Nebraska Continued from Page 7 “It’s seems kind of strange to be saying after five weeks that you still don’t know how good you are,'’ he said. “Yet I’m afraid that some of us are in that position.’’ After Nebraska’s recent matchups with the Wildcats, he said, the Huskers can’t afford to overlook Kansas State. Nebraska beat the Wildcats 38 31 in 1991 after scoring the win ning touchdown with just more than three minutes left in the game. Nebraska then had to hold the Wild cats after they had driven within Nebraska’s 10-yard line in the final I seconds. \ HEY PUMPKIN HEAD, ' COME SEE US FOR YOUR !) HALLOWEEN THREADS! Second Wind x Vintage Clothing and Collectables *) 720 "O" Street (Under the Viaduct) Wildcats want a win, back says By Derek Samson * Staff Reporter Kansas State is coming into Lin coln with a much different attitude this year. Running back J.J. Smith said the 5 0 Wildcats had built up their confi dence enough to think in terms of beating the 5-0 Comhuskers Saturday in Memorial Stadium. “We’re coming in expecting a tough game, but we’re preparing to win,” Smith said. “In the past, it seemed like when we played Nebras ka it was more of a thing where we were just trying not to lose. This year is different.” The Wildcats are coming off an emotional 10-9 victory last Saturday over rival Kansas that preserved their winning streak. The win, Smith said, may give Kansas State the same boost it did when the Wildcats finished 7-4 in 1991. “That is always such a big game for us,” he said. “Two years ago when we beat them, it seemed to spring us through the rest of the season. Hope fully, that will be the case again.” Kansas State may need a 1 ittle boost against its next three opponents — Nebraska, Colorado and Oklahoma. “Our goal is to get in a bowl game, and with five wins we’re not very far off,” Smith said. “Every week is go ing to get tougher and tougher. We know we have a chance in every game; and if we keep doing our best, we should be able to get to a bowl.” Smith has rushed for 429 yards on 90 carries this season. He gamed 232 yards on 51 carries in 1992 as Eric Gallon’s backup. “It's one of my per sonal goals to be one of the leading rushers in the conference,” Smith said. “I ’ ve just been trying to lead by exam ple. “I think most of us are doing a good job of that, considering we are 5-0.” Dirksen calls Oregon meet tough By Tony West Staff Reporter After five weeks of the season, Nebraska cross country coach Jay Dirksen finally believes his team is ready for tough competition. Dirksen said his teams had learned the difference between being able to run well and being able to run well in competitive races. “We’re starting to be able to race better,” Dirksen said. And the Huskers will have the chance to prove it when they make the trip to Eugene, Ore., for the JeffDrenth Memorial Invitational Saturday. The men are scheduled to run an 8,000-meter race, and the women are scheduled to run 5,000 meters. Nebraska will get the chance to see some nationally ranked teams. “This meet gives us a chance to see how we compete against teams around the nation that we normally don’t get to see,” he said. The men will compete against No. 14 Oregon, No. 12 Wake Forest, No. 13 Washington and No. 9 Portland. The No. 15 women will face sev enth-ranked Oregon, among others. Along with trying to be competi tive in the meet, the Huskers are look ing to fine-tune before the Big Eight Championships Oct. 30 at Columbia, Mo. “This is a great meet for the time of the year,” Dirksen said. “This is the last meet before we really get into the championship phase of the season. “We’re probably going to have a tough time winning the meet. But how you run is just as important as where you place.” mat to use vfcsn ycsur terse til not bjlt your pa Visa.
