“The good pari is lhal you know a
lot of things they can do as far as their
strengths and weaknesses,” Novak said.
“The bad part is they arc your friend.”
The connections between the two
teams don’t end there. Novak also
knew the Lady Buffs’ Tina Murray
and Jennifer Sherlock from volley
ball camps, and Kohler played club
ball against the Huskcrs’ Eileen Shan
non.
Kohler said she enjoyed playing
Nebraska because it offered the Lady
Buffs a chance to gain experience
against a nationally-ranked team.
Experience is something the Lady
Buffs could use. Coach Brad Saindon
returned to the team two weeks ago
after a two-yjxtr stint with the U.S.
Men’s Olympic Team.
“I think it’s really tough adjusting
to it,” Kohler said. “But I think things
will change in the Big Eight Tourna
ment. Nebraska might be surprised
with how we come out.”

teammates, some of the f reshmen got
their feet wet for the first lime as
college swimmers. Katie Savage was
one of those freshmen.
“It fell good to finally compete on
the college level and I feel like I
achieved my personal best score,”
Savage said. “After 1 accomplished
my first collegc*divc, my fears were
taken away.”
Diving coach Jim Hocking said
that his divers were impressive this
weekend despite their inexperience.
“We have a lot of depth and strong
divers which is impressive consider
ing how young we arc,” Hocking said.
Aarson said the Comhuskcrs got
in more dives than they would in a
regular meet.
“I was pleased with the overall
effort of our team considering we
were diving against our own team
mates,” Aarscn said.
Looking over the results of the
diving meet Hocking said that the
men seem to be stronger on the 3
metcr rather than 1 -meter board.
“Curtis (Croes), Matt (Eastin), John
(Arcaroli) and Curtis (Marti) arc our
top four divers and this weekend they
proved it,” Hocking said.
I he women arc more balanced on
both boards, he said.
“I feel that if the Big Eight diving
(meet) were in two weeks, that we’d
sweep both the women’s boards and
maybe quite possibly sweep the men’s,
too,” he said.
Barrios kicks his way to Nebraska top-10 list
oy raui uomeier
Senior Reporter
Nebraska kicker Gregg Barrios
entered the Comhusker top 10 in career
scoring Saturday with seven points
against Iowa State.
Barrios said he didn’t know about
the accomplishment.
“I just want to concentrate on what
I’m doing right now,” the senior from
Dmaha said. I can look back at the
;nd of the year and see what I’ve
accomplished.”
Barrios picked a lousy day to pass
Rick Berns in the career scoring list.
A strong wind, officially as 15 mph
with 30 mph gusts, blew from the
north to south end zones the entire
I
game.
That caused some problems for
the Huskers, who, for one of the few
times this season, did not have a clear
advantage in the special teams.
“Iowa State is one of the teams
that really work on their kicking game,”
Barrios said.
Nebraska’s Tyrone Hughes, who
entered the game second in the nation
with 36.6 yards a kickoff return, let
kicks bounce past him twice, picking
up the ball once for a three-yard gain,
once for a one-yard loss. On his one
punt return, Hughes was tackled at
the Nebraska 2-yard line after a one
yard gain.
Most troubling for the Huskers,
though, were Jon Schoor’s punts. The

Husker Fran tenBensel passes Kansas State’s Laura
Ostmeyer at Saturday’s Big Eight meet at Pioneers
Park.

Kirby finished fourth in 24:55.6
minutes, 22.2 seconds behind the
winning lime.
“They won with little surges,”
Kirby said.
They look mms leading and shar
ing the workload, Kirby said, while
he was forced to work alone, trying
to keep up.
“Joe had a great race,” Nebraska
coach Jay Dirksen said. “Iowa State
had three guys up there and they
had to work as a team to beat him.
Joe is a big reason why we do so
well as a team.”
Another reason might be David
Iteffa who was the highest placing
freshman in the meet. His llth
place finish was the second highest
lor the Cornhuskers.
“He may be one of the best
freshmen in the history of this
school,” Dirksen said.
The women’s team didn’t fare
as well as expected. Coming into
the meet as the defending champi
ons, Nebraska needed an eighth
place finish by sophomore Fran
lenBcnsel and a ninth-place finish
by Lisa Graham to salvage a fourth
place.
“I’m obviously disappointed
about the women,” Dirksen said.
“We are a better team than we ran
today,and I think the women know
that.”
The women ’ s team i nc I udes one
junior, three sophomores and three
freshmen.
Inexperience hurt the team,
Dirksen said.
The teams run next at the Dis
trict V Championships Nov. 10 at
Springfield, Mo., to determine
qualifiers for the NCAA Champi
onships at Knoxville, Tenn., on
Nov. 19.

said.
Colorado rolled up484 total yards,
362 rushing, against Iowa State Oct.
13, the highest total by a Cyclone
opponent this year — until Saturday.
Nebraska finished with 557 yards on
the ground, 624 total.
“Nebraska’s a little better on of
fense,” Walden said, “but Colorado’s
better than anything they’ve seen so
far.”
Will the Huskers be able to run the
option?
“I guess they will try,” he said
after a long pause. “You won’t be
able to run anything consistently
against Colorado.”
The Buffaloes held Iowa State to
219 yards on 58 plays. The Huskers
gave up 317 on 57 plays.
Nebraska will definitely be tested,
Walden said.
“What they’re fixing to play next
week is not the Sisters of the Poor.
They will finally have somebody that’s
‘Somebody,’” he said. Next week they
will play somebody.”

“Let’s .just say that, if they throw,
it’s just to give their pulling guards a
rest,” Walden smiled.
Weather often plays a role in Big
Eight games, but Walden said he won’t
change his ways.
“I’m not going to the wishbone —
to hell with that,’’ he said. “I don’t
have the athletes to do what they’re
(Nebraska) doing right now. That s
what you run when you have your
pick of the best in the country ... and
have five years to develop them.
“My guys don’t slay here that long
and I don’t gel the hand-picked out of
my state. We just try to keep hope
alive—and hope isulive with the ball
flying around in the air. II we would
have tried to run their offense against
them, we’d be minus-72 yards rush
ing and the score would have been 67
to nothing.”
Iowa State punter averaged 46.8 yards
a kick and had punts returned from or
downed on the Nebraska 1,1,2 and
12 yard lines.
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said
he didn’t think he had ever seen a
team kick with the wind and yet have
the ball roll dead so well.
“I don’t know if (Schoor) is part
Houdini or if maybe he had some
good fortune,” Osborne said. “Proba
bly both.”
With the wind and the kicking
difficulties, Nebraska’s average drive
in the first half began at the Huskcr
17-yard line, while the Cyclones started
on average at their 38.
Barrios also had some problems,
though not because of the wind. On
his first extra point attempt, his right
foot slipped when he tried to plant it
tor the kick. He skidded to the ground
and chipped the ball between the goal
posts.
“I was lucky to get it through,” he
said.
In the third quarter, Barrios made
an extra point, but Nebraska was called
for illegal procedure. On the second
attempt, the kick was blocked.
That was Barrios’ second miss in
122 attempts. Later in the game, Barrios
added extra point No. 121 in 123
career attempts.
With 21 career field goals, includ
ing a 37-yarder into the wind Satur
day, Barrios has 184 points. Bcms, a
Huskcr back from 1976-78, had 180
points. The next man for Barrios to
pass is back Keith Jones, who scored
188 points from 1982-87.
