TOGETHER F*roud Television Sponsor of University of Utah Football V'tU>* AND CAROLYN Linda Edgar (left) and Carolyn Johnson at "home" in Rice Stadium. By Liz Abel, Sports Information Director Never give Linda Edgar or Carolyn Johnson the old "It's not in my job description" line. They'll tell you to flush it. And, if you're at a U. event, Edgar likely arranged the facility to do so. Lining up 'porta potties' represents about one millionth of a percent of Edgar's duties-which cover academic eligibility, financial aid and all points in between. While Edgar, an administrative assistant in the Utah athletic department, spends much of her time tracking the eligibility of hundreds of athletes, development coordinator Johnson keeps the phone lines hum- PAGE6 ming in search of scholarship dollars. On Aupst 26, Edgar and associate athletic director Fern Gardner sat down and previewed tonight's lineup. "No one suits up until we say," said Edgar, who at the flick of a computer switch can chart each athlete's academic lifeline. The educational climate extends next door, where Johnson's Huntsman Center office rings with fund-raising activities - designed to provide athletic tuition waivers, among other things. While Edgar and Johnson concentrate most of their energies on financial aid/eli-giblity and fund-raising, respectively, the remaining portion of their days is scattered in different directions-from ordering orange slices for basketball and football teams and toting around game officials, to greeting boosters in the scholarship box and overseeing valet parking at football games. Edgar also orders hundreds of gallons of paint to line the Rice Stadium turf, coordinates the bands and lines crew at football games and sets practice times for incoming athletic teams. She used to manage athletic insurance cases, too. "For one year, I had to transcribe doctors' medical tapes. Those doctors talk like they have a mouth full of marbles. I had to buy medical dictionaries, because I was totally clueless. It was a real challenge," said Edgar. TY OF UTAH i'Hftft AND CAROLYN Johnson, who acts as "hostess, friend, confidant, mother, you name it," in the Rice Stadium Scholarship Box, also supervises and deposits all contributions to the athletic department fund, is editor of the Crimson Club newsletter, helps plan the annual Ifund drive and is the self-professed "creative end of the Crimson Club and athletic department historian." Johnson, a 21-year veteran ("I'm legal") of Ute athletics, formerly served as a sports information assistant, cheerleading advisor and radio spot salesman. Edgar and Johnson, famous throughout the athletic department for their jack-of-all- trade abilities, outspokenness and (strong opinions, invoke similar reactions from others. "Linda Edgar? She's the twin of 'Carla' on (television's) Cheers. She has a sharp, I cutting wit and doesn't take anything from lanyone," says administrative secretary Jacquie Winrow. Echo associate athletic director Fern Gardner and administrative i assistant Lisa Kelly, "Definitely Carla!" iSays swim coach Jim Wilson, "Linda runs Ithe athletic department. There is no doubt Ithat without Linda, the activities of the i athletic department would cease to exist." Does that prevailing feeling bother Ute athletic director Dr. Chris Hill? Nope. "The answer is, yes Linda does run the department. In fact, I check with Linda often to make sure I'm doing things right." Marketing director Marc Amicone claims, "Linda knows a little bit about everything that happens in the department - both gossip and work related. Linda either knows everything or knows who does." Edgar, in charge of distributing office keys, evoked this comment from sports information secretary and assistant softball coach Michele "Missy" Townsend: "If you lose your keys, your life is over." Johnson elicits mutually strong reactions from her colleagues. "Carolyn is the nonconformist in the department," says receptionist Evelyn O'Donnell. Tom Stewart, director of development, contributes, "Carolyn is an institution at the University of Utah. She knows absolutely everyone and is the greatest reference on the" background of the department. She's a historian." Adds Amicone, "Carolyn knows history like no one else. She knows everybody who's been here at the U. for the past 200 years." Comments Winrow, "Carolyn is the diplomat of the department. She never takes sides." Johnson, who oversees the Ute swim team members who work in the scholarship box at home football games, "remembers things about some of my swimmers betterthan I do," admits Wilson. Despite long work weeks, both Edgar and Johnson find time for other pastimes. One of Edgar's favorites is attending Utah- Brigham Young events and making elaborate preparations for them. Before donning her standard BY Who? or Yuck! tee shirts, Edgar dresses a mannequin as 'BYU Betty' and exhibits her in the Huntsman Center reception