Linebacker Odell Weidner
Weidner's drive makes up for size, injuries

There were a lot of things going against
Wendel in his fight to a starting
[kick]
By ALLENQUAKENBUSH
Weinhard suffered a knee injury in the Oklahoma State game last year and he was forced to miss spring drills this season. That, plus the fact that KU's two starting linebackers returned, meant that Wednesday work (work twice as hard to get a chance to start).
This was nothing new for him. He's
now a player with more than most
players. At 5-11, 210 pounds. We've
grown the of smallest linebackers in the Big Eight,
which are playing at size of with one
one leading the players to success.
And so he did.
"I never really thought it would be any harder to come back and start," Wedner said of his knee injury. "I guess I had enough confidence to think I could do it, but my friends were worse than the other guys, and I know that if I got a chance I would."
Weidner's enthusiasm is evident in practice. Unlike many players, he seems to enjoy practice, and he works harder than many players are willing to.
"I keeps getting back to the fact that I "have to work harder in drills," he said. I was in a lot of pain.
"I really like football and I enjoy playing Practice isn't all really that, but you can play it a lot better."
Wedner said his size wasn't always a savantage because he made a small team. He said they were good at it.
"When I get down low in my stance, it's hard for me to be blocked." Wedner said. "I'm pretty strong and stocky, and it's hard for people to knock me off balance."

Weldner is a public relations major and
KU's football team went through another hard workout on a cold and windy afternoon yesterday in preparation for their final weekend, against top-ranked Oklahoma.
Couch DarnFamble said senior Bruce Adams, wide receiver, was the only member of the team who wouldn't be able to catch a pass. His knee in last week's rame at Colorado.
"Okahama is so explosive on offense," Fambridge said. "Joe Washington is just a fantastic back. Anytime he touches the ball, he is a threat to score a touchdown.
Coach wants errorless game
"Rod Shatee is one of the premium linebackers in the country. But it is their offensive and defensive lines that make Oklahoma such an awesome team. They are as big and physical as Texas A&M, and they are even quicker. They are just fantastic."
Fambroug said he hoped the 'Hawks would play errorless football and that they could win.
"I don't care for playing in this cold weather but I feel so much better to worry about it but both of them, he said."
