Drop in or
f Big Eight explodes with wins
By Gregg Madsen
Staff Reporter
In its final year of existence, the
I Big Eight appears to be going down in
i a blaze of glory.
So far this season, Big Eight
l teams have compiled a 22-6 record
L against nonconference opponents. Last
P Saturday, the conference went 7-1 and
outscored opponents an impressive
329-148, an average victory margin
of 22 points.
Iowa State sophomore running back
Troy Davis ripped Nevada-Las Vegas
for 302 yards Saturday to lead the
Cyclones to a 57-30 victory. The vic
tory raised the Cyclones’ record to 2
2, their best start since the 1992 sea
son. v
Davis, the USA Today prep player
of the year in Florida in 1993, needs
only 88 yards to reach the 1,000-yard
mark and become the first sophomore
in NCAA history to reach 1,000 yards
in just five games.
Only five players have rushed for
1,000 yards in the season’s first five
games. Two of those players, Okla
homa State’s Earnest Anderson in
1981 and Barry Sanders in 1988, were
from the Big Eight.
Davis is leading the nation in total
yardage with 922 and also has the top
average of 228 yards a game.
In Monday’s Big Eight coaches
teleconference, first-year Cyclone
coach Dan McCamey said that the
team took great pride in Davis’ per
formance this season. But McCamey
said that individual honors were not as
important as team accomplishments.
“We are trying to improve as a
team,” he said.
Improvement can be found through
out the conference this season. The 22
non-conference victories already,
match last year’s total, and three more
wins would tie the second-best mark
in conference history. The best Big
Eight non-conference record came in
1975 when the conference went 284.
With five teams ranked in this
week’s Associated Press poll,
McCamey and other Big Eight coaches
are expecting some tough conference
battles this season.
“The Big Eight is just a sensational
conference,” McCarney said. “It’s
going to be an outstanding challenge.”
Kansas coach Glen Mason agreed.
“We have more teams that are
good,” Mason said. “There aren’t any
really bad teams this year.”

ward to the match and was disap
pointed that she struggled.
“I don’t really know what hap
pened,” Vtyurina said. “I guess I was
trying to play around the block be
cause I knew the block was going to be
really high. I was just being careful
instead of being extremely aggres
sive.”
Homan said she expected Nebraska
to pressure her squad at the net.
“I thought they would be incred
ibly aggressive at the net, and they
were,” Homan said. “The way they
played was everything that they were
expecting.”
The height and the aggressiveness
Nebraska presented were the main
problems, Vtyurina said.
“We’re not quite used to that be
cause although our team is considered
to be tall at 6-foot, we’re seeing every
body being over six and being such
great athletes on the other side of the
net,” Vtyurina said. “They play very
different volleyball than we play on
the east coast.”
Even though Vtyurina struggled
Saturday, she said she left with special
feeling about Nebraska.
“I love this state.”

Green, who has quietly accumu

this season, said he was ready to
take over the starting role.

James Sims (216 yards and three
touchdowns this season). Fullback
Joel Makovicka would fill in be
hind Sims if the Huskers needed to
go that far, Osborne said. ^
“It’s pretty thin right now,”
Osborne said. “Now we have
Ahman Green and James Sims.
James hurt his back a little bit
(against Pacific). Joel Makovicka
would be our number four I-back,
or number three if Damon can’t
play. And he re-injured a toe that
has been giving him problems, so
that position is depleted pretty
badly.”