area. "I dress her appropriately in blue and white. She usually has a Twinkie, lots of blue eyeshadow and a Jello cookbook. I'm always generous with her curves and of course she has a big blond bouffant. Sometimes she's in a maternal stage and she's always looking for a man," said Edgar. Johnson's varied outside interests include an active political life. One of just three women on staff when she first hooked up with Utah athletics two decades ago, Johnson finds herself in another minority on the political front. A district chairman for the Democratic party, Johnson rallies support for her candidates in a primarily Republican state. Liberal minded and unabashedly outspoken, the Salt Lake native optimistically predicts a time of change ahead on the Utah political scene. 'Years ago, the Republican party was the minority here. Politics has a pendulum type nature. Some day it could swing back," hopes Johnson, a delegate to several local conventions. Johnson also served for six years on the board of directors of the Crossroads Urban Center-a group for the disadvantaged. She is a new board member for Friendship Manor, a retirement community. It's only fitting that the two - close friends both on and off the job - attend a variety of Ute athletic events. "I try to see some of every sport, but it's impossible to get to every single event," sighs Johnson. "My favorites are the NCAA Basketball Tournament and the NCAA Gymnastics Championships, but I go and cheer at nearly all of our events," says Edgar. Just another part of their "job description." ^fe Red Butte Rising A $5 million campaign to develop Red Butte Gardens and Arboretum into one of the West's pre-eminent botanical gardens.

Tanner For information call 581-3802 '.991 FOOTBi Page 7 A*T*0*Y DAVIS By Liz Abel, Sports Information Director Anthony Davis was looking for someone to believe in him. The University of Utah was looking for the unbelievable. They both got their wish. Davis, recruited out of high school by Washington, made a preliminary stop at Spokane Falls Community College where he quickly rose to the top of his gridiron class. Unfortunately, he lagged behind in his academic classes. Two years passed without Davis passing the requirements for an associate of arts (AA) degree. Into his third year - with no football and no degree - Davis saw Washington, then second choice Washington State, drop out of his football future. Still, Davis was thinking Pac-10. "As the end of my third year approached, I was thinking more about USC and UCLA," said Davis. Then Coach McMackin (Utah defensive coordinator Greg McMackin) called and asked me to visit. All the other schools were waiting to see if I would really get my AA degree. Coach McMackin wanted me to sign right then. I wanted to go where someone believed in me." Coveted might be a better word. The fact was, while Davis was battling the books, a brand new Ron McBride-led Ute coaching staff was fighting the laughable defensive legacy it inherited. The Utes finished last (106th) in the nation defensively in 1989. Not surprisingly, defense became first-year head coach McBride's priority. Davis became McMackin's priority. "My job was to build a defense here at Utah. Anthony was the kind of athlete we needed - one who could run, was smart, had great instincts and a great attitude," said McMackin. "Alot of schools recruited him, but they didn't think he would get his AA degree. I talked to his past teachers and counselors and learned that AD was a smart kid. He'd just gotten away with whatever his teachers had allowed him. I said we would do anything legal to help support him in getting his degree. I knew he could play football and I knew he could get his AA degree." Once at Utah, Davis wasted no time proving he still knew football. Ten tackles PAGE 8 (three for a loss) by Utah's new middle linebacker led the Utes to a 19-0 road win against Utah State-their first shutout in nine years. The following week, "AD" totalled 14 tackles, three for a loss, an interception and a caused fumble in an upset of Minnesota at the Metrodome. Davis received Western Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week honors both weeks. The Davis-led defense was making some believers. "People were coming up to me and saying, "Wow, we never had a defense here,' It felt really good," recalled Davis. The good feelings didn't carry over physically. Ankle and wrist injuries knocked Davis from the lineup for three games. He played out the season with a cast on his wrist and a tender, tightly wrapped ankle. Despite the injury-shortened season, he was a first-team all-WAC defensive pick and Utah's defensive MVP. He finished second on the team in total tackles (87), and first in unassisted tak-cles (59) and tackles for a loss (10). "I've never been injury prone and it was hard not playing," said Utah's 6'1", 225- pound seniorto be. "I am apart of the team. If I'm not 