•Assistant Coaches-

Tommy Lee Offensive Coordinator/Quarterbacks

Bill Smith Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers

M ontana’s national ranking in offense, especially in the passing gam e, was largely due to the creative mind of Tommy Lee, and the time and effort he spends in fine tuning UM’s quarterbacks. At Portland State he was the offen sive coordinator and in charge of recruiting for two seasons before coming with Don Read to UM. He was head coach at Willamette University from 1974 to 1982 and an assistant there the previous two years. He has 10 years of head coaching experience at Central Catholic High School in Portland. At Willamette he was an N.A.I.A. All-American quarterback in 1962, and received his B.A. degree there in 1963 in Physical Education. He later earn ed his m aster’s degree in education at Willamette. He played for Ottawa in the C anadian Football League. He served as athletic director at Willamette from 1974-82 and was an associate professor there as well. “I like a pro type of offense with emphasis on the passing gam e, involving the running backs as well as the receivers,” Lee said. “That offense has multiple sets with m o tion. I like to keep things simple with the end results being sound execution,” Lee continued. “I also like to establish good rapport with the players and ex change ideas and have good one-on-one relationships with the players and be caring.” Lee and his wife, Haunani, have three children. Tomm y is 45 years old. One son, Pohai, is a wide receiver at UM.

Smith was at Portland State University with Read since 1980, and was defen sive coordinator there, until coming to UM in 1986. He has coached virtual ly every defensive position during his tenure at PSU. He has nine years of coaching experience in the prep ranks in Idaho, Oregon and California. His 1984 PSU team gave up no touchdow ns in league play. Smith also handled some of the administrative duties at PSU and does the same at UM, especially in the area of financial aid. He was an All-Coast center at the University of Oregon and graduated from there in 1967, earning a B.A. in History. He received a m aster’s in Education at UO. Smith, 42, played professionally for the Pittsburgh Steelers before being sidelined with an injury. He played junior college ball for his father, Lyle, a former athletic director at Boise State. BSU’s football field was recently renam ed the Lyle Smith Field in his father’s honor. “We try to create a situation defense anticipating what the offense is going to do. Then we can overplay that situation and react to m ake the play if we get crossed u p ,” Smith said. “I like to put pressure on the quarterback, and hopefully we can get that from our four front people,” he said. “Speed is a big factor in the Big Sky Conference, as well as the surprise elem ent. You shouldn’t blitz in just third and long situations, but try to be unpredictable.” Bill and his wife, Janine, have two children, a son, Riley, 12, and daughter, Ashley, 10.

Bob B eers Defensive Line

Vic Clark Offensive Line

One of the bright spots defensively in ’86 for the Grizzlies was the mid season surge by the defense, especially the defensive front thanks to the ef forts of Beers, who returned to his alma mater after a 15-year hiatus. A former University of M ontana football great, Beers was an inaugural mem ber of the Grizzly Football Hall of Fame in 1982. He has 17 years of coaching experience, most recently as the head coach at West Linn High School in Oregon. He began his coaching career at his alma mater, coaching the linebackers for UM head coach Jack Swarthout in 1970-71. After that he was an assistant at M ontana Tech from 1971-73. He has coached in the prep ranks for 12 seasons, beginning at Butte Central in 1974. He was an All-American at Col umbia Basin Junior College and at M ontana (1967-68). Beers, 40, is a 1970 graduate of UM with a degree in History and Health, Physical Education. His record as a high school coach was 64-35. “I think coaching is like teaching and is an educational experience that you want to make as positive as you can for the young men you coach,” Beers said. “I want to make it a positive experience playing football and going to school at the University of M ontana.” Beers and his wife, Janelle, have a boy, Bobby, 14, and a daughter, Cari, 13.

Vic Clark, former assistant football coach at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, is in his third year as the offensive line coach for the Grizzlies. Clark, 39, has 16 years of coaching in college and secondary schools in the Midwest. He and Billy Mitchell started the Kentucky Wesleyan football pro gram from scratch three years ago. Prior to taking the position at Owensboro, Clark was head football coach at Pekin High School in Illinois. He was there three years, from 1980-82. In 1979 he coached at Campbellsville High School in Kentucky, where he coached a team that was 1-9 the previous season to a 9-1 record and a berth in the state playoffs.

