Show M..n!dv. November After 'Bows Down Pokes winning a ninth straight Western Athletic Conference crown weren't pre dictable enough, the team facing the Cougars in the game that gave them the title had to be lowly, unexciting Texas-E- l Paso. "I thought we played well." BYU coach La Veil Edwards said in understatement Saturday following the Cougars' 42-- trouncing of visiting UTEP. "But there wasn't a lot of excitement until we got the game going in the third quarter." If anyone still dreamed at that point that there could be any doubt in Edwards' mind over the outcome, the coach made his assessment of the contest clear by pulling quarterback Robbie Bosco with BYU up 42-"We were just trying to run the clock out, and it served no purpose to throw the ball any more," Edwards said. 'I'm not going to leave a player in just to get some statistics and risk an injury." Bosco, the NCAA's passing and total offense leader, had thrown for 237 yards and four TDs to lead BYU to its 20th straight win, a record unmatched in the nation. "I didn't play all that well today," said Bosco. who was upset with himself for throwing an interception in the second quarter. "But we won and that was the important thing." The win lifted the Cougars to 0 on the season and 0 in the WAC and clinched their appearance in the Holiday Bowl. Until Saturday, Wyoming had been the only team with a chance of tying Brigham Young, but the Cowboys were knocked out of 8 loss to contention with a Hawaii in Honolulu. The win was the sixth in a row for the Rainbows, now second in the WAC at 2 and 3 overall. Raphel Cherry completed 22 ui 332 passes for a school-recorHato TDs two and pace yards waii.

"There's a misconception on the part of many people who think you hat to !jy in a major bowl to win a na'ional championship." Edwards said. "People fail to remember that all Texas had to do last year was field a punt to beat Georgia and become the national champions because they were ranked No. 2." Edwards said Saturday. But the Longhorns bobbled that punt in the fourth quarter of the Cotton Bowl and Georgia won Meanwhile, in the 1983 Orange Bowl. Miami upset No. 1 Neand was voted nabraska tional champion by UPI. "If Texas had beaten Georgia, Miami probably would have finished no higher than No. 2," he said. This week BY'U is just behind d Washington and No. 2 Texas, while Nebraska is fourth. "If all the teams that are there now go undefeated from here on out and finish the season the way they are ranked now, Washington. d 10-- 31-3- 0 Texas, H I and Nebraska would all be going to separate and their highest ranked opponent would be a titth- - or sixth plat e team playing a No. 1. No 2 or No. 3 team Regardless of who Washington plays, it they wir.. then they're the national cb...ips because they were No going into the bowls But Edwards noted, it Washington gees beat in the Rose Bowl, then whoever is ranked No 2. it they win in their bowl game, probably will be the national champions And so on.' Edwards said the best thing BYU can do is just prepare ourselves and be in that position where we're ranked up there in the top three or four. Then hopefully, if we can win the Holiday Bowl i, we just have to sit back and wait and see if the other people can be beat." Edwards said he doesn't really care which team BYU plavs in the Holiday Bowl, Dec. 21. But he does have an idea for an outstanding quarterback matchup. "I don't have anybody in mind, but I think a great matchup would be Boston College with quarterback Doug Flutie. The No. 1 and No. 2 ranked quarterbacks could make for a great game " . twl.

The two teams combined for 101 passes, breaking the Wildcat mark by 12 throws. Utah State quarterbacks launches 58 passes, an Aggies record and the most thrown at a Wildcat defense. The Aggies amassed 344 yards in total offense against the Wildcat defenders, which went into the game ranked seventh nationally in total defense. "We moved the ball pretty well on them." Utah State coach Chris Pella said. "But we couldn't get their offense stopped." In addition, the two teams fell one penalty short of an Arizona record of 22 penalties by both teams in a game. The record was averted when Arizona declined a Utah State holding penalty early in the fourth quarter. two-gam- e back-to-bac- The BY I men s ol!e ball team ranked fourth in the Crated Sta'es Vollevball Vssoeiation poll, will start its season with a bang l'huisdav night by hosting the Southern California Trojans, who are ranked No 3 in the NCAA poll The gars such as senior middle-block-eBrad Hammer and Jim Bnn-to- n and outside hitter Jon Moody to give BYU a potent attack.

When it comes to having your you don't necessarily get what you pay for. If you get a "bargain" paint job that ends up peeling after just a few months, it's no bargain at all. On th"e other car painted, hand, you can pay $500 or $600 for a paint job that's no better than one for half the price. The trouble is, it's difficult for someone outside of the business to tell the difference between a quality paint job and an inferior one. Knowing what to look for can like correct environment, help type of paint being used and drying techniques incorporated by the shop. In all of these areas, the Maaco auto painting system excels. That's why Dave Young and Bruce Keetch have opened a local Maaco Auto Painting and Body Works shop in Orem. Since opening a few months ago, the Orem Maaco has painted over 40 cars. Some weeks they paint as many as 30 cars. From their "overnight success" it seems apparent, Maaco has been able to combine quality and affordable price. One of the most unique aspects of Maaco is the cleanliness of the 7 operation. From the reception area to the shop area, everything is spotless. A sophisticated air filtration system is used in the painting areas and Utah's only infrared drying oven produces a paint finish that rivals factory original. While most people associate Maaco with auto painting, there are still many who are not aware of Maaco's expert body work. Their collision repair service, aided by one of the few unibody straightening systems in the valley is unexcelled. Maaco has established an excellent working relationship with most of the major HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES House of Representatives District 65 Springville District 60 Orem and South West Provo insurance companies to make body repair as hassle-fre- e as pos- sible. Maaco has a paint service for budget. The Ambassador Service runs only $189.95, the Presidential $249.95, and the Suany preme is $339.95. With this article, get $50 off the Supreme Service now through Nov. 11. The Orem Maaco is located at 560 N. 100 W. (Across the street from and behind Brown Brothers.)
