Newcombe to enter fall camp as No. 1 quarterback
NEWCOMBE from page 7
Turman had the highest grade when
(Tommie) Frazier and (Brook)
Berringer were here. If we went by
grades alone, there would be a lot of
changes around here.”
Gill said more could change in the
fall if Newcombe gets hurt or per
forms poorly in practices. But ulti
mately, Gill said, Newcombe won’t
likely be replaced.
“It’s Bobby’s job to lose,” Gill
.
said. “He’s the No. 1 guy. But he still
has to go out and perform.”
As for the No. 2 guy, Crouch,
Solich said the Omdha native provid
ed NU with quality depth despite his
inexperience.
“He’s really performed well,”
Solich said. “And he’s still going to be
able to compete at that position.”
For the starter, Newcombe, Solich
said the summer will give him a
chance to work on his throwing and
prepare for the fall season.
“I think he’s a very good quarter
back,” Solich said. “He’s a much bet
ter thrower than people believe. He’s
got a great arm, and I think his timing
and accuracy is very good.”
Newcombe said the summer will
be important to his development at
quarterback.
“I’ll be up here for four months,”
Newcombe. “I want to work as much
as possible.”

Soccer star to coach
By Jay Saunders
Assignment Reporter
Last season, Rebecca Hombacher
was stopping shots for the Nebraska
soccer team.
In the fall, Hombacher will be
teaching goalkeepers at Baylor how
to stop shots from Comhusker attack
ers.
Hombacher, NU’s starting goal
keeper for the last three years, accept
ed a job as a graduate assistant under
Baylor Coach Randy Waldrum.
Hombacher will have a lot of differ
ent coaching obligations, but she will
be working mostly with the goalies.
But Hombacher said that she is
excited about being at Baylor not
only because she gets to coach soc
cer, but because she will get to con
tinue her education.
“This might be able to open some
doors for a coaching position some
time down the road,” she said.
Waldrum, who will be entering
his third year at Baylor, has compiled
a 31-9-1 record in the last two sea
sons with the Bears. He said he is
excited to have Hombacher on next
year’s staff.
“Anytime you can get an All
American from a program as success
ful as Nebraska,” Waldrum said, “you
have to be excited. Successful coach
es surround themselves with good
people. (Hombacher) certainly fits
that description.”
Hombacher already has Nov. 2
circled on her calendar. That is when
the Huskers will travel to Waco,
Texas, to play Baylor. Hombacher
said she will be a little nervous for
that game, but considering NU coach
John Walker told her about the Baylor
position, going against Nebraska
won’t be too much of a problem.
