hold UAB to minus-21 yards rushing and don't expect the defense to allow 590 yards of passing either. FA vs. us's cmriSE After a less-than-pleasing week against Louisiana Tech, the Nebraska pass rush will be going without starter Jason Wiltz at defensive tackle. UAB runs a wide variety of offensive sets, although the 50-plus from Louisiana Tech, is not expected. The passing from UAB is not expected to be as sharp or as proficient as Tech's.

But UAB coach Watson Brown knows offense from hi3 days at Rice, Cincinnati and Oklahoma. UAB has averaged more than 20 points a game for the last six season. Don't expect NU's defense to UAB lost to 18th ranked Auburn 29-0 In 199S and 22nd ranked Virginia lech 37-0 last yeer. The Blazers fell to Kansas 24-0 last year. UAB has just three seasons of Division l-A football.

The Blazers were ranked No. 9 in passing -efficiency last year and allowed just 21 .6 points a game. But that was against a very weak schadula. i Ken Harrtbieton.
