sat out with minor injuries Thursday,
Osborne said.
The team looked much better in
Thursday’s practice than it did earlier
in the week, he said.
“It was a little better practice,” he
said. “They practiced with more in
tensity.”
The Huskers will conduct their last
pre-season scrimmage at 12:30 p.m.
Saturday. They play their first game
against North Texas Sept. 4.
“I don’t want players thinking if
they come out as first-string quarter
back or second-string quarterback that
that’s how it is (for the rest of the
year),” he said. “This is a very impor

Osborne said. “But inour scrimmages
we haven’t seen a huge difference in
the flow of the game, and we have had
Big Eight officials working them.”
The rule’s biggest impact may be
on Husker equipment manager Glen
Abbott, who plans on bringing addi
tional pants and jerseys when Ncbras
ca is on the road.
“Carrying more jerseys could be a
problem,” Abbott said, “especially if
they strictly enforce the rule, because
we just don’t have that many extra
jerseys, and we can’t exactly have an
offensive lineman wearing No. 20.”
Other rule changes include:
• The guard-around, or “fumble
rooskie,” now is illegal.
• The penalty for offensive pass
interference no longer will include
loss of down.
• Unsportsmanlike conduct now
will include vulgar and abusive lan
guage.
Missouri

Missouri, Stull thinks the personnel is
ready for it. He’s recruited for speed
and has eight defensive starters who
can run a 4.6-second 40-yard dash,
complemented with three massive
players on the front line.
“You’ve got to have some up front
guys who can create chaos and you’ve
got to have some speed guys who can
run and hit and arrive at the ball in a
bad mood,” Hall said.
“We’ve got the speed players and
the 295-pound players that charge
upficld, like rhinos through the brush.
I like our chemistry and it’s a fun
defense to play.”
He’s even come with a name for
the defense—the “Black Attack”—
using one of the school colors.
“That’s who we are,” he said.
“Now, we’ve got to go out and intro
duce ourselves to some people.”
For a change, Stull is more con
cerned about the offense, particularly
the running backs, heading into the
Sept. 11 opener against Illinois at
home.
Missouri was dead last in the NCAA
in rushing last year and two weeks
before the first game Stull doesn’t
really have a starting tailback. Last
year’s starter, Joe Freeman, had eligi
bility problems and didn’t begin prac
ticing until Monday.

“1 have more confidence this year,”
she said. “1 know the defense, the
people around me, the plays, and the
position. I just need to concentrate on
my skills and not as much on learning
this year.”
Winsett said she learned a lot over
the summer when she participated in
the U.S. Olympic Festival. Winsett’s
North team won the bronze medal
after losing to Huskcr teammate Nikki
Strieker’s team, which won the gold
medal.
“That helped me tremendously,”

Seles says she was so traumatized
by being stabbed in the back four
months ago that she hasn’t even
been able to look at the wound in
the mirror.
“it’s not something I want to
do,” she said in an interview with
Diane Sawyer on ABC’s
“PrimeTime Live.”
“It just reminds me too much of
what actually happened.”
In an interview aired Thursday
night, Seles told Sawyer that she

Recuperating in Vail, Colo.,
from surgery to repair the wound in
her right shoulder, Seles said she
hasn't hit a ball “for a long time and
... for me to get back to any level is
going to take a lot of hours.”
Seles, however, vowed that she
would overcome the trauma from
the wound and said she bore no
grudge against her assailant.