100-percent, the team isn't. I felt like I could have played more - you don't feel pain when you're out on the field -but the coaches wouldn't let me." Meanwhile, off the field, Davis' pain tolerance for classes skyrocketed. "I've always been smart enough; it's just I was immature at Spokane Falls and women were my downfall," groaned the 22-year-old, whose wide, infectious grin seems to stretch the expanse of the far flung West-em Athletic Conference. "With (Ute linebacker coach) Bill Smith, there is no time for women now. It's all go to class, go to study table, go lift weights, go to practice, go to meetings. I've matured a lot, too. Now, I really want to get my degree in sociology. I used to be ecstatic to get a 2.0 GPA. Now I'd be disappointed with that. This coaching staff really believes in its players. The coaches monitor our academic progress constantly and make sure we're staying in fine," said Davis, who is on target to graduate two quarters after his eligibility is up. The only grades suffering in Davis' life] now are those of opposing offensive linemen, none of whom can stop his beelineto the ball. "The key is my instinct to the ball; not my size or my quickness," said Davis. "Everybodyasksmehowlknowwheretlie ball is. I have no answer. Sometimes I a s i myself, 'How did I know that?' Ten percent of the time I'm wrong; 90-percent I'm right I'll take those odds any day. Where the ball goes, I go." Davis wants his team to go to the top of the WAC in his senior season. He and his teammates have set a goal to crack the top 30 defensively, after boosting Utah 25 spots in their first year on board. Claims Davis, "People say we can't make our defensive goal in a passing conference like the WAC and they say we can't win the league title. But it's the 22 guys on the field who know what's going on. Everybody else is just an observer." Observers and soon-to-be believers, if Davis gets his way. i f TY OF UTAH U^lVfRs^YOFUTAH The University of Utah is situated in one of the nation's most appealing locations. To the east, the towering Wasatch Mountains are snow-capped billboards for a series of popular ski resorts. To the west shimmers a landlocked sea - the Great Salt Lake. Five minutes from the U. is the center of Salt Lake City. With a metropolitan population in excess of one million, Salt Lake City is the hub of the Intermountain West. A Census Bureau poll listed Salt Lake as the ninth-fastest growing area in the nation. Cool canyons, a four-season climate and an outdoor lifestyle make Utah a still-beckoning frontier. The world-famous snow and abundance of ski resorts within an hour of Salt Lake International Airport helped Salt Lake City win the United States' bid as host city for the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics. The University, itself, has a front rank reputation for its spectacular advances into the world of the artificial. The first total artificial heart was developed and implanted in a human at the University Medical Center. The widely-acclaimed "Utah Arm" prothesis and Utah-developed wearable artificial kidney show why the area earned the complimentary title of Bionic Valley. The University's Human Toxicology Laboratory is known world-wide, and its graduate programs in the various sciences have been cited with the nation's best. The ballet and modem dance programs at Utah are also nationally renowned. Frequently described as Utah's economic engine, the U. generates more than $400 million annually in non-tax revenue and is one of the state's largest employers. It has the only medical, social work and pharmacy schools in a multi-state area, and ranks 22nd amongpublic institutions (38th among all universities) in federal research grants. Nearly one million people enjoy the University of Utah's athletic, entertainment and cultural offerings each year. Utah has earned a reputation as a site of championships in the athletic arena-serving as host to a number of national tournaments (eight in the last decade alone). Those national events include six national Women's Gymnastics Championships, the 1979 NCAA Basketball Final Four, two Women's Tennis Championships and the 1981 and '91 NCAA Ski Championships. The U. provides undergraduate, graduate and professional education to nearly 24,000 students-drawn from all 50 states, as well as numerous foreip countries. Students attend classes on the beautiful 1,500 acre pedestrian campus, adorned with flowering malls, fountains and plazas. Architectural landmarks include the Medical Center, which overlooks the entire campus; the striking and comfortable Alumni House; the domed Huntsman Center (which seats 15,000) and the five-level Marriott Library. % The car that deserves a bow, is the car that isn't taking one 'Same road, same speed as previous three photographs. _CUNE'S INFINITI The performance of the average luxury car suspension is fine if average is where you've set your standards.

