ARIZONA'S Many veteran Husker players have expressed disappointment in their 9-3 regular-season record and are determined to. go out winners. NU's younger players talk a lot about building momentum for next season.

A victory would probably vault NU into the Top 10. Arizona, meanwhile, seems fully recovered from the letdown of losing its Rose Bowl spot. The Wildcats hunger for a victory against one of the giants of the college game. ARIZONA'S TWO-HEADED QB VS. NEBRASKA'S TWO-HEADED QB The Wildcats' Keith Smith and Ortege Jenkins have shared the position all season.

Both run and throw well. Smith, a second- team AII-Pacific-10 selection, completed 68.5 percent of his passes. Jenkins is famous for his acrobatic TD vs. Washington. NU freshman Eric Crouch, meanwhile, makes his first bowl appearance after going 4-1 as a starter this season.

Oft-injured senior Monte Christo will play at least one series in the first half. UL'REDVS. WILLIE WILfVlA WILDCAT Wilma enters the Holiday Bowl clash 1 visibly shaken after taking an Unscheduled dip in San Diego Bay Monday during the teams' visit to the USS Peleliu. It's difficult to predict how she'll respond on game day. U' Red, meanwhile, just smiles when asked about the matchup against Wilma and Willie.

Come to think about it, Lil' Red smiles when you1 ask him about anything. Clear edge to Mr. Happy. (VS. NU SECCmDAny 1 '( Dennis ftorthcutt and Jeremy McDaniel have the school record for combined receptions by two players in a season with 1217 McDaniel's hands-only catching style.

and leaping ability complement Northcutt's hip-swiveling open-field game. Nebraska counters with a secondary stung by the loss of backup rover and nickel back Joe Walker. 27 Arizona State 50-42 NEBRASKA Score Date Opponent PHOTO COURTESY THE TUCSON (ARi.)

A is 14th in rushing offense, and NU is 1 6th against the run. i NEBKASKA BOWL'APPROACH 4 VS. AKIZOA BOWL APPROACH NU first-year head coach Frank Solich obviously prefers a businesslike atmosphere. All of the Huskers' practices were closed and played were declared off-. limits to the media after Sunday.

Arizona, on the other hand, welcomed visitors to "practice. NU'S Workouts were intense, Solich said. "I know they like one another, but it hasn't been showing all that much on the field latery," he said. Steven M. Sipple Whfch team best establishes its ground game may be the key, NU benefits from the return of l-back DeAngelo Evans, who says he is 100-percent healthy.

Correll Buckhalter will start Arizona's Trung Canidate averages 7.3 yards per carry and gives the Wildcats one of the nation's top big-play 1 threats.
