Arizona
Arizona may have problems matching its
record of 6-5 last year, mainly because they face
five teams that went to bowl games in 1981 and a
team that was 9-2 but banned from bowl games —
Arizona State
"Our second through fifth games are as
rough as anybody's in the country," says head
coach Larry Smith, referring to consecutive
games against Washington, Iowa, UCLA and
Notre Dame
But, the Wildcats have knocked off some
collegiate giants in the last two years, notably
USC last fall when the Trojans were ranked in the
top spot on the wire service polls and UCLA when
the Bruins were ranked second
Arizona, which has been tabbed to finish
sixth or seventh in the Pac-10 by pre-season
publications, returns six starters on both offense
and defense Linebacker Ricky Hunley (6-2, 228),
picked to the Pac-10's first team last year as a
sophomore, returns to lead a Wildcat defense that
was fourth-best in the conference in '81
Arizona may have problems matching that
this year, they lose three of four linebackers But
three of the four defensive backs that gave the
Wildcats the fourth best pass defense in the
conference return, including senior free safety Al
Gross (6-3, 188), who had 90 tackles
Junior Ivan Lesnik (6-1, 245), who will shift to
nose guard from tackle, will lead a defensive line
that counts only two seniors among its top nine
linemen Lesnik is an AII-Pac-10 pick in Athlon's
Pac-10 Preview publication
On offense, Arizona returns starters at all of
the skill positions except flanker. Junior
quarterback Tom Tunnicliffe (6-0, 187) passed for
1,420 yards last year, while running backs Vance
Johnson (5-11, 170, sophomore) and Brian Hol
land (5-10. 193, junior) combined for 1,231 yards
last year Johnson, who also returns punts and
kickoffs, was ranked 16th nationally in all-purpose
yardage, averaging 141 5 yards per game
Tunnicliffe's aerial targets will include tight
end Mark Keel (6-3, 216), who caught 27 passes in
81, and senior split end Kevin Ward (6-1, 187),
who hauled in 25 passes for 401 yards
The Wildcats return only two of their starting
offensive linemen, but one is senior tackle Jeff
Kiewel (6-4, 257), second team AII-Pac-10 in '81
But, it's hard to tell how much impact Hunley.
Lesnik, Johnson, Kiewel, et al will have, con
sidering the schedule
"I don't think there is any question it's the
toughest schedule ever at the University of
Arizona,'' says Smith

California
Is it the California Golden Bears or the
California Kapps? You would think the latter, the
way Cal is carrying on about its new coach, Joe
Kapp
"Joe Kapp is California football," says Dave
Maggard, Cal athletic director
Which is wonderful, except that Kapp has
never coached a football game at any level
Never fear, for Kapp's philosophy is "Play to
win "
Considering that Cal returns 21 of 22 starters,
including all 11 on defense, Kapp should logically
have a chance to exercise his philosophy this
year
Unfortunately, those 11 defensive starters
were ranked ahead of only Oregon State in team
defense last year The Bears gave up an average
of 393 8 yards and 26.1 points per game on the
way to a 2-9 season.
The Bears do have some quality defensively
Junior Ron Rivera (6-3, 225) was second team
AII-Pac-10 at linebacker last season He led the
team with 99 tackles, 13 for losses. He will be
joined at linebacker by Rich Dixon, first team
AII-Pac-10 in '80 and a third team All-American
the same year Dixon redshirted last fall with a
knee injury
The only other defender of note is four-year
starter Freddie Williams (5-9, 192), who had 59
tackles and nine pass deflections at cornerback
last year.
On offense, the Bears have permanently
dumped the "Run and Shoot." former head
coach Roger Theder's noble experiment that
resulted in 43 3 percent passing completion a
year ago Kapp has installed a T-formation, and
will depend on sophomore Gale Gilbert (6-3, 205),
with only 10 pass attempts last year, to run the
show
The Bears may not need much in the way of
quarterbacking if transfer running back Elton
