These days, when so many coaches consider the media the enemy and many players refuse to talk to reporters, it is refreshing to find a setting where coaches, players and the media peacefully co-exist. It's known as the New England Football Writers Luncheon and it is a long-standing tradition.

TDI TDI TDI TDI TDI

Northeastern University assistant athletic director and longtime sports information direc tor Jack Grinold, who emcees the weekly gatherings, which now take place at Harvard University, one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions, says that it is a chance for coaches and players to talk about their teams in a time when some think that football is on a downslide.

Editor-in-Chiet Jon Cooper Managing Editor Tom Caraccioli Designer Janet Evans Production Director Claudette Keane Production Coordinator Mary Shannon

"When I started with the football writers in 1962 there were approximately 25 colleges in New England playing football," said Grinold, the dean of New England sports information and witness to more than 350 consecutive Northeastern football games "Now we have 50 schools involved and we get a lot of schools to turn out each week. We sometimes have 15 coaches speak at our luncheons and that says a lot about the interest in football."

THE COACHES According to Grinold, the New England Football Writers have been holding its luncheons for more than seven decades. Starting back in the 1920s, former Boston College AllAmerican and head coach Joe McKenney headed up a group of men that wanted to gath er on a weekly basis. McKenney, who went on to become one of college football's best offi cials, joined forces with former Tufts University captain Arthur Sampson of the Boston Herald Traveler to form the foundation of the football writers. For many years the Hotel Kenmore served as the backdrop to the weekly meetings, as well as the association's annual dinners. The weekly diet of speakers included some of the

games giants, including Frank Leahy, who led Boston College to a 21-2 record and a Orange Bowl championship before taking his talents to Notre Dame. Herman Hickman, the brilliant coach at Yale and New Hampshire, was among the coun try s wittiest banquet speakers. Hickman, who grew up in the South, brought a genuine wit to the luncheons and even got a chuckle or two out of those north of the Mason-Dixon Line. As the years went by some of the game's great characters also preached from the podi um, telling their brethren of great gridiron tales, including College Hall of Fame coach Bob Blackman. Blackman brought Dartmouth to national prominence during his days in Hanover, New Hampshire, and also shined in coaching stints at Cornell, Illinois and Denver.

THE PLAYERS New England has produced some of the game's finest players, including a few who won college football s most prized individual award. Who could forget the brilliant Larry Kelley and Clint Frank, two of Yale's greatest gridiron talents? And it wasn't that long ago that a little-known field general by the name of Doug Flutie ran roughshod over opponents while quarterbacking Boston College to three straight Bowl berths Yale also produced one of the great defensive backs in New England in Dick Jauron, who IS in his first year as head coach of the Chicago Bears. Northeastern turned out two of the region s best players in Sean Jones, a standout defensive end who captured a Super Bowl nng in 1997 with the Green Bay Packers, and Dan Ross, an All-America receiver from Everett, Massachusetts. Ross played in the 1982 Super Bowl with the Cincinnati Bengals and for many years held the Super Bowl record for most receptions in one game (11) before

was broken by future Hall of Earner Jerry Rice. Pat Mclnally, the standout receiver and punter at Harvard, also was a frequent visitor to

writers postseason all-star banquets in the early '70s, as were Boston College stalwarts Art Donovan, Fred Smerlas and Bill Romanowski. Donovan and Smerlas each went on to fur ther prominence in the National Football League, while Romanowski has four Super Bowl rings to his credit.

THE WRITERS With pen in hand and an ear to listen, the scribes that covered college football each autumn had plenty to write about. Whether it was a coach accusing another coach of spy ing on his alma mater or a coach calling it quits at the season's break-up luncheon, stories were never lacking. Brilliant wordsmiths such as Bill Cunningham, Jerry Nason, Ernie Roberts, George Carens along with Dave O'Hara all covered the luncheon at one time or another. In more recent years former Boston Globe columnists Jackie MacMullan and Leigh Montville covered the football beat as do present-day scribes like the Globe’s Bob Monahan, who's been fol lowing college football for more than 40 years, and the Boston Herald's Jocko Connolly. t seems only appropriate that the football writers gather each week at Harvard, which hosts The Game every other autumn against Yale at Harvard Stadium. For the stadium, which sits within view of every attendee, has a history like the New England Football Writers. It is one replete with facts and figures that etch themselves in times past while link ing Itself with a future that no doubt will add to the lore of New England football.

