Show Page 6 Lest home gams SIGNPOST Friday, November 5, 1971 Weber State's opponent for the final home game of the year could be the toughest football squad on the Wildcat's schedule this year. The Idaho Vandals have won six straight games and bring a veteran team to Weber State Stadium this Saturday for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. The Wildcats now trail Boise State (3-1) and Idaho (2-1) in the conference standings with a 2-1-1 record and a win is a must for both the Cats and Vandals. Weber cannot lose another conference game and hope to win the title outright, Boise must lose another league contest and Idaho must fall Saturday to give the Wildcats a shot at the loop crown. Idaho has its best team since the Vandal-Wildcat series began in 1963. In that first game Weber upset the highly favored Idaho team 14-7 in Ogden. The series is all tied now with Weber winning three times in Ogden and the Vandals taking all three games in Idaho. Last year Idaho beat Weber 27-17 in Pullman, Washington. Sophomore coach Don Robbins IF YOU THINK SQUIRE COATS AREN'T WARM . . t. , 7f vn. K.3 ! 1 I YOU'RE GOING TO BE LEFT OUT IN THE COLD I ! ! LAYAWAY MOW FOR CHRISTMAS Friday is the only Idaho head coach to have a career winning record at the Moscow school. Robbins now has a 10-9 record in his second year. The Vandals are 6-2 overall and the six straight wins is a new Idaho record for consecutive victories. The Vandals lost their first two games of the year, to Boise State and Iowa State, and since then have reeled off victories over Colorado State, Montana, Idaho State, Pacific, West Texas State and New Mexico State. The last two games have been on the road and the Vandals will play the third of four straight road games this Saturday in Ogden. The last time the two clubs met in Ogden Weber captured a 28-7 win in 1969. Bud Belnap, Weber assistant coach who scouted the Vandals at New Mexico State last Saturday was awed by the Vandals quick defense and powerful running game. This is the best Idaho team I have seen. It's the most balanced Vandal team ever. They are big and fast!" exclaimed Belnap. 4 i 4 t" -( Layton f i V Fort Lane Shopping Center Daily 10 a.m. la 7 p.m. 1 0 a.m. ro 8 pjn.' jt The Weber scout was most impressed with running backs Fred Riley and Frank Doctor and the entire defensive unit. "They were great. ..there are no other words to describe Riley and Doctor. ..they were tremendous!...! think Riley is the best back I've ever seen," continued Belnap. The Vandals two ace running backs accounted for 281 yards rushing against New Mexico State. Riley, a 5-11, 180 pound senior, ran for 154 yards on only 16 carries and fullback Doctor, a 6-0, 190 pound junior, rushed for 117 yards. It was the second straight 100-plus game for Doctor who ran for 155 yards against Pacific. Doctor and Riley probably are the best one-two running combination in the conference. Riley is super-quick and he can cut extremely fast. If the fleet halfback gets in the open it's six points on the scoreboard. Last year against Weber Riley rushed for 124 yards and played only in the second half. Idaho uses a pro-set offense and can run or pass. , If the passing game is used, quarterback Tom Ponciano or Rick Seefried throw to excellent receivers Jack Goddard, Darrell Burchfield, or Jerry Hall. Defensively the Vandals are extremely quick and strong. All-American candidate Ron Linehan is a 6-2, 212 pound linebacker whom Belnap calls "a stud." "He's all over the field and almost single handedly destroyed New Mexico State's running game," said the Weber coach. Linehan is a two time all-conference performer and his partner, 6-2, 209 pound Rand Marquess js a fine linebacker also. Most impressive in the secondary is 6-2, 225 pound sophomore cornerback Randy Hall. "He dominates a receiver," said Belnap. Hall and the Vandal defensive backs rank second behind Weber in Big Sky pass defense. In rushing defense Idaho tops the league allowing only 133.3 yards per game.

Weber took fifth and Utah State finished sixth in a field of ten schools in the Fifth annual Idaho State Invitational last Saturday in Pocatello. The weather was a major factor as a 35 mile per hour wind dropped the temperature to a bone-chilling 28 degrees. Pacing the Wildcats at Pocatello were Danny Dean, Larry Thorderson, and Al Yardley. Dean took 17th place in a field of 74 runners, while Thorderson and Yardley took second and third places on the Weber team. FRIDAY IS OPEN BOWLING! 25C GAME In The use union |
