the news that Nate Turner would not
play,” Osborne said. “He’s practic
ing well, running fair speed. They’re
just a little concerned about the strength
of his shoulder and I’m sure he’ll
probably play next week.”
Osborne said the injury situation
also could hamper the final decision
at starting quarterback.
“I think right now both players
have had a pretty good look,” Osborne
said. “If Mike can play this week ...
then we’re kind of on track. If Mike
can’t play then we probably want to
start Mike against Oregon State.”
“I’d like to have both of them to
have had a good look by the time we
start the Big Eight race.”
Grant and Joseph shared the top
spot throughout fall camp, leaving
the Cornhuskers with two starters at
quarterback.

ATLANTA (AP) - Kal Daniels
doubled home two runs and scored
two, as the Los Angeles Dodgers
defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-2 Tucs
day night.
Daniels doubled in the first inning
to score Lenny Harris and Stan Javier,
both of whom singled off Braves rookie
Paul Marak (0-2).
Daniels took third on a single by
Eddie Murray, who had three hits for
the second straight game, and scored
on a sacrifice fly by Hubic Brooks.
Rookie Jim Neidltngcr (5-1) stopped
the Braves on a run and four hits,
including Jeff Blauscr’s sixth-inning
homer. Neidlingcr left for a pinch
hitter after seven innings.

Bui they didn’t. While said he is
thankful they believed in him and
urging him to stay in school.
“The coaches have been very
supportive,’’ he said. “They’ve been
very fair and if they weren’t fair, I
don’t think I’d be here today.”
This fall, White, a former I-back,
is playing wingback to help solidify
the position following the injury to
Nate Turner, who broke his collar
bone the second day of practice.
“I like it, especially getting to
catch,” White said. “I’m still learn
ing it. Flaying I-back all your life, all
you do is run the ball. At wingback,
you have to do a lot of blocking,
which isn’t easy. But I’m picking it
up day by day.”

looked sluggish in the Hurricanes’
loss to B YU, but could easily redeem
himself by beating Notre Dame in
South Bend, Ind.
While Erickson is football’s most
underrated, Virginia’s Moore may well
be the game’s most overlooked. Moore
led the Cavaliers to their first-ever
win over Clcmson earlier this year,
and put up huge numbers last week
end as Virginia stopped Navy 56-14.
Virginia faces a less-than-rigorous
schedule the rest of the way, and
Moore can “statistic” himself into
serious Heisman contention.
But beside the “Four Aces”,other
young quarterbacks arc making them
selves known as clutch performers.
Take Notre Dame’s Rick Mirer.
Starting his first varsity game against
Michigan, Mirer faced a 10-point
White has adjusted well to playing
wingback, but still needs to learn
control.
“Lamont’s a tough kid, he blocks
well,” Brown said. “This is a tough
position. They have to run a lot and
block a lot.
“He’s learned it pretty well. He
just has to work on composure in
game situations. He plays with a great
deal of excitement. Now, he’s got to
learn to relax in some situations.”
The football field is not the only
place that White has gained experi
ence. After being arrested in the
summer of 1989, White has learned
other lessons far from the field.
“It was something I never should
have been around,” White said of the
incident leading to his arrest. “Ev
eryone makes a mistake. For me, it
was being around the wrong person.
You’ve got to keep yourself out of
those situations.”
fourth-quarter deficit. All he did was
lead the Fighting Irish back with two
touchdowns, including a game-win
ning pass with less than two minutes
left.
Then there’s Illinois quarterback
Jason Vcrduz.co. He brought the I Mini
from two touchdowns down to win
23-22 against a vaunted Colorado
defense. Last year, No. 1 draft pick
Jeff George could only muster 10
(joints on the Buffaloes.
And we’re not even mentioning
guys like Colorado’s Darian Hagan,
Tennessee’s Andy Kelly and Michi

age quarterbacks who would be Hcis

So sit back and enjoy. Air Show

Iowa St., Oklahoma St. weathering storms
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - It’s
limes like this when Iowa Slate coach
Jim Walden wishes college football
had a waiver wire.
Unlike a coach in the NFL,
Walden’s going to have to make the
best with what’s left in the wake of
injuries to his quarterback and star
running back.
Chris Pedersen had passed and
rushed for a combined 336 yards, the
seventh-best record in Iowa State
history, when he suffered a knee in
jury near the end of Iowa State’s loss
at Minnesota Saturday. Blaise Bryant,
the fourth-leading rusher in the coun
try last year, also suffered a deep
shoulder bruise.
Pedersen will be out in about four
weeks and Bryant in at least two,
Walden said Monday during the Big
Eight coaches’ teleconference.
“It’s not good news for a strug
gling football team to lose its two best
football players,” Walden said. “I
looked at the waiver list this morn
ing.”
Without a waiver wire, however,
Walden decided to go with freshman
quarterback Bob Utter and sopho
more running back Sherman Williams
in the emergency.
“We’re high on both of them,”
Walden said. “I’ve got no problem
with that. Wc think they’ve got a
bright future here, but wc didn’t plan
on the future being the third week of
this season.”
Singing a happier quarterback tunc
is Oklahoma State’s Pal Jones. Earl
Wheeler, who missed all spring prac
tice and much of the pre-fall drills,
made his first start last week against
Northern Iowa and looked very prom
ising.
“Earl gives us a chance with his
arm,” Jones said. “If we can just
keep from misfiring every now and
then, we’re making progress. He’s
still trying to catch up, though. You
take a player out of spring practice
and part of the prescason, and he’s
missed his share of repetitions. It’s
not going to help.”
This week finds the Cowboys play
ing Texas Christian University, a big
game in more ways than one.
“We’ve got a lot of youngsters
from that part of the country and
they’re looking forward to going down
there to play,” Jones said. “We’ve
got 18 kids who are going to travel
with us who arc from the Dallas-Fort
Worth area. Any lime we play in the
state of Texas it’s important from a
recruiting standpoint/’
Recruiting the fertile Lone Star
State also will be on Bill McCart
ney’s mind this week, but uppermost
will be the need for a victory. Colo
rado’s loss to Illinois Saturday leaves
the Buffs 1-1-1 heading into their
match with the University of Texas.
“It’s very sobering around here
right now,” McCartney said.
His team is learning something
they should have expected, he said:
The defending Big Eight champions
seem to bring out the best in every
opponent.
Staying on top can be as tough as
getting there.
“People arc not playing us as
conventionally as they have in the
past, McCartney said. “We’ve tried
to embark on throwing the ball more,
and we’re having trouble with that.
As far as difficulty of staying at the
top, people arc shooting for you. And
w'c’vc played a particularly difficult
schedule anyway. That was an aroused
Illinois team with a strong partisan
following.”
After clobbering nationally ranked
teams in UCLA and and Pittsburgh,
Oklahoma has what figures to be a
“breather” Saturday in the Univer
sity of Tulsa. Without a doubt, Tulsa
coaches will spend the week trying to
devise a way to stop a crunching
Oklahoma ground game which had
three players rush for more than 100
yards Saturday against Pittsburgh. The
one-two punch of fullbacks Kenyon
Rashccd and Mike McKinley has been
particularly effective.
“We knew going into the season
that we had two good fullbacks,”
said Oklahoma Coach Gary Gibbs.
We don’t have just a go-to guy
offensively. We’ve got to spread it
around. The strength of our team are
our fullbacks. We vc got to establish
the inside running game.”
