Thats not an idle boast around the Arizona State University camp. At least this week its strictly factual information, but it remains to be seen how the Sun Devils fare at Brigham Young University Saturday afternoon. National statistics shed a light on the solidarity and variety of the ASU offensive attack led by Italian-bor- n Spaghetti Joe Spagnola, third ranked in the nation in total offense with 267.5 yards and the sixth best passer By DAVE KADLECK ' Deseret News Sports Writer - announced today.

I couldnt tell you where they could hurt us most he said; softly his Texas drawl giving his voice great seriousness. BYU meets ASU Saturday 1:30; p.m. in Cougar Stadium. Hudspeth continued: I cant mention one name on the Sun Devil team that could hurt us anymore than another. Im just glad I'm not a track coach. That ASU team could beat most university track teams across the cou- v: :Ur, M'c nationally with a 56.0 Arizona State quarterback Joe Spagnola, nicknamed Spaghetti Joe, is the trigger behind the nation's most balanced offense. ntry.' f just hope were ready' lie added. Hudspeth enjoyed of Arizona States great team talking percentage-wis- e mark. The Sun Devils, unbeaten in four starts, possessors of a 10 game winning streak and ranked 11th in UPI and 12th by AP, also are second in total offense with a whopping 543 yards a game, 1.5 behind the leader, Notre Dame. can boast of being the only club ranked among the leaders in both rushing and passing, showing how well Spagnola makes use of his running backs Dave Buchanan and Bob Thomas plus his three receivers J. D. Hill, Ed Beverly and Calvin Demery. Rushing the per game average is 276, passing its 2G7, good enough for eighth and fifth in the rankings respectively. In scoring the Devils are second at 40.5 points an outing, three tenths behind the Irish. Even on defense the Devils have made their mark, allowing only 93 yards a game 10th best in the rushing country. But the whole show is nola.

Biggest change will be that with onetime quarterback David Coon running from Jacksons tailback position. Daves a fine athlete. At 135 pounds and good speed, he definitely will help us in that position. Hes not the slashing type runner that Jackson was, but hes quicker. Hell adjust quickly to the change because of his great athletic ability, Hudspeth said. News that his Cougars were 23-underdogs did little to 7 brighten his day Friday. 6-- But Hudspeth is hardening under the barrage of bad news that has hit him in all directions this season. Latest volley to shake him and the Cougar future that includes five games was the Kip Jackson injury. Jackson suffered a severe injury to his It was about right knee. three minutes before the game Jackson ended, (Arizona) said following that test. It hurt the following morning but was feeling better as the day went on, Jackson said Sunday. Sophomore Peter VanVal-kenber- g also is scheduled to see action from the tailback position. Van Valkenberg, like Jackson, is a slashing type runner. Hudspeth said Van Valkenberg also would see action from the wingback slot where hes been doing well. Hudspeth praised his senior tailback: Kip played by far his best game at Tucson. He reached his peak of last year, Hudspeth continued, .thinking of Jackson's three-yar- d TD romps and against Arizona while compiling 54 yards in IB carries.

Miller has been out the past three games and his pass catching ability has been sorely missed. Hopefully, Van Valkenberg, Richards, Coon, Miller and the host of uninjured Cougars can steal the spotlight from ASUs great quarterback Joe Spagnole, and his fleet of backs Dave Buchanan, halfback, J.D.

In those two games alone he tossed seven touchdown passes and ran for one. Its best summed up by Bob Allison, sports editor of the Phoenix Gazette who said, Not the least of Joe Spagno-la- s assets as a great Sun Devil quarterback is his refusal to panic. The lean man from Naples knows what his plays can do and what his teammates can do. He is likely to get downright persistent on trying something until it works. L Automatic Transmission Cooler Vi.
