters: including three STUDENT HELP | NEEDED UNL HOUSING I needs emolovees to work I I 10-15 hours weekly Jobs available are: WEEKEND CUSTODIAL FOOD SERVICE MAINTENANCE To apply, please fill out an application at the HOUSING OFFICE 1100 Seaton Hall \wili' 1MM I1HMHM ¥ 1 I-“ * --—— The Computing Resource Center is offering free microcomputers semi nars to UNL faculty, staff, and students.
