Nebraska keeps respect despite defensive lapses
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Just because Louisiana Tech set all sorts of passing records against Nebraska last weekend, don't expect Big 12 coaches to rip all the running
schemes out of their playbooks when their teams play the Cornhuskers.
Most coaches said yesterday that they viewed
the 850 yards passing by Tim Rattay and the NCAA-record 405 yards received by Rob Edwards to be more of a display of their talent than the revelation of a gaping hole in the Nebraska defense.
After all, the Cornhuskers still won 56-27 Saturday, and most of the Bulldogs' big numbers came after Nebraska had built a 35-6 halftime lead.
was still in charge, in control," said Dan McCarney, Iowa State coach.
"But any time you see anybody put in those
"It was amazing to see all the vards—and vet, you felt Nebraska
numbers against a defense that's traditionally one of the best in college football, it opens your eyes."
Missouri coach observed:
"Louisiana Tech got a lot of yards and looked impressive doing it, but they still lost by batter than 20

points. It still comes down to who had control of the game and staying ahead."
Colorado led the Big 12 in passing offense in each of the league's first two years but doesn't face Nebraska until Nov. 27. Colorado coach Rick Neueisel doesn't expect the Cornhuskers' defense to be a pushover.
"I know those things will be shored up by the time we get there," he said.
— whose team faces Nebraska on Nov. 14 in what's already being hyped as the Big 12 game of the year
"I think they will go out and improve those things," Snyder said. "I think they know they are very, very capable and will get any mistakes corrected."
also expects new Nebraska coach Frank Solich to have the kinks worked out soon.
Kansas State coach Bill Snyder
The Cornhuskers will need to be fine-tuned by Oct. 3 when the team opens conference play in Kansas City against Oklahoma State.
"I think you have to give Louisiana Tech a lot of credit," said Bob Simmons, Oklahoma State coach. "Does that mean Nebraska is a vulnerable football team? I don't think so."
Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum had a different reason to swallow hard when he heard what Louisiana Tech had done to the Nebraska defense. The Aggies host the Bulldogs on Sept. 12.
"I can't really say I was surprised," Slocum said. "We've played Louisiana Tech before. They know what they're doing."
Uvalde High in South Texas in 1995. He chose Colorado with high hopes of starring in Coach Rick Neuheisel's pass-happy offense.
Colorado quarterback ends up at Texas A&M
Jeremy Weisinger could have gone to any college to play quarterback when he graduated from
This summer,
Weisinger was
one of three
players competing
to replace John
Hessler as the starting quarterback. When the job went to Mike Moschetti, Weisinger left school and returned to his home state.
Weisinger: Quarterback transfers to Texas A&M.
On Friday, he enrolled at Texas
A&M and talked to coach R.C. Slocem.
"He told me he wants to play football. He's not really concerned about (what position)," Slocum said. "We talked about the possibility of playing safety. He's receptive to that."
Weisinger, a junior, must sit out this season, leaving him only one year to play for the Aggies.
"What I've done is added a quality senior to our senior class next year." Slocum said.
Neueihisel said that Weisinger never directly gave him a play-memor-I'll-transfer ultimatum, but he knew it was a possibility.
"There were certain people who told me his father indicated that was a possible outcome if I chose the other kid," Neuheisel said. "But when you make decisions that affect your team ... the final analysis has to be about what is best for that position."
Big 12 on television
Three of this weekend's nine games involving league teams will be televised.
Texas Christian at Iowa State at 11:30 a.m. will be syndicated; NBC will show Oklahoma State at Kansas in the first league game
ot the year at 2:30 p.m. and ESPN will have the 9 p.m. battle between Colorado and Colorado State from Mile High Stadium in Denver.
Not in action
"the only Big 12 teams not playing on Saturday are Texas A&M, who played Florida State yesterday, and Baylor, who doesn't start until Sept. 12 against Oregon State.
Coaches quote
The best quote came from Texas Tech coach Spike Dykes, who offered this assessment of summer practices:
"I think the older you get, the more you worry about survival for the coaches. We all survived, so that's a plus, I guess."
