Record punts
reap Kosch
AT&T award
From Staff Reports
Nebraska punter Jesse Kosch
won the AT&T Long Distance
“punt” award with a 61-yard
average on two kicks Saturday
in the Comhuskers’ 77-28 win
over Arizona State.
Kosch had punts of 74 yards
and 48 yards for his average.
The 74-yard punt was the long
est of the sophomore’s career.
In three games, he has punted
just six times and boasts a 47.2
average. Kosch would rank sec
ond in the Big Eight, but he
doesn’t have enough attempts
to qualify.
Kosch has helped Nebraska
lead the nation in net punting,
with an average of 4,7.8 yards
an attempt. In honor of the ac
complishment, AT&T has do
nated $400 to the NCAA’s De
gree-Completion Award Pro
gram.

“Offensively, we want to get our
whole scheme set and have a bal
anced game,” he said.
That may be easier said than done
because the Husker defense domi
nated Pacific last year, holding
Abdullah to 20 yards on nine carries.
“They’re such a complete team at
every position,” he said. “The main
thing is for us to execute. We can’t
control Nebraska, only ourselves.”,
Abdullah played for two years at
San Diego State before transferring
to Pacific, which is located in his
hometown of Stockton, Calif.
Playing in Stockton has been a
good experience for Abdullah, but he
said that he would like to see more
enthusiasm from the hometown fans.
“Football is a spiritual game,” he
said. “It would be great to have more
support.”
And Abdullah said Nebraska’s
support was phenomenal.
“Nebraska is the best place in the
country to play as far as the fans are,”
he said.
Growing up watching Pacific
struggle has given Abdullah the in
centive to prove something to his
hometown.
Abdullah said he would love to
leave Pacific with a Big West cham
pionship and a trip to the Las Vegas
Bowl.
“We haven’t really done anything
in the past 20 years,” he said. “It
would be great to go to the bowl and
prove something to Stockton.”
Denny

not that big of a-deal to put up 77
points. They’ve done it to a lot of
teams..
“People were writing a lot of stuff
about how we just play Nebraska for
the money and that we were just
going to get killed. Well, I didn’t hear
any of that about Arizona State and
look what happened to them. There is
a lot more that we get from this game
than just money.”
An All-Big West Conference can
didate, Denny totaled 69 tackles last
season. He is averaging six tackles a
game this season.
Denny, who missed his first game
last week when an injured knee kept
him out of the loss to Fresno State,
said there were plenty of benefits
from playing Nebraska that the Ti
gers could take into their Big West
schedule.
“Most teams don’t get the chance
.to play a top five team every year,” he
said. “It can really benefit us down
the road. We get to measure our
selves against the best players in the
country. You can’t beat that kind of
opportunity and that kind of experi
ence.
“It’s pretty much us against the
world when we walk in there. It’s a
lot of fun. Not everyone gets the
opportunity to play on a team like
Nebraska’s home field. It will be a
great experience — as long as we can
improve and play a whole lot better
than we have been.”
The 6-foot-1, 225-pound senior
said the Tigers were more interested
in recovering from a slow start than
in trying to match Nebraska.
“If everybody does their job, then
good things will happen,” he said.
“We’re more concerned with improv
ing than we are the score. Etefen
sively, we want to slow down their
running game better than anyone has
to this point. The key to us keeping it
any kind of game is our defense slow
ing their run down. But that won’t be
easy.”
Cmich

and I like to watch her play,” Cmich
said. 1
Defensively, Cmich said she was
satisfied with the way she was play
ing this fall. The junior from River
Forest, 111., leads the the top-ranked
Huskers in digs, averaging3.4 a game.
Offensively, however, she said die
still had plenty of room for improve
ment: Cmich, who has started eight
of nine matches this season for the 8
1 Comhuskers, has registered 42 kills,
fourth on the team behind Allison
Weston, Lisa Rcitsma and Winsett.
“This past year,” Cmich said, “I
think my defense has gotten a lot
better. Right now, I’m really not
happy with my hitting. That’s some
thing I have got to work on more. It’s
gotten better, but it needs to be a lot
better.”
As a freshman, Cmich played in
only 19 matches and 27 games, total
ing 10 kills and 21 digs. A year ago,
she played in 24 of 32 matches, and
had a career-high 16 digs in a four
game win over Iowa State on Oct. 22.
When she arrived in Lincoln,
Husker coach Terry Pettit said Cmich
was something of a raw talent. But
long hours of work on the practice
court have paid off, he said.
“Kate is one of those people that if
she gets thousands and thousands of
repetitions, she becomes very good
at something,” Pettit said.
“Her vision is good. Herarm swing
is good. But almost everything else is
learned. She has really made herself
into a very good volleyball player.”
Cmich said Pettit’s assessment was
accurate.
“I’ve come a long way since I was
a freshman,” Cmich said. “Just doing
things over and over has helped me in
practice. I don’t think there is a prac
tice that goes by that I don’t work on
my arm and my hitting.”