Rice Stadium seats 35,000 and there is not a bad seat in the house. A major remodeling took place in 1982, when the field was lowered nine-and-a-half feet, with new seats added along the sidelines and in the south end zone. The remodeling made each seat even more intimate with the action on the field. Another result of the stadium upgrading was the construction of the Spence Clark Football Center at the south end of the field. The building, made possible by a $1 million gift from local businessman Spence Clark, houses new locker rooms for both teams and game officials, a stadium club room and a band room. Several new, convenient concession stands were also installed. One of the most recent additions to Rice Stadium was a four-color matrix scoreboard. Nearly any kind of visual effect can be produced by the 4,600 individually controlled lights in the matrix - adding yet another dimension of fun to Ute football. The stadium floor features AstroTurf- installed during the latest renovation. It is the same kind of AstroTurf present in Texas Stadium. An earlier remodeling of Rice Stadium occurred in 1972, when the first artificial Rice Stadium - Top 15 Crowds 1. Brigham Young 2. Brigham Young 1982 1984 3. San Diego State 1986 4. Brigham Young 5.

A new lighting system and new ticket and concession areas were also introduced at that time. The first rudiments of what is now Rice Stadium were completed in 1927. Constant improvements and remodeling projects since that time have resulted in the current beautiful and practical facility. The stadium is a timber and concrete construction, with dirt fill. The press box, located on the west side of the facility, was completed in 1966, in yet another timely renovation. In 1989, the press box was upgraded and the newly revamped press area was named the John Mooney Press Area, in honor of longtime Ute football writer-former Salt Lake Tribune sports editor John Mooney. In 1927, the Utes inaugurated the sta-i dium with a 44-6 win over Colorado Mines. Utah's 1982 game against Brighana Young drew the largest crowd ever to see a game in Rice Stadium, when 36,250 people came to see the annual instate battle. 9 j PAGK 14 UT* ADMINISTRATION Dr. Arthur K Smith, President Dr. Arthur K. Smith will take the reins of the University of Utah in September, when he settles into his new post as U. president. With a background as broad and diverse is the multidimensional University of Jtah, Smith looks ideal for the top seat. He was named Utah's 12th president on fune 26,1991 - relinquishing his title as nterim president and acting chief execut e officer of South Carolina's nine-cam- DUS system. The 53-year-old Smith, whose permanent position at USC was as its pro- /ost and executive vice president for aca-iemic affairs, had served as interim president at the institution since July of 1990. As director of the South Carolina sys- :em, Smith held full responsibility and executive authority for all USC's affairs, including matters involving intercollegiate athletics, public relations and university development. In his previous position as provost and executive vice president, he held responsibility for the overall direction of academic affairs on the Columbia campus and for the coordination of academic matters for the entire nine-campus USC system. As provost, all academic deans reported to Smith. He went to South Carolina from the State University of New York (SUNY) in Binghamton, where he served as vice president for administration. At SUNY-Binghamton, Smith acted as chief budget and financial officer. In addition to his duties as a full-time administrator at the school, he was a professor of political science, provost for graduate studies and research, and chairman of the Department of Political Science in New York. Smith's academic career began at the U.S. Naval Academy, where he earned his bachelor's degree in engineering in 1959. He went on to receive a master's degree in international relations and Latin American studies from New Hampshire in 1966. A Ph.D. in international politics and Latin American studies from Cornell followed (1970). A commissioned officer for the United States Navy from 1959-65, Smith attained a rank of full lieutenant as a naval aviator. His background also includes a visiting professor