Ryan Sod»rlin/DN NEBRASKA’S Erwin Swiney fights control of the football with Central Florida’s Todd Cleveland in the Huskers’ 38-24 victory Saturday. NU drills UCF after slow start FOOTBALL from page b Peterson sau! “I felt like a totally different person in the second half.” NU defensive coordinator Charlie McBride said he wanted to wake up the defense at the half. “We got better as the game went on,” McBride said. “I wasn’t satis fied in the first half,. We looked tired. “In the second half, I think we finally started getting some pretty good pressure on their quarterback. I liked the look the defense had in their eyes going into the second half. They were more intense and played with a bit more fire.” The NU defense tightened up in the second half, allowing the Knights only five yards on their first two drives and forcing UCF to punt both times. Central Florida found the end zone only once in the second half with 7:17 remaining in the game. While UCF offense was strug gling, the Nebraska offense started rolling. NU tied the score when Brown kicked a 21-yard field goal with 10:20 remaining in the third quarter. Freshman I-back Correll Buckhalter added two more NU touchdowns in the third with runs of 13 and 5 yards. Buckhalter finished the game with a career-best 11 car ries for 82 yards, while Nebraska junior I-back Ahman Green led all rushers with 113 yards on 25 carries. Buckhalter, a true freshman from Mt. Olive, Miss., said he’s comfortable coming into the game at any time. ? “I think I’ve adjusted well to the college level,” Buckhalter said. With Nebraska ahead 31-17, the teams traded touchdowns again in the fourth quarter to end scoring at 38-24. McBride said the win over Central Florida was a good learning experience for the Huskers, who play No. 2 Washington Saturday in Seattle. Nebraska fell one spot to sixth in The Associated Press Top 25 and one spot to fifth in the coaches’ poll. “You don’t take anybody for granted,” McBride said. “Sometimes when you hear how weak your schedule is over and over, your younger players sleep on a team like this.” ^rv ^^B ^ Counseling dr Psychological Services, 472-7450 - ^B :^tEating Disorders Education Group <^^B — 4 /earn approach for individuals with ca finer disorders _ B medical aspects Tuesdays, Sept. 30-Oct. 28j^^B^ B ‘exercise guidelines 3:30-4:45 p.m. ~~^^B ^healthy nutritional needs UHC, Rm.

NU coach Robin Krapfl said her team’s finish at the Chip-N Club Invitational last week left a bad taste in the mouth of the Huskers. This weekend provides an opportunity to rectify the problems, she said. “We really felt like we didn’t play as well as we could have in our own tournament,” Krapfl said. “We kind of expected to win by just showing up, and that didn’t happen. We’re going to be a lot more focused on what we have to do this week.” Krapfl said the Huskers made some mental mistakes early in the tournament that could be chalked up to first-day jitters. Hopefully, she said, those problems are over. We were a little nervous in the first tournament because it was ours and we hadn’t tested ourselves yet,” Krapfl said. “We’ve have most of that out of our system.” Senior Shirin Homecker is lead ing the Huskers this season. Homecker finished fifth overall at the Chip-N Club Invitational. “Shirin is playing really well right now and striking the ball as well as possible,” Krapfl said. “She’s starting to move into the role where she can play really strong in every tournament.” Another player who has stepped up her play early in the season is junior Gretchen Doerr, who shot her career best in the first week. Krapfl said Doerr has developed into a solid performer for the Huskers. “She’s finding a way to put her game together and is also hitting the ball very well right now,” she said. “She looks like she can become a big part of this team.” For the most part, Krapfl said, the team has to work mainly on its short game, which will be critical for its tournament in Texas. “We have to putt and chip the ball better than we have been doing,” Krapfl said. “We had been practicing so well on the short game, but it did n’t translate well into the tourna ment.” Missouri, which won the Chip-N Club Invitational, and Texas Tech will provide the Huskers with their main competition this week. “We have as good of a chance to win as anyone does right now,” she said. “If we play smart, we can win.” Soccer team loses to Texas, Texas A&M SOCCER from page 10 h goalkeeper. “We talked a lot after Friday, and the team resolved to have a better effort against A&M,” Walker said. “But effort alone isn’t going to win ballgames. We just need to finish.” The 1-2 conference mark is the first time that NU has had a losing record in the Big 12. The Huskers will try and get back to their winning ways with a game against Iowa State on Thursday night at the Abbott Sports Complex. “We are dying to get out and play another game,” Walker said. “Championships aren’t won in the first two weeks of September.”
