Grid woes linger... wait 'til next year By Bill Kramer
Sports Editor
Central Oklahoma's football team extended its school-record string of losing seasons to six, but 17 starters and four medical hardship starters return next year, giving the Bronchos much potential. The entire backfield is back, including sophomore tailback sensation Tyrone Jones (901 yards rushing and seven TDs) and junior quarterback Mark Reiland (56-142 660 yards, 4 TDs). Junior place kicker Lee Stamper, who booted eight of 11 field goals this year, and a bone-crushing youthful defense will also contribute to what should be a successful 1992. The Broncho defense allowed just 270.5 yards in the final six games, after giving up 4-44.8 yards a game prior to that. Linebacker Jason Melkisetian (the team leader with 100 tackles) and nose guard Ira Richards (who led down linemen in tackles with 61 and had nine sacks) are back, along with Junior free safety Maurice Davenport (who paced the secondary with 75 tackles). Only two defensive starters graduate - defensive tackle Kenny Chamlee (51 tackles and seven sacks) and strong safety Jason Stubbs (69 tackles and seven broken-up passes). "We've got a lot of people coming back next year, and if we work hard in the off-season to improve ourselves, I think we've got a chance to become a pretty good football team next year," said coach Gary Howard, who finished his 15th year with an 83-65-5 career record, second best on the all-time charts behind C.W. Wantland's 104 victories. y