appointment at the Centra de Estudios Internacionales, El Colegio de Mexico in Mexico City from 1968-69. He taught at both New Hampshire and Cornell briefly, as well. Listed in Who's Who in America since 1980, Smith has authored numerous books, articles and monographs. He belongs to a variety of professional organizations. A native of Deny, N.H., Smith and his wife June are the parents of three children, ages 30, 29 and 19. & Dr. Chris P. Hill, Director of Athletics Dr. Chris P. Hill has established himself as ahighly-respected administrator in his four years as director of athletics at Utah. He is a mem- )er of the College Football Association CFA) Athletic Directors' Committee and is ilso on the Executive Committee of Div-sionl- A Athletic Directors. Under Hill's direction, Ute athletics ave become a national force. The women's ymnastics team won the 1990 NCAA Championship and the men's basketball earn reached the 1991 'Sweet Sixteen.' Jid Hill's insistence on academic perfor-lance has improved Utah's athlete-gradation rate dramatically. He was instru-lental in the completion of the George S. •ccles Tennis Facility and the Dee Smith Football Facility-two of the finest of their kind in the entire nation. The former director of development at the U. instigated tremendous growth in his two years as an athletic department fund-raiser. Hill's appointment as development director in 1985 marked a return to the University of Utah for the New Jersey native. He first came on board as a graduate assistant basketball coach for Bill Foster (1973-74), and later served as assistant Ute basketball coach under Jerry Pimm (1979-81). Between his two stints in the Utah athletic department, Hill was executive director of United Cerebral Palsy of Utah (1981-85). Under his leadership, the service agency attracted $750,000 in federal, state and private funding to develop a critically needed housing project for the severely handicapped. In 1984, Hill received an Outstanding Service Award from the Utah Recreation Therapy Association. He was awarded a Milton Bennion Fellowship in 1981. Hill remains active on issues concerning people with handicaps. As an undergraduate, Hill lettered three years and was co-captain of the 1971-72 Rutgers basketball team. In 1972, he graduated from Rutgers with a bachelor's degree in mathematics. A master's of education degree (1974) and a Ph.D. in educational administration (1982)-both from Utah-followed. He taught in the U.'s special education department from 1983- 85. Hill coached boys' basketball at Granger High (Utah) from 1975-79, winning class 4A coach-of-the-year honors his first year. Hill is married to the former Kathy Cronin, who is a clinical instructor in the U. special education department. They have two children: Alyson (13) and Christopher (9). & 001 TTfifYTTI Bam 17 *f*>A<> CO4CH RON McBRIDE RonMcBrideis living proof of the •you play the way you practice' adage. McBride spent 25 years practicing for last year's head coaching debut. His practice consisted of assisting at the likes of Utah, Arizona and Wisconsin, to name just a few-and it concentrated on coaching inspired, physical football. The drills paid off. Under McBride's leadership, the 1990 Utes played with abandon. Defense, crisp tackles and hard hits-long forgotten in Utah football - returned with McBride, who served two separate stints as a Utah assistant coach in the late 70s and mid-'80s. His 1990 club opened the season with the first U. shutout in 10 years (19-0 at Utah State). A week later in Minneapolis, the McBride-coached Utes upset Minnesota, 35-29, aided by a 91-yard return of a blocked field goal as time expired. His rookie campaign ended with a 4-7 record, a revived defense and high hopes for the future. But then, McBride, who landed his current post after three years as assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Arizona, always saw Utah in his future. "It has always been my dream to be the head coach at the University of Utah," he said at a December 1990 press conference announcing his hiring. "If I had a choice of any job in the country, Utah would be my choice. It's my home and my school. I'm looking forward to the challenge and I intend to start right away. My focus will be on the players. It's important to