FOR TENNESSEE QUARTERBACK TEE MARTIN, THE FUN BEGINS WHEN THE PRESSURE'S ON.

BY TONY BARNHART

hose who watch Tee Martin play football often marvel at his ability to handle pressure. For what college foot ball player can you name who was under more pressure than Martin as the 1998 season began? All Martin was being asked to do last fall was replace Peyton Manning, who was more than just the greatest quarterback in Tennessee history. By the time he became the NFL's No. 1 draft choice in April 1998, Manning had become a Southern icon, whose standards for per formance on and off the field seemed beyond the reach of mere mortal men. Did Martin, the p)oor black kid from Mobile, Ala., resent the constant comparisons to the fair-haired boy from the rich white suburbs of New Orleans? Did he chafe under the enormous burden of expectations left by his beloved predecessor? Just the opposite. As soon as the mantle of leadership was passed to Tee Martin, he embraced Man ning's legacy of excellence in all things. The challenge, said Martin, was not to surpass Manning's legacy but to continue it. "1 couldn't equal what Peyton did here. No one could," said Martin. "But I could work every single day to get better, like he did. I could moke sure others around me were working hard, like he did." With that basic philosophy, Martin proceeded to take the Tennessee team to places even Manning never visited during his storied career, leading the Volunteers to a 13-0 season, which included a win over Florida and a Fiesta Bowl victory over Florida State for the national championship. "A lot of people on the outside wondered how we would do without Peyton, because he was such a great player," said running back Jamal Lewis. "But if you know Tee, you had to know that we were going to be all

right." CONTINUED

Bf! MMM

Included in that run was his NCAArecord-setting performance against South Carolina, when he completed 23 of 24 passes for 352 yards. "It was like anything else," said Mar tin. "You get more comfortable, you get more confident. You get more confident, you just play better." And during the course of the season, Martin showed an uncanny knack for making the big ploy just when Tennessee needed it: • When the Vols trailed late in the opener against Syracuse, Martin broke off a 55-yard run to help set up a score. Ten nessee won 34-33 on a Jeff Hall field goal as time expired.

In Tennessee's first four gomes lost sea son against Syracuse. Florida, Houston, and Auburn, Martin completed only 35 of 79 passes (44 percent). Take away his 14of-19 effort against undermanned Hous ton, and Martin was only 21 of 60. Fact is. Tennessee didn't need for Martin to be great because it had Lewis, one of the nation's best backs. But on the Monday before a key showdown with Georgia in Athens, Lewis was pronounced out for the season with a knee injury suf fered against Auburn. If Tennessee was going to keep winning, Martin would have to raise his level of play. _____

that clinched Tennessee's first nationol championship since 1951. So after all those heroics, what does a quarterback do for an encore? Martin is 13-0 as a starter. How do you improve on perfection? Simple, said Martin. Like Mannings legacy, you can't improve on perfection, but you can continue it. "We all enjoyed last year a lot and well remember it the rest of our lives, but we've got a chance to be very good again, said Martin. "But we've got to be willing to work as hard as we did last year. Prob ably harder." Fact is, Tennessee could very well have a more talented team in 1999. Lewis returns

At halftime of the nationally tele vised game with Georgia, the Vols led 93 and Martin had thrown two interceptions. In the locker room, Martin was confront ed by an angry Cutcliffe, who thought his quarterback had not stepped up and faced the challenge. "He was right," said Martin. "The team was waiting on me to lead and I was n't getting it done. It was up to me to play better." The light came on for Martin that afternoon in Sanford Stadium and stayed on for the rest of the season. Martin threw two touchdown passes in the second half and led the Vols to a big 22-3 win. Over the course of the last seven regular-season games, Martin completed 102 of 162 pass es (63 percent) for 1,499 yards and 10 touchdowns. He threw only two inter ceptions in his last 179 pass attempts.

