Nebraska free safely Troy Dumas joke
of three defensive backs making tneir
Stad McKee/DN
s around during a recent scrimmage. Dumas is one
first start Saturday.
No weak link
Secondary will prove its worth, Dumas says
By Derek Samson
Staff Reporter
Nebraska free safety Troy Dumas
is out to set the record straight about
himself and his fellow defensive
backs.
Dumas said he was excited for
games to begin to prove wrong the
rumors that the lack of experience in
the secondary would hurt the
CbrnhuSkcr defense.
“Everyone is talking that the sec
ondary is a weak link to this defense,”
Dumas said. “I don’t buy that at all.
Actually, I think it is one of the stron
ger parts.”
Comerback John Reece is the only
returning starter in the Husker sec
ondary, but that doesn’t concern
Dumas.
“Even though we didn’t start, most
of us got a lot of playing time last
year,” he said. “Right now, we’re all
just waiting for games to see how it
goes.”
Dumas said the defensive backs
wanted to earn a reputation not only in
the conference, but across the country
** “We want to be one of the hardest
hitting secondaries in the nation,”
foot-3, 213-pound Dumas
said he fell into that category.
“My strong point is, I’m big and
Dumas said. “We’ve got some head
bar
quick, he said. Tm able to see a lot
over the linemen. I don’t have a hard
time seeing the ball, ami that really
helps.”
As a backup to Tyrone Byrd in
1992, Dumas saw playing time in
every game and started against Arizo
na State and Oklahoma State. He fin
ished the season with 31 tackles.
“I can see a difference in last year
and in this year,” he said. “Even though
1 wasn’t a starter, I can see a differ
ence lmtic unity among the defensive
backs.
‘‘This year, everyone hangs out
with each other, and there wasn’t that
kind of unity here last year. It really
helps on the field when everyone can
relate to each other.”
Nebraska enjoys injury-free practice
From Staff Wtportt
The Nebraska football team didn’t
experience any injuries during Thurs
day’s practice at Memorial Stadium,
Coach Tom Osborne said.
Left guard Joel Wilks, who missed
practice again Thursday, will not play
Saturday against North Texas, he said.
Senior linebacker Austin Wertz
will undergo arthroscopic knee sur
gery sometime in the next week.
Osborne said Wertz, who is also suf
fering from a fractured hand, would
miss at least two weeks.
Despite the fact that North Texas is
a Division I-AA school, Osborne said
he was not concerned about the Husk
ers looking past the Eagles.
“I think it’s good that it’s a first
game,” Osborne said. "I hope they’ll
be excited."
The first game is always full of
uncertainty, and Osborne warned not
to expect perfection from the Husk
ers.
“We may play a great game and
win by three points, or we may play
not so well and win big,” he said.
Osborne said 105 players would
suit up for the game.
Senior safety Mike Heins and se
nior wingback David Seizys have re
cently been awarded scholarships,
bringing the total number of scholar
ship players to 87, Osborne said.
NCAA rules allow schools to have
88 football players on scholarship.
“We’ve got a couple of guys in
mind," Osborne said. “We might give
one (scholarship) at mid-year. We’ll
see how it works out.”
