Cornhusker defense strives to avenge loss to Washington
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said yesterday that his impressions of No. 2 Washington were no different than they were a year ago, when the Huskies shared the national championship with Miami.
The Cornhuskers played both of those teams a year ago, suffering their only losses in a 9-2-1 season. Osborne had rated Washington's offense better than that of the Hurricanes. He said it was a tosse-up or defense — both teams
Osborne expects to see more of the same when his No. 12 Cornhuskers, 2-0, travel to Seattle to meet the 2-0 Huskies in a nationally televised game Saturday night.
"Washington has an excellent football team," Osborne said. "I'm sure they're some different than last year because they have some personnel changes, but I can't see any obvious changes to me."
What impressed Osborne a year ago was the team speed on defense for both Washington and Miami.
"They seem to have great team speed again, which they had last year," the Husker coach said. "Very quick, very aggressive."
Osborne, whose team led 21-9 against Washington in Lincoln last year before fading in a 36-21 loss, said the Huskies would see a better defensive team from Nebraska than it did in 1991.
"I think we're a little more experienced on defense."
Osbome said. "Last year, early in the year we only had three or four starters returning. Simply inexperience was one of the biggest problems."
He said with more experience last year, the team might not have made some of the mistakes it made down the stretch and possibly could have held off Washington's late run.
Osborne said the scores of Washington's first two games, 31-7 against Arizona State and 27-10 against Wisconsin, may have left some of the Huskers' fans disappointed with the early season results, but they had played well to date.
"Down at Arizona State, which should have been a tough contest for them, they made it look very easy." Osborne said. "They had two or three touchdowns or interceptions in the end zone that were called back, and I think Washington scored one other touchdown that was called back by penalty. It could have been worse than what it was in terms of score."
He also said Wisconsin was an improved team with a good defense.
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State football coach Jim Walden tried to put the Bret Bielema incident to rest yesterday. But his players were not quite ready to follow suit.
Walden said he was satisfied with the apology he received from Iowa senior nose guard Bielema and Iowa coach Hayden Fry and was willing to forgive and forget.
he Associated Press
"There's really not any need to go any further with this thing," he said. "I'm certainly not going to. It'a a done deal with me, I'm through with it."
Bielema confronted Walden after Iowa beat Iowa State 21-7 Saturday for its 10th consecutive victory against the Cyclones. The co-captain used profanity in telling Walden how much he had enjoyed beating him during his college career.
Walden also said he would not bring it up before next year's game with Iowa. But that did not mean his players would not.
Post-game words cause Iowa riff
Some reporters overheard the comment and a television cameraman caught it on tape. On Monday, Bielema and Fry each sent telegrams to Walden apologizing for Bielema's language.
"I'm not going to be here, but the younger players are and they're not going to be forgetting," senior wide receiver Chris Spencer said.
Linebacker Malcolm Goodwin said Walden was
calmer than he would have been.
"If I was Coach Walden, I probably would have punched him in his face," he said.
Walden said he wanted to drop the matter mainly for Bielema's sake. He said he was certain that Bielema one day would regret it.
"If it was two coaches sparring, that would be one thing," Walden said. "But we've got a young man's life involved. I'd just say bag it. Sack our bags and let's get on with it."
Some of Walden's players were still angry, though, especially Goodwin. He called Bielema's action a cheap shot.
"I've heard stories about somebody making up quotes from Coach Walden and showing it to their players down there," he said. "That's just a bunch of crap because Coach Walden would never say anything bad about anybody's athletic program. He always wants to beat every team we play, but he's not going to take potshots at the players or at the coaches or anything like that."
Walden also said he did not know why some Iowa players would say that his team did not respect them.
"I would like to say to all those players down there, yes we do." Walden said. "We wouldn't play you as a coach. But if they want us to try hard to beat you. So yes, we respect you and we will continue to try to beat you — one day."
