COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT : ACROSS THE NATION : Berringer Improving for Nebraska

Nebraska quarterback Brook Berringer should have full medical clearance and be able to use the entire playbook Saturday when the third-ranked Cornhuskers play at Missouri, Coach Tom Osborne said. . . . New Mexico State coach Jim Hess, who has suffered temporary blackouts over the past two weeks, isn’t expected to need surgery for his problems, university officials said. The school said doctors believe they were caused by a blood clot near his heart or a small hole between the left and right atriums of his heart. . . . Hawaii Coach Bob Wagner has accused Western Athletic Conference officials of knowing “who was supposed to win the game.” Wagner’s comments followed a 14-3 loss to Utah.
