I I , L Cougar Commentary By Hal Williams Named "Best Sports Column" in 1987 - Utah Press Assn. - Croup il Newspapers For the 54th time, the BYU Cougars will play the traditional instate in-state rival USU Aggies in a game that determines the winner of the Old Wagon Wheel, a tradition that started in 1949. Game time is 7 p.m. Friday in Cougar Stadium. It's being played then to avoid a Saturday afternoon conflict with the LDS Church's General Conference. The game will be carried live on the Church Satellite system and televised on a delayed basis on KBYU-TV (Channel 11) Saturday night at 9 p.m. and Monday at 10:30 p.m. KSL radio and the USU Sports Radio Network will also carry the game live. The Cougars rested up with a bye last week and should be well-prepared for Aggie quarterback Brent Snyder and a host of good receivers. It's been a long time since BYU lost a game afer having two weeks to prepare for the next foe. And they should be ready for the Aggies. USU defeated New Mexico State 32-20 last week for the Aggies' first win of the season after losing 63-13 at Nebraska and 35-21 at Missouri. The win over NMS was in the Big West League which changed its name from the Pacific Coast Athletic Association this year. BYU has a 24-14 season opener loss at Wyoming and a 47-6 win over then 19th-ranked Texas and a 31-27 squeaker over UTEP. In the first three games, the Cougars have received mixed review: error-prone and uneven at Wyoming; defensively solid and offensively of-fensively free-wheeling against Texas; and unpredicatable but determined deter-mined against the Miners. ; "" Which team shows up for the Cougars is a question that fans are curious about for this game. Hopefully, it will be the enthusiastic en-thusiastic and sharp one as in the Texas Longhorn game. Last year the two teams played before a crowd Of 65,729-the most ever to gather for an athletic event in the history of the state. Temperatures were in the mid-70s and the score was tied 3-3 at the end of the first period, Snyder passed for 324 yards ( 29 of 50 ) and three touchdowns while the Cougars held the Aggie ground game to just 68 net yards. Mike Salido had a great evening, gaining 67 yards on the ground for the Cougars and catching six passes. Final score: BYU 45, USU 24. FRED WHITTINGHAM, FB Coach La Veil Edwards observes that the Aggies are a much better team now. The former Aggie said, "That's the best looking USU team I've seen in the last three years. They play hard and are impressive." Last year the Aggies were 0-3 before the BYU game, but bounced back in the last half of the season to win five of their last six games. BYU first played the Aggies in 1922, with USU now holding a 32-28-3 edge in the series. The Cougars have now won five consecutive games against the Aggies with the last loss in 1982 ( 20-17) at Logan when the refs failed to give QB Steve Young the yardage he made, thus preventing the Cougars from scoring the winning TD. Edwards was an all-conference lineman and team captain at USU before graduating in 1952. Others on the BYU coaching staff who graduated gradu-ated from USU are Tom Ramage, defensive line coach and specialty teams C57); and Chris Pella, recruiting coordinator and kicking : coach ('66). There are two former BYU players on the Aggie staff: Brian Billick (77), offensive coordinator; and John Ramage ('83), coach of receivers. In the Cougars' last game, he inserted in-serted freshman Ty Detmer as QB replacing junior Sean Covey. "The main reason we changed was that we just weren't getting anywhere, and that wasn't Sean's fault. As I have said before, I have a lot of confidence in Ty and Sean. So I don't see any change in our quarterback alignment." BOB DAVIS, LB Covey is expected to start against the Aggies. Edwards has high praise for punter Pat Thompson whose kicking against UTEP won him Denfensive Player of the Week in the WAC. He currently leads the nation in punting (48.69 yards per kick) and had two kicks go inside the five-yard line against the Miners. One kick went 71 yards. "I thought Pat's punting was the big differnece in the second half. If there's a better punter in the nation, I don't know who it would be-not only on-ly in distance, but in placing his kicks as well," said Edwards. - Sophomore Matt Bellini had one of his best games against UTEP, catching cat-ching 12 passes for 175 yards and rushing for 25 yards on seven carries. In the 27-21 victory over the Air Force frosh on Friday, the BYU Jayvees had a great day from Orem's Tyler Anderson. He caught a diving bomb inside the 10 but the JVs failed to score when the ball was intercepted two plays later. Anderson, one of the fastest players on the whole team, later caught a 40-yard pass from QB Chris Hoge in the endzone with two defenders covering him. ; The Air Force QB was stopped on the three-yard line in what would have tied the game-but a great defensive defen-sive effort stopped him. lip i I .iiilll 11?! t... ..'-.z- '', Jennifer Schlappi goes up to block a Hillcrest hit in region volleyball action last week.
