Huskers and Buffs make ready
Colorado’s coach notices teams’ similarities
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Colo
rado coach Bill McCartney may have
pointed so hard at Nebraska as his
designated rival that he has created a
Cornhusker clone.
“I can’t think of any other team on
our schedule that runs an offense as
similar as we run, and I doubt if any
body that they’ve played this year
looks as much like them as we do.
T here’s a lot of similarity. There’s a
lot of similarity on defense, too,” Ne
braska coach Tom Osborne said.
“The difference will probably be
more of people than it will be forma
tions or those kinds of things,” he
said.
Consider the obvious: Colorado
and Nebraska are ranked No. 2 and
3 respectively heading into Satur
day’s Big Eight Conference show
down in Boulder, Colo. Both are 8-0
overall and 4-0 in the league. Both
have solid defenses, plenty of team
speed and option offenses that rely
on the run.
The way they attack a foe even
looks similar.
“They’re doing some things very
similar to what we’ve done over the
years,” Osborne said. “Some of the
plays are very similar.
“Of course they got involved in
the wishbone for several years and
then they’ve adapted some of the
wishbone to the I-formation,” he
said.
“I wouldn’t say they’ve necessarily
copied our offense. Everybody looks
at everybody else and tries to pick
out the things you like,” Osborne
said.
A look at the personnel also shows
similarities.
Both teams have top option quar
terbacks. Nebraska’s Gerry Gdowski
has three straight 100-yard-plus
rushing games, averages 94.88 yards
per game on the ground and is sec
ond in the league in passing effe-
ciency with nine touchdown passes
and a completion percentage of
more than 51 percent.
Colorado’s Darian Hagan is sixth
in the league with a rushing average
of 88.5 yards per game and tops in
passing efficiency with his 69.09 per
cent completion rate and three TD
passes.
Gdowski has run for 10 touch
downs, Hagan 1 1.
Both teams have quality running
backs.
Nebraska has Ken Clark and Leo-
dis Flowers at I-back and Bryan Car
penter at fullback. Colorado has J.J.
Flannigan filling in for the injured
Eric Bieniemy at I-back. Both teams
have veteran, tested and talented
lines, good receivers and plenty of
speed on offense.
On defense, Nebraska leads the
league in rushing defense, total de
fense and is No. 2 in scoring de
fense.
Colorado is second in rushing de
fense, total defense and No. I in
scoring defense.
Both teams have speed and talent
at inside and outside linebacker posi
tions and lines that have controlled
most opponents.
“I know this year, Colorado, ev
erybody says, is the class of the con
ference at this point,” Osborne said.
NFL wins against players union
SF. LOUIS (AP) — The NFL won a major victory
over its players union Wednesday when a federal ap
peals court ruled that the free agency clauses of its 1982
labor agreement can’t be challenged as antitrust viola
tions just because negotiations are at an impasse.
The 2-1 decision by the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals
left the league pushing for new negotiations. The
union, meanwhile, said it would appeal or — in an ex
treme scenario — push for decertification that would
leave the NFL without labor antitrust protection.
The decision involved the antitrust suit filed after the
unsuccessful conclusion of the 24-day players strike.
Last year, Judge David Doty, presiding over the suit
filed in Minneapolis, ruled that an “impasse” in bar
gaining existed and as such, the league’s labor antitrust
exemption no longer existed. Doty also suggested that
he believed the union would prevail at trial.
But the trial was put off indefinitely by Wednesday’s
split decision.
The majority consisted of Judges John R. Gibson and
Roger L. Wollman, who upheld the position of the NFL
Management Council, argued last May by Paul Taglia-
bue, who was elected the NFL’s new commissioner last
week.
They held that because the system of free-agent com
pensation was the result of a collective bargaining
agreement, it didn’t constitute an antitrust violation.
“In sum,” they wrote, “we hold that the antitrust laws
are inapplicable under the circumstances of this case as
the ... exemption extends beyond impasse.”