• His 14-yard run after escaping pres sure set up Hall's winning 41-yard field goal in the memorable 20-17 overtime victory over Florida. It was Tennessee's first win over the Gators since 1992. • With his team trailing 14-10 in the fourth quarter of the SEC championship game against Mississippi State, Martin told Peerless Price to go long down the sideline. "Just keeping running," he told Price. "It will be there." Price hauled in the 41-yard touchdown strike seconds later. Then Martin added another touchdown pass to Cedric Wilson for the 24-14 victory. • With Tennessee clinging to a 14-9 lead in the fourth quarter of the Fiesta Bowl, Martin unleashed a bomb to Price, who had but a step on cornerback Mario Edwards. The ball could not have been thrown more perfectly and Price turned it into a 79-yard touchdown. It was the ploy

That trophy is a team honor," Griffin once said. "They (his teammates) all earned it. It just has my name on it." Thanks to the diverse talents of Buck eye teammates such as quarterback and team MVP Cornelius Greene, fullback Pete Johnson, All-America offensive guard Ted Smith, and stellar tackles Scott Dannellyey and Chris Ward, Griffin raced toward a second Heisman, while the Buckeyes raced to the top of the polls. From his first game as a freshman Ohio State fans knew there was something special about this halfback from Colum bus with the powerful internal drive. On Sept. 30, 1972, the first year the NCAA allowed freshmen eligibility for varsity football, Griffin entered the game against North Carolina midway through the first quarter. When the final gun sound ed, the Buckeye halfback, who had attend ed his first college class just three days ear lier, held the new Ohio State single-game rushing record with 239 yards! An extra ordinary career had been launched. The next season, Griffin served notice to the Heisman voters by rushing for 1,428 regular-season yards and becoming the first sophomore in half a century to be honored as the Big Ten's Most Valuable Player. He was instrumental in the Buck eyes' 10-0-1 record and No. 2 final ranking, and finished fifth in Heisman balloting. Rushing for a school and Big Tenrecord 1,620 yards in his junior season with an astounding 6.8 yards-per-carry aver age, Griffin won over the Heisman voters. They awarded him 1,920 points to runnerup use tailback Anthony Davis's 819. By becoming only the fifth junior ever

HIS SECOND HEISMAN THE HARD WAY. to win the Heisman, Griffin felt the pres sure to become the first to repeat. Army's Doc Blanchard (1945), SMU's Dock Walker (1948), Ohio State's Vic Janowicz (1950), and Navy's Roger Staubach (1963) all won the award their junior years, but failed to repeat when injuries slowed each of them to varying degrees their senior seasons. The challenge to stay healthy would be Griffin's greatest, as opposing teams keyed on him in 1975. Although the tar geted halfback wore lineman's thigh pads to protect his legs, he usually was so battered following games that he couldn t practice until Wednesdays. Two West Coast running backs, Cali fornia s Chuck Muncie and USC's Ricky Bell, would provide competition for Griffin in his quest for a second Heisman. But Griffin's priorities resided first and foremost with the team. Prior to the start of the '75 sea son, he commented he would gladly give up all of his individual awards, including the Heisman, to be on a national champion. Griffin helped propel Ohio State to an 11-0 record and No. 1 national ranking

pleting three of three pass attempts fo ""iT yards and two touchdowns! ^ Bell, meanwhile, continued the tr Htion of excellent USC tailbacks.

Griffin captured 1,800 points, easily beating Muncie (730), Bell (708), and Pitts burgh's Tony Dorsett (616). He became the first college player to rush for more than 5,000 yards in a career (5,177, fifth all-time), accumulate more than 6,000 all-purpose yards (6,003), and record 100-yard rushing in 31 consecutive regular-season games.