me that every player involved in the program has a tremendous work ethic toward academics, football and his life goals." On the field, McBride's first priority went to Utah's downtrodden defense. His work paid off, as the Utes rose 25 places from their 1989 last place national standing on defense (106th in NCAA Division I). One of McBride's new recruits, Anthony Davis, became the first Ute linebacker in six years to make the all-WAC first team. Known as a players' coach, McBride coined the acronym MAFU while at Arizona to explain his philosophy. MAFU stands for mental toughness, aggressiveness, fanatical effort and unity. As assistant head coach and offensive line coach at Arizona from 1987-89, McBride helped the Wildcats to a second-place Pac- 10 finish in 1989 and a berth in the Copper Bowl. The quality of McBride's offensive line was evident in the 'Cats' rushing success. Arizona led the Pac-10 in rushing all three seasons he was there. Coaching a position where recognition is slight, McBride's offensive linemen gathered numerous citations. Glenn Parker, an offensive tackle, was a first-team all-Pac-10 selection and a second-team All-America choice. Joe Tofflemire, another McBride disciple to earn second-team All-America accolades, was a four-time all-conference pick. Tofflemire, recipient of the Morris Award -given annually to the outstanding lineman in the Pac-10 - was a second round draft choice of the Seattle Seahawks. Before going to Arizona, McBride wrapped up the second of two stops at Utah -serving as Ute offensive line coach from 1985-86. McBride spent the 1983 and '84 seasons as offensive line coach at Wisconsin. From 1977-82, he was offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Utah. During that time, the Utes posted a 35-30-1 record. In eight total years as an assistant at the U., he produced seven all-WAC offensive linemen, including Dean Miraldi, Wayne Jones and Dave Cullity-who moved on to the NFL. Between McBride's most recent assistant coaching positions at Utah and Arizona, he directed the offensive line for a Wisconsin team which went 14-8-1 from 1983-84 and played in the 1984 Hall of Fame Bowl. At Wisconsin, he instructed Paul Gruber-the first lineman taken in the 1985 NFL draft-and Jeff Dellenbach, the most valuable lineman in the Big Ten and a second-team AH-American. In 25 years of college football, which also included stints at Cal State-Long Beach, Cal-Riverside, Gavilan Junior College and San Jose State, the 51-year-old South Gate, Calif, native has been involved in 22 winning seasons. Thirty of his proteges have advanced to the professional ranks. He began his coaching career in 1965 at San Jose State, assuming the roles of freshman team coach, defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. From 1966-68, he was defensive coordinator and baseball coach at Piedmont Hills High School in San Jose. Gavilan Junior College was McBride's next stop, where he was offensive coordinator and offensive line coach from 1969-71. He then jumped to a position as offensive coordinator at Cal-River side, where his 1972 and '73 teams compiled 8-3 and 9-2 records, respectively. The next three years were spent as offensive coordinator at Cal State-Long Beach, during which time the '49ers went 23-10, McBride took up coaching after com pleting a stellar playing career of his own, An all-city football and baseball standout at Los Angeles' South Gate High from 1954-57, he went on to become team captain at San Jose State, where he played football from 1959-62. Following his days as a Spartan linebacker, McBride played professional football with San Jose of the USA League, where he was a linebacker and defensive coordinator. A1964 San Jose State graduate, McBride earned a bachelor's degree in secondary education. He and his wife Vicky are parents of four children - Danny (32), Mike (30), Jill (27) and Kelly (24).

