As a matter of fact, it stinks.I The special guest incredibly has won the 19851 Daily Line picks going 81-72-2 - that's a 74 per- cent clip, sports fans. Congratulations to all the special guests:t Lance Parrish, Governor James Blanchard, Isiah Thomas, Red Berenson, Brian Eisner, Bill Frieder, Don Canham, Bruce Madej, William Revelli, John Urbanchek, and theI Michigan Cheerleaders. Only one of the eleven had a losing mark - Eisner (a Michigan State grad). IN THE meantime, the Daily football staff has some score to settle among themselves. Joe Ewing holds a slim game margin over Mike Redstone going into the bowl game picks. "I knew I could beat that scrawny little reject from Oak Park," Ewing said. "What the hell does he know about football? He never played it with pads on. "I plan to drive his head even further into the artificial turf over the holiday season with my predictions for all the bowl games." Ewing added that he was glad that the special guest won the regular season title because the only way to give them incentive to play was to "let them win." In the meantime, Brad Morgan and Phil Nussel will be battling each other for the cellar spot. Nussel, who was in first place for several weeks, is now three games behind Morgan, who was in the cellar-until two weeks ago. Those two, however, get the last laugh because they have enough money saved up to pay for their trip to Tempe, Ariz. for the Fiesta Bowl, unlike the gentlemen vying for first place.

Although they were still young, he1 could tell they had talent. Even at that1 age, he knew his sons would be good.1 HE CAN ALSO remember watching Doug play football in the PeeWee leagues. Doug played end and was quick. "It makes me feel very good to see Doug do so well," the elder DuBose said of his son, the Nebraska starting I-back, who leads the Cornhuskers in rushing with 1161 yards and eight touchdowns. Edward Oliviera, a former Mon- tville High School football coach in Uncasville, Conn. also remembers Doug DuBose's potential. "It was evident that he was an athlete in a class of his own," said Oliviera, who coached DuBose his junior and senior years of high school. "He was by far the best kid in the area." AFTER A FINE high school career in which he averaged 225 yards rushing per game as a senior, scholarship offers began pouring in. DuBose chose Nebraska. Nebraska running back coach Frank Solich, also noted DuBose's potential. As a freshman, DuBose showed he had ability to be "the caliber back that he is," Solich said. As Solich watched, DuBose turned his potential into yards - lots of them. As a sophomore, DuBose alternated with Geoff Smith and finished with 1040 yards to lead the Big Eight in rushing. DuBose and Smith both were named to the All-Conference team. AFTER HIS freshman season, DuBose spent a year as a redshirt. Being a redshirt had its good and bad points. The good point: watching and lear- ning from Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier. The bad point: not playing for a year. "It's always going to be a long year when you're not playing," DuBose said. THIS SEASON, DuBose has again rushed for over 1000 yards. With a 114- yard performance against Iowa State earlier this season, he became only the third back in Nebraska history to have two 1000-yard seasons. Only a junior, DuBose is a good bet to rush for 1000 yards next season and become the only Husker running back to have three 1000-yard seasons. He ranks 10th on the all-time Husker rushing chart with 2050 career yards. DuBose was surprised by his suc- cess his sophomore season, because sophomores usually aren't starters at Nebraska - especially running backs. "It's not easy for a sophomore to do," Solich said. "We have a lot of backs and it's tough on our guys. They don't get many carries, but they make the best out of their number of carries." DUBOSE DOESN'T mind that Nebraska has a habit of rotating its running backs. "It's all part of the game," the 5-11, 190-pound junior said. "Coach Osbor- ne doesn't worry about getting me 30 carries every game. It definitely depends on how the game goes.' k Nebraska reserve running backs Paul Miles, Keith Jones and Jon Kelley have received ample carries. Miles has gained 669 yards while fullback Tom Rathman has gained over 800 yards. "I'VE BEEN satisfied," DuBose said. "They deserve their chance too." Winning seasons, conference titles, and a possible national championship are more important than personal glories for DuBose. "I just want the team to win and I'll be happy," he said. DESPITE HIS 1000-yard season, DuBose has been plagued by an ankle injury he suffered in Nebraska's 63-0 win over Oregon on Sept. 28. Although he returned to action after missing the Cornhuskers' 38-7 win over New Mexico, the injury still bothers him. On several runs, DuBose broke free, but was tackled from behind. More than likely he would have scored had he been healthy. lose grounds "Doug is the type of kid who comes Johnny Rogers and Rich Glover were du off of minor injuries," Solich said. the guest speakers. DuBose said "He's a tough kid." Glover broke down and started crying pl BECAUSE OF the success he has had the past few seasons, DuBose can't help but think ahead to his senior season. After his sophomore year, DuBose's name was mentioned as a possible darkhorse candidate for the Heisman Trophy. At the end of this season, DuBose's name should be mentioned as a favorite for the 1986 Heisman. "I try not to think about those things," DuBose said. "I just want to play the game." With the success and the Heisman talk comes publicity and attention from members of the media. uri ac DUBOSE'S TEAMMATES have noticed the attention he is receiving. They retaliate by giving him a hard time. "My name is DougvDuBose and I rush for 100 yards every game," a teammate kidded during a recent in- terview. "I don't need blockers," another added. DuBose admitted that his team- mates joke about the attention he receives from the media,abut they ac- cept it. "The attention from the media is flattering," he said. "It's all part of the game.' DUBOSE EXPECTS to have an op- portunity to play pro football, but it isn't a worry for him now. "Being a running back from Nebraska will help because Nebraska is known for having talented backs," he said. "Just look at Roger Craig and Mike Rozier." After being at Nebraska for almost four years, it's easy to say coming to Nebraska was a wise decision, but in high school DuBose didn't know if he wanted to be so far away from home. "I NEVER thought I would leave home and play for Nebraska," said the Uncasville, Conn. native. After attending a Big Eight con- ference banquet while still in high school, he realized that Nebraska was for him. At the banquet, former Huskers Ohio St. week ................7-3 6-4 7-3 5-5 Overall .. . *..... ..... 78-3042 77-31-2 75-33-2 72-36-2 e "'d .ra® NICKELS ACA DE I ST-PST SATACTGMAT A WIEEENTS GRELSAT-MAT GRE BIG-TOEFL 6REPSTCH-PCAT BAT-UCAT-VAT NATNIB 1-2-3 NPB-MP-NOB FUENS-CGFNS CPANCLEX- RN STEEDREAINNCB-1 ESL REVIEW-FLEX 12.3 INTRO TO LAW SCHOOL APLAN EDUCATIONAL CENTER LTD.