Clark received his B.A. degree at Indiana State in 1971 in Earth Sciences and Geography. He earned his master’s at Louisville in 1977. “I’m very m uch a believer in creating a positive environment to get positive responses from the players. I used to say positive things all the time, but now I feel the players should earn it. I try to task analyze what my players need to do and work in practice to mimic what an athlete needs to do in a gam e. All my drills are geared that w ay.” Clark and his wife, Karen, have a four-year-old daughter, Jennifer, and a son, R.T., a oneyear-old.

A ssistant Coaches

Jerom e Souers Defensive Backs

Robin Pflugrad Wide Receivers/Running Backs

Souers (pronounced Sow-Ers) has 12 years of coaching experience, beginning at the high school level in Oregon. Before coming to UM, the 29-year-old was the secondary coach at Portland State for two seasons. He was the defensive coor dinator and secondary coach at Western Washington for a season before coming to PSU, and he coached at “AAA” prep level for eight years before that. His high school stints were at North Eugene and Willamette High Schools. His father, Dwight, was a successful, well-known coach in Eugene. Jerome earned a B.A. in Physical Education at Oregon in 1983 and earned his masters in P.E. at PSU in 1985. His wife’s name is Paula. “We believe in playing aggressive, hard-nosed defense,” Souers said. “We keep it simple, work hard at technique, and keep the emphasis on execution of our coverage responsibility.”

Pflugrad (pronounced Flew-Grad) will wear more hats this season as he coaches the wide receivers/running backs and also serves as UM’s academic coordinator. He was a standout wide receiver at Portland State during the Neil Lomax era and was team captain and a second team Academic All-American in 1979. From 1983-85, he coached the wide receivers, was responsible for the skill positions in the kicking game and Director of Football promotions at PSU. His Mt. Hood Junior College teams were 20-2 in 1976-77 and 1st in the nation in ’77 when he was all-conference. He was receiver and secondary coach at South Eugene High School in 1982 and has served as a coach and counselor in football camps since 1981. He received his B.S. degree at PSU in Business Administration in 1980 and his Oregon Teacher’s Certificate in Business Education in 1984. He and coach Jerome Souers played high school football together at South Eugene High. Pflugrad, 29, is married to the former Marlene Smith. They are expecting their first child this fall. “I feel that a 4 .6-4.7 (speed in the 40-yard dash) kid can become a complete receiver,” Pflugrad said. “I can relate to those kids. The important thing for a receiver is to catch the ball with your hands. If you can do that then you can catch it with your body. I am also a stickler on downfield blocking and spend a lot of time in that area,” he said. “We go beyond players being just eligible to play and push them to realize they can also be an academic All-Big Sky player. We strive for academic as well as athletic excellence.”

Outlook, Honors Candidates

Paul Lamb

OUTLOOK: 17 Starters Return After surprising several teams with a wide-open passing at tack and vastly improved defense, you can bet the Univer sity of Montana’s 1987 foes won’t take the Grizzlies too lightly. Montana returns 17 starters from a year ago, led by first team All-Big Sky Conference offensive tackle Larry Clarkson and second team defensive end Pat Foster. The Grizzlies were 6-4 overall last season and 3-4 in league.

Senior Tony Lambert is an honors candidate at wide receiver and had 569 yards receiving last season. Tight ends Paul Lamb, Brad Salonen and Rob Kunka all return. On the offensive line guards Bill Venard (also an honors candidate) and Kirk Scrafford are back, along with center Scott Hartman. Hartman was an honorable mention all leaguer in ’86. Soph Tim Polich or JC transfer Tim Bradford will start at the other tackle slot. In the backfield Mike Ehlers, Jody Farmer and Renard Col eman are back. Junior John Huestis will also see plenty of time at fullback. “Potentially we are a better football team ,” said secondyear coach Don Read. “We have a good core of returning guys. Overall we will have good quickness at receiver and in the backfield. No blazing speed, but solid. “With our experience and a year in the conference, plus our kids know the system, all things point to a good overall year,” Read said. “The big question is Pease and Rice. We’re definitely going to have to be better as a team. “Last year versus this year is that our schedule is tougher and we’ll know right off the bat how good we are since Portland State, NAU and Reno will all be good,” Read said. “That will put more pressure on the quarterback and the overall team .” Not only are nine starters back on defense, but so is ILB Mike Rankin, who had 71 tackles as a freshman starter. Rankin missed last season with a knee injury. Rankin, honors candidate Demidric Cooks (57 tackles), and juniors Kevin Bartsch (43TT) and Clay Clausen (2 ITT) make linebacker a solid position.

