With two games left in the regular
season, Nebraska’s football team
may only have to deal with a couple
more adverse situations.
But Nebraska receivers coach Ron
Brown said the Comhuskers have
proved they gain strength from diffi
culties.
Brown, speaking at Monday’s
Extra Point Luncheon at Dillard’s,
said Nebraska’s final two games
against Colorado and Oklaiiofna
won't be any different than its past
games. The Huskers will play Colo
rado Saturday in Lincoln before fac
ing Oklahoma Nov. 19 in Norman,
Okla.
“You never quite know where
kids’ minds are at,” Brown said. “But
I think one of the things that we’re
really proud of the kids for this year is
their character. They’ve bounced
back from some adversities.”
Brown said Nebraska’s offense
and defense have came back from
games when the Huskers didn’t play
well id perform up to their capabili
ties.
7 think the offense
had something to
prove this week
against Iowa State. ’
—Brown
Brown said Saturday was the
Husker offense’s turn to bounce back.
Nebraska, 9-1 overall and 5-0 in the
Big Eight, defeated Iowa State 51-16
behind quarterback Sieve Taylor’s
154 yards rushing and 71 yards pass
ing.
Bui on Oct. 29, Missouri shut out
ihc Huskers in ihc first half before
Nebraska managed to down the Ti
gers 26-18.
“I think the offense had something
to prove this week against Iowa
State,” Brown said.
Brown said Nebraska’s come
back tendencies should help the team
for the season’s last two games.
“The kids don’t stay in the tank too
long,” Brown said. “They bounce
back very quickly. I think it’s a very
important aspect of the team this year,
which I think is going to be a big factor
in some of the upcoming ball games.”
Leading the Huskers through
tough times, Brown said, will be
Taylor. He said Taylor proved he
could have a good game after having
a sub-par performance against Mis
souri.
Taylor, a senior from Fresno,
Calif., was held to minus-38 yards
rushing two weeks ago against Mis
souri. He completed three of nine
passes for 153 yards against the Ti
gers.
Brown said Taylor has been effec
tively running Nebraska’s option
game, especially agamsi uic cy
clones.
“I think probably the biggest factor
of the game was we were able to run
the option game so wellBrown said.
“Steve Taylor probably had his best
game for Nebraska in terms of run
ning the option. He ran it about
flawlessly. He did everything I think
we wanted an option quarterback to
do.”

Despite loss to CSU, women swimmers
performed well, Coach Huppert says
By Lor* Griffin
Staff Reporter
Despite losing a dual to Colorado
State by 14 points Saturday, the
Nebraska women’s swimming and
diving team performed well, Coach
Ray Huppert said.
The meet, which took place at
Colorado State’s Moby Pool in Fort
Collins, Colo., wasn’t decided until
the final event — the 400 freestyle
relay. The Rams led 70-63 entering
the last relay.
The Cornhuskers would have
forced a tie had they won the event,
but Colorado State won the relay in a
lime of 3 minutes, 34.98 seconds and
got the dual’s final points, giving
them the 77-63 win.
Nebraska’s foursome of Lynne
Braddock, Jenny Bauemfcind, Kathy
Barragan and Mindy Malheny fin
ished in third place, behind another
Colorado State team, in the400 frees
tyle relay in 3:40.01.
Huppert said the Huskers’ per
formed well in the final event despite
their 3rd-place finish.
“We had one more chance to tie the
meet,” he said. ‘‘Colorado State had
the meet won except for the last event.
I think that’s a real good attribute of
our kids. They’re not going to give up.
They work to win. It’s disappointing
to lose.
“I think we went in as a decisive
underdog.”
Nebraska trailed by as much as 22
points during the meet.
“We fought to take the meet to the
last relay,” Huppert said. “I’m
pleased with the team. We are build
ing, and that is what we want to do
throughout the rest of the first semes
ter.”
‘We are building,
and that is what
we want to do
throughout the
rest of Hie first
semester.’
— Huppert
Huppert said he was especially
impressed with the performance of
fieshman Kelly Fox, from Albuquer
que, N.M., in the 400 individual
medley. Fox won the event in
4:40.08. Sophomore captain Kristen
Neuenfeldt, from Wayzata, Minn.,
also performed well in winning the
100 and 200 breaststrokes, Huppert
said.
Huppert also said he saw good
efforts from sophomore Jcncll Garcia
and junior Allison Barker in the but
terfly competitions. Garcia, from
Boulder,Colo., won the 200 butterfly
in 2:10.14. Barker, competing in the
100 butterfly event, won in 58.75
seconds.
Nebraska also had a first-place
finish in the one-meter diving compe
tition. Sophomore Amy Aarsen won
the event with a score of 273.10.
In the three-meter diving competi
tion, senior Julie May finished second
behind Colorado Slate’s Ann Grob.
May scored 267.08, while Grab
earned 270.48 points.
Carole Johnson won the 200 back
stroke in 2:13.33 She also finished
2nd in the 100 backstroke with a
1:01.64 clocking.
Colorado State’s Jeannette Beitz
won the 100 backstroke in 1:01.37.
Nebraska’s next meet will be Fri
day at 7 p.m. at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center when the Huskers meet
Southern Illinois.

receivers from practice
By Nick Hodge
Staff Reporter
Nebraska’s top two receivers did
not complete Monday’s practice be
cause of injuries as the Comhuskers
began preparations for this
Saturday’s game against Colorado,
coach Tom Osborne said.
Husker stalling tight end Todd
Millikan, who’s nursing a chronic
hamstring injury, was held out of the
sweat clothes and helmet workout.
Meanwhile, starting splilend Morgan
Gregory suffered a dislocated finger
during a receiving drill and left prac
tice early, Osborne said.
Gregory, a 6-foot, 185-pound,
junior from Denver, Colo., leads
Nebraska with 20 receptions for 239
yards and two touchdowns. Osborne
said Gregory dislocated the pinky
finger on his left hand, but should be
alright for Saturday’s game against
the Buffalos.
Millikan, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound,
senior from Shenandoah, Iowa, has
caught 15 passes for 299 yards and
seven touchdowns so far this season.
One of those scoring receptions was a
6-yardcr from quarterback Steve
Taylor last Saturday in Nebraska’s
51-16 win over Iowa Slate in Ames,
Iowa.
Osborne said Millikan will proba
bly miss a couple more practices this
week, but should also be readv for the
Huskcrs’ season finale in Memorial
