Stelling leaves the shadows,
shines as NU team leader
By Tony West
Staff Reporter
Theresa Stelling spent almost all
of last fall’s cross country season in
the shadow of Fran ten Bensel, a
three-time All-American and the
ninth-place finisher at last year’s
NCAA Championships in Blooming
ton, Ind.
But since ten Bensel’s graduation
in May, Stelling has moved to the
front of the women’s team and into
the limelight.
Cross country coach Jay Dirksen
said he couldn’t be happier with
Stelling’s leadership this season.
“She’s an absolutely great leader,”
Dirksen said. “She was certainly over
shadowed by Fran last year and Lisa
Graham before that. But I think this
year she’s taken on the responsibility
as a leader more.”
Huskers simulate
game crowd noi se
From Staff Reports
In preparation for Saturday’s
game against Colorado, the Ne
braska football team used simu
lated crowd noise while practic
ing at Memorial Stadium on
Wednesday.
Coach Tom Osborne said de
fensive tackle Kevin Ramaekers
returned to practice after miss
ing one day with the flu.
Linebacker Ernie Beler, who
has a sore shoulder, was held out
of practice and linebacker Ed
Stewart left practice early, also
suffering from a sore shoulder,
Osborne said.
He said none of the injuries
appeared to be serious or would
prevent the players from play

This year, Stelling finally is lead
ing the Nebraska women’s cross coun
try team, but she still is concentrating
on her own improvement. Stelling
said she wanted to continue to focus
on her personal goals as well as the
team’s.
“I want to make it to nationals and
become an All-American,’’ Stelling
said. “I think I can achieve it, if every
thing goes right.”
Just making it to nationals wouldn ’ t
be good enough for Stelling, though,
she said. She wants to improve on her
finish from the past two years. As a
sophomore, Stelling finished 109th in
1991; she was 75th last year as a
junior.
“My placing is improving every
year at nationals, and I think I can
improve on it again this year,” Stelling
said.
Stelling has made an effort to prove
that she is well on her way to that
improvement this season. At this
year’s Minnesota Invitational, Stelling
finished second. Last year she was
11th at the same meet.
Stelling’s improved leadership and
performance please Dirksen, he said.
But he is most impressed by one other
attribute Stelling has brought to the
team.
“(The other runners on the team)
really have a lot of respect for her,” he
said. “In fact, the other day one of the
younger runners came up to her for
help in balancing her checkbook.”
That respect is something that may
just lead the women’s cross country
team to the improvement it needs to
succeed, Dirksen said.
“There’s no one that works any
harder than her,” he said.
“I think we can make it to nation
als,” Stelling said.
Huskers to face game
as one more obstacle
By Derek Samson
Staff Reporter
The Nebraska Comhuskers have
posted a 7-0 record by approaching
each game as their most important,
players said, and that was what they
intended to do again Saturday, de
spite recent increases in intensity sur
rounding Nebraska’s game with Col
orado.
Several Nebraska players said the
upcoming battle with Colorado was
just another obstacle they needed to
hurdle to finish the season undefeat
ed.
“When you play in the Big Eight,
you play so many teams year after
year that every game is a big game,”
linebacker Trev Alberts said. “Every
team plays you tough at some point,
so Colorado is really no exception.
“We’re looking forward to playing
against a team with great players like
what Colorado has. That’s what col
lege football is all about.”
Alberts said Nebraska’s annual
game with Colorado was turning into
a rivalry because the Buffaloes had
emerged as one of the nation’s top
programs.
“Any time you have a team that is
ranked high, it is going to be treated as
a rivalry,” he said. “For the last few
years Colorado has been that team
that is ranked high.”
Offensive lineman Ken Mehlin said
there was a different atmosphere when
Colorado was involved.
“It is a lot more of an intense
feeling than some of the other games,”
Mehlin said. “That is what I remem
ber most about the past games with
Colorado, and that intensity seems to
rub off into practice before we play
them.”
But Colorado coach Bill
McCartney’s designation of Nebras
ka as the Buffaloes’ key rival hasn’t
necessarily rubbed off on Nebraska
players.
Tight end Trumane Bell said the
Colorado games couldn’t be com
pared to Nebraska’s longtime rivalry
with Oklahoma.
“I really couldn’t say it is that big
of a rivalry because I approach every
game as my own personal rivalry,” he
said. “As far as our schedule goes, I
guess you could say this game is right
up there, but I don’t think it is as big
as Nebraska-Oklahoma was.”
I-back Calvin Jones said the
Comhuskers did not need any extra
emotion for Saturday’s game.
“There is no need for a lot of rah
rah because we know what’s on the
line and what is at stake,” Jones said.

All right, enough of wussy sports
writer wishy-washiness. I’ve got a
prediction: I say Nebraska will beat
the SnuffalufTagoes by 10 and goon to
the Big Eight championship. I also
predict I'll lose consciousness at some
point during the game.
In fact, I say bring on Notre Dame.