Nebraska receives standout setter
The Associated Press
"My first winter, it was so cold. I was wearing three pairs of jeans and five sweatshirts," Nepo said. "I would come to practice and start stripping away all my clothes. My teammates laughed at me."
These days, it's opposing defenses that Nepo peels off the court. The 5-foot-9 senior setter is a two-time All-American, as chosen by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.
uous. After losing matches last season, she became more assertive and the catalyst for turning what could have been a mediocre season into another good season."
LINCOLN, Neb. — When Fiona Nepo left her native Hawaii to accept a volleyball scholarship at Nebraska, she apparently forgot to read the travel brochure.
She's the leader of a Nebraska team ranked No.5 by the AVCA. The Cornhuskers went 27-7 last fall and missed the Final Four by one game.
Nepo is on target to become Nebraska's school leader for assists. Entering this season, she has 3,293 assists — 493 short of the record held by assistant coach Nikki Best, who played from 1990-93.
Nepo wasn't heavily recruited by Hawaii despite being the 1994 Interscholastic League player of the year at University High in Honolulu.
"She plays with great joy and enthusiasm," coach Terry Pettit said. "That style of play is infec-
Nepo, who plans to return to Hawaii after graduation to become a teacher, has been a link between the islands and Nebraska. The 'Huskers have recruited Hawaiian football and baseball players since Nepo's arrival.
"I wanted to leave Hawaii for college," Nepo said. "I wanted to see another part of the world."
Seminoles drop Aggies
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Florida State is still in the hunt for the National Championship.
The No. 2 Seminoles opened the 1998 season with a 23-14 win against No. 14 Texas A&M.
The Aggies have been picked to win the Big 12 Conference South Division and led 14-10 at halftime after converting a second quarter fumble into a touchdown.
But they were unable to score in the second half while Florida State added two field goals and a touchdown.
Aggie coach R.C. Slocum entered the game with realistic expectations.
"I see this as an opportunity and to play a team that is arguably the best in college football." Slocum said.
In 1993, Florida State used the Kickoff Classic to get an idea of how good it could be.

Cowboys crave win against Kansas
The Associated Press
ish and a slot in a bowl game
STILLWATER, Okla. —Last year's season opener was vitally important for Oklahoma State. The Cowboys, one week after learning that 10 players were academically ineligible, went on the road and beat Iowa State 21-14.
A loss, given the circumstances, could have been a major setback. But instead, the victory helped propel OSU to an 8-4 fn
slot in a bowl game.
Now the Cowboys are preparing for their 1996 season opener Saturday at Kansas.
And considering OSU plays five of its first six games on
Simmons: Begins his second year and the Cowboys coach
the road, getting off to a good start would be ideal.
"It's going to be real important," Tony Lindsay, quarterback, said yesterday. "This is what's going to tell us where we are. This is going to tell us how our season is going to be."
Coach Bob Simmons, while acknowledging the opener is important, isn't willing to go as
far as his sophomore quarterback. He looks at it as a chance to win a conference game.
"I'm not going to be the kind of guy that lets this game, win or lose, determine the outcome of our football season," he said.
Simmons uses Missouri as an example. Last year, the Tigers split their first six games. But they gained momentum as the season progressed and went to a bowl.
"It helps (to win), but there's no guarantee you're going to have a great season if you win that first ballgame." he said.
Unlike a year ago, Oklahoma State doesn't have a question mark at quarterback. Lindsay, a sophomore, has established himself as the starter, but Simmons said it is possible that backup Chris Chalupka will play.
The Cowboys are without four players who are now in the NFL — corner back / kick returner/receiver R.W. McQuarters, cornerback Kevin Williams, defensive tackle Jamal Williams and All-American tight end Alonzo Mayes.
But Simmons says his biggest concern is not so much replacing those players as it is maintaining the ingredients that led to last year's success.
"I've told them that last year's team was last year's team," he said. "There are guys that were on that team that are gone. This is this year's team. This is what you're going to be about. You've got to build your own type of credibility.
"The response in my mind should be a good one because we've got guys, if they've learned anything about last year's team and what it takes to get there, and if we repeat that same type of effort, we should have a pretty good season."
