Pac-10
Continued from page 7
Washington State looks solid on the
offensive line, as four of five starters — all
seniors — return
Problems could crop up on defense —
the Cougars lost seven starters, including
an entire secondary which led the Pac-10 in
pass defense in '81
“It's frightening how little experience
we ll start with," says Walden, referring to
the secondary "It's going to be green "
Preseason college football publica
tions have picked the Cougars anywhere
from fourth to seventh in the Pac-10 this fall
Don't bet on those predictions, though,
because the Cougars were picked as an
also ran prior to the '81 season

Stanford
There's no denying that Stanford can
score points. They ended last fall with con
secutive winning scores of 63-9, 42-3, and
42-21 Led by junior quarterback John El
way and senior tailback Darren Nelson, the
Cardinals averaged ^43 6 yards and 28 5
points per game, second in the conference
to national leader Arizona State
There is also no denying that Stanford
can give up points and yards, as they did
last year to the tune of 25 5 points and 350.1
yards per game
Nelson is gone to the Minnesota Vik
ings of the NFL, but Elway is back and being
billed as the "top-rated NFL quarterback
prospect in the nation ." The 6-4, 202 pound
senior threw for 2,674 yards and 20 touch
downs in '81 after throwing for 2,889 yards
and 27 touchdowns the year before, and his
career completion rate is 61 percent
Elway, second team AII-Pac-10 in 81,
will be joined in the backfield by senior
tailback Vincent White (5-8, 190), who fits
the Nelson mold to a tee. He gained 417
yards on the ground (5.7 avg.) and caught
41 passes for 431 yards (fourth-best in the
conference) Senior Rob Moore (6-1.217) is
the top returning fullback, having gained
218 yards in '81
Flanker Mike Tolliver (6-0, 175) ranked
ninth in the Pac-10 last fall after catching 33
passes for 639 yards and seven TD's in '81
The Cardinal's other pass-catching threat is
tight end Chris Dressel, a three-year starter,
who caught 19 passes for 234 yards
But the Cards lost three offensive lin
emen, including AII-Pac-10 center John
Macauley, which could prove troublesome
if more teams this year can punch through
the Stanford offensive line as well as San
Jose State did last year The Spartans
sacked Elway seven times and limited him to
six completions in 24 attempts for 103
yards
While the Cards return six starters on
offense, they return eight on defense Safe
ty Vaughn Williams (6-3, 190), AII-Pac-10 in
Athlon's pre-season preview, returns along
with the entire Cardinal secondary Unfor
tunately they allowed 219.2 yards per game
last year, worst in the conference
Linebacker Gary Wimmer (6-2, 225)
leads a rushing defense that ranked third in
the Pac-10 last fall, allowing only 131.1
yards per game Junior John Bergren (6-5,
240) anchors the defensive line at tackle
The schedule this fall is just as difficult
as '81, when the Cards went 4-7, including
six losses to teams that had a combined
record of 50-14-1
But the three late-season romps in 81
could carry some momentum into this fall
Oregon head
coach Rich Brooks
had two items on his
wish list last Christ
mas after watching
his Ducks stumble to a 2-9 season record.
A quarterback and a healthy offensive
line.
After Oregon's home opener against
Arizona State on Sept 4. it appeared that at
least one of Brooks' requests had been
answered — he had a healthy offensive line
But he still didn't have a quarterback
The Ducks have four candidates at the
position, but none of them have been im
pressive in game situations Senior Kevin
Lusk (6-2, 196) started in 1981 and in the '82
opening game against ASU (174-86-8, 864
yards, four TD's in ’81); sophomores Mike
Owens (6-1, 193) and Mike Jorgensen (6-1,
200) started four games between them in
'81 and freshman Dana Hill (5-10, 185)
started this year's San Jose State game
While the Ducks have a lot of "its" at
quarterback, they seem set at running back
Oregon has returned to the split-back veer
attack that produced consecutive winning
seasons in 1980 and '81, and the main cogs
in that attack will be senior Dwight Robert
son (6-1, 195), who gained 51 yards against
Arizona State and has 1,096 career yards
and 20 touchdowns; and junior Ladaria
Johnson who averaged 4 8 yards per carry
The offensive line, crippled by injuries in
'81, includes tackles Jeff Pew (6-7, 260),
who started four games last fall, and Scott
Shepard (6-3, 260), who was pegged to start
last year but broke his leg Right guard Paul
Sanborn (6-3, 265) started occassionally
last year, and left guard Gary Zimmerman
(6-6, 250), who began '81 on the defensive
line but finished the year starting at offen
sive tackle and center Starting center Ryan
Zinke (6-3, 235) was also moved last year,
from linebacker to center.
Although Oregon won't be quite deep
enough on defense this year to transfer
large numbers of players to the offense,
defense will probably continue to be
Oregon's strength.
Defensive end Mike Walter (6-4, 235)
made Athlon's preseason AII-Pac-10 team,
and had nine tackles for losses last fall He
will be joined by Steve Baack (6-4, 240) at
the other defensive end and by defensive
tackles Bill Lowder (6-4, 251) and Dan
Ralph (6-4, 251).
Middle linebacker Chris Cosgrove ((6-3,
225) made the Pac-10's honorable mention
list last year, and ranked second among the
Ducks with 70 tackles Senior Dwight Ford
(6-2, 206), who had 62 tackles last fall,
returns at the right linebacker spot
