CU Buffaloes looking to avenge last year s loss
By Jeff Griesch
Senior Reporter
Two of Colorado’s most danger
ous offensive weapons will be look
ing for revenge against Nebraska on
Saturday.
Wide receivers Charles Johnson
and Michael Westbrook said the mem
ory of Nebraska’s 52-7 win last sea
son in Lincoln was motivating Colo
rado.
Last season, Johnson caught 57
passes for 1,149 yards, and Westbrook
had 76 receptions for 1,060 yards, but
the two combined for only five catch
es and 83 yards against the
Comhuskers.
“They embarrassed and humiliat
ed us on national television last year,”
Johnson said. “We can’t forget that
loss. It doesn’t matter at all what our
record is because this is Nebraska.”
Westbrook said he couldn’t forget
about the loss to the Huskers, and the
Buffaloes wanted a win this season to
regain some lost pride.
“Any time a team that is used to
w inning a lot of games and has a great
tradition loses 52-7, they want to make
up for that loss,” Westbrook said.
“Call it payback or revenge or what
ever, we just want to win.”
The Buffaloes come into the game
against the Comhuskers with a 4-2-1
record, which Johnson said was a
major disappointment.
“We felt we could have had a
chance at the national championship
and an undefeated season," Johnson
said. “We know that we’re only one or
two plays from being 7-0, so we arc
frustrated with our season.”
Despite Colorado’s frustrations, a
ainst Nebraska would put the
xs in the driver’s seat in the
race for the Big Eight title, Johnson
said, and salvage Colorado’s season.
“If we beat Nebraska, it would be
one of our preseason goals accom
plished, and it would give us a chance
to accomplish another goal of win
ning the Big Eight,” Johnson said. “It
keeps our season from being a com
plete loss.”
Despite a frustrating season for the
team, Johnson’s individual statistics
are better than last season’s.
-M
Call It payback or
revenge or whatever,
we just want to win.
—Westbrook,
CU wide receiver
Through seven games, Johnson,
the Big Eight’s leading receiver and
the nation’s ninth best receiver, has
37 catches for 703 yards and six touch
downs.
Along with better receiving num
bers, Johnson said he had also become
a better all-around player, which he
credited to having more time to con
centrate on football.
Although Johnson is only in his
fourth season at Colorado, he gradu
ated in August with a degree in mar
keting.
“Graduating has given me more
time to watch film and study what the
»»
other team is doing, whereas oetore 1
needed to spend more time in class
and didn’t really watch any film,”
Johnson said.
“My attitude is better and I have
been able to focus all of my attention
on football since I haven’t had to
spend so much time on my classes.
Now I am a better student of the
game.”
Johnson said his ability to study
the other team had made him a smart
er football player.
“My ability to read defenses and
schemes that the other team is run
ning, which come from being able to
see more film, has made me a better
player and has allowed me to do more
things on the field,” Johnson said.
While Johnson is having his finest
season for the Buffaloes, Westbrook
has struggled.
Westbrook has been held to just 23
catches for 298 yards and one touch
down this season.
Because Colorado has emphasized
its running game more this season,
Westbrook said he had to become a
better blocker and complete player.
“Last year we threw the ball 60
times a game, so I never had to block,”
Westbrook said. “This year we have
only been throwing about 30 times
and running 30 or 40 times, so I am
blocking on about 50 plays a game."
Westbrook said he had accepted
his role and his receiving statistics no
longer concerned him.
“I don’t care if I don’t catch a pass
against Nebraska, and if I just have to
block every time I will,” Westbrook
said. “As long as we win that game I
will be happy with the way I played.”
CU player wants win as senior
By Mitch Sherman
Staff Reporter
Colorado outside linebacker Ron
Woolfork looks at Saturday’s game
against Nebraska as a challenge.
The Buffaloes haven’t beaten the
Huskers since Woolfork’s freshman
season in 1990, when Colorado won
27-12 in Lincoln.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 240-pound se
nior saw limited playing time in 1990
but has blossomed since. He recorded
13 sacks in 1991 and was named to the
All-Big Eight second team. Last sea
son Woolfork earned first team All
Big Eight honors, had 13.5 sacks and
put himself in a position to contend
for All-American honors this season.
Woolfork said he would take the
personal awards, but team goals were
more important. He said the Buffs
would show no effects from last week’s
16-16 tie with Kansas State, and they
would be ready for the Huskers this
year.
“This game is a game we very
much want to win, especially based
on what happened in Lincoln last
year,” Woolfork said.
Last year’s 52-7 Nebraska victory,
in which the Huskers outdid the Buf
faloes 428 yards to 144 yards, includ
ing 373 to 8 on the ground, has ac
counted for the thoughts of revenge
that have weighed heavily on the
minds of many Colorado players this
week.
“Last year was definitely a reality
check,” Woolfork said. “We needed
to find out where we were at. Now we
know where we’re at.”
Where the Buffs are at is seventh in

the Big Eight in defense, giving up
397 yards a game. But Colorado ranks
second to Nebraska in defense against
the run, giving up 120 yards a game.
“Defensively, we struggled early,
but now we’re improving,” said
Woolfork, who has compiled 4.5 sacks
and 33 total tackles through seven
games this year. “Now we’re going to
put it all on the line.”
An improved Colorado defense is
not a good sign for the Huskers, who
have won only once in their last four
trips to Boulder. A fired-up Buffalo
team is even worse news, Woolfork
said.
“Realistically, 1 think this game is
for the Big Eight title; it’s been like
that for the last five years. You’re
going to see the real Colorado football
team show up.”
Huskers
Continued from Page 9
Osborne said the presence of the
option in the Buffaloes’ offense posed
some problems to the Husker defense.
“They have worked on the option,
and it makes a difference in the way
you prepare your defense,” Osborne
said.
The Buffaloes average 239.4 yards
per game rushing, but they will have
to put those numbers up against Ne
braska’s rushing defense, which ranks
first in the conference.
The Huskers have allowed oppo
nents to run for an average of only
106.1 yards per game.
Although Colorado ranks first in
the conference in total offense, it ranks
seventh in the Big Eight and 77th in
the nation in total defense.
The Buffaloes’ defense has given
up 397.1 yards per game, while the
Nebraska offense has averaged 466.4
yards.
Despite the statistics,Osborne said
Colorado had a strong defense.
“If there was a weakness for them
early in the year, it probably was their
defense, but they have come around
and played well, so 1 don’t know if it
is a real weakness now.”
Buffs
Continued from Page 9
physicallyMcCartney said. “That’s
the only Big Eight loss we’ve had in
five years, so we remember it.”
The Buffaloes were able to man
age only 144 yards in last year’s game
against Nebraska, but they may be
able to improve on that figure Satur
day with the league’s top offense.
Colorado leads the Big Eight with a
485.1 yards-per-game average.
McCartney said Saturday’s game
should come down to how the Buffalo
offense does against the Husker de
fense, which is the stingiest in the
conference, yielding only 333 yards
per game.