THE HEARTBREAK KID

continued

Orange when, as a sophomore in 1959, he led Syracuse to the national champi onship and a perfect 10-0 record, includ ing a 23-14 victory over Texas in the Cotton Bowl. He was not among the top 10 Heisman vote getters that season, when Billy Cannon of Louisiana State won the award. In 1960, he had his great est season, averaging 7.8 yards a carry and surpassing his previous season's rushing totals (877 to 686), yet still he didn't crack the top 10 vote-getters, either. Another Eastern running back. Navy's Joe Bellino, won the award. Davis' choice in 1961 was close, though he was the preseason favorite. He edged Ohio State fullback Bob Ferguson after he rang up 823 yards on 153 carries, for a 5.5 average. "Winning the Heisman Trophy is something you just dream about," he said. "You never think it could happen to you." That it happened to him, and not to his boyhood idol, Jim Brown, was one of the great ironies in Ernie's life. Five years before Davis won his award. Brown, the first of a great line of Syracuse backs through the '50s and '60s (Davis was the second), finished fifth in the Heisman balloting behind winner Paul Hornung, a quarterback on a very poor Notre Dame team. Many still consider Brown the greatest running back of all time, thanks mainly to his fame with the Cleveland Browns. As a high school player at Elmira Free Academy, Davis had idolized Brown. The latter, then a star with the Cleve land Browns, helped to recruit him, and that's all it took for Davis to choose Syra cuse to try and follow in his footsteps. But Davis did even better—he broke all of Brown's rushing records at the school and then was the No. 1 pick of the 1962 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins, the first black player ever selected by that team. A month later, his dream of joining Brown as a teammate was realized when Cleve land traded for his rights. Cleveland coach Paul Brown had planned to use

them in the same backfield, with Davis eventually replacing Brown as the team's star running back. But in one of football's great tragedies, the potential greatness of that pairing was never realized. Ernie was diagnosed with leukemia during the summer of 1962 and he never played in another game. He died on May 18,1963.

"If you made just one mistake against him, it was good-bye. He was the kind of runner you hated to coach against. You can't instruct a boy to tackie a man if he can't catch him." JOE PATERNO

While Brown is best remembered for his exploits in pro football, Davis earned all of his football reputation at Syracuse. He rushed for 2,386 yards during his three varsity seasons (freshmen were not permitted to play varsity football at that time) and gained a solid 3,414 all purpose yards. He also amassed 220 points, and scored 35 touchdowns. Ben Schwartzwalder coached both players (as well as future Syracuse run ning stars Floyd Little and Larry Csonka, who, like Brown and Davis, wore jersey No. 44) and he was solidly entrenched in the belief that running the football was the only way to go. Because he had flashed into prominence so early, Davis spent his final two seasons as a marked man by Syracuse opponents. "He earned everything he achieved," Schwartzwalder once said. "He was our big guy and we gave him the ball most of the time. Much of what he did came from his great talent because no one attracted a crowd quick

er than Ernie did when he got the ball." Penn State coach Joe Patemo coached against him for three seasons and said, "If you made just one mistake against him, it was good-bye. He was the kind of run ner you hated to coach against. You can't instruct a boy to tackle a man if he can't catch him." Davis was faster than Brown as a collegian and just as strong. He also had more agility in the open field and, while Brown would run over people if he found he couldn't elude them, Davis could do both equally well. During the Cotton Bowl game against Texas as a sophomore, he flashed into the secondary as a pass receiver, split two defenders and faked a safety to break into the clear and catch an 87-yard touch down pass as easily as if it had been in a practice session. Schwartzwalder strong ly favored the running game over the passing game, even with a player of Davis' talents, so his receiving skills were always underutilized. In his Heisman season, he was his team's top receiver with just 16 catches. Davis was equally impressive off the field, and while as talented as Brown, he was totally different in personality. Ernie was a quiet, unassuming young man who didn't have Brown's dark, moody, I-dare-you-to-knock-this-chip-off-myshoulder approach to life. "He was so good, he had no imperfections," Schwartzwalder once said. "He was like a man with a halo." When it was discovered that Davis had leukemia and that he had only a relatively short time to live, he sought no sympathy and brushed aside any consolations of the bad hand fate had dealt him. "Some people say I'm unlucky, but I don't believe it," he scdd. "When I look back on all that I've achieved, I can't really call myself unlucky." ■ JACK CLARY is an author of some 60 books on sports and a regular contributor to Touchdown Illustrated.

