BUT THEN AGAIN, it could
beljust another kickoff. A&M
coach Jackie Sherrill says he’s

Tings about the much-

[fm very aware of the team,”
pp said Monday. “That’s the
ething about college football,

jelfth Man idea is great for
lege football. We respect it,
we’ll prepare our team the
But how can you prepare for
such madness? That’s the ques
tion everyone is asking the 45-
year-old Kapp.
“I’m an expert in kick returns
now,” he says. “Ever since a cou
ple of our coaches from last sea
son took jobs in the NFL, they’ve
been asking me, ‘How do you do
“The Play?“’
“But it’s not the kind of thing
you can coach. It’s just an atti
tude your team has, not to ever
give up.”
Sherrill says he won’t be sur
prised if the Golden Bears try
any razzle-dazzle on the Aggies’
first kickoff. After all, if it work
ed against the Stanford band, it
ought to work against the A&M
student body. A&M’s Twelfth
Man defense is as inexperienced
as the Stanford band at stopping
whirlwind returns.
Sherrill, however, doesn’t
seem to be that worried.
Though he jokes about the pos
sibility of the team failing (“I’ll
have a lot of people throwing
darts at me“), it’s easy to get the
feeling he has confidence in his
walk-ons.
“We’ve got players who can
run, players who can hit you,” he
says. “Of course, the main thing
is containment, but if Alan
(Smith) puts them out of the end
zone, we won’t have to worry ab
out that.”
The Twelfth Man team is
scheduled to cover all home
game kickoffs — all season long.
One kickoff, even one game,
does not a season make. When
you’re up against Captain Rod
gers and “The Play“-makers,
however, there’s no room for
mistakes. Just ask the Stanford
band.

The Nebraska offense rolled

times, all of which they reco

Cornhuskers also scored 21 first
half points despite committing
five penalties for 52 yards.
Penn State quarterbacks
Doug Strang and Lonergan
completed a combined 13 for 39
passes for 227 yards, with much
of the yardage coming in the fin
al two minutes.
Nebraska took a 7-0 lead by
driving 78 yards on its second
posession of the game. Gill, who
completed all four of his passing
attempts for 63 yards in the
drive, capped it with a 1-yard
touchdown dive. Gill kept the
drive alive with a 31 -yard pass to
Shane Swanson down the right
sideline on a third and 14 from

After forcing a Penn State
punt, Nebraska went 86 yards
on seven plays with Gill flipping
a 19-yard touchdown pass to
tight end Monte Engebritson for
a 14-0 lead on the final play of
the first quarter. For the senior
Engebritson, who was fourth
string last year, it was his second
career reception and first TD.
Cornhuskers’ fullback Mark
Schellen surprised Penn State
with a 34-yard burst up the mid
dle on the drive to bring the ball
to the Nittany Lions’ 33.
Gill gained 19 yards around
right end on the next play and
threw the touchdown pass to En
gebritson two plays later.

veterans cut by NFL teams
Nebraska outgained Penn
State 193-25 in total yardage in
the first quarter and the Cor
nhuskers held the ball for 11:38.
Sophomore tight end Todd
Frain’s 20-yard touchdown re
ception from backup quarter
back Nate Mason made it 21-0
with 4:23 left in the half. It was
Frain’s first career reception.
Mason, who replaced Gill when
the starter went out for a rest
midway through the drive, also
had a 14-yard run in the nine-
play, 66-yard drive.
Penn State quarterbacks
Strang and Lonergan were wild
in the first half and combined to
complete 3-of-16 attempts. Af
ter starter Strang completed his
first attempt, to Kenny Jackson,
he missed six straight passes.
Lonergan missed his first* four
attempts before hitting Tim
Robinson for 39 yards to the
Nebraska 23 with less than two
minutes left in the half. The
drive fizzled, however, when
Lonergan threw wild to Jackson
on fourth and 2 from the 15.
Nebraska made it 27-0 when
Mike Knox stepped in front of a
Strang pass intended for Tony
Mumford and took it 27 yards
for a touchdown early in the
third quarter. Dave Schneider,
who kicked 4-of-5 extra-point
attempts, kicked a 34-yard field
goal late in the third quarter.

It may not be the equivalent of
punting on a fourth and inches
but, just the same, some of the
NFL clubs’ final cuts Monday
will certainly be second-guessed.
With the teams painstakingly
trimming their rosters to the
mandatory final 49-player limit
Monday, a number of veteran
players fell by the wayside.
The Denver Broncos cut
veteran tight end Riley Odoms,
the second-leading receiver in
club history, and the New Eng
land Patriots dropped running
back Yagas Ferguson, their No.
1 draft choice three years ago.
The New York Giants waived
Joe Danelo, their kicker for the
last seven years and Philadel
phia placed quarterback Dan
Pastorini on the injured resrve
list.
Odoms, a four-time Pro Bowl
player, was among 11 players
cut by Denver. The other 10 will
not be announced until Tuesday
to see if they clear waivers, a
spokesman said. If Odoms, a 6-
foot-4, 235-pounder, is not pick
ed up by another team by Tues
day, he will become a free agent.
Reeves said he has chosen Jim
Wright, a 4-year veteran, to start
at tight end. Odoms said he
wanted to be waived if he was
not the No. 1 tight end.
The Eagles’ Pastorini, com
ing off surgery for a shoulder
injury, was the No. 3 quarter-
hack behind starter Ron Jawors-
ki and Joe Pisarcik. Guard Pete
Perot was also placed on injured
reserve.
In addition, Philadelphia cut
10 players. They were corner-
back Richard Blackmore, safety
K.C. Keeler, linebacker Mike
Curcio, defensive end Thomas
Brown, nose tackle Charlie
Johnson, offensive tackle Frank
Giddens, center Mark Slater,
wide receiver Melvin Hoover,
running back Ken Jenkins, and
tight end Scott Nizolek.
The team also announced
tight end John Spagnola will
undergo surgery Wednesday to
correct a cervical disc problem.
A spokesman said it was unde
termined how long Spagnola
would be sidelined.
Defensive tackle Louie Kel
cher and offensive tackle Russ
Washington, two long-time All-
Pro performers, were among
the San Diego Chargers’ cuts.
Washington, a 16-year veter
an of the Chargers’ offensive
line, was one of only two players
ever to start at right tackle for
San Diego.
In other key transactions, the
Baltimore Colts acquired wide
receiver Tracy Porter from De
troit and kicker Raul Allegre
from Dallas for draft choices
and cut kicker Dan Miller. Cin
cinnati had four veterans among
its cuts — defensive backs Mike
Fuller and John Simmons,
offensive linemen and former
Texas A&M player Glenn Bu-
jnoch and defensive lineman
Mike St. Clair.
