Husker victory over Colorado was ‘no surprise’ to Osborne By Nick Hodge Staff Reporter A tough v ictory against Colorado did not surprise Nebraska coach Tom Osborne. Osborne said Sunday that Nebraska’s 7-0 victory against Colo rado Saturday at Memorial Stadium was a hard-fought battle. “I thought it’d be close and it was,” Osborne said. Osborne said he didn t think there would be an offensive explosion Sat urday because of the quality of the two teams’ defenses. Osborne said the kicking game and turnovers are always critical aspects of football games, especially close ones. Nebraska senior punier John kroeker outkicked Colorado’s Keith English. English entered the game as the Big Eight’s punter with a 45.7 \ard average, while Kroeker aver aged 41.4. Kroeker averaged 44.4 yards a punt in eight attempts Saturday, while English countered with a 41-yard average on seven punts. Osborne said because field posi tion played such a crucial role against Colorado, Kroeker’s punts were sig nificant when the 35 mph windgusts were considered. "John had a great game, particu larly with the wind factor,” Osborne said. All three of the game’s turnovers came as a result of nine fumbles. The Huskcrs had two turnovers, while Husker wrestlers round up success at Cowboy open R\ Mike Kluck St all Reporter Nebraska’s success at Saturday’s Cowboy Open, in Laramie, Wyo., was evident in the championship round of the tournament, said Corn husker wrestling coach Tim Neu mann. Neumann said the Huskers had 10 wrestlers qualify for the champion ship round, one in every class, and seven were named champions. The most qualifiers any of the 23 other teams had in the finals was three. Nebraska placed all its wrestlers in the lop four. “During the championship round it was like a dual between us and all the western teams,” Neumann said. “They had us at one end of the arena anti all the other teams at the other end.” Nebraska’s champions included senior Terry Cook in the 118-pound competition, sophomore Jason Kelhcrat 126, senior Mike Hemannat 134, sophomore Laync Billings at 150, senior Jeff Coltvet at 158, sopho more Scott Chcnowcih at 177 and senior Joe Molacck at heavyweight. All seven wrestlers improved their record to 5-0 at the tournament except lor Molacck, who is 4-0. Neumann said he was pleased with tlie performance of freshmen Darren Drocgemueller, Corey Olson and senior Cody Olson, who all finished as runners-up. Drocgemueller won his first four matches by pins before losing in the finals to Dave Zuniga of Utah State. Olson lost in the finals to two-time national champion Chuck Pipfer. . Olson performed well, Neumann said, even though he was wrestling at a higher weight. Olson wrestled in the pound class because Chris Nel son broke his neck in a car accident. The Huskers accomplished Neumann’s goal of qualifying 10 wrestlers in the final. Neumann said although the Husk ers were impressive in their opening tournament, they have to improve bclorc facing Big Eight competition. 1 he Huskers face Missouri in a dual meet Thursday in Columbia, Mo. "I was a little concerned because we were technically incorrect in a few places and it needs to be fixed real soon,” Neumann said. “We have to improve technically." Neumann said 167-pound Shane Snyder injured his knee and will miss the dual with Missouri. Colorado had one. Although it wasn't a turnover, one of Colorado’s six fumbles came when Butlalo halfback J. J. Flannigan dropped the ball in the open field en route to an apparent 43-yard touch down run during the second quarter. He recovered the ball at the Husker 19-yard line, but the Husker defense prevented Colorado from scoring. Osborne said he wasn't sure what happened on Flannigan s run. "I don t know why he did it, but I’m glad he did.” he said. One of Nebraska's fumbles came alter a 25-yard run by quarterback Steve Taylor at Colorado’s 3-yard line with 13:55 remaining in the game. Osborne said he believes that po tential scoring opportunity could have given the Huskers a comfortable lead. Osborne said the close game kept the fans more involved in the game. “I really appreciated their enthusi asm and support,” he said. “I think it was one of the best crowds as far as being enthusiastic.” Nebraska will face a typical Okla homa Sooner football game next Sat urday at Norman, Okla., Osborne said. Oklahoma defeated Missouri 16-7 Saturday in Columbia, Mo., to set up the Huskers’ show down with the Sooners. Osborne said Oklahoma has an excellent team. “It will be a tough game — I think everyone knows that,” he said.
