[Husker] More on walk-on starters

[Duane Feldman]

Well, this may be lost since Bob left the List, but there will be FOUR former walkon starters tomorrow night for the Huskers.  Matt O'Hanlon has been named starter at Free Safety in place of Ricky Thenarse.  This a big surprise to me.  I knew Ricky had been struggling at times this fall, but Bo had some good things to say about RT "just getting it" this last week.  Then BOOM -- a walkon who I wasn't aware was even considered is starting.  Go figure.  Thenarse will keep his special teams spot.
For those who keep track, that is former walkons Todd Petersen and Scott Lawson on O and Wortman an O'Hanlon on D.  For special teams, Henery (K), Titchener (P) and O'Learly (LS) are walkon key position starters.  This puts up close or above the six walkon starters for the '95 team.
Can you say "National Champions?"  Good, but why? (just kidding)