Mike Rankin (left) and Rick Sullivan The previous season UM was 3-8 overall. Perhaps the No. 1 key for UM this year will be replacing re co rd -settin g q u arterb ack B rent P ease and wide receiver/punter/returner Mike Rice on offense. Also gone on offense is all-league tackle Shawn Poole. Pease rewrote the passing record book at Montana, break ing several of Marty Mornhinweg’s single season and single game passing records. He passed for 3,056 yards and 30 touchdowns and led Division 1-AA in total offense with 309.4 a game. He was picked by the Minnesota Vikings in the 11th round of the NFL draft. Rice, a two-time All-American at UM, had 64 catches for 1,047 yards and 13 TDs, the two latter being school marks. He averaged 40.5 yards per punt and led 1-AA the previous year with a 44.7-yard average. He was chosen by the New York Jets in the 8th round. The frontrunner for the QB slot appears to be second-year frosh Scott Waak, a 6-3, 190-pounder. He could be pushed by JC transfer Tim Winter or fifth-year senior Scott Werbelow.

But, just as talent-laden is the defensive front, where all four starters return. Back with All-American candidate Foster are junior tackles Rick Sullivan and Jason Ray who started all 10 games in ’86. Sometime starter Ward Crawford, letterman Greg Giannini and redshirts J.C . Campbell and Scott Camper will all add quality playing time. “We are visibly more improved, as anticipated, on defense,” Read said. “That reflects on the kids being in our system and good, solid recruiting. We are adding more to our schemes, and have added confidence. Our defense im proved game-by-game last season.” The secondary returns good personnel, including Football N ew s All-American Tony Breland, who led the secondary with 60 stops and was 26th in the nation with 5 interceptions. Starters David Reeves, Greg Nygren and Scott Smith add quality depth, as does senior Nate Odden. JC transfer Quenton Richardson and transfer Tim Hauck will both push the incumbents for starting roles. The kicking game is a big question mark with Lamb or Farmer handling the punting. JC transfer Jake Schloesser is inexperienced at the collegiate level. “You don’t replace Rice,” Read said, “you just hope som eone picks up the slack.” Read said, “Reno looks like the team to beat again, but NAU, Idaho and the rest will be tough on any given day.”

-All-American CandidatesLARRY CLARKSON, OFFENSIVE TACKLE 6-7x/i, 308, Sr. from A bottsford, B.C. A first team Associated Press All-American last season, Clarkson is considered one of the top candidates for the Na tional Football League in the West this year. He has good strength and runs a consistent 5.0-5.1 in the 40-yard dash. A fifth-year senior, he has started every season since redshirting as a freshman. He has started at both tackle and guard during his career. Not only was he an All-American in 1986, but he was also an All-Big Sky Conference first-teamer and shared the Paul Weskamp Award, presented annually to the Outstanding Of fensive Lineman at UM. He has started in 32 consecutive games, 21 of which have been at offensive tackle. “Larry is potentially the best offensive tackle I’ve been around,” lauded UM head coach Don Read, who has 17 years of college coaching experience. “He has excellent feet, good strength and his technique is improving rapidly. “I can visualize him as being one of the top three NFL draft picks at his position this year,” Read said. Read continued, “I think he will be a dominant player in the Big Sky Conference and a team leader. He is equally as effective in blocking for the run and for the pass. I’ve coached two athletes who made it to the pros at offensive tackle, and I think he is a better player than them .” His potential in the professional ranks was evident in February of 1987, when he was the 7th overall pick of British Columbia in the Canadian Football League draft.