JONATHAN DANIEUALLSPORT USA LET THE GAMES GIN! The Race for No. 1 Now that the dust has settled in the Colorado-Georgia Tech controversy of 1990, it's time to start talking about a new, and possibly unanimous choice for the '91 champion. The sun is shining in the state of Florida, where both the Seminoles and Gators have a chance at the top spot. Florida State, which finished fourth in both polls at the end of last season, returns 17 starters off a 10-2 team. Only a rough schedule could derail Bobby Bowden's squad from the No. 1 track. Meanwhile, Steve Spurrier's team from Gainesville is coming off probation and will be ready to challenge. Gator quarterback Shane Matthews and a steady defense make Florida a team to keep an eye on in '91. Several other bonafide contenders will make it an interesting year. Georgia Tech and Shawn Jones will challenge, and Michigan is expected to improve under Gary Moeller. Out west, Washington was expected to be a force, but a season-ending injury to quarterback Mark Brunell may have brought the Huskies back to the Pac (-10), and within reach of USC and up-and- coming UCLA. And then there are the teams who always seem to be in it-Notre Dame, Miami and Colorado. The Fighting Irish have quarterback Rick Mirer and a still-powerful offense, but the defense is suspect. Miami's success starts at quarterback, and any hopes of No. 1 will fall on Gino Torretta or challenger Bryan Fortay. The Buffaloes have the same dilemma, as Darian Hagan attempts to come back after major knee surgery. With or without Hagan, Colorado still has plenty of talent, especially on defense. TOUCHDOWN ILLUSTRATED LET THE GAMES BEGIN Conference Capers College football is full of uncertainties, but you can be sure that Miami will challenge for the Big East crown. The newest conference is already making waves as the bowls jockey for the rights to the Hurrica. .er, the Big East winner. Arkansas has left the Southwest Conference and will join South Carolina in the Southeastern Conference in 1992, making a very powerful and lucrative alliance of teams. Florida State will join the Atlantic Coast Conference in '92, while Penn State, the school that started it all, will begin Big Ten league play in 1993. Saturday's Heroes-Gone Twenty-nine underclassmen applied for the 1991 NFL draft, including such notables as Chuck Webb of Tennessee, USC's Todd Marinovich, and Clemson's punter-kicker Chris Gardocki. The Heisman Ty Detmer is back to reclaim the Heisman, an honor some felt should have gone to The Rocket, so the BYU star has something to prove this season. Houston's QB Dave Klingler will also be a serious challenger. Other prospective challengers, who also happen to be quarterbacks, include Georgia Tech's Shawn Jones and Florida State's Casey Weldon. Rule Changes Goal post widths have been reduced from 23 feet 4 inches to 18 feet 6 inches. Next year, kickers will be blindfolded. Also, offensive holding and clipping penalties will be spotted at the point of infraction, not the line of scrimmage. ••• COACHING CHANGES School New Coach Former Coach Army Bob Sutton (Assistant) Jim Young Boston College Tom Coughlin (NFL Assistant) Jack Bicknell Bowling Green Gary Blackney (Ohio State assistant) Moe Ankney Kent St Pete Cordelli Jr. (Notre Dame assistant) Dick Crum Long Beach St Willie Brown (assistant) George Allen LSU Curley Hallman (Southern Miss head coach) Mike Archer Mississippi St Jackie Sherrill Rockey Felker Northern Illinois Charlie Sadler (Oklahoma assistant) Jerry Pettibone Oregon St Jerry Pettibone (Northern Illinois head coach).Dave Kragthorpe Purdue Jim Colletto (Ohio State assistant) Fred Akers SMU Tom Rossley (NFL assistant) Forrest Gregg Southern Miss Jeff Bower (assistant) Curley Hallman Syracuse Paul Pasqualoni (assistant) Dick Macpherson Toledo Gary Pinkel (Washington assistant) Nick Saban Vanderbilt Gerry DiNardo (Colorado assistant) Watson Brown Wyoming Joe Tiller (Washington St. assistant) Paul Roach Ty Detmer tries for a Heisman repeat, while Darian Hagan attempts to overcome injury for another national championship.

Special recognition for the players that go the distance from the company that does too. Each week during the regular season, Division I-A players will be honored in six categories- longest run from scrimmage, longest pass completion, longest punt return, longest kickoff return, longest punt and longest field goal. AT&T will award a plaque to each individual player, and will make a contribution in the player's name to his school's general scholarship fund. At the conclusion of the season, AT&T will present Long Distance Awards based on season-long statistics in each of the above categories.

