Continued from B-7 threw their bodies against a hitting bag to work on blocking techniques, he dropped a few hints about the possible defensive formations he would run. but was more concerned with his players' ability to hit. He shrugged, saying, "We'll run two sets, a four-four and a three-four, but that doesn't really matter. If we can't tackle, we can't stop the I-formation or the option. So I absolutely hope we are tougher than we were last year." The players seem to like and respond to their new coach. "He's a tough disciplinarian and a really good motivator," said senior Jon Evans. "He's a real no nonsense kind of coach. Either you do your job or you don't. End of question. It inspires us to work harder." On offense, the team plans to continue contin-ue to emphasize the running game, utilizing uti-lizing both the talent of tailback Jeremy Tyson and the increased size and experience expe-rience of the offensive line. The team is testing a speed option, but plans to hold on to its standard I-formation. Shepherd, never a fan of running the option, also admits to not having the tight personnel to run it effectively. Besides toughness, another lingering question concerns team leadership. In the past, certain members of the team have failed to rise to the occasion and help carry their team to victory. Quarterback Osguthorpe certainly feels the pressure to step up. "It's our turn to become leaders." motioning toward Tyson, Evans and a few others. After all, he says, "we're the returning senior starters." The question, of course, is which individuals, if any, will answer that crucial call. Regardless, the 1998-99 season looks promising, with both a larger group of experienced players and a larger group of bigger, meatier players. Shepherd recounted the age-old challenge of spring football when he said, "I expect a whole lot of this next year." We, as Miner fans, do too. w " i.' .j ." ?i,v''3v; f r.