TRICKS OF THE TRADE

PURDUE HEAD COACH JOE TILLER'S DOUBLE-SLOT BACK PUNT FORMATION CREATED THE PERFECT DUCK BLIND. BY DAN HERBST he first thing you should know about Joe Tiller is that he's been given the wrong assign ment at Purdue. Anybody who insists on referring to trick plays as "deceptives" clearly belongs not in the athletic office but in the polit ical science department. The sec ond relevant fact is that he and his coconspirators pulled off a doozie of a deceptive during his days as a Washington State assis tant coach, roughly a quarter of a century ago. "It was a calculated risk against a superior opponent that worked," recalls Tiller. "Our head coach was Jim Sweeney, who has always been something of a riverboat gambler. To his credit, he would attempt a deceptive from any part of the field at any time. He had an influence on me because that's a fun part of the game. The players and fans like it. You just hope it's successful because when one works it's something that everyone leaves the sta dium talking about. "This was a close game. We were a .500 team that was good but not great. Oregon was an upper divi sion Pac-10 team, so we knew to win we'd have to take some chances. We lined up in our standard punt formation with two slot backs, each about one yard off the line of scrimmage and about a yard-and-a-half to either side of our center. [The punter's] protector was about five yards deep. We had our guards up on the line with two yards between them, our tackles, and our ends. "We snapped the ball directly to the personal protector. He caught the ball and took a couple of steps ahead. Meanwhile, our slot backs continued to face forward. Bernard Jackson, who was one of the slot backs, put his hand between his legs. The protector took a couple of steps forward and then placed the ball between Bernard's legs under his rump and into his hands. As he did that he spun around as if it was an end run. We had half

Joe Tiller doesn't get excited about "deceptives," with the possible exception of the double-slot back punt formation.

of the Oregon team rushing the punter and our punter did some great acting by going through his kicking motion even though he never touched the ball. "One of their defenders broke across the line of scrim mage and he actually put his left hand on Bernard's hel met after he'd been given the ball. Luckily for us, their guy didn't see that the ball was right in front of him, so he started running in a circle to chase our protector. After those guys cleared the line our slot back took off." So fooled was the opposition that Tiller himself probably could have run the ball for 50 yards. Instead, the lugger of the leather was none other than Jackson, a future Cincinnati Bengal defen sive back who, understates Tiller, "was real fast. By the time they realized what was going on Bernard was long gone. It was perfectly executed. That was the most effective deceptive that I have ever seen."

Otterbein, off to its best start since 1981, takes on cross-town rival Capital in tonight's Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) matchup. The Cardinals, 3-1 overall, sit in a five-way tie for second place with a 2-1 OAC record. The Crusaders are seeking their first win. Under head coach Wally Hood, who is in his fifth season with the Cardinals, Otterbein continues to turn heads, coming into the game off an impressive 48-22 win at Muskingum last Saturday. And the pundits are beginning to take notice. The Cards entered the week ranked 18th in the nation by Don Hansen's National Weekly Football Gazette. Capital, under head coach Jim Collins, who is in his third season with the Crusaders, dropped a 33-9 decision to Heidelberg at home last Saturday. The team opened '99 with a 19-0 loss at non-conference Thiel, followed by conference losses to John Carroll, 51-12, and Muskingum, 42-21. Otterbein has won the last four meetings with Capital, including a 31-15 verdict in Columbus last season. Matt D'Orazio connected on 22 of 32 pass attempts for 279 vards and two touchdowns. Jeff Gibbs, Joe Simmons ana Ben Streby caught five passes each in the win. The Crusaders hold a 36-34-3 edge in the series which began in 1894 with an Otterbein 60-0 victory. Following Capital, Otterbein hits the road for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff next Saturday at three-time defending national champion Mount Union. The Purple Raiders, with a win at Heidelberg this evening, will seek to set the NCAA record for consecutive wins in the Otterbein game. Mount Union won its 46th straight with a thrilling triple overtime win, 57-51, at John Carroll last Saturday. Oklahoma holds the record, winning 47 straight from 1953 to 1957.

