nity. to play in games when they’re
tough,” Osborne said, “If he winsthe
job back, then he wins it back. If he
doesn’t — he doesn’t.”
“Now, Fm going to he
working to win the
starting job hack.” ,
BROOK BERRENGER
backup NU quarterback
Berringer said he would have a
new focus in every game and practice.
“I’m fine,” he said. “Now, I’m
going to be working to win the start
ing job back... I’m just going to have
to go out and play my game.”
Osborne, who jokingly announced
the Huskers would start third-team
quarterback Matt Turman, said
Berringer proved that he was a ca
pable quarterback last season.
“There are a lot of years that you
would love to have Brook Berringer
as your starting quarterback,” Osborne
said. “That was pretty well demon
strated last year. He’s a great player.
We’re just blessed to have both of
' them.” . ^
Gill said the players knew
Berringer was a capable quarterback,
and they weren’t affected by the hype
surrounding the decision.
“We’ve been relaxed, and I think
all the players feel confident in both
players;” Gill said. “I think it has all
been exaggerated in the media about
the big deal in who is going to start.
It’s.not- that big of a deal.
“We can win with either of them.
We’re going to go ahead and play our
hardest with either one.”
Phillips waits for NCAA ruling
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter *
Nebraska I-back Lawrence
Phillips’ status for the Comhuskers’
opening game on Aug. 31 against
Oklahoma State remains undecided,
Phillips, Nebraska’s top I-back, is
still waiting for an NCAA decision
about his relationship with a sports
agent and a recruiter.
Phillips has admitted to taking a
ride ‘ to lunch with Jack Vemer, a
recruiter for a sports agent, in No
vember and allowing Vemer to pay
for the meal. The ride and the meal
could be violations of the NCAA’s
rule against athletes accepting extra
benefits. The organization could sus
pend Phillips or take no action in the
case.
Associate Athletic Director A1
Papik said Phillips had reimbursed
Verner for the food. Papik, who
handles the university’s compliance
with NCAA regulations, said addi
tional information on Phillips’ case
was sent Wednesday to the Legisla
tive Services office of the NCAA.
. Papik said he had hoped the issue
would have been resolved earlier this
summer, but now'hoped the’NCAA
would make its decision before the
season opener.
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said
he intended to know if Phillips would
be eligible before the Huskers play
Thursday night.
“I think if there was any question,
we would certainly get on the phone
and find out,” Osborne said. “We’re
not going to stick a guy out there if
there’s a question about his eligibil
ity. We won’t play a player if we’re in
doubt to what his status is.”
The university sent an initial re
port on the incident to the NCAA on
Aug. 10. Papik said the first report
was sent to the NCAA offices, that
handle eligibility and enforcement.
“The eligibility office then asked
for an interpretation from legislative
services, so we went to them with
some additional information,” Papik
see^his as pretty routine.
“Certainly it is our expectation
that they (the NCAA) will deliver
their decision prior to the first compe
tition.”
Osborne said the football and ath
letic administration staff were coop
erating fully with the NCAA investi
gation.
“Every question they have asked
we fiave had a satisfactory answer,”
Osborne said. “From what we heard
talking to, them on the phone they
seem to be satisfied, but you never say
never, I guess, when you’re dealing
with situations like this.”

said, “we had a great crowd, and I’d
tell people how exciting it was, even
after the match, to have the people
come up and say nice things to us.
That’s not actually how it always
works in the Big 10 Conference.”
Rose said he would like to have a
little more experience, but this team
had great potential.
“I wouldn’t mind if we had an
entirely experienced group,” Rose
said. “It’s a great challenge to play
anyone right now, no less'than play
ing. Nebraska.
“In my 17 years at Penn State,”
Rose said, “this team has the greatest
potential for growth*It’s going to be
a great event, and I look at it from the
standpoint that I’ll know more about
my team.”
