Teams across the nation are eager to strap on pads and take the Field. Perhaps no other team is more ready to get the season under way than the Colorado Buffaloes. The program was tainted by off-sea son scandals that included alle gations of rape at recruiting par ties and sexual harassment. The controversies led to state and university investigations and prompted a media fury that is yet to die. After serving a short suspension during the in vestigations, head coach Gary Barnett is back and ready to concentrate on football. “I think everybody is just anx ious to get out there and play,” said Barnett during this week’s Big 12 conference call. “And our team will be a little more than most, because of what they’ve had the opportunity to go through.” Because the Buffs’ first game is against in-state rival Colorado State, the team is even more anxious. “I think it’s become a good rivalry because we got our butts kicked in 1999, 2000, and then in 2002 we lost as well,” Barnett said. “We’ve gone from being the team that should win to be ing the team that got beat, and they’ve taken advantage of it. They do a good job there.” This rivalry will not be played in Denver on a neutral field; rather, Colorado will enjoy its first home field advantage over the Rams in seven years. Barnett hopes the home atmosphere will Nebraska vs. Western Illinois Texas Tech and the things that Mike Leach has done offensive-1 ly, it’s astounding that you caul generate that much yardage with an offensive scheme that offers so much variety.” Can the Big 12 handle another Leach? One thing is for sure: These aren’t your father’s Ne braska Comhuskers. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:10 p.m. at Nebraska’s Me morial Stadium. While receiving less attention than Colorado this off-season, the Nebraska Comhuskers still stirred talk at the water cooler with the hiring of former Oak land Raider head coach and West Coast offense advocate Bill Callahan. While other traditional run ning teams, such as the Univer sity of Oklahoma, switched to pass-first attacks during the early and late 1990s, Nebraska stayed with the run with great success, winning national titles in 1994, 1995 and 1997. A balanced offensive attack for the Huskers meant occasionally giving the ball to the fullback on a dive while running the option to both sides of the field. All of this will change as Callahan plans to use the same pass-happy system that led him and the Raiders to the 2002 Super Bow 1. The first chance to sec new-look Huskers will be Saturday as they host Division 1-AA power Western Illinois. While Nebraska is the heavy fa vorite, there will be some grow ing pains in its first couple of games. Nonetheless, the game should provide a good look at what scheme to expect offen sively for the Huskers for years to come. In fact, a quote from Callahan during this week's Big 12 conference call might fore shadow what is to come. “I will tell you that there is a lot of imagination and creativity from offensive coaches, espe cially in this conference,” Cal lahan said. “When you look at Pay-per-view worthy?