All you need to reach out!m ^ AT&T BUILDING Putting together an offensive line takes^ more than just throwing five big bruisers together. BY ED CONNOLLY JAND JOHN BARAGQNA "If you robbed a bank and didn't want anybody to know who you were, become [an offensive lineman," advised Lou Holtz "of Notre Dame. But while the offensive line has been a ticket to instant obscurity for scores of football players, coaches agree that holes don't open and pockets aren't formed without them. A strong front five submerged in a cloud of dust is what ignites the offense. "We're probably as skilled a football team in the nation as far as throwing, catching, running, and things like that," Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden said. "But the one place that can be taken away from you is on that line of scrim-image. If you cannot control that, you can forget that skill stuff." Holtz agreed: "Your offensive line is the heart and soul of your team. Their competitiveness, their pride, their toughness-it all starts with the offensive line." Offensive lines aren't developed the way that most of the football team is. Voids in the skill positions can be filled by recruiting, whereas the offensive line is blended and built over the years into a cohesive unit. And, as opposed to pro football, college lines change every year as players graduate and recruits arrive. "The hardest thing is to develop an offensive line," Holtz explained. "It takes longer. Everything about playing the offensive line is very unnatural.there's a million things to learn in not only what to do, but how to do it." Ed Connolly is a freelance writer and correspondent for Baseball Digest and Baseball Bulletin. BLOCK e Although it would appear that size would be the most important trait a coach looks for when recruiting linemen, and while it probably wouldn't hurt if the prospective player looks like he can bench press a Volvo, bulk is not the main ingredient. "You really don't like to have them too heavy," said Pat Morris, offensive line coach at Michigan State. "Some guys who weigh 280 in high school might be too much. Sometimes you like the guy that weighs 245-250 and can grow into 280. "The first thing we look for is do they play another sport? Do they play basketball?- which would indicate that they have good feet. If they take part in track, we look to see how quick they get through the pit if they throw the discus." One of the trademarks of Bear Bryant's strong Alabama teams of the mid-'60s was a small, quick line. The biggest lineman they had was Cecil Dowdy at 206 pounds. In 1964 and '65, they were national champions, while in '66 they finished 11-0. a small, quick line. The biggest lineman they had was Cecil Dowdy at 206 pounds. In 1964 and '65, they were national champions, while in '66 they finished 11-0. The good offensive lineman is fast enough to get out quickly on the sweep and big enough to knock people down.

Speed; quickness; good lateral movement; self-motivated Bulk; strength; height for pass protection; unselfish. X X Phil Fulmer, offensive line coach at Tennessee, pointed out that not all of his best players were 6-5, 280. "I've had three guys here at Tennessee that were 6-1, 260 that are playing pro football. Harry Galbreath started for the Dolphins, Raleigh McKenzie started for the Bills, and John Bruni started for the Buccaneers." Occasionally, coaches use other, rather selective guidelines when looking at a high school player. Hudson Houck, now with the Rams, related this experience when he was recruiting Keith Van Home for the University of Southern California in the mid-'70s. "I recruited Keith out of high school and he was a basketball player," Houck said. "He fouled out of every game I saw him in, which I thought was a good sign. It showed that he was aggressive." Once the potential linemen arrive on campus as freshmen, a typical school will spend three years developing a player in order to get two years of contribution. "If you can get two years out of a lineman as a starter, he's doing a good job," said Morris. "That's probably the basic attrition of a lineman. If you get three years that's excellent. If for some reason you get four years then he may be a first round draft choice." It's during the development process that a player's attitude and intelligence take over. OAs they get older," said French, "the thing you're looking at is intelligence, their learning process, how fast they pick up things. Knowing where to go to get from point A to point B and how to get there. "Some kids have good size, but don't have good feet and still get from point A to point B because of their intelligence- knowing how to get there quickly." And the myth of the big, dumb lineman is debunked the minute you consider the sophisticated defenses they confront each Saturday. Washington Head Coach Don James noted that "defenses don't ever stay in the same spot-they either shift or they stunt. The linemen are always looking at check-offs all the time. "They go up there and they don't even know what's gonna happen from the standpoint of their own play, let alone the defense. And they have to think so well and so quickly." Another consideration once a player arrives on campus is determining exactly where he will play. The first question is whether they'll play offense or defense. The consensus is that the defense usually gets the better athletes. "Our poorest athletes, and I hate to hurt their feelings," said Bowden, "are offensive linemen. If we have a great down lineman he usually plays defense. If we have a great tight end type he'll probably play linebacker. Our offensive line gets the last choice." Holtz takes the matter a step further by offering psychological profiles. "The offensive linemen are usually very well organized in their life. They have a tendency to get married earlier; they have a tendency to be a little more serious, a little more reserved." Houck believes that it takes a person who gets satisfaction from his position and "doesn't need a pat on the back from other people. He knows he does a good job and that's enough." Once a lineman is selected for the offense, the next question concerns which specific position he will play.
