KSU comerback eyes Frazier
By Mike Kluck
Staff Reporter “
Joe Gordon isn’t worried that his
name isn’t known to Nebraska quar
terback Tommie Frazier before Sat
urday. ,
Mate junior
corncrback only
wants to make
sure Frazier re
members the
name Joe Gordon
after the game
against the sec
ond-ranked
■ J.LflH Lornhuskers.
Gordon Gordon said he
thought he would have a few oppor
tunities to introduce himself to the
Nebraska signal-caller while helping
the Wildcat defense try to stop
Nebraska’s No. 1-ranked rushing of
fense.
“1 like to come up and hit because
most teams don’t expect it,” Gordon
said. “I like to support the run, and
this week I’m pretty sure I’ll have my
fair share of opportunities.”
Studying the Huskers offense, es
pecia! ly Tommie Frazier, has become
a constant for Gordon since the end of
the Wildcats’ 23-17 victory over
Oklahoma State last Saturday.
“Tommie is a great athlete, and
he’s a guy that will make you study
him,” Gordon said. “You need to be
prepared because if you’re not pre
pared, the scoreboard will indicate
it.”
Although Gordon has played
against Frazier only once — a Ne
braska 45-28 win in 1993 — he said
Frazier was an improved quarterback.
Gordon said Frazier has continued to
show a lot of confidence since last
year’s national championship game
against Miami, a 24-17 Husker vic
tory.
Gordon also said Frazier was a
good leader and disciplined football
player. Frazier is also aided, Gordon
said, by having good running backs.
“Tommie Frazier can cause some
problems,” Gordon said. “He’s the
type of guy that’s a threat anytime —
by the pass or by the run. With the
great running backs Nebraska has,
you have to play him very smart.
“You have to be disciplined when
you play Tommie Frazier because he
can pull up and throw it; or he can
keep it and tuck it; or he can toss it at
the last minute. He really keeps you
playing him honest,” he said. “I think
it’s going to take a lot of preparation
and a lot of hard work to match up to
these guys and play a good solid
football game.”
So far this season the Wildcats
have played solid defense. They lead
the nation in scoring defense, allow
ing only 7.5 points a game. And they
are ranked No. 1 in total defense,
giving up only 199.8 yards a game.
Gordon has been consistently solid
since last season, when he was named
as a first-team All-Big Eight
comerback. This season, he leads the
Big Eight in pass breakups with nine,
and he has 22 total tackles.
In the last four games, Gordon and
the other Wildcat defensive backs
have allowed only 96 yards passing.
Kansas State has allowed only 630
yards passing this year, first in the
nation.
Despite Kansas State’s success so
far this season, Gordon is predicting
a difficult game for the Wildcats.
Nebraska ranks first in the nation
in rushing offense and total offense,
and is second in scoring offense, av
eraging 55.3 points a game.
“It will be another hard fought
game every minute,” Gordon said. “I
know it’s going to boil down to the
team that wants it the most. We’ll
just go in with our game plan. We
won’t sit on our heels.”
Newcomers
Continued from Page 7
Kansas State is ranked third na
tionally in rushing defense, and
first in scoring defense and to
tal defense.
“It’s just something I had to
do,” Green said. “It feels good.
It’s another game and another
challenge for me.”
Playing a high-profile posi
tion for a top-notch program
was overwhelming at first,
Green said, but he said it was a
challenge he wanted to con
quer.
With 615 yards on 66 at
tempts, the former high school
All-American from Omaha
Central ranks second behind
Calvin Jones—who ran for 900
yards in 1991 — on the all-time
Nebraska freshman rushing
charts.
He is averaging 9.3 yards
per attempt and has scored eight
touchdowns in addition to earn
ing a spot on the Huskers’ No. 1
kickoff return unit.
“I picked up a lot of stuff in
the first couple of weeks and
first couple of games,” said
Green, Nebraska’s leading
rusher. “I picked it up, and I
thought I was ready.”
Green said he was looking
forward to playing against one
of the top defenses in the coun
try.
“I dreamed about this much
earlier than high school,” he
said. “All my family and friends
will be watching.”

Nebraska loses to Texas A&M
From Staff Reports
The Nebraska soccer team lost to
lOth-ranked Texas A&M 2-0
Wednesday at the Aggie Soccer Com
plex in College Station, Texas.
Aggie sophomore forward Bryn
Blalack scored 29 minutes into the
first half, the only goal scored by
cither team before halftime.
In the second half Blalack, Texas
A&M’s leading scorer, scored 62
minutes into the match to give 13-3
Texas A&M a 2-0 lead. The Aggies
are ranked second in the Central Re
gion.
Nebraska, 8-6, attempted seven
shots on goal compared to 14 shots
for the Aggies.
The Huskers will play host to
Brigham Young Friday at 7 p.m. at
the Abbott Soccer Park Complex.
Sunday at noon, Nebraska will con
clude its home season against Texas.
Blomstedt
Continued from Page 7
Although Blomstedt improved
throughout the season a year ago, she
said she was still apprehensive about
trying out for the junior national team.
“My coach started bugging me
about it,” she said. “He told me there
was a junior national competition in
Walnut, Calif. I wasn’t going to go. I
wanted to go home and relax for the
summer. It had been a long season.
But he just kept bugging me and
bugging me.”
Blomstedt said her second-place
finish at the Big Eight outdoor meet
motivated her to compete for a spot
on the national team.
“I couldn’t just be satisfied with
second place. Coach just showed me
that I really had a chance to win. A lot
of people go there, so I thought that I
wouldjustbe one-in-a-million. I never
thought that I would make it to the
Pan-American games.”
Blomstedt is one of the hardest
workers Smith said he had ever seen.
This summer, Smith coached
Blomstedt through daily 4-5 hour
practices, purposely scheduled in the
middle of the day to prepare her for
the heat and humidity she would find
in Chile.
“There are very few athletes who
are as motivated, dedicated and work
as hard as she does,” Smith said.
Phillips
Continued from Page 7
“It’s just killing me,” Phillips said.
Osborne said Phillips had held up
his end of the deal and was still
undergoing counseling twice a week.
He also meets with a psychiatrist
once a week.
The coach said the toughest part
of the situation was keeping Phillips
informed on his own status.
“The biggest thing I try to do is let
Lawrence know what’s going to hap
pen,” Osborne said. “One of the frus
trating things for me is that I haven’t
been able to let him know what’s
going to happen. There are so many
little things. He’s kind of been in
limbo, and it’s a difficult situation.
He really does need instruction.”
Osborne said he had concluded
that it would be in the best interest of
Phillips if the junior returned to foot
ball.
“You don’t want to take away the
one thing that has given the person
some sense of self-worth and some
sense of self-esteem,” Osborne said.
“Usually there is a problem with self
worth and self-esteem in abusive be
havior. If you take the one thing that
has given his life a sense of organiza
tion and meaning, then you’re not
going about it the right way.”