PAT FOSTER, DEFENSIVE END 6-5, 245, Sr. from Savage, Montana A two-time winner of Montana’s Larry Miller Award which is given every year to the team ’s Outstanding Defensive Lineman, Foster has started his last 21 games. In 1986 he was a second team All-Big Sky Conference choice and led the defensive line with 55 tackles, including 28 unassisted stops. He had a team-high 10 tackles for losses of 37 yards, and five sacks. Two seasons ago he was the No. 2 tackier on the defen sive line with 63 stops at defensive tackle. Since that season UM has gone from a 3-4 to a 4 -3 /5 -2 defensive front alignment. “I think Pat is one of the premier Division 1-AA defensive linemen in the country,” Read said. “He is extremely agile, aggressive and has a great attitude. He is one of the toughest competitors I have been around. “One thing that he possesses is a burning desire to win,” Read said. “He is popular with players and coaches. He is strong against the pass and a very effective pass rusher. H e’s dropped some weight (about 15 pounds) from last year, and it’s made him even quicker. He is potentially our 1987 quarterback sack leader.”

1987 Honors C andidates Demidric Cooks, Middle Linebacker 6-2, 2 3 5 , Sr. from San Jose, CA T he second leading returning tackier with 57 tackles in ’86, “C ookie” split starting tim e last year, but 1987 will be a different story. At 6-2, 2 3 5 , D em edric runs a 4 .8 in the 4 0 and will call the defensive signals at UM this year. H e started his college career with 12 tackles against N evadaR eno, 7 of which w ere unassisted. H e was th e co-w inner of the G olden H elm et A w ard (hardest hitter) last year. “H e is as fine of a linebacker as I’ve had the opportunity to c o a c h ,” said defensive coordinator/linebacker coach Bill Smith. Not only does he have the physical tools, but his experience playing other positions (tight end, fullback) enable him to anticipate an d react to w hat the offense is doing. H e is a leader w ho the other players respect. W e anticipate him being a deciding factor for us in som e gam es this se a so n .”

Tony Breland, Strong Safety 6-2, 190, Sr. from Renton, WA M ontana’s leading returning tackier, Tony was a 2 nd team Football N ew s All-American last season. H e had 60 tackles and w as one of the top interceptors in Division 1-AA with .50 a gam e and also forced three fum bles. H e has started at cornerback and both safety positions at UM since his so p h o m o re season. H e h ad 10 tackles against Idaho an d N orthern Arizona in 1986. “T ony’s size, sp eed an d n o se for the football give him trem en d o u s ra n g e ,” said Je ro m e S ouers, UM’s secondary coach. “H aving played corner an d free safety greatly im proves his ability to anticipate. His ability to play run an d the pass can be seen by his statistics last season. W e expect T ony to cap his senior year with a great se a so n .”

Tony Lambert, W ide R eceiver 5-10, 175, Sr. from Steilacoom , WA Tony had a superb junior season with 5 69 yards and 5 TDs in 1986. His 5 6 9 yards ranks him 7th in single season receiving yardage. H e caught a pass in every g am e last seaso n an d had three or m ore in seven gam es. H e had 6 catches for 152 yards and a TD against NAU and 8 for 121 and tw o scores vs. Idaho S tate. His 4 .4 -4 .5 sp eed in the 40 gives him professional-type sp eed . “T ony’s sp eed and em erg en ce into a dynam ic passing offense gives him two of th e things he n eed s for success,” said Robin Pflugrad, wide receiver coach for the Grizzlies. “H e is a very coachable player on an d off the field an d strives to im prove himself daily. I look forw ard to great things h a p pening to T ony his senior y e a r.”

