And Nebraska head coach Terry Pettit said that favorites would not make too many mistakes in the latter part of the season. “It’s just all-around good volley ball at this point,” Pettit said. “And Tigers Continued from Page 8 “We’ve had some good freshmen.” Osborne said, “and I don’t think I can ever remember a true freshman that’s had as much impact in as many ways as Grant has ....

Tiger coach Larry Smith said he was hoping his team could take an even bigger step this weekend with a victory over No. 2 Nebraska. Missouri, 2-4. plays host to 7-0 Nebraska at 1:08 p.m. Saturday at Columbia, Mo. “We took another step as a foot ball team, in terms of just playing team football,” Smith said. “We made plays in all areas early in the game and got ourselves on the board up 14 0.” Smith had been looking for that offensive explosion all season. But until last weekend against the Cow boys, the Tigers had only scored seven first-quarter points all year. Not only have the Tigers struggled scoring early, but they haven't had much success at home either. The Tigers arc 0-3 at home this season, with their only two victories — against Houston and Oklahoma State — in games on the road. Smith said the team had kept the same daily schedules, but it may have been a little more focused in the two road wins. - Smith, who replaced former Mis “They have great athletes in the secondary, and they just tee those guys up in front and let them go” ■ LARRY SMITH Missouri coach souri coach Bob Stull Dec. 15, inher its a tough task in coaching his first game ever against the Huskers. Missouri hasn ’t beaten Nebraska since a 35-31 victory in Lincoln in 1978. And Missouri hasn’t beaten the Huskers in Columbia since 1973. Winning this weekend may be tough considering that the Husker defense is coming off a big win against Chad May and Kansas State. The Husker defense held the Wild cats to just 242 yards of total offense. Smith said he was impressed with the way Nebraska contained Kansas State last Saturday. “I thought their defense was su per-dominant,” Smith said. “They nave great athletes in the secondary. and they just tee those guys up in front and let them go.” On the Nebraska offensive side of the ball, Smith said the Tigers still needed to be concerned about Brook Berringer, even though Tommie Frazier is out. Smith said the biggest difference between Berringer and Frazier was in their big-play ability. “Berringer runs the option and runs it very well and has hurt people with him keeping the football,” Smith said. “But Frazier was a threat when ever he touched the ball.” Smith said he knew a little about what it was like to play without a key player. Before last Saturday’s game against Oklahoma State, Smith sus pended starting linebacker Darryl Major for violating team policy. “Other guys have got to step it up,” Smith said. “Basically that's what happened to us.” Smith said one Husker who had stepped it up was 1-back Lawrence Phillips. Smith said he first saw Phillips in high school when he was the coach at Southern California. “He’s an extremely physical, tal ented young person,” Smith said. “The more times he is given the ball, the more times he wants it. That’s what a good running back does.” NU soccer ready for tough trip ly Todd Walkuhoft Staff Reporter The Nebraska soccer team is look ing at its toughest challenge of the season as it prepares to face third ranked Stanford this weekend. The Cornhuskers will travel to Colorado Springs, Colo., to compete against both Colorado College and Stanford. Nebraska enters this weekend 10 2 and currently holds a six-game win ning streak. Nebraska coach John Walker said his team should go into this weekend healthy and rested. “We were battered and bruised,” Walker said, “but we had five days to get ready.” The Huskcrs have their work cut out for them this weekend. Walker said. “We play the No. 3 team in the country on Sunday, and we play Colo rado College on Saturday, who is tra ditionally tough,” he said. Despite Colorado College’s 3-6-3 record, Walker said it had played a tough schedule and was a perennial final four team. Sunday afternoon, the Huskers will face their toughest challenge of the season when they meet Stanford. The Cardinal are 10-1 with their only loss being a 1-0 setback to North Carolina. Stanford has been dominating this year, outscoring its opponents 28-5. Also, the Cardinal have outshot their opponents 225-83. “Obviously they are a very tough team,” Walker said. But the Huskers are not traveling to Colorado expecting a‘lo4s this week. Walker said the Huskers needed a NK - • combined effort from everyone to end the weekend with two wins. “We have to battle them every minute,” he said. “If we play well, we’ll win. If we don’t, we’ll lose.” Stanford also will have an extra day of rest that could help with the high altitude in Colorado. “They have 48 hours rest vs. our 24,” Walker said, “but that’s life, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Playing one of the best teams in the country will let the first-year Husker program see how it stands against other programs. But Walker said the team was not concerned with national perception. “This will show what we are ca pable of,” he said. “It’s not so much what others think about us, but what we think about ourselves. “It’s going to be a tough weekend, but I think we are ready for it.” Stewart named as Butkus semifinalist From Staff Reports Nebraska linebacker Ed Stewart has been named one of 13 semifinal ists for the Butkus Award, which is given annually by the Downtown Athletic Club of Orlando to the ■ nw; ' nation’s best linebacker.
