National title is longshot for Nebraska Cornhuskers
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Joe Paterno once told Tom Osborne he'd win his first national title when he least expected it. Well, few people expect it now, not with this injury list.
State, missed it by a two-point extra point failure against Miami in the Orange Bowl at the end of 1983 and had a field goal attempt go wide in the closing seconds of last season's Orange Bowl against Florida State.
The Nebraska coach, who has been close to winning national championships on several occasions in his 21 seasons, has to be wondering what is coming next after Saturday's 32-3 victory over Oklahoma State (3-2)
The 1904 season, with a host of returning stars headed by quarterback Tommie Frazier, appeared to be Osborne's next best hope.
Osborne did not get the title in 1982 after a controversial loss at Penn
Then Nebraska lost its defensive quarterback, safety Mike Minter, in the second game of the season. Frazier has been sidelined for the past two weeks and probably will be out
No. 2 quarterback Brook Berringer, who started his first game against Wyoming Oct. 1, suffered a partially collapsed left lung in the 42-32 win. After having X-rays taken Saturday during halftime, he was told he reagravated the injury and didn't return to the game. It is unknown if he can play against 16th-ranked Kansas State this week.
Chris Anderson said. It probably won't be known until today what shape Berringer might be in to play Saturday, she said.
Berringer wasn't expected to practice yesterday, and he was being monitored, Nebraska spokeswoman
Lawrence Phillips and the offensive line came to the rescue Saturday for the 6-0 Cornhuskers — along with a hungry defense and the No.3 quarterback, sophomore walk-on Matt Turman.
Rob Zatechka.
"We may have lost a championship quarterback, but we've got guys like Brook and Matt who can come in and step up and still allow us to be a championship team," said offensive tackle
With Turman at the controls, Nebraska's ground game was emphasized. That meant giving the ball to Phillips.
"We thought we might be running a lot, just to start off so Matt could settle in," Phillips said. "We were ready for the challenge."
Phillips set career highs with 221 yards rushing on 33 carries. He scored three touchdowns, two in the third quarter and became the seventh sophomore to reach 1,000 yards rushing in a season at Nebraska.
