Show McBride Wary of U Getting Too Cocky ERIC WALDEN The Utah football team used the second of its three byes last weekend to get in some extra preparation for this game Saturday's against Wyoming a team that is 4 overall, 3 in MWC games and runs an offense similar to the South Florida team the Utes demolished 1 back 2-- 0-- 52-2- on Oct 6. Despite all those factors seemingly working in his team's favor, U coach Ron McBride was customarily hesitant in assessing Utah's chances at a 1 start to the season Tuesday at the "Coaches Huddle" at Green Street continued from page I i E I , 1 A Yv 1 "Wyoming is a dangerous team because their backs are to the wall, they have to win that's the most dangerous time to play a team," McBride said. "You're sitting there at feeling pretty good, and then pretty soon they come out and kick the hell out of you." Though the bye enabled the Utes to get players with injuries healthy again specifically, the starting left side of the line, tackle Doug Kaufusi and guard Ed Ta'amu the coach was concerned about complacency sneak- j goal is I want to be the Defensive Player of the Year," Spivey said Burgess also wants to be a factor on this year's team.

You've got to keep an edge to win." So how does he guard against the team feeling too good about itself? . "You just yell a lot," he said. In the meantime, perhaps the biggest challenge McBride has person the situation just reinforced the need to be cautious about the rules. "Your compliance and academic people are very important," he said. "At the University of Utah, they double-and check everything, and they can still make a mistake. We know what can happen.

As a result of the afternoon start, there were some 12,000 empty seats in Bank One Ballpark to witness the first postseason matchup of pitchers with at least 200 career victories (Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson) since 1978. C'mon...I realize FOX was reluctant to move the game to prime time, in that it would subsequently be forced to push back the series finale of "Love Cruise,' but there's got to be something else going on.
