Seniors say farewell
By Antone Oseka
Senior Reporter
When a person plays college foot
ball, sometimes he never wants to leave
the field.
Like Saturday, when it was the play
ers’ last home game in front of 76,000
adoring fans in a place where they have
never known defeat.
It gets to you, whether you’re an
intimidating defensive lineman or the
swift-footed quarterback.
£ “I left everything I had on the field,”
• senior NU quarterback Scott Frost said.
“This is where somebody who’d want to
play football should come. It’s nice to
, see the appreciation.”
Frost, who shouldered much of the
^ blame and media pressure for last year's
( loss at Arizona State, has led the
JrtusKers 10 a iu-u record mis season.
When the Stanford transfer from Wood
River was announced, the fans stood
and applauded.
It was the last home game for 23
Nebraska seniors, including 11 starters.
“It was tough, it was emotional,”
NU defensive tackle Jason Peter said.
“No matter what happens, I’ve had
wonderful memories here. It was tough
walking off that field.
“All good things come to an end,
you know.”
This group of seniors has gone 46-2
over the last four years, including two
national titles and an undefeated season
so far this year. They have never been
defeated at home nor been ranked lower
than sixth at the end of the season.
“It was really tough, trying to choke
everything back, but we hada ballgame
to play,” Wistrom said. “I just tried to
soak everything in one last time - one
last tunnel walk, one last time walking
out in front of the fans.”
The best part, Wistrom said, was the
special announcement every senior got,
and the chance to thank 25-year Husker
Coach Tom Osborne.

NEBRASKA COACH Tom Osborne shakes hands with senior linebacker
Octavious McFarlin and wishes him well as he is introduced to the
Memorial Stadium crowd for his last home game as a Cornhusker.
“Getting introduced, giving Coach
Osborne a hug and saying thanks for
everything he’s ever done for me. Just
hearing the roar of the Memorial
Stadium crowd one more time,”
Wistrom said. “These are going to be
things that are tough to let go of.”
Peter and Wistrom agreed that if
they had the college experience to do all
over again, there would be no place like
Nebraska. Peter said he wouldn’t even
take his recruiting visits to any other
schools.
“No matter where I go or where I
end up, this place is always going to be
home to me,” Wistrom said. “If I could
do it all over again, I wouldn’t be wear
ing any other color than the red and
white.
“Whatever happens this year, we’re
not going to lose our next three games;
but even if we did, I’m enjoying what I
do. I love the guys I’m playing with.
Football just doesn’t get any more Hm.”
Notes:
Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne
underwent routine tests Sunday morn
ing at Bryan Memorial Hospital.
Osborne was treated for a slightly irreg
ular heartbeat, but it was not a life
threatening situation.
The 60-year old coach was given
medication, and he returned to work
Sunday afternoon where he and his staff
began preparing forthe Colorado game.
“I appreciate everyone’s concern,”
Osborne said “I am happy to say there
are no major complications with my
health. I am able to continue working as
normal.”
Nebraska junior I-back Ahman
Green was named the CNN/SI College
Football Player of the Week on Monday.
Green rushed for 209 yards on 15
attempts in the Huskers 77-14 win over
Iowa State on Saturday.
NU pins down solid weekend
ByAntone Oseka
Senior Reporter
Last weekend was a good start
to what Nebraska Wrestling Coach
Tim Neumann hopes to be a great
season for the Nebraska wrestling
team.
The Huskers opened their dual
season with a 27-3 win over
Wyoming in Laramie, Wyo., Friday
night. In open competition Saturday
and Sunday, individual wrestlers
pulled off big wins and big upsets.
Nebraska won all but one match
in the dual, as Brad Cooper substi
Etuted for the injured Temoer Terry
at 158 pounds and lost to
Wyoming’s Jeremy Sell 8-6.
Nebraska started the dual on a
roll and led 8-0 after just two
weights. Paul Gomez scored a
major decision with a 17-6 victory,
and Jeramie Welder kept that streak
alive with another major decision at
126, beating Corey Hamrick 15-6.
Brad Canoyer scored a win,
beating Bryce Bochy 6-5 in a match
Neumann said was one of the best
of the dual.
“It was a really hard-fought
win,” Neumann said of Canoyer’s
match. “All of Bochy’s points were
escapes. That was a great match.”
However, Canoyer won’t be able
to wrestle for a couple of weeks as
the 134-pounder from Griswold,
Iowa, injured his knee in Saturday’s
Cowboy Open in the first minute of
his first match. Neumann expects
Canoyer to sit out until the Las
Vegas Cliff Keen Championships
Dec. 5-6.
Neumann said he hopes his team
will be strong enough to wrestle
without a 134-pounder for the next
few weeks.
Two of Nebraska’s unsure
weights came through with dual
wins Friday night. Dusty Morris
(142) and Ryan Bauer (150) pulled
off one-point wins to extend the
lead to 17-0 before Cooper’s loss.
Morris, however, might be wor
ried about job security early in the
season. Fellow 142-pounder Jose
DeAnda “looked spectacular” the
whole weekend, Neumann said, -
For the dual, Monte Christensen
put NU back on the winning track at
167, beating Brandon Dansie 10-4
to extend Nebraska’s lead to 20-3.
Brad Vering and Scott Munson
would add wins at 177 and 190 to
end the scoring at 27-3.
Neither team sent a heavyweight
on to the match, resulting in a dou
ble forfeit. Neumann said he didn’t
send senior Ryan Tobin out to
accept the forfeit, because that will
get him another, match at the
NWCA All-Star dual later in the
season.
“We did a lot of great things,”
Neumann said. “It’s coming togeth
er real nice.”
The season started to come
together for one wrestler this week
end. Abe Boomer, a backup heavy
weight right.now, defeated No. 2
Shelton Benjamin of Minnesota 7-6
at an open meet in North Dakota.
He finished second while fellow
NU heavyweight J.R. Plienis fin
ished third.
“He did everything he was sup
posed to do,” Nebraska Assistant
Coach Mark Cody said. “He had a
good strategy going out there.”
Eddleman breaks from sore ankle
EDDLEMAN from page 7
ach.”
Because Eddleman is one of
the team’s emotional leaders, she
knew she had to play in the first
round NCAA game against
Michigan. f
Eddleman said not being able
to practice all week was frustrat
ing, but there was no way her
injury was going to keep her out
of the game with the Wolverines.
“Something has to be broken
for me to sit out,” Eddleman said.
Walker said he knew by
Thursday that Eddleman would
be able to play, but he held her
out of practice on Friday and
Saturday to make sure she didn’t
re-aggravate her ankle.
Eddleman limped at times
during the Michigan game-, but
she had quick bursts when she
needed to.
She dribbled around several
Wolverine players and set up Kim
Engesser at 28:18 for NU’s first
goal. She used a similar move to
score NU’s second goal at 31:21
into the game.
Eddleman scored again at
47:59. On this play, she tweaked
her ankle a little bit, but she said
it didn’t matter because the ball
went in.
“My ankle is a little sore, but
1 can play like lam 100 percent,”
Eddleman said:
She said she will get treat
ment twice a day and be ready to
perform in this Sunday’s game at
1:30 p.m. with No. 2 Notre Dame
in South Bend, Ind.