Cardinal Notes Streby Sets Mark: Streby made three touchdown recep tions at Muskingum, boosting his season total to 11, an Otterbein single-season record. The former record of nine was set by Ron Jones in 1960. With 17 career touch down receptions, Streby needs three to tie the school career record of 20 which was also set by Jones (195860).

D'Orazio Rewrites History: D'Orazio tallied five touch down passes at Muskingum, bringing his career total to 54, an Otterbein record. He broke the career record with three touchdown passes at John Carroll Sept. 25. Luke Hanks (1990-93) set the former mark of 47. D'Orazio sits sixth on the OAC career list. Back-to-Back lOO's: Running back Shane Rannebarger, for the second straight week, rushed for over 100 yards. He tallied 121 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries at Muskingum. A week earlier, Rannebarger rushed for 107 yards on 16 carries at John Carroll. Seconds: Otterbein sits second in total defense (giving up

290.2 yards a game) and total offense (gaining 460.2 yards a game) in the OAC. The squad is second with a plus-six turnover margin. P-11

,®®^^WHen sophomore QB Antonio Hawkins connected with Damon Thompson on a 43-yard scoring pass, Virginia State led, 33-26, with 5:11 remaining in the third quarter. Hawkins, from Rich mond, passed for 306 yards and 3 TDs on the night. "We probably took it for granted [when the first half went so well]," Cook says. "Then we learned the hard way." Wyatt pulled Troutman from the game, and adopted more of a passing offense with Randall Foster at the helm. Foster led an 80-yard drive in the fourth quarter, culminating in Johnny Hart's one-yard run to tie the game with 3:27 to play. As luck would have it, Anderson and Wyatt had different philoso phies about overtime. Anderson felt it was better to have the ball first, Wyatt preferred starting on defense, finding out what his offense needed before it took the field. So Virginia State started each over time period on offense. Each team scored in the first session, Foster tying the game with a 13-yard run. An interception stopped State in the second OT, but Danny Mathis missed a field goal, and the gome kept going. The rules change a little after two overtimes. Teams cannot kick extra points, but must go for two instead. And so it was that Virginia State moved out to a 48-40 lead. Deveron Kearney scored the TD, and Hawkins hit Desmond Thornton for the conversion. Foster struck immediately, hitting Larry Jones on the first play for a touchdown and Antonio Stanley for the tying twopointer. Both plays featured difficult receptions. "We made catches that were uncatchable in the overtimes " Wyatt says.

In the sixth period, Hawkins and Foster each threw touchdown passes, but neither team could convert the conversion, setting ih® stage for Cook's dive. Isaac Johnson attempted a 35-yard field goal that would have given State the lead. Cook, a 6-foot-6 defensive lineman, blocked the kick and got a perfect bounce.

ww\,n.-A-LiuoUL<E-LOU Early in his tenure as newly minteci South Carolina coach, Lou Holtz wets asked about the Gamecocks prospects for a bowl bid. "That," Holtz said, "is like talking to a homeless person about a 40l(k) plan." Holtz wasn't making a crass, poli* ically incorrect crack. Rather, he was summing up the state of the football program. "What I was saying was, Tell me what applies to me,'" Holtz says. That's how difficult a job Holtz faces after leaving ^ cushy broadcasting gig with CBS for Columbia, S.C.

