MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — The last time
West Virginia opened its season against a Big Eight
opponent was 1982, and few backers of the Moun
taineers had reason to be happy over that.
Even the opposition that day was upset — in
more ways than one, as it turned out.
“Oklahoma was mad we were on their schedule,”
West Virginia coach Don Nehlen remembered.
“They had just beaten us by 42 points (in 1979) and
they didn’t feel like they ought to be
playing us.”
But the Sooners did pre
cious little of that, carrying
the upset theme to its ulti
mate in a 41-27 whipping by
West Virginia.
“When I first got here we
were everybody’s homecom
ing opponent,” said
Nehlen, now in his 15th
season at West Virginia.
“And you know when some
body schedules you for
homecoming, you’ve got prob
lems.
“So we made a few changes and went out and
beat (Oklahoma).”
West Virginia once again is starting against a
Big Eight foe, fourth-ranked Nebraska, in the Kick
off Classic on Sunday at East Rutherford, N.J. Once
more, the Mountaineers are big underdogs (16 1/2
points), but Nehlen doesn’t think his 24th-ranked
team can utilize the element of surprise this time.
“Nebraska is playing a team that was (11-1) last
year,” he said. “We haven’t snuck up on anyone for
eight or nine years.’

was used by West Virginia to build its program.
Just two years later, the Mountaineers would
beat Penn State for the first time since 1954. Since
then, West Virginia has been 11-1 twice (1988 and
1993) and had two legitimate chances at the nation
al title.
But the Mountaineers are still one step away
from joining football’s elite, as their low ranking
would indicate. Nehlen believes the Nebraska game
could be a big step toward solving that dilemma.
“My friends are going to be
watching this on TV,” he said.
“All my players’ friends are go
ing to be watching this on TV,
And a lot of high school football
players are going to be watch
ing this game, from New Jer
sey to North Carolina and all
over.
“If we win this game, that’s got
be a tremendous plus for our pro
gram.”
Nehlen’s game plan usually is to e$
tablish a running game, then throw when defenders
aren’t expecting it. It works unless the Moun
taineers get too far behind. In last season’s Sugar
Bowl, they fell behind Florida 21-7 and then totally
unraveled.
Since West Virginia should be strongest on de
fense this season, and has one of the nation’s top
punters in Todd Sauerbrun, Nehlen doesn’t plan on
gambling.
“If Nebraska can beat us, so be it,” he said. "But
we don’t want to beat ourselves. ... We have a guy
who I think can punt the football well. Don’t think

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Carol
Compton reaches into a file cabi
net in the library at Winston
Churchill High School and pulls
out a manila envelope stuffed
with newspaper clippings.
On the upper right hand cor
ner of the envelope, the librarian
and teacher has carefully writ
ten the name of school’s most fa
mous graduate: “Carlson, Cody.”
Cody Carlson, who led the
Churchill Chargers to two state
semi-final appearances before
his graduation in 1982, is the
starting quarterback for the
Houston Oilers.
Compton has been saving
newspaper stories about her for
mer student for yqacg, “just in
case one of the students wanted
to read about him or do a paper
on him.”
“We’ve had kids graduate
from here who have gone on to
be doctors and lawyers,” she
says. “Some of them have even
come back here as teachers.
“It’s always fun to see kids
that you know make their mark
in the world.”
