NORMAN, Okla. — Finally, Tom
Osborne felt some comfort about his
quarterback situation as he strolled
down the sideline during Nebraska's
i j-j victory over
Oklahoma on Fri
day in Norman.
The coach's re
assurance stood
behind him,
wearing No. 17.
The unfamiliar
number was not
an unfamiliar
_ . face to Osborne
rrazi«r an(j cornhus^er
fans, as many
waited to see whether quarterback
Tommie Frazier would see his first
action since Sept. 24.
Frazier, who was cleared to play
Wednesday after being sidelined by
a blood clot, did not play. But the
thought did cross Osborne's mind as
he watched his team end with minus
8 total yards for the second quarter.
“I looked at Tommie a few times,”
Osborne said. “It wasn’t Brook’s
problem (the lack of offense in the
first half)- Brook was doing a good
job. We told the doctor we wouldn't
put Tommie in the game unless Brook
went down or something really cata
strophic happened.
“I would have felt real bad if we
would have put Tommie in there and
have something happen to him. It was
a little quick to have him here, but it
was a nice feeling just to have him
on the sideline.”
Frazier wore No. 17 rather than
his normal No. 15, because during the
last road game in which Frazier
played — Sept. 8 against Texas Tech
— his jersey was tom.