Carolina, a doormat in the powerful SEC, was l-lO season, its worst in 106 years of football. And that is years without much gridiron legacy—the Gamecocks have gone to one major bowl (the Gator Bowl during Worl War n, a loss) and won more than eight games only anc Though the school has a rabid fan base and it^ annual meeting with mega-rival Clemson practically shuts down the state for a day, many of South Carolinus best prep players are bolting for greener football fields when it comes time to commit to college.

became a possibility. I've always enjoyed coaching and considered myself a teacher, so I did it." He installed his ideas immediately. And his eagerness to improve the pro gram. He put up a bumper sticker on a closet door in his office that read, "How do you spell relief? H-O-L-T-Z." His winter conditioning program, known at Notre Dame as the "Pukefest," was in place to get players ready for spring practice. He and his handpicked staff began massaging players' atti tudes, tweaking work habits and defin ing roles. "And I'm talking about if the coach soys something, it's not just a sug gestion," Holtz says. '"The big thing is get ting them to believe." Holtz says that teams go through four stages, from becoming competitive to expecting to win, to learning to han dle success and, finally, expecting to compete for a national championship. "We're trying to be competitive," Holtz soys. "That's where you go in and soy. We get a break or two, we can beat any one, no matter what.' When you expect to win, that's where you remember to do the little things in a critical situa tion that wins games. And you expect to go to a bowl.

"Next, you learn to han dle success. You're starting to get accolades, but you've got to watch that you don't fall back while taking your victory lap. You've got to stop pettiness from coming in, where someone says, 'I didn't get the ball enough' or 'I didn't get my picture in the paper.'

out of South Carolina. "I know we were 1-10 last year, but that's a plus in one respect, because we've had to look af everything," Holtz says. H had been 5-6, we might have been tempted to just change a spark

"The last stage, that's where 11-1 and a bowl game victory isn't a great season." Holtz spent spring practice trying to put players in the right spot on the field. He worked out a starting lineup, except for the offensive line and the kicking game. "I know two players who will be in the starting lineup on the o-line," Holtz says. "But I don't know where they'll play. I still don't know who I'll see out there in the foU when I soy, "OK, let's work the first unit." On defense, Holtz saw in the spring that his team would have to improve their tackling. "Either that, or I've got to work like heU to get tackling banned from the game of football," he quips. Despite the challenges, Holtz thinks that he can make the next Kansas State

plug or two. "There are plenty of positives here. We have a great university, we're in a beau tiful, clean state with mountains, the ocean and a great cilmate. Our faciliti®^ need to be improved, but our stadium is as impressive as any in the country. "We've had too many athletes living off-campus. We're going to get them on campus and we sure hove the sched ule to attract players—eight bowl teams this season. We'll get the kids to stay home.

up football. They inked Robinson to a three-year deal at $350,000 per and even jacked up salaries for assistant coaches. There was never a commitment before," Robinson says. "They just never improved the commitment when the program went to Division I and never got a first-rate program going. It was bore t>ones, always on orphan. It's been a tradition, being second-rate.

from the sidelines, Oregon State's new head coach, Dennis Erickson, is moving over from the NFL's Seattle Seaâwks. It won't be an adjustment, since Erickcut his teeth as a college coach at Idaho, Wyoming, Washington State and Miami. The personnel and the ability ore obviously ^liferent from the NFL," Erickson says, "I've got cidjust to understanding the level of ploy ^gain.

Robinson has preached patience and planning. "I have spe cific goals, but they're not related to wins," he soys. "It's habits, self-image. Those are the things that hove to change. We're try ing to build a foundation. I won't predict a year that we'll be good, because that limits it. We need to make progress. "I've been a fund-raiser, a visionary, a salesman since I've been here. Sometimes I feel like I'm running for mayor," Robinson soys. "Vegas is a city that buys into new ideas. You soy you're going to put up a hotel and three weeks later, there is one. There's a lot of daring in this city. The opportunity is there. We're starting some thing that hasn't existed here."

