Sefense tinued from Page 10 aska to de-cmphasizc the role of efensive linemen, McBride said. s* old defense, the Huskcrs used a 5e guard and two tackles on the line rimmage. incc last year, Nebraska has gone two defensive tackles and two dc linebackers, more accurately described as rush ends. McBride said combining four men on the line of scrimmage with smaller, quicker linebackers l ike Ed Stewart and Troy Dumas — both of whom began their careers as defensive backs—had given Nebraska one of the most feared pass rushes in the nation. “(Quarterback pressure) takes a lot of pressure off the secondary,” Me Bride said. “Even if we don’t get a sack, we might gel a bad ball thrown or a ball thrown out of bounds just by the pres Dykes Continued from Page 10 Lethridgc completed 16 of 22 passes for 190 yards, and Darden completed 7 of 13 passes for 92 yards. Neither quar terback threw an interception. “That was kind of a surprise how well they played,” Dykes said. “They didn’t throw any bad passes. They both showed a lot ofpoise. They complement each other pretty good.” Only three offensive starters return from a Red Raider team that averaged 34.9 points per game last year. However, in last year’sgamcagainst Nebraska, Texas Tech held a21 -20 lead in the third quarter before the Huskcrs exploded to win 50-27. Dykes said he wasn’t worried aboul how the Red Raiders would handle playing the No. 1 team in the nation. He said the experience his team gained from last year’s trip to Lincoln would help tonight. “Now it’s not all foreign to us,” Dykes said. Not all that Texas Tech did againsl New Mexico, however, pleased Dykes “We arc going up against one of the best teams in recent history and ccrtain Ily one of the best teams in America,” Dykes said. “Wc have got to make some One of the key people applying that pressure is defensive tackle Terry Connealy, who said the Huskers’ shut outofWest Virginia wasn’tasperfectas it appeared. “There’s always room for improve ment,” Connealy said. “There were times when we blew assignments or didn’t run a scheme quite right, but we got lucky, and the ball carriers bounced to the right places.” However, part of it wasn’t luck, he said. The other part was speed. “With the bunch of athletes that we have,” Connealy said,“that speed makes up for a lot of mistakes and blown assignments. It covers up a lot of er rors.” Connealy said he was optimistic the defense could continue to improve. “Boy, I’ll tell you what, I would like to peak the first game and just keep it up thewholeyear. It’s important that we do get better each game. We don’t want to have a game where we drop off and k ind of lose our focus and go backwards.” major improvements or they will blow us out of the stadium.” Dykes said the Red Raiders should be able to give the Huskers a battle, though. “We have got the makings of a good football team. I don’t think we will be totally awestricken (against Nebraska). We’ve got to get ready to handle adver sity. If you’re not careful, you will get your head down and never recover.” (Perilling luditoriuni 15th &N THIS WEEKEND You'll be surprised with what you'll find.
