Fowlers Romance gives him the inside STt replacing the "$40 million man" Steve Young Robbie Boscoe, billed as the heir . apparent after Young used his last j 1 of eligibility, did not have a ; Lj day. Interceptions and ! Kompletions were more numerous ki completions. However, during to previous scrimmages, Boscoe ,s had thrown the ball very well. A ,j 8VU quarterback has to throw the I id well as the running game seems to be a forgotten phase of football in Provo. During halftime a field goal kicking contest between Coach Edwards, an assistant baseball coach and two BYU vice-presidents was won by the vp's. Coach Edwards should have suspected a set up when the vp's showed up in $60 kicking shoes while the Cougar head coach wore an inexpensive looking pair of blue and white, sharp toed, cowboy boots. Defensively, the top lineman this spring has been Jim Herrman. He's big, strong and mean with a nasty temper. Definitely All-WAC material. The linebackers are good with Leon White All-Conference caliber, Kyle Morrell is an excellent defensive back and could be great if the former Viewmont High star can learn to control his temper. Neither Boscoe or Fowler look in the same category as Young but then who is? The darkhorse quarterback is Ricks College transfer from Skyline High in Salt Lake City, Steve Lindsey. He just might be the replacement that BYU is looking for. Come fall, there's every reason to expect that Cougar Stadium will again be filled Saturday's with 65,000 fans and BYU should be in the Holiday Bowl chase again. A 10-1 record and a national ranking seems too much to expect, but Cougar football will continue to be the number one sports attraction in Utah. |
