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
