Heskew, offensive line in gear after Husky win Anonymous letter provides fuel to the fire'for one ofNU’s captains By David Wilson Senior staff writer A letter was tacked to the bulletin board outside the Nebraska football locker room early last week. 1 The envelope - postmarked Orlando, Fla. - was addressed ---- to “Ms. Josh Heskew,” the Comhuskers’ senior center. “Congratulations, Josh,” it reads. “You are the captain of the worst offensive line in Nebraska football history. Hope your team mates are proud.” Also included were some predictions: “Washington 24, Huskers 0. Season: 7-5.” The offensive line didn’t exactly take the words to heart, Heskew said, but it did _ add some “fuel to the fire.” HiltiV;’*- In a 55-7 win over eighth-ranked , ' V Washington on Saturday, the NU offensive line proved at least one critic wrong, paving the way for a 434 yard Husker rushing performance. “I think anytime you can rush for over 400 yards against the No*8teaip in the nation, that should silence some people,” Heskew said. “We just have to keep up the intensity for the rest ofthe season.”: Though it hadn’t been accomplished this season, Heskew said, tiie offensive line's goal every week is to help Nebraska put mi 400 yards on the ground. NlTs previous rushing high came in its season opener against Louisiana Tech, when the Huskers ran for 289 yards. “It’s a little bonus to do it against the No. 8 team in the nation,” junior tackle Jason Schwab said. “I think we madfe a big statement with our rush ing game.” Washington attempted to confUse the Husker offensive line by “stemming” - jumping positions on the line after Nebraska came set. But the Huskers, NU rvrr__t •_n_l v/xivudivw LfixxV' v^uavu Milt Tenopir said, were prepared for the Husky defensive schemes. They countered by snapping the ball on the quarterback’s first sound - often before the Husky linemen were set - or by waiting until UW was done moving. “If we went on the sound, we’d catch them in the middle of a stem,” Heskew said. “They’d be off balance, and we’d knock the crap out of them.” The end result, Tenopir said, was the offensive line’s best game of the season. But that’s to be expected. “You’re supposed to play better each game,” Tenopir said. “And I think we have. They played well and very aggressive.” Schwab agreed. “Our goal is to improve each game,” Schwab said. “A lot of teams beat a big top-notch team, and they think their season is over and their season is going to be successful. That’s not the way it works. ii counts as one win. i nai aoesn x mean you re gomg xo win it all. Our goal is to be in Tempe (Ariz.) on Jan. 4.” Success came Saturday with the help of big plays, a rested offensive line and good execution, Heskew said. But Schwab also credited the togetherness of the Husker linemen. “Our unity is unbelievable,” Schwab said. “We’re all so tight. We’re all for one. That’s just the way it is. We’re a real big family. “Heskew, he’s coming along as a leader. He’s our leading senior, along with (seniors Ben) Gessford and Brant Wade. They’ve showed tremendous leadership qualities, and that helps us come together as a unit.” The younger and more inexperienced linemen have stepped up, too, Tenopir said, but all three seniors have shown leader ship qualities - including Heskew. “He keeps them going and he keeps them fired up,” Tenopir said. An occasional letter doesn’t hurt either. « If we went on the sound, wed catch them in the middle of a stem. Theyd be off balance, and wed knock the crap out of them.” Josh Heskew NU center 402-472-2588' 402-472.1761 (FAX) . dn@unl edu $3.50/15 words (students) $0.15 each additional word 34 Nebraska Union $0.75 billing charge P.O.
