On Thursday, the 25-year-old Roethlisherger held onto the lead he took in the compulsories and finished at 113.42. Consistency was the key to his success, Roethlisberger said. “Hitting sets is the most important thing out there. If you don’t hit your sets you're not going to win.” Roethlisberger, who has been on the national team forsix years, was the nationalall-around champion in 1990, 1992 and 1993.

Today, he’s a chiseled 240, and hasn't lost a step. “When you've got talent like that,” says running back Hema Heimuli, “you'vegot to find a way to get them theball.” Splitting time last season, Mili caught 33 passes for 503 yards and four touchdowns. Lewis made 32 receptions for 328 yards anda pair of TDs, Neither minded dividing the snaps, “It was great for when one of us wastired,” says Lewis. “And two heads are always better than one.” Butit's clear the new arrangementis more popular — evenif it took somegetting used to “| didn't even know what an Hback was,” Mili confesses, “But I learned to like it fast.

Instead, he settled for a solid, but quiet season in which his brightest moments came on special teams — blocking fieldgoal tries against New Mexico and Notre Dame. But Lewis may fulfill his early promise. During the spring, he regularly flattened Cougar defensive backs and became one of new quarterback Steve Sarkisian's favorite targets. “I wanted to go out and dominate,” says Lewis, ‘I had a different mind-set,” And with Mili on the field at the same time, the Cougars have the potential to cause some serious double-trouble “We're more dangerous this way,” saye Mili. “You put Chad and| out there together and move us around, there's going to be a tnlamatch somewhere.
