Huskers ready for UT, A&M
By Shannon Heffelfinger
Senior staff writer
For the first time in two weeks, the
Nebraska volleyball team is preparing
to play a match at home. The
Cornhuskers are undefeated and
ranked third in the nation. Their coach
could pick up his 700* career win this
weekend.
The Huskers have several reasons
to smile in practice this week. And the
biggest reason doesn’t even arrive in
Lincoln until Friday.
NU will play host to No. 13 Texas
and No. 15 Texas A&M this weekend.
Nebraska Coach Terry Pettit said the
Texas teams offer NU its best compe
tition since Sept 4 when it battled No.
7 Stanford.
“What I saw in the players yester
day was something beyond being just
happy to be home,” Pettit said.
“The knowledge that we’re play
ing great competition this weekend
has them very excited.”
As Nebraska prepares for the chal
lenging weekend, several Huskers are
playing as well as they have all season.
Senior middle blocker Megan
Korver currently leads the country in
hitting percentage at .470. Against
Iowa State Sept. 25, Korver became
only the 10* player in Division! histo

a match.
NU setter Fiona Nepo broke the
school career assist record two weeks
ago.
Pettit said the great individual per
formances have lead to consistent
team play.
The Huskers are second in the
nation with a .348 team hitting per
centage. Nebraska is also the second
best blocking team in the country with
four blocks per game.
“It’s a sign of maturity, and it’s a
sign that Fiona just will not let teams
run away from us,” Pettit said.
“It’s also a sign of our depth. We
are able to substitute to our strengths.
People know that other players can
come off die bench if we need it”
After consistently playing 13 play
ers the first few weeks of die season,
Pettit has settled on a nine-player rota
tion: Jaime Krondak, Angie Oxley and
Mandy Monson on the left side;
Korver, Tonia Tauke and freshman
Jenny Kropp in the middle; Nepo at
the setter spot and Nancy Meendering
on the right side.
Pettit said the Huskers are as
healthy as they’ve been all season -
and at just the right time.
‘Texas is one of about six teams in
the country that has the physical talent
to compete for the national champi
onship,” Pettit said. “And A&M is the
surprise team of the conference. We all
thought they might not be as good as
they have been in the past, but this
looks like their best team in several
years. The team is excited.”
Jackson progresses at linebacker

The quarterback looks up at the
sky from his back, trying to get up,
wishing the pain would go away. He’s

That’s a
scene that Will

Jackson “It feels great
to see the quarterback knocked out,
struggling to get up,” Jackson said.
“Having just knocked out a couple of
snot balls.”
Jackson, a University of
Nebraska-Lincoln junior from
I
Gainesville, Texas, is making a name
for himself in opposing offenses’
backfields this season while becom
ing a solid member of the NU line
backing corps.
As a back-up to Eric Johnson,
Jackson provides quality depth at a
position where he and Johnson are
close to being interchangeable,
Linebacker Coach Craig Bohl said.
“(Jackson) can play during the
course of the game and when the
game is on the line,” Bohl said. “He’s
developed into a guy we feel can
come in and play in any situation.”
Taking advantage of his increased
playing time this season, Jackson has
flourished, recording 10 tackles, two
sacks for 19 yards in losses and four
quarterback hurries.
Jackson has come on since the
spring game this past season. One

tributed to his success this season has

been senior captain Jay Foreman.
“Foreman has helped me out a
lot,” Jackson said. “I go to him when
I need advice. He helps me prepare
mentally.”
Foreman describes Jackson as
having a tremendous amount of
speed, creating exciting, big plays all
over the field.
Bohl agrees with Foreman’s
assessment, citing Jackson’s excel
lent strength, explosiveness and
quickness that leads to his spirited
play.
Though Jackson creates terror on
the field, off the field he’s easygoing.
He describes himself as unique with a
great personality, and he has friends
of all kinds.
The psychology major serves as
vice president of the Student Athlete
Advisory Board. He is a 1998 Brook
Berringer Citizenship Team member
and an active volunteer in the Husker
Outreach Program.
There has never been much doubt
about his athleticism, either Foreman
has never questioned Jackson's phys
ical ability, and with the mental part
of his game coming around he can
only get better.
“He’s going to start making more
big plays when he gets more confi
dent,” Foreman said. “It’s only a mat
ter of time before he starts to play real
well. It’s his time to play real well
now.”
