Tuesday afternoon at The Print Shop Restaurant in Salt Lake City, these past trollies of grid history and the significant points that will make history this week came to a head. Utah State Nebraska ' This week Utah State travels to meet highly-rate- d Nebraska for the Cornhuskers opening game. Coach Tom Osborne of Nebraska was in position Tuesday, to answer questions posed him over the phone. Osborne noted the " following: We respect Utah State and they feel as I do that they should have beaten San Jose State. Osborne feels his pass defense at Nebraska is going to be tested by the Aggies but is anxious to finally play a game after all the practice. Concerning his tight end, Junior Miller, Osborne said, Hes doing fine after the eye irritations hes had. It hasnt been anything real serious and hes been suited up for practice the past few weeks. One reporter asked Osborne how be felt about this years team ranking with the championship team Nebraska sported in 1971, After a game or two well know a lot more. We will be good. Well be starting out with an unproven quarterback and should have a good defense but wont really know until a couple of games. About his quarterback, Osborne, said, Hes played well in the pro season and compares well with other quarterbacks in the past But theres a difference between playing in ball games and practicing but we fell hell do a job for us. You can tell those Utah State people we plan on running our wishbone against them. Coach Bruce Synder of Utah State felt that as soon as his team can forget the frustrating tie with San Jose State, the better off theyd be. The cast on Dave Englands hand may prevent him from playing for at least five ,weeks, and against his brother who plays for Nebraska. Defensive tackle Mike Perko will not start after an injury to his shoulder and will possibly miss the entire season. Snyder says his biggest concern in playing Nebraska is being able to protect Eric Hippie. If Eric is protected hell be able to ' get the pass off. Washington Utah The University of Washington head mentor says the biggest concern for him is the offensive explosion that the Utes possess. Utah plays football like it should be played and were looking forward to playing them. byu Weber State BYU mentor, La Veil Edwards said Danny Frazier, who suffered a broken neck in last weeks battle over Texas A and M is on his road to a good recovery. He doesnt feel Dannys chances to are very play football again likely. He said the game against the Aggies was one of the most unusual games he had ever been involved in, in that they had a number of opportunities to lose the ballgame. We didnt have a great number of opportunities to win the game but when we got them we capitalized. The sequence leading up to that final three minutes was almost dike a hollywood script. First the Aggies held us. Then Clay Brown, who had a fantastic night punting the ball kicked it down to their five yard line. They ran three plays and we held them to no yards at all. They then went into a punt formation and we set up a block kick and executed it perfectly. The ball came out to the 15 or 20 and we threw a couple of passes then lost a yard running. Then on a delayed action play, got the touchdown. ; Thinking about it now . we should have let the clock wind down. The decision to go for two points after a touchdown came before we ever even got the six points. : Marc (Wilson) thought be had the play to get us the two points even though Doug Scouvil, our offensive coordinator didnt quite agree at first Marc went with his plim and later Mike Lacy made a beautiful catch for the game winning points. The thing that surprised me tiie most was the way we controlled the fourth quarter and were perhaps better conditioned than the A and M players. Edwards insisted that Gary Kama had one of the most outstanding games he had ever seen at linebacker. He was in attendance at the Big Four Continued on Page 4 |
