Frazier ready to tame Tigers
By Derek Samson
Senior Reporter
After starting for four years, quar
terback Tommie Frazier is preparing
to see Missouri for the final time when
the Tigers come to Lincoln Saturday.
The senior trom
Bradenton, Fla.,
said he was just
hoping the final
meeting would be
as memorable as the
first.
In his freshman
year, Frazier earned
his first start for the
Frazier they traveled to
Columbia, Mo., Oct. 24,1992.
“The memories from that game is
something I’m always going to have,”
Frazier said. “It was the First game I
ever started, so I’ll always remember
it. Coming back against themthisweek,
hopefully, I can accomplish the same
thing I did the First time I played them.
I’m just going to go out and have fun.”
Coach Tom Osborne also remem
bers the day well, and he said he
wouldn’t forget why he was so confi
dent in handing the team over to a true
freshman.
“We thought he was ready to play,
or we wouldn ’ t have done it,” Osborne
said. “There were a lot of people who
wanted him to come in here and start
the first game. But he wasn’t comfort
able with the offense enough at that
point. But each game he got better and
kept improving.
“The thing that was kind of unusual
about Tommie was how aggressively
he approached running the offense.
He took notes, and I know he studied
it. A lot of guys come in here and try to
get it by osmosis. Tommie is a bright
guy, and he has a lot of football intel
ligence. He’s one of the brighter quar
terbacks we’ve ever had here.”
Osborne said he immediately no
ticed another quality in Frazier —
competitiveness.
“There are a lot of players with
talent as freshmen, but they’re not
ready to take on the responsibility,”
Osborne said. “But he wanted the re
sponsibility. I remember about the
third or fourth game, he didn’t get to
play much, and he was going to go
home. We talked to him about it, and
he decided not to quit.
“I don’t think he would have quit i f
he didn’t start, but he is the type of guy
that is so competitive that it killed him
not to play... sometimes he gets a little
too competitive in practice. If things
aren’t going well, he gets upset. It’s
better to have that than not to care.”
Frazier said Osborne made the 34
24 victory over Missouri in 1992 easy
for him.
“I don’t think about it a lot, but
people ask me what the first game I’ve
ever started was and how I did,” Frazier
said. “It was pretty simple. Coach
Osborne kept the offense real basic. It
was option, basic dives, handoffs—it
was nothing fancy.”
Osborne said Frazier had contin
ued to improve since his freshman
year, and is increasingly dangerous to
opponents.
“I think his passing has improved,”
he said. “His numbers aren’t up too
much, but he makes some tough
throws. His athleticism is always very
important because he can get the ball
off when other people would be
sacked. Sometimes,he’ll scrambleand
make a 15-yard run when other people
would be sacked.
“It makes a difference when we’re
running option football. If you look at
our numbers right now, they’re better
than they were through the first four
games last year. We were moving the
ball pretty good last year, and then
when he went down, and Brook
(Berringer) had the injuries, and the
option became almost a nonentity.”
And Osborne said Frazier’s prepa
ration hadn’t dropped off either.
“He knows what he’s doing,”
Osborne said.
Wildcats disappointed by losses
By Trevor Parks
Senior Reporter
The Kansas State volleyball team
has hit rock bottom recently.
After a 13-2 start, its best start
since 1978, the Wildcats have
struggled, losing two heartbreaking
matches to Iowa State and Oklahoma.
Coach Jim Moore said his team
was down after having a chance to be
3-0 in the conference.
“These were the two most disap
pointing losses of my career,” Moore
said. “I’m just hoping we can bounce
back.”
Against Iowa State, the Wildcats
held a 2-1 lead in games and led the
fourth game 14-11 before the roof
caved in. The Cyclones rallied to win
the game 16-14 and won the match 3
2.
Last Saturday at Oklahoma, Kan
sas State was in a similar situation.
Trailing 2-1 this time, the Wildcats
clawed back and held a 14-6 lead in
the fourth game, but again they were
unable to get that 15th point and Okla
homa defeated Kansas State 16-14.
“We should be 3-0 if we would
have put two balls on the floor,” Moore
said. “But then again we very easily
could be 0-3.”
Instead the Wildcats are 1-2 in the
conference with a win over Colorado,
and now they must face No. 1 Ne
braska tonight at Ahem Fieldhouse in
Manhattan, Kan. Kansas State has
never beaten Nebraska in 50 matches.
Last year at Manhattan, Kansas
State took a game from Nebraska for
the first time since 1987. The Wild
cats beat the Comhuskers 15-13 in the
first game.
Moore said playing the top-ranked
Huskers, who are 14-1 and 4-0 in the
Big Eight, anywhere would be diffi
cult.
“I’m not worried about what Ne
braska might do to us; I’m worried
about our team being able to return to
its normal level,” he said.
