Saturday, November 4 Rutherford out with torn ACL Associated Press | |||
LINCOLN, Neb. -- Backup offensive lineman Jon Rutherford
may not live up to expectations of becoming a key player in the
Cornhuskers' 2000 offensive line due to an injury.
Rutherford, a 6-foot-3, 300 pound junior from Midwest City,
Okla., tore his anterior cruciate ligament in Saturday's 56-17 win
over Kansas.
Nebraska head coach Frank Solich said Rutherford is "probably
lost for the season."
Rutherford played in every game in the 1999 season as a backup
left tackle behind senior starter Adam Julch. He totaled 14
knock-down blocks that season.
