Redskin fans may be down on the Utes at the moment but the Cyclones know that Saturday is going to be a long day no matter who wins. Back to the Cyclones This is the first time in his three years at Iowa State that the former Tennessee tailback has almost enough quality depth. He has 23 ieiteimen about evenly divided between offense and defense. His biggest lettered losses were on defense whete halfbacks Tom Elliott, a gieat pass defender and an outstanding punt returner, and Larry Hulton, a top intercephe ted graduated. Interestingly enough a pair cf two year effensivr stars now till those gaps in the secondary. Obert Tisdale was the In Town quarterback for two and a hetler than aver- C clone jear age one. After two days of spring drills looking at three young quarterback candidates Tisdale asked for a shot at the defense. In two mare days he was firmly established Xhere. His experience reading defenses as a quarterback gave him a big edge letting him now read the quarterback. Does he like defense? Better believe it now I get to hit guys instead of being hit. Jeff Allen, who holds the Big Eight kickoff return record for a season at 599 yards, is the right rorner man who ran a pass interception back 84 yards against Colorado State. The defence ha? been good for two rears but the offense had been so weak that the de fense, a prideful defense there are the factors that Majors hopes will give his helped since each man has a bit of an edge on any given George Amundson and Dean Carlson split the quarter- backing duties with honors al- most pvcn- Both run tllp club ref,l we. both pass well, both run fairly well. So they split the duties about evenly a sit- uation that most coaches do not like but in this case it has fense had to play as much as 75 per cent of the, time.
