Broken leg leaves
NU running back’s I
season in limbo
By Darran Fowler
Senior Reporter I
Nebraska running back George
Achola’s season is in limbo.
Achola, who is slated to return in
another three to four weeks after I
breaking his right leg in the Corn
huskcrs’ final
prcscason scrim
mage, said he
will have to prove
himself again.
Achola had
moved up to the
Huskcrs’ third
team I-back be
hind starter Ken
Ac ho la
Clark and backup Lcodis Mowers at
the time of the injury.
Two weeks ago, fellow I-back
Terry Rodgers returned for the first
time since having reconstructive
knee surgery last October. Rodgers
was the projected third-team I-back
coming into the season.
Achola said Rodgers’ return, plus
the presence of Clark and Rowers,
leaves him in limbo. He said he docs
not know where he will fit in when he
returns.
“I’m really not sure,” he said.
“With those guys up there I can’t
" expect to jump right back in there. I’ll
I try to salvage as much of the season as
I can. If I can’t, I’ll have to wail until
the spring season to prove myself
again.
“It’s an uphill bailie.”
Achola said he fell disappointed
when Clark suffered a bruised knee
and left the game in the Huskers’
season opener against Northern Illi
nois. He said he saw that injury as an
opportunity to gel some playing time.
“That broke my heart,” he said.
“It was lough to see that, especially
when I might have got the chance to
gel some experience in.”
Achola, who broke his left leg in
7th grade, said the injury was non
contact, and he knew when it hap
I pened that it was broken.
I He said it was a clean break and
that he had surgery to have screws put
in so the bone would heal faster.
Achola, who now is w alking with
out a cast or brace, said doctors are
unsure how well the bone has healed.
He said that speculation started
the day after the injury, when X-rays
showed the bone had lined up so
straight that it made it difficult to tell
if the bone was still broken.
That has caused doctors to use
caution in deciding when he can re
turn, he said.
When he does return, the 5-11,
195-poundcr from Omaha said he is
not sure how much of an effect the
layoff will have on his conditioning
and speed.
“I really can’t tell right now,” he
said. “I’ve lost a little weight.”
ENTHUSIASM from Page 5
The Aggies’ 12th-man tradition
bound the students and athletes to
gether. Students stood the entire
game. It created pride and bridged the
gap between athlete and non-athlete
at the university.
In a sixth-man situation, students
-- provided they meet the same re
quirements imposed upon the ath
letes and are listed on roster 10 min
m utes before game time -- could shoot
■ a three-pointer or throw up a last
m second shot at the half or end of the
H game, or whatever. *
|1 Such an opportunity would drive
3 the student section wild. Imagine the
■ impact and response. It may even
|| lead to the discovery of some un
I known talent
Right now,. Nee and others are
probably saying that is the most ludi
crous, outrageous thing they have
ever heard. That’s stupid. It wouldn’t
be fair to players. It would rum the
total team concept. Break up the
cohesiveness and teamwork. Make a
mockery of the program or a joke of
the entire game.
. Maybe so.
But, just like the motive and inno
vation for “Dead Dog Alley,’’ it’s
| just an idea.
