Hawley 19 By Mike Babcock Staff Sports Writer Some defensive tackles attempt to finesse blockers and slip around them. Others rely on muscle to get the job done. Nebraska offensive tackle Jeff Kwa-pick thinks Iowa's Mark Bortz falls into Uie latter category. Kwapick certainly hopes so. "Personally, I like a guy who will come into me and try fight," he said.

Kwapick will find out how combative Bortz is Saturday afternoon in Memorial Stadium when third-ranked Nebraska opens its football season against Iowa. Kickoff is 1:30 p.m., with an NCAA record 119th consecutive sellout crowd of morethan 76,000 expected. Individual struggles The Bortz-Kwapick battle is only one of many individual struggles on which the game's outcome will depend. Based on last season's 10-7 Iowa victory, however, it could be more significant than roost The 6-6, 265-pound Bortz was a key figure in a Hawkeye defense which limited Nebraska to a season-low 234 yards of total offense. Bortz had eight tackles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries to earn both LJPI and Sports Illustrated recognition he rn1aeta fnnfViall'e natinriQl "Fiofonciin 21 Roger IB 6-2 220 Sr, 6-1 180 Sr.

Kwapick brings those four years of learning to his senior season. "I'll be ready to play." If this week's practices are any indication, so are the rest of Nebraska's offensive linemen. According to Kwapick, "there's more concentratioa We aren't making mistakes, so we don't end up running plays over." NU offensive line coaches Milt Teno-pir and Clete Fischer "don't press us too much.

They don't get as upset with us as they did when we were younger," said Kwapick. Not obsessed Last year's loss to Iowa has provided incentive, but Kwapick hasn't become obsessed with the Hawkeyes or with Bortz, who "looks pretty good on film. "We're not after revenge," Kwapick said. "We're just trying to put together a good game. We want to hit them a little harder and make them know we're there.

Last year, I dont think they got hit very hard." Bortz apparently didn't According to Kwapick, some defensive tackles are "more 'soft-type' players and some are more He has a good idea about which description fits Bortz. The senior from Pardee-ville, "is strong" and will again be a formidable foe. But "I'll be ready to play," said Kwapick. Kickoff: 1:30 p.m., Memorial Stadium. KFAB, WOW.

Kwapick, who hit .450 for the summer, batted third and Hrbek batted fourth in the order on that Metro all-star squad. By then, however, Kwapick had accepted Nebraska's football scholarship offer, and he wasn't about to change his mind.

"I'vp thnnpht a lot ahont him because I know he had the good game against us last year," said Kwapick, a 6-3, 254-pound senior from Circle Pines, whose job it will be to block Bortz. "He's strong, lie gets his head up and starts going one way, and he cant be stopped. I'm just going to try to get in his way." A year ago in Iowa City, Nebraska's blockers couldn't seem to gein the way often enough to stop a tough Hawkeye defense. It was the low point of a season In which, the Cornhusker offensive line 'opened lhe way for the nation's No.

2 rushing offense. Two starters back Bortz and strong safety Bobby Stoops are the only returning starters off that Iowa defense, while Kwapick and the rest of Nebraska's offensive line is an experienced group. Kwapick didn't start against the Hawkeyes last year, but he played and graded well enough to earn his first collegiate start the next weekend against, Florida State. "I don't know if we thought we were ready," Kwapick said, trying to explain the line's letdown in the Iowa game. "Maybe we didn't know how to get ready." That shouldn't be a problem this time arpund considering the five starters in the offensive interior have combined to earn 10 varsity letters.

All but guard Dean Steinkuhier, who lines up beside Kwapick on the right side, are seniors. Steinkuhier is a junior. "We've got a lot of experience up there," said Kwapick, who played "quite a bit" last season. "We're used to work- ing together, and most of us have been together since we were freshmen." During that time, "you become comfortable with the guys next to you, and they know 6-6 265 So. 58 Harry OG 6-4 271 So.

Gifford Nielsen starts at quarterback, but Earl Campbell remains, team's primary weapon. Pete Johnson key performer when Bengals have ball. Ken Anderson has an even stronger corps of receivers than a year ago. Cincinnati by 7. Kansas City at Buffalo Bills orent going anywhere without Joe Crlbbs.

Chiefs have potential for strong passing attack, but only if Mary Levy makes up, his mind between Bill Kennev and Steve Fuller at quarterback.

Though he chose football as his means to a college education, he was a good enough catcher that he could have accepted a baseball scholarship from Arizona State, Arizona or Minnesota.

History Ain't any. Cyclones' only previous game against SEC was 1971 Sun Bowl loss to LSU. Vols 3-1 vs. Big Eight (2-0 KU, 1-1 OU). The coaches Donnie Duncan 14-18-1 beginning fourth year at ISU, 15-17-1.

Johnny Majors 29-28-1 in sixth season at Tennessee. Notes Maiors coached Cyclones to 24-30-1 record, 1968 through 1972. Iowa State has won six consecutive season-openers.

Garfield Taylor (he rushed 728 yards last year) has old starting lob Rogers. St. Louis by 1. Tampa Bay at Minnesota Bucs are even stronger on defense. McKoy has put together finishing touches on big-ploy offense.

Vikes helped themselves on defense with addition of former Eagle Pro Bowl nose tackle Charlie Johnson. However, secondary remains vulnerable. Vikings still have superior offensive potential but lack strength at offensive line. Darrin Nelson has all it takes to contend for rookle-of-' the-vear honors. Minnesota by 2.

Washington at Philadelphia Nothing wrong with the Eagle defense that a more consistent pass rush won't help. Offense still sputtering and will be in terrible trouble should any of three top starters Jaworski, Montgomery or Carmichoel lose any appreciable time due to injuries. Skins have improved defensively but aren't the same offensively without Joe Washington. Eagles must pressure Joe The- ismann Into throwing into coverages. Philadelphia by 6.

Pittsburgh at Dallas (Monday night) New offensive wrinkle for Terry Brad-show includes shorter pass routes and throwing more to his backs. Steeler ground game improved via first-round addition of Walter Abercromble. Cowboys have strongest offensive potential in recent memory. Team appears to be three deep in nearly every offensive area.
