The Nebraska Cornhuskers will roll into Ames on Saturday, riding a 10-game winning streak and sporting an unblemished 4-0 record.

The Huskers have the nation’s best rushing offense [355.2 yards per game], the third best total offense [486.8 yards per game], and quite possibly the best offensive line and quarterback in the nation.

So many things can be said about Nebraska, but ISU Head Coach Dan McCarney sums it up best.

“They’re explosive, put up 40 points a game, and have first-round draft picks all over the place. When you have the offensive line, running backs, wide receivers and tight end, they’ve got, you’ve got it all.”

Leading the Huskers’ potent option attack is junior quarterback and Heisman hopeful Eric Crouch.

Crouch is currently the Big 12 Conference’s leading scorer, second-leading passer and sixth best rusher.

McCarney feels that, “There’s not a better college football player in America. He can do it all; he’s strong, he’s fast, he’s powerful, he can throw it, he can beat you running the football. He’s sensational. I’ve never coached against a more impressive offensive player in my career.”

Running alongside Crouch will be senior running backs Dan Alexander and Correll Buckhalter.

Alexander is third in the Big 12 in rushing and Buckhalter fifth.

Leading the way for Crouch, Alexander and Buckhalter will be senior fullback Willie Miller.

Up front is where Nebraska is the most impressive and most terrifying for Iowa State.

“I couldn’t imagine a better offensive line in the country than the one we’re going to face on Saturday,” said McCarney of Husker seniors Jason Schwab and Russ Hochstein, juniors Dave Yolk and Dominic Raiola, and sophomore Toniu Fonoti.

Matt Davison will line up at receiver for his final season along with the incredibly versatile Bobby Newcombe.

Newcombe and Davison haven’t seen too many passes come their way this season due to Nebraska’s success running the ball, yet this duo is always a threat offensively.

Junior Tracey Wistrom is the tight end and an all-American candidate as he continues to make defenses pay.

Preseason all-American Carlos Polk headlines the Nebraska defense and is considered to be one of the nation’s best linebackers.

Polk is joined on the linebacking crew by junior Randy Stella and sophomore Scott Shanle.

Another big name for the Husker defense is Iowa native Kyle Vanden Bosch.

Vanden Bosch is a preseason all-American and considered one of college football’s best defensive ends.

Joining him up front is fellow senior Loran Kaiser, junior Jason Lohr and sophomore Demoine Adams.

Nebraska’s secondary boasts cornerback Keyuo Craver who is a Thorpe Award candidate.

His counterparts in the secondary are Dion Booker, Joe Walker, Erwin Swiney and Clint Finley.

Josh Brown is Nebraska’s placekicker with Iowa native Dan Hadenfeldt handling kickoffs and punts.

Newcombe will return punts and kicks, along with another senior Joe Walker.

Head coach Frank Solich is in his third season and has a 25-5 record.

Nebraska is rate first by the USA Today coaches poll and second by the Associated Press poll.
