Offense needs time to gel
Frost says first
unit has potential
to become lethal
By Trevor Parks
Senior Reporter
In Nebraska’s quest for an unprec
edented third straight national title, it
may be safe to say the defense will be
Outstanding, but
how long will it
take the offense to
reach that same
level?
Maybe a
couple of games,
said Scott Frost,
the probable start
ing quarterback
when the No. 1
Fmat I r a n k e a
Comhuskers open
their season Sept.
7 at Memorial Stadium against Michi
gan State.
“Last year, the offense was sup
posed to be the dominantfactor on the
team, and the defense had sane ques
tion marks,” Frost said.
“By the end of the year, the defense
came around. Slowly but surely they
developed into one of the best defenses
in the country. The offense has the ca
pability of doing that.
“It might take a couple of games to
get to the level to win a Big 12 cham
pionship or a national championship,
but our defense will be good enough
to carry us.”
Getting used to life without once
in-a-generation quarterback Tommie
Frazier and I-back Lawrence Phillips
will be the biggest change.
But Frost and sophomore Ahman
Green, who ran for 1,086 yards as a
freshman, are prepared to defend NU’s
25-game winning streak, which in
cludes six wins over top 10 teams.
The offensive line—a giant ques

tion marie to begin 1995 — lost only 1
center Aaron Graham and guard Steve
Ott. Eric Anderson, Jon Zatechka,
Chris Dishman, Aaron Taylor and
Adam Tteuwill lead the Huskers up
front. Thylor, an All-Big-Eight selec
tion at guard, has moved to center.
Brian Schuster returns as an experi
enced fullback, and Brendan Holbein
and John Vedral, a seasoned pair of
wide receivers, also return.
No. 1 tight end Tim Carpenter, a
junior, injured his knee in the spring
and may not be ready for the first game,
creating opportunities for sophomore
Sheldon Jackson and junior Vershan
Jackson.
Treu, a first-year starter, said the
offense may take a few weeks to gel.
“I don’t want to say we are going to
come out right away; we may take a
game or two, who knows?” Treu said.
‘‘As great a coach as Coach (Tom)
Osborne is, it may take him a little
while to figure out what is going to
lappen.”
Last season, the offense averaged
52.4 points per game and never scored
fewer than 35. On the ground, the of
fense picked up 400 yards each time
out—winning its second straight rush
ing title and 12th overall—and aver
aged 556 yards of total offense.
Those numbers were capped off
with a 62-point performance in the Fi
esta Bowl rout of Florida.
Although NU hit on all cylinders
[hat night, not everything worked to
perfection, Schuster said.
Frost, the first-team offensive player
with the least experience, said he hoped
to find his role in the season-opener.
“They won 12 games last year run
ning this offense,” Frost said. “I just
want to play my role in this offense as
we go after more wins this year.
“The longer people are going to
underestimate our offense, the better
off we are going to feel about it.”
