Remembering past Texas matchups,
Huskers look for revenge Saturday
By Matthew Hansen
Staff writer
Ask any Comhusker to name the
low point of the ’98 season, and he
will likely point to last year’s Texas
game. As the Huskers trudged off
Tom Osborne Field last Halloween on
the short end of a 20-16 score,
Nebraska’s 47-game home winning
streak became a thing of the past.
Senior cornerback Ralph Brown
said the Huskers carried the responsi
bility of an entire program’s disap
pointment squarely on their shoulders
9S they exited the field. ~ -
“There was a lot of agony, a lot of
agony of defeat,” Brown said. “I felt
we let a lot of people down, let our
selves down. I fejt we let our fans
down, let this university down by los
ing at home... a lot of us felt like cry
ing after the game because we let so
many people down.”
As Nebraska prepares to take on
. the Longhorns on Saturday in Austin,
the Huskers have not forgotten the
events of a year ago. At Nebraska’s
weekly press conference on Tuesday,
one word was uttered by player after
player: revenge.
Motivation for this weekend’s
«
A lot of us felt like crying after the game
because we let so many people down ”
Ralph Brown
NU senior comerback
contest shouldn’t be hard to come by,
said junior guard Russ Hochstein.
“I would say that more than any
thing, we’re excited.to play them
again,” Hochstein said.
“Us revenging the loss is our main
thing. Most of the guys here would
say that we would love to beat them
and get back to where we belong.
That’s how we are all thinking this
week.”
Ralph Brown said the memory of
last year as well as the inaugural Big
12 Championship game won by Texas
in 1996 are both motivating factors.
“I remember my freshman year
when we lost to them (in the Big 12
Championship), when we could’ve
gone to the national championship,”
Brown said. “I remember last year
when they beat us at home. They’ve
just ruined a lot of things for us.”
Carlos Polk echoed Brown’s sen
timents when asked if the previous
Texas losses were motivation for this
year’s team.
“Oh yeah, I mean, right now we
are 0-2 against those guys,” Polk said.
“This year all we seek is blood.”
Coach Frank Sojich downplayed
the revenge factor. He said that the
main focus of his team should be on
preparing to play a top-notch oppo
nent and not on past games.
His players agree, of course, and
said Tuesday they will continue to
prepare for this year’s Texas team.
Don’t tell them to forget about past
losses to the Longhorns, though.
Center Dominic Raiola conveyed
the anxiousness of the Huskers as
they attempt to break their two-game
losing streak to Texas on Saturday.
“I want to beat them so bad. I just
can’t wait for Saturday to be here
already.”
