Defense: Curry has five blocked kicks ■ Continued from Page 11 son, the third most in Air Force history. Grizzi’s 342 career tackles ranks sixth all-time at Air Force and is one of the highest totals ever by an inside linebacker. Grizzi led the Falcons with 18 tackles, including 10 solos and three for a loss, in the defense's crown jewel this season, a 24-0 shutout of WAC finalist Col orado State on Sep. 20 — the first-ever WAC road shutout for Air Force. legeSportsNews.com for his performance against the Rams, recognition that could have come his way after any game this season. Grizzi recorded double figures in tackles in every game, including a career-high 20 in a 20-17 loss against Fresno State on Oct. 18. As Grizzi had seemingly stepped up his level of play for the season’s biggest games, so too had the en tire Falcons’ defense. In the season’s final game, with their ranking and bowl aspirations on the line, Air Force held Wyoming’s potent offense to just three points, well below its season average. The victory gave the Fal cons their 10th win this season — their highest win total since 1985. “We have great team chemistry and great charac ter,” Peterson said. “It’s hard to explain. We’re not as talented as some teams in the past, but we’ve played better and won more football games. “It starts with attitude. We expect to make things happen. It’s a big part of our success. ” This attitude has carried over to the special teams.

He has six career blocks (5 punts, 1 field goal), which is just two shy of the career record. Curry, a second team All-WAC defensive back, was the first Falcon to score three touchdowns on defense and special teams since All-American Scott Thomas in 1985. “This is one of the best teams they’ve had in recent years,” Brigham Young quarterbacks coach Robby Bosco said. “What's most impressive about the team is that they never give up. A lot of times you can’t look at the size of the team because of the way they fight. ” A fight Oregon coaches should expect Air Force to bring to the Las Vegas Bowl Dec. 20.

Women: Benson says being underdog is always easier ■ Continued from Page 11 in the preseason NIT, and defeat ed then- No. 6 Texas Tech last Saturday. They are a traditional power not just on the East Coast, but na tionwide. To be successful, Oregon head coach Jody Runge said, the Ducks must concentrate on their own game. "Our main thing is we've got to take care of what we do and not so much worry about what they’re going to do to us,” Runge said. “If we can just shoot 70 per cent from the free-throw line and box out and not turn the ball over, I think we’re good enough to win.” The Lady Toppers are an adaptive team that can play a va riety of defenses against the Ducks, including the matchup zone the Portland Pilots de ployed so effectively against Oregon in beating them earlier this season, Runge said. Two of the Lady Toppers come into tonight's game averag ing more than 15 points; no oth er players average double figures in points. Senior Leslie Johnson, a 6 foot-1 senior, leads Western Kentucky with 17.3 points per game and 8.4 rebounds. Forward Danielle McCulley, a 6-foot-5 senior, is second on the team in scoring and rebounding with 16.6 points and eight re bounds per game. Western Kentucky won its last game against Indiana on Wednesday, but it was not easy. The Hoosiers led by three at the half before the Lady Toppers ! came back to win 79-70. Oregon is also coming off a j win, this one to Portland State, but the Ducks surprisingly came out flat that night. They trailed the Vikings, who j are in only their second season ! as a Division I program, 33-24 at i the half before using a strong sec- ! ond halfto win the game and the Pepsi Shootout title. So if the Ducks falter against a smaller program like Portland j State, could it happen again j tonight? “As young as we are, we’re al ways in danger," Benson said. “We play to the level of our com petition sometimes. Sometimes j we don’t get as pumped up for i games— and this is wrong of us I — but we just don’t get as pumped up for games we think we are supposed to win. “It is always easier to be the underdog. Always. It is always easier to fight and go after some- j body then to fight somebody off. ! If we lose to Western Kentucky, j no one is going to think that is j surprising — except for us. But I ifwe beat them, then we’re going to shock that part of the U.S." Emerald CLASSIFIEDS Call 346-4343 or stop by Suite 300 EMU to place your ad today £SS88SSSIi88£&SSSg^m B - SMMMMi * ADVERTISING POLICY PAYMENT: Prepayment is required unless billing has been established.
