Linebacker coach says defense grew, matured in ASU win
Nebraska linebacker coach Kevin
Steele says theCornhusker defense
“grew and matured” Saturday night
in the 18-9 win at No. 24 Arizona
State.
Steele told those attending
Monday’s Extra Point Club lunch
eon that the Husker defenders “made
things happen.”
“We created turnovers. We
knocked the ball loose for five
fumbles and there appeared to be
two other times that were not ruled
fumbles. We’ve gotten better on
defense as the games go on, he
said. \
Steele said one specific person,
“without naming names, was the
source of Nebraska’s kicking prob
lems against ASU.
“We know where it came from,
and we’ll get it worked out. But I
tell you, tyou want to sec emotion
from the head coach,” he said of
the normally calm and collected
Coach Tom Osborne, “I saw emo
tion from the head coach.”
Big 8 roundup . , „ . .
Coach trying to forget upset
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) —
Oklahoma coach Gary Gibbs would
just as soon forget last year’s upset
loss against Iowa State.
“We obviously have memories, but
the circumstances are much differ
ent,” Gibbs said Monday during the
Big Eight’s teleconference with league
coaches. “Last year’s game is not
going to play a part in the outcome.”
The unbeaten Sooners, who moved
up one notch to No. 5 in The Associ
ated Press poll this week, travel to
Iowa State on Saturday in the Big
Eight’s season-opening game.
TheCyclones surprised Oklahoma
33-31 in Norman last year, ending a
28-gamc winless string against the
Sooners.
Big Eight defensive player of the
week Darnell Walker epitomizes what
Oklahoma football is all about, Iowa
State Coach Jim Walden said.
“It’s the same old story with Okla
homa,” Walden said. “They have a
bunch of great athletes. Once you get
used to seeing Oklahoma athletes,
you know dam well what you’re going
to see.
“It’ll take a great effort to make
thisan interesting game. I’m not look
ing at the Big Eight to make me
excited. It makes me nervous. More
like suffocating.”
Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones
may be gagging in another sense. The
winless Cowboys will travel to Mi
ami, Fla., to take on the second-ranked
Hurricanes.
“Miami’s got a very good game
plan, a consistent plan,” Jones said.
“We tried to work on the things foot
ball teams have to work on. We threw
in some things for the Miami stuff.”
Miami hasn’t lost to a Big Eight
team since 1978, and the Cowboys
were lambasted 50-7 at Florida last
season.
Taking a pounding took on a new
meaning in Kansas State’s 56-3 loss
at No. 3 Washington over the week
end..
“They’re as good a team as I’ve
ever been associated with,” Kansas
State coach Bill Snyder said. “You
learn you’d like to have that many
skilled athletes. We have to address
fundamentals and improve on mis
takes.”
The Wildcats (3-1) have a week
off before hosting state rival Kansas.
The Jayhawks (3-0), meanwhile,
had a week off to think about last
year’s 59-10 pasting at the hands of
Virginia — Saturday’s opponent.
“We had a firsthand look (last year)
and I really didn’t like what I saw,”
Kansas Coach Glen Mason said. “I
don’t think they are as good as they
were last year, but they were on the
verge of being named the No. 1 team
in the country then. I’m not sure if we
performed well, we would have won
the game or not.”
Missouri (1-1-1) neither won nor
lost on Saturday. The Tigers tied
Indiana27-27 on a disputed two-point
conversion with 24 seconds left Coach
Bob Stull said the Indiana game is
history.
“At one point, we thought we had
pretty good control when it was 19
7,” Stull said. “By the same count, we
were pretty happy with the tie.”
Memphis State (2-2) comes to
Columbia on Saturday on the heels of
its 24-10 season-opening upset vic
tory at USC.
“Memphis State does a lot of dif
ferent things,” Stull said. “They like
to run the option, they have two good
tailbacks and they’ll give you a lot of
play-action passes.”
Colorado fell to No. 25 after a 28
21 loss at Stanford. Coach Bill Mc
Cartney said he expects quarterback
Darian Hagan to play against Mis
souri Oct. 12 after he stretched a knee
ligament. The Buffs are off this week.
McCartney said his team is just
tired.
“Our kids don’ t want to adm i t they
wore us down,” he said.

Continued from Page 7
ning of the year, ii is hard to set up a
schedule with several big-time oppo
nents. If Osborne could mix the sched
ule up and play more Washingtons in
between Kansas Slate and Iowa State,
he just may do it.
Thirdly, with more games on tele
vision, more money and exposure
would be generated. High school
players across the country would
continue to dream of coming to Ne
braska, and the Huskers would have
the kind of money to keep up with the
good teams.
It would also send the Huskers
back to what college athletics is all
about: competition and team unity.
Because Nebraska wins at least
nine games a year, Husker fans al
ways think the team is going to win
the national championship.
By playing in the Big 10, the
Huskers would have just as good a
shot at winning it all, but a loss wouldn’t
be so devastating because of the number
-of tough games on the schedule. Fans
would accept losses much easier
knowing the Huskers gave it every
thing they had, if “everything” came
against deccntopponentsevery week.
Then the players could go back to
playing for themselves and not wor
rying about some guy named Jed.
Of course, there arc those who say,
“No way, lets play the easy teams in
an easier conference, win the Okla
homa game and play for the whole
ball of wax.”
For all those people, I have one
question: When is the last time that
happened?
The Huskers couldn’t even do it
with a 1983 team that many said
could have won games in the Na
tional Football League.
Why not play a tougher schedule,
go 10-2 or 9-3, but have several wins
over Top-25 opponents?
I realize Nebraska inquired into
the possibility of joining the Big 10
and they didn’t want to expand for a
few more years. The folks over at the
athletic department arc trying.
But why not go independent right
now, and set up the schedule so they
have a head start when the Big 10
docs decide to add another team?
Then, the Huskers wouldn’t go
into shock when they play Illinois,
UCLA, Iowa and Tennessee all in
row.
But it is only a dream.
And for all the Jed Bamickel’s in *
towns like Colon; Wake up!
