Osborne Praises Quarterbacks Continued From Page ID dump the ball over the line on a delay to someone coming out of the backfield. They got away with it because of our inexperienced linebackers. They caught on to it. Then we had subs in the game and they got fboled too.” Kiffin credited the offense with aiding the shutout. “They were on the field a lot of the time, and that took a lot of pressure off our defense. “But we can’t get complacent. We’ve got to improve every week. Keep getting better. And this is a bunch of good kids who will continue to work hard. I except them to get better each week.” Cornhusker coach Tom Osborne was impressed with the improvement of the offense. “It was probably a combination of things,” he admitted. “Indiana’s defense was not as good as LSU’s and our kids played better. This was the kind of a day that gives the offensive team a shot in the arm.” Quarterbacks Please Osborne was pleased with the play of his quarterbacks. “Terry (Luck) played a lot better. He admitted that he was aiming the ball last week. He was a lot looser and more relaxed out there this time.” Osborne added that No. 1 replacement Vince Ferragamo “played up to expectations. I’m not about to get into a controversy about quarterbacks,” he insisted. “It’s just nice to have at least two of them who you wouldn’t hesitate to use at any time. And we’re not counting Earl Everett or Randy García out of the picture either.” The NU mentor said it was especially I nice to get to play everyone who was allowed to suit up for the game. “We’re still evaluating personal at several positions, particularly in the offense line. And we had Gary Higgs and Dodie Donnell in the game at fullback for the first time. That’s really important to us.” Sprained wrists were the vogue in the Husker training room after the game. Defensive co>-captain Bob Martin and mates Dean Gissler and Jim Burrow all had wrists wrapped in ice packs. Rik Bonness was icing down the knee strain which kept him out of the LSU opener, while offensive guard Rich Costanzo suffered a neck strain. But trainer Paul Schneider said it was just the usual assortment of bumps and bruises and that everyone should be ready for TCÜ next week.
