Nebraska’s Trev Alberts (34) fights for a fumble with Middle Tennessee State tailback Walter
Dunson. Two members of Nebraska’s defense — Mike Anderson and David White — are doubtful
for this Saturday’s game against Washington.
Husker injuries leave questions
hrom start Heports
The Comhusker defense may be
shorihandcd for Saturday’s football
game against Washington.
Both inside linebacker Mike
Anderson and outside linebacker
David White were held out of practice
Thursday.
Coach Tom Osborne said he was
unsure whether White and Anderson
would make the trip to Seattle.
Anderson injured his knee in
Wednesday’s practice. While’s shin
injury on Wednesday was more seri
ous than first thought.
“Anderson’s better, but he is still
questionable for Saturday’s game,”
Osborne said.
Coaches and trainers will test
Anderson today to see if he can run
and make the trip.
“If he can run, we’ll take him,”
Osborne said.
White’s injury was first thought to
be shin splints or a bruise.
“He’s as doubtful as Anderson right
now .’’Osborne said. “He was not able
iu uu aiiyunug luuajf.
Backup quarterback Tommie
Frazier left Thursday’s practice with
an injured pectoral muscle, but he was
able to return to drills at the end of
practice.
Osborne said he wasn’t sure how
serious the injury was, but he was
hopeful that Frazier would make the
trip to Seattle.
Strong safely Ernie Bclcr, suffer
ing from an ankle injury, is much
improved, Osborne said.
“Hopefully, he’ll be ready for next
week.”
Huskers

said Washington’s blitzing would
have to be slopped by the Husker
offense.
“They do a lot of bl i tzing from a lot
of areas and 1 think our offensive
line’s check calls and our backs pick
ing up guys from the outside will be
the key to the game,” Grant said.
And is Nebraska ready to lake on
the No. 2 team in college football?
Yes, Grant said.
“I know that we arc prepared to
play the game,” he said. ‘‘We’re con
fident in our abilities and in what we
can do. We’re not going in to play a
close game; we’re going in to try to
win the thing.”
Notes:
• Washington leads the series with
a 2-1-1 record against the Huskers.
The last time Nebraska played at
Washington was in 1%7. The Husk
ers won 17-7.
• The game will be Nebraska’s
first road trip of the season and the
only scheduled night game. The Husk
ers have an overall record ol 20-7-3 in
night games on the road. _
Huskies
Continued from Page 8
one of the country’s most talented
quarterback tandems, his team still
had problems on offense in its first
two games this year.
“Part of the problems our quarter
backs have had is they ’ ve started where
they left off, but our offensive line
isn’t giving them all the protection
they got last year,” James said. “We’ re
facing a lot of problems from de
fenses because of our problems on
offense.”
After last season’s national cham
pionship, Washington watched All
American nose guard SteveEmiman
forego his final year of eligibility to
enter the National Football League’s
draft. Emtman was consequently made
the first overall pick by the Indianapo
lis Colts.
The Huskies return six defensive
starters, including inside linebacker
Dave Hoffman, a Butkus Award can
didate who has led Washington in
tackles the past two seasons.
James said Washington’s biggest
concern is the Nebraska offensive
line, which averages close to 300
pounds per lineman.
“(Nebraska football coach) Tom
Osborne said this is the best offensive
line he’s ever had,” James said. “And
the scary thing is Nebraska is so big on
the offensive line, plus they’ve got a
260-pound light end (William Wash
ington) in there."
James, who has compiled a 144
54-2 record in his 17 years as the
Huskies coach, said he wanted the
72,500 fans at Husky Stadium to in
Uimidatc the Huskers.
“I’m basically doing nothing more
than pleading for the fans to come and
make noise,” James said._

Seattle expects
clear, sunny day
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska football team has j
many concerns going into Saturday’s"
game with the second-ranked Wash

The forecast for Seattle calls for

lure is expected to dip below 50 de
grees by kickoff.
No precipitation is expected for
the Seattle area and wind should not
be a factor.

time,” said Rod Simons, a meteorolo

should be good playing cond itions for
the players.
