Comhuskers: scoring explosion
no excuse for defensive lapses
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
In a three-game nonconference
stretch last season, ending with the
Nebraska football team’s 42-32 win
over Wyoming, the Comhusker de
fense gave up 1,168 yards—an aver
age of 389 yards a game.
At the same time, they surrendered
74 points, an average 24 points a game.
But in its next seven games, Ne
braska gave up a total of only 65
points, 9.2 a game.
This year, after an impressive de
fensive effort against conference foe
Oklahoma State in the season-opener,
the Blackshirts have given up 796
yards and 38 points in games against
Michigan State and Arizona State.
Nebraska secondary coach George
Darlington said the difference this year
was the Husker offense.
“This (Arizona State game) kind of
reminded me of the Wyoming game
last year,” Darlington said. “Wyoming
beat us on some big plays. The only
difference was our offense was so
remarkable in this game. We know
better what our people can and cannot
do.
“You try to learn what you can and
cannot do and try to project it against
Florida State, project it against Kan
sas State, project it against Colorado
— teams that throw very well.”
Mike Minter, a junior defensive
back, said the recent slide was similar
to last year’s, but not identical.
“Last year, I had just got hurt, and
we had some new players in there
adjusting to the system,” Minter said.
“We probably are a little bit better
than we were last year at this time. But
we still have a long way to go.”
Minter, who missed almost the en
tire season after tearing his anterior
cruciate ligament in the second game
of the season against Texas Tech, said
a big lead on the scoreboard wasn’t an
excuse to give up big plays.
“That’s real frustrating because we
should never give up passes like we
did,” he said. “The coaches aren’t too
happy about that. We’re up 35-0, but
that doesn’t mean we can stop play
ing. But we’ll come around.”
Nebraska has given up 580 yards
passing and four touchdown passes in
the last two games, including three
touchdown passes by Sun Devi Is quar
terback Jake Plummer.
Jared Tomich, a junior outside line
backer, said it was important to get an
effective pass rush on the quarter
back. He said Plummer was elusive in
the backfield.
“He was a quick thrower, and he
was hard to get to,” Tomich said. “He
stepped up in the pocket a little more
and didn’t scramble out much so the
linebackers could have a shot at him.
We needed to get a better rush, but it
was tough with him.”
In three games, the Huskers have
sacked the opposing quarterback ei ght
times. A year ago, Nebraska totalled
47.5 sacks in 13 games, an average of
3.7 sacks an outing.
Minter blamed individual letdowns
for Plummer’s big passing perfor
mance.
“It’s all up to the individual,” he
said. “Some individuals still play, but
some get lackadaisical when you’re
that far ahead. The first three series,
we shut them down because everyone
was pumped up. We just have to leam
to play through the times when we’re
not so fired up.”
Tomich, who said the Huskers’
defensive effort on Saturday was de
cent, agreed with Minter.
“Here and there, we’d get lazy, but
then we’d pick it up again,” he said.
“We weren’t in it mentally sometimes.
We have to keep it so our emotions are
always up.”
Even though giving up big pass
plays with a 28-point lead isn’t the
worst time possible, Darlington said,
it still isn’t acceptable.
“There are times you have to be
perfect, and if you’re not perfect, you
will pay for it,” Darlington said. “When
you give up four big passes, you can’t
be excited. We wanted to match our
big-play offense with a big-play de
fense.”
