Show .2 C, The Salt Lake Tribune, Saturday, November Cougars to Entertain Miners Today 1, 1980 Ag, Tigers By Ray Herbat Meet in N v Logan Tilt Tribune Sports Writer PROVO Brigham Young University Coach LaVell Edwards doesnt quite know what to expect from UTEPs Miners when the two teams meet here Saturday in a 1:30 p.m. Western Athletic Conference game. "Its hard to figure them (UTEP). They have played some good games this year, and I believe hy are better than a year ago when we didnt lock up the game until the fourth quarter," expressed Edwards, who is seeking his 70th coaching victory this week. By Roger Graves Tribune Sports Writer Utah State, in the midst of a climb that LOGAN could result in its third consecutive PCAA football championship, attempts to reach a heretofore unconquerable summit Saturday when the Aggies close their 1980 home season against Pacific at 1:30 p.m. in Romney Stadium. The summit Utah State hopes to reach Saturday? Two consecutive victories, an accomplishment which has eluded USU through seven games. The Aggies (3-- 4 overaU but 0 in the PCAA) have foUcwed a lose, win, lose, win pattern throughout 1980. However, if a third straight conference championship is to find its way back to Logan in 1980, Utah State can ill afford a loss to Pacific (3-- 5 overall, in the PCAA) with the Utags final two league games on the road at San Jose and Long Beach State. "Ive maintained aU year that nobodys going to win this conference outright with a loss," stresses Utah State Coach Bruce Snyder, whose team currently shares the league lead with Long Beach. "That makes every conference game important. If you let down one week, it could cost you the outright championship. "I think Bill (Coach Michael) has done a good job with his team. Theyve made progress, but to say what they will do is hard to figure, really. They have good runners. UTEPs offense is geared around tailback Delbert Thompson, who leads the WAC in rushing with 96 yards per game. Thompson also catches passes and returns kicks. Keith Castle is the UTEP quarterback. He has completed throws for 420 yards and has thrown two touchdown passes. Castles favorite receivers are Thompson and flanker Frank Jarzombek, who have caught 30 passes between them. UTEP is basically a running teem. The Miners threw orJy 10 passes last week in a crushing 1 loss to New Mexico. 22-2- Wildcats Defense Eyes Idaho Attack 2-- Ken Hobart By Steve Luhm top quarterbacks around operating their veer attack.

According to Edwards, BYU is not taking UTEP lightly, despite the fact that the Cougars have not lost to the Miners in 10 seasons. "Since that first game loss to New Mexico, the players know they have their backs to the wall and cannot afford another loss. They realize how important each WAC game is and I think they will be ready to play well this week," explained Edwards. The Miners are 7 on the season and in the WAC.
