Big Eight monsters to collide Saturday
By Tom Vint The Associated Press
There will be some serious contact when No. 2 Colorado and No. 3 Nebraska bash heads on Saturday.
LINCOLN, Neb. — Check those helmets and pads, and make sure they're ready to take a beating.
Nebraska's offensive line, considered one of the best in the country, will go against Colorado's defense, also considered one of the best. And Colorado's offensive line, possibly the best in school history, will go against a Cornhusker line with two of the strongest players ever to wear Nebraska jerseys.
Nebraska's two 300-pound senior offensive tackles — Zatechka and Zach Wiegert — will be going head-tohead with Colorado defenders Shannon Clavelle (6-foot-3-inch, 275 pounds) and Darius Holland (6-5, 285 pounds).
"As it stands right now, I think Colorado is going to have the best defensive line that we're going to see all year," Rob Zatchke said. "I'm not sure it's a cause for concern. It's a reason to be as well prepared as we can."
"I know both those guys are some of the biggest, strongest defensive linemen we're going to face," Zatechka said. "They also started playing quite young, so they have a lot of experience."
Zatechka and Wiegert are veterans
of the trenches, too, as is junior center Aaron Graham (6-4, 28). They'll have help from guards Brenden Stai (6-5, 30), considered one of the top NFL prospects in the country, and Joel Wilks (6-3, 28).
Nebraska's offense has a nationleading 390-yard rushing average. Colorado's defense has allowed only 98 yards a game on the ground.
Something has to give.
Cornhusker quarterback Brook Berringer thinks it will be the Buffaloes.
"I watched the tape of the K-State game," he said. "I think they've got a good defense. I don't think it's anything that we won't be able to move the ball against or put up some points against."
Nebraska running back back Lawrence Phillips, who has the nation's third-best rushing average with 154 yards a game, agrees. He has run for 100 or more yards in each of Nebraska's eight games.
"They just keep getting better all year," Phillips said of his blockers. "They've been doing a great job despite how hard it's been for them."
On the other side, Colorado's offensive tackles Tony Berti and Derek West, guards Health Irwin and Chris Naele, and center Bryan Stoltenberg will try to keep control of Husker tackles Terry Connealy and Christian Peter. Stoltenberg is the "lightweight" at 6-2, 265.
Drakulya by Earl Lee
Far more than a simple retelling of the familiar tale, this highly literate vampire novel is a multifaceted psychological exploration of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The author is a professor at Pittsburg, Kansas, and an expert on vampire lore and literature.