Fans in Corvallis were a little disappointed to see Mike Riley (right) go, as the Beavers finished near .500 and showed signs of moving in the right direction. But Beaver fans will quickly forget him if Erickson can direct the team to a few more wins—especially in the "Civil War" against Oregon—and maybe a bowl trip to, say, Pasadena.

ior 28 years before his death in 1988, and sons Ron Jr., Bob, Mike and Mark were usually with him on the field and in the locker room growing up. The sons played for their father in high school and have gone on to be defensive coaches. "Our dad was our idol," Bob Stoops said. "We developed a love for the game at an early age, and 1 learned from him that you can be hard on players as well as hove fun with them. We also share the same philosophy about stopping the run." Bob Stoops also developed a toughness and competitiveness from his father that has served him well. Ron Stoops suffered a heart attack in the final minutes of a 1988 game that went into overtime. He sat down on the bench and stayed there until Cardinal Mooney won before going to the hospital. He died on the way. Don Bucci, who's entering his 34th year as Cardinal Mooney head coach, said he sees a lot of Ron in Bob. "Ron had a great defensive mind, and was a very sound coach and 1 think Bob picked up on that," Bucci said. Stoops also learned a lot from the head coaches he's worked for: Iowa's Hay den Fry whom he also played for; Kansas State's Bill Snyder and Spurrier. Fry said that although Stoops has been a defensive player and coach, he also knows offense. "I can remember a game we played against a tremendous Illinois team and on the first play of the game they came out in a weird formation," Fry recalls. Bobby had broken down all the Illinois film prior to the game, and he starts yelling ■watch for the reverse.' The play was a reverse and we threw their wide receiver for a 12-yard loss. That set the tempo for the defense and we upset **'*"oklahoma's offense has been virtually nonexistent the past few seasons. In 1998, the Sooners ranked last in the Big 12 Conference in passing offense and 11th in total offense, while averaging less than 17 points a game. Stoops wasted no time addressing Oklahoma's offensive needs by hir ing Kentucky offensive coordinator Mike Leach. Last season, Leach's pos session-passing offense compiled more than 500 yards of total offense seven times, including 801 yards against Louisville. Leach also devel oped quarterback Tim Coach, who threw for 4,275 yards and 34 touchdowns last season and was the first player selected in the 1999 NFL Draft

Heupel (pronounced HYPE-pull) threw for 2,308 yards and 28 touchdowns last season and is just the type of quarterback Leach wants to run his offense. "Having played against them [at Florida], I recognized that Coach Leach's style has generated a lot of offense," Stoops said. "I felt that CONTINUED

Facilities Memorial Stadium (5,000 capacity), with a 400meter all-weather track around a natural grass football field, underwent major renovation in 1989-90. New outdoor track and field facilities were installed in 1988 through a $100,000 donation from Mrs. Dorothy McVay, from Westerville. In 1989, the gridiron was named in honorof Dwight “Smokey” Ballenger, a 1939 graduate of Otterbein. A $100,000 lighting system, courtesy of Cellular One, was installed in 1996. Additional outdoor sports facilities include tennis courts, and separate fields forsoftball, baseball and soccer. A 2.5-mile cross country course, which meanders Alum Creek and traverses woods and farmland, opened in the fall of 1995. Built in 1974, the Rike Center houses men’s and women’s athletics and physical education facilities and offices. The domed roof encloses an intercollegiate hardwood basketball floor with seating for 3,100; a tenth-

mile oval track with an 87-yard straightaway and seating for 600; nets and space to segment three courts each for volleyball, basketball or tennis; equipped weight training room; two handball courts; gymnastics space; and locker rooms for varsity teams and physical education classes. Additionally, nets serve to section off a baseball infield and batting cages. Conventional classrooms and offices are located on the perimeter. A $300,000 gift from the Rike family of Dayton inaugurated the capital campaign to finance construction of the Rike Center, which was built for about $1.5 million. Gifts from the Otterbein alumni and friends have helped provide educational opportunities through athletics for sportsminded students. Formerstudent-athletes have continued their success in coaching, teaching, recreational and professional fields—evidence of quality educational experiences offered at Otterbein College.
