NCAA football to start Saturday Nebraska, Texas A&M will play in annual Kickoff Classic

Annual Kickoff Classic at Giants
The Associated Press
No. 2 Nebraska, which defeated Penn State 44-6 in the first Kickoff Classic and is the first team to appear a second time, has won at least nine games in each of the last 19 seasons. The Cornhuskers' 16-2 record in 1987 marked their 26th win over Alabama, the NCAA record they now share with Penn State (1980-84) and Alabama (1858-83).
Texas A&M's streak isn't quite that remarkable, but the No. 10 Aggies have won three consecutive Southwest Conference titles. Nebraska, despite its impressive numbers, hasn't won the Big Eight crown
outright since 1983 and hasn't shared it since 1984.
It's a good thing Jackie Sherill is Texas A&M's athletic director as well as football coach. Otherwise, Sherll probably would be at odds over adding the Cornhoppers to an already suicide adjacency in Alabama and Oklahoma State. Only Alabama is a home game.
Sherrill concedes that "the schedule is the most difficult we've ever played. Nobody can accuse us of dodging anyone."
But he said, "I strongly believe that it does a team more harm to play easy non-conference opponents early. When conference play begins, you are not meant as read out as you are to win. You still have tough games under your belt.
"It it might hurt you in the polls, but the real gauge of how good a team is is how well it finishes."
Nebraska's Tom Osborne agrees
with Sherrill that "competition makes you better, if you can avoid serious injuries. If we play well, we'll be a better team and we'll benefit
After Texas A&M, the Huskers play Utah State, followed by what appear to be tough games against UCLA and Arizona State.
"I think that right now on paper, I'm going to be in Osborne. "I beat a Muh Lahm State, UCLA and Arizona State, we re-off and running. We've got a lot of stuff."
Obserne said he would not have scheduled this game if he didn't have an experienced quarterback. And in the league, he has one of the best in the country.
Last year, Taylor passed for 902 yards and 13 touchdowns and ran for 658 yards and eight scores, a major success in the inning in scoring and in rushing.
Sherrill plans to use three quarterbacks this season — sophomores Bucky Richardson, a fine runner, and Lance Pavlas, a slick passer, plus junior Chris Osgod, a transfer from Mississippi who does some of everything.
"We should be better on offense than we were last year," Sherrill said, "and just about as good on defense. John Ropper leads probably the best corps of linebackers we've had here."
Roper, a first-tier All-American, will not be the only great linebacker to win the MVP. Dana Baitis and Adam Bob, defensive MVP in the Cotton Bowl, are in Roper's class, and so are are in Corderick Thomas and LeRoy Etienne.

Nebraka's most pressing question will be a redefinitive line. Tackles Neil Smith and Rohm Ruther went on to win the Cup, but Pete decided to forgive his senior year.

Wallyball is similar to volleyball. Teams of two or four persons hit a ball across a net. The court used for wallyball, however, is smaller, and players can play the ball off the walls of the gymnasium.