That has been a level of success
since Moore’s arrival two years ago.
Since Moore has coached at Kan
sas State, the Wildcats have won 27
matches compared to just 24 matches
won in the three previous seasons.
Another reason for that success is
that the Wildcats are led by second
team All-Big Eight and Omaha Burke
graduate Toie Young. Young, a jun
ior, leads the team with 3.7 kills a
game and has 181 kills this season.
Overall, Young is already fifth on
Kansas State’s all-time kill list with
877.
The Wildcats also lead the Big
Eight in blocks per game with J.04.
Davis
Continued from Page 7
season—ended the first quarter with
12 carries for 66 yards, leaving him
only 22 yards shy of the approaching
milestone.
But from that point on, Davis was
shut down. He said the Sooner de
fense was focusing its attention on
him, allowing Cyclone quarterback
Todd Doxzon to record a 200-yard
passing day. Davis carried only once
in the second quarter, and five times in
the third quarter, leaving him six yards
shy of 1,000 when the final quarter
began.
A “TD-o-meter,” charting Davis’
progress, was hanging from the upper
balcony. Midway through the third
quarter, it passed the 1,000-yard mark,
only to be turned back to 997 yards
because of a miscalculation by the
Iowa State students.
“The Oklahoma defense came out
there ready to play,” said Davis, who
ran for 2,234 yards and was named the
USA Today Florida player of the year
as a senior at Miami Southridge High
School in 1993. “They were hitting
and hitting until the end. I just kept on
tryingto turn this game around. I wasn’t
keeping up with the yards.”
McCamey, however, was.
“There are thousands and thou
sands of backs who have played col
lege football for over a hundred years,”
McCamey said. “To be a part of his
tory, I thought that was the least we
could do. He earned it. He deserved it.
I’m glad he got it.”
With just over one minute to play,
the Cyclones, trailing by 13 points and
buried deep in their own territory,
were faced with a fourth-down-and
nine play. Davis got the call, much to
the delight of the Iowa State fans. He
carried up the middle for two yards,
giving him 1,001 for the year, and he
left the field to a standing ovation.
“It’s a good feeling,” Davis said.
“But it’s not a good feeling when you
lose with it.”
McCamey said Davis’ accomplish
ment and Iowa State’s gutty perfor
mance against the Sooners were a step
toward respectability. But Davis, who
twice this season has topped 290 yards
in one game, cannot carry Iowa State
by himself, McCarney said.
“When you are trying to change
attitudes around,” he said, “you don’t
look for the little things and the indi
vidual things. You always try to keep
the big picture in mind. The big pic
ture is winning football games.”
Osborne
Continued from Page 7
terback if Berringer is not available
for the Missouri game.
“We’d rather not play Frankie be
cause he’s gone five games without
playing, andwe want to redshirt him,”
Osborne said.
The offensive line would have been
hurt, Osborne said, by playing last
Saturday. Guards Steve CHt and Aaron
Taylor suffered sprained ankles in
practice last week, and left tackle Chris
Dishman had pneumonia.
All three should be ready for Satur
day, Osborne said.
“We’re not terribly deep in the
offensive line, so if you miss two or
three of those guys, it makes a big
difference to you,” he said.
Ellis is still recovering from a bro
ken bone in his foot and is about a
week away from returning, Osborne
said. Second-string defensive lineman
Scott Saltsman has been injured and
may see limited action against Mis
souri.
Two players who really benefited
from the time offwere defensive tackle
Larry Townsend and I-back Clinton
Childs.
Townsend, who has been out since
the Michigan State game, will prob
ably play some this week, Osborne
said. Childs is still recovering from a
knee injury, but will play against Mis
souri as the third I-back. Both
Townsend and Childs returned to prac
tice Tuesday.
The top two I-backs will be Ahman
Green and Damon Benning, who along
with Childs are listed as tri-No. 1 I
backs on the depth chart.
Osborne said Green had been play
ing well, but Osborne won’t decide
who will start until later this week.
“The thing that is critical is how
much they play inagame.anditdoesn’t
make much difference who starts,”
Osborne said. “The guy who plays the
majority of the time is really the guy
you rely on.”
Benning has the most experience,
but Green has shown more confidence
in his running the last three games,
Osborne said.
“At first I think he was a little
tentative because he wasn't sure what
he was doing,” Osborne said. “But die
last two or three weeks we’ve seen a
lot more confident, a lot more aggres
sive player.”
NOTE:
• Split end Brendan Holbein in
jured his lower back in practice on
Tuesday. Defensive tackle Christian
Peter returned to practice. Coach Tom
Osborne said he hoped quarterback
Brook Berringer and MIKE linebacker
Phil Ellis would be back in practice by
the end of the week.