Bill Venard, O ffensive Guard 6-3, 2 5 6 , Sr. from Albany, OR T he iron horse at UM, Bill played in every offensive series last year, except one. H e has started at guard and center at UM a n d could play tackle, if n e e d e d . H e also handles d eep snaps w hen n e e d e d . “Bill’s consistency a n d durability are his streng th s,” said offensive line coach Vic Clark. “H e could have played every play of every gam e if he h a d n ’t taken himself out of one gam e in which we w ere way ah ead . H e step p ed in for us last year and played center and handled snaps w hen Scott (H artm an) was out. He has an excellent football m ind an d is a solid leader in a doing way, not a rah -rah w ay .”

■Grizzly TriviaO ‘n r successive weeks in 1971 the Grizzlies hosted Idaho State and University of the Pacific. Those two team s’ coaches that year, Ed Cavanaugh at Idaho State and Pacific’s Homer Smith, would both go on to be head coach at West Point. From 1949 to 1969 the Grizzlies never won the week after their annual battle with the Bobcats. By contrast the four years Gene Carlson was Grizzly head coach, from 1976-79, the Grizzlies won each year the week after the Bobcat game. The Grizzlies have compiled a 56-77-1 record in Big Sky league play since the league was formed in 1963. The Bobcats and Grizzlies had never both been in the same football league until they were charter members of the Big Sky Conference in 1963. A win over the Bobcats this year would be the Grizzlies’ fourth of the 1980s, the most they have had in a decade since the 1950s. The Griz managed only three wins in both the 1960s and 1970s.

Jerry W illiams

Marty Mornhinweg, the Grizzlies’ all-time leading passer, had an international flavor in the beginning and ending of his career. He played his first game for the Griz against a Canadian team, Simon Fraser in 1980, and ended his career playing against Army in Japan in the Mirage Bowl in 1984. The Grizzlies are the only Big Sky Conference school not to have been involved in a game decided by the tie-breaker. The Grizzlies have had only one game end in a tie since the tie-breaker system was instituted and that was against Eastern Washington in 1984. Ironically enough EWU is now a league member. The 1937 Grizzlies were 7-1 and allowed only 28 points for the entire season. No team broke into double digits on the ’37 team. Grizzly coaches have had some notable coaching assignments after leaving Missoula: Bernie Bierman headed the Griz from 1919-21, then went on to coach the Minnesota Gophers from 1936-50, win two national champions and produce a Heisman Trophy winner, Bruce Smith. Bernard Oakes coached at Montana from 1931-34 and then was head coach at Wyoming from 1941-43. Jerry Williams was Grizzly head coach from 1955-57 and went on to be head coach at Calgary of the CFL from 1964-68 and the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles from 1969-71. Larry Donovan, who headed the Montana program from 1980-85, is currently an assistant with the British Columbia Lions of the CFL.

Brent P ea se

The Grizzlies have not shut out an opponent since they blanked Northern Arizona 27-0 in October 1974, a span of 130 games. The Grizzlies’ six wins last season under Don Read marked the second most wins by a first-year Grizzly coach; only the 7-3 record of Jack Swarthout’s 1967 team was better for first-year coach. The 1986 Grizzlies were only the fourth team in the school’s history to win more than four games after Oct. 15, only the 1947, 1969 and 1970 teams were able to equal that mark. Finishing with three wins in 1986 marked the first time since 1970 that the Grizzlies have ended the season with that many victories. Read became the first first-year head coach to claim a victory for the Grizzlies over the Bobcats since Jerry Williams in 1955. In their 90-year football history the Grizzlies have scored 11,407 points while allowing 13,123. Dick Imer scored the 5,000th point in a win over Colorado State in 1953 while Dean Rominger scored the 10,000th in a 1981 win over Portland State. The Grizzlies played the first Big Sky football game ever, losing 14-13 to Idaho State in Missoula on October 12, 1963. The Griz secured their first-ever league win with a 20-12 victory over Weber State on October 17, 1964.

Dick Imer

Jack Elway of Stanford and Dave Kragthorpe of Oregon State may be Pac-10 head coaches now but both spent time as Grizzly assistants in the 1960s.

•Grizzly Trivia' ashington State Cougar head coach Dennis Erickson and his scheduled starting quarterback Timm Rosenbach have a similar Grizzly connection. Both Erickson and Rosenbach’s fathers were Grizzly assistants. Pinky Erickson coached the defensive line in 1967 and Lynn Rosenbach coached the Griz from 1980-82. In 1955 the Jerry Williams-coached Grizzlies defeated the Wally Lemm-coached Bobcats 19-0. Williams and Lemm would meet again as opposing head coaches in 1970 when Williams was head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and Lemm was head man of the Houston Oilers, Williams again prevailed—this time 23-14. In their football history the Grizzlies have won 293 games. The 100th win in a 25-0 victory over the Bobcats in Butte in 1934. Win number 200 came in a 20-0 decision over Idaho State in 1967. The Grizzlies football team has never faced a Heisman Trophy winner, but the Grizzly basketball team has. In 1962-63 basketball season the Griz cagers faced Oregon State which featured Terry Baker who the previous fall had been the Heisman winner. In a 24-game stretch from late in the 1963 season until the middle of the 1966 season the Grizzlies did not successfully kick a field goal. From 1964-1967 seasons the Grizzlies were 2-23 in the field goal kicking department. The 1947 Grizzly football teams averaged well over 24 years of age. In contrast the 1987 Grizzlies average just over 20 years old. Terry Dillon played for the 1963 College All Stars that defeated the Green Bay Packers 20-17, the last college All-Star team to beat a pro champion in the annual game in Chicago. Brent Pease is the first Grizzly quarterback to be drafted into the NFL as a quarterback (Minnesota Vikings, 11th round, 1987). Current NFL quarterbacks Tommy Kramer of the Minnesota Vikings and Neil Lomax made their collegiate football debuts against the Grizzlies. Kramer for Rice in 1973 (the Owls beat Montana 21-10) and Lomax for Portland State in 1977 (Lomax and company were defeated 40-25.) Current Portland State head coach Pokey Allen was the Grizzlies’ defensive secondary coach from 1977-79. In the Montana-Portland State game in 1977 Allen’s defensive backs picked off eight Viking passes. Allen is a former Missoula Spartan star from the early 1960’s. He also has coached against the Grizzlies as co-head coach at Simon Fraser from 1973-76. Allen was 2-2 against the Griz while at Simon Fraser. Current Philadelphia Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan was the defensive coach for the University of Pacific Tigers in 1967 when they came to Missoula. The Grizzlies used two punt returns for touchdowns and an interception return to beat Pacific that day 21-7, but couldn’t gain more than 100 yards on Ryan’s defensive unit. The last three University of Montana Presidents have all come from schools that are members of the Mid-American Conference, but the Grizzly football team has only played one team from that league, that was a 1964 encounter with Western Michigan. Tony Knap is the only coach to have faced the Grizzlies as head coach at three different schools. Knap was 10-1 against Montana as head man at Utah State, Boise State and Nevada-Las Vegas from 1963-1981. He faced five different Grizzly head coaches. The 1937 Grizzlies were in line for a Cotton Bowl bid before a late season loss to Idaho derailed their plans. Colorado got M ontana’s bid. Colorado’s star that year who wowed them at the Cotton Bowl was Bryon “Whizzer” White (now a Supreme Court Justice.) Williams was the Grizzlies head coach from 1955-57, but he was not the only member of his family to leave their mark on University of Montana sports. Jerry’s niece, Margaret, was one of the stars of the Lady Griz for the past four years. Margaret played in more Montana victories (101) than any other m en’s or wom en’s basketball player in the school’s history.

The 1937 Grizzly football team was 7-1 and will be honored at this year’s Homecoming game against Weber State. The Grizzlies’ sole loss was 6-0 at Idaho and UM’s chance at a Cotton Bowl bid was thwarted on an interception by former Big Sky Conference Commissioner Steve Belko.

Mickey Sutton was an All-Big Sky player for the Grizzlies in 1981. He currently plays for the Los Angeles Rams.

The 1947 Grizzlies were 7-4 and will celebrate their 40th reunion this season. It was the second team to win seven games (the first was 1937, celebrating its 50th anniversary). The ’47 team was the first to fly (to Arizona), played 9 road games, and did not have a Homecoming contest. It was also the first team to travel overseas (Hawaii).
