ISU Cyclones hope to avoid
another injury -ridden season
Editor's Note: This is the 10th part of a
series previewing Nebraska's 1982 football
opponents.
By Jack Denker
If the 1982 version of the Iowa State
football team can avoid injuries to some
key individuals, Assistant Sports Infor
mation Director Alan Schultz believes the
Cyclones can finish higher in the Big
Eight than their pre-season second division
prediction.
"I don't think we will end up seventh
in the conference if everybody stays
healthy," Schultz said.
Injuries have plagued Cyclone Coach
Donnie Duncan's team the last two
seasons. In both campaigns Iowa State,
got off to a fast start, then suffered injuries
and saw the season go. downhill. Iowa State
finished 5-5-1 last season after a 5-1 start.
The thought of injuries is so haunting to
the ISU coaching staff this fall that they
have elected to withhold injury-prone
defensive tackles Shamus McDonough and
Chris Boskey from any major contact
in order to protect their knees.
Duncan thinks a healthy McDonough
and Boskey are essential components to
a Cyclone defense that should be a
dominant force to be reckoned with this
fall.
"Defensively, we return nine starters
from a team that should have been better
than it was last season," Shultz said..
Iowa State finished styth in the Big
Eight in total defense last season.
Aloflg with McDonough, second
team all-Big Eight last year, and Boskey,
ISU also returns its top two defensive
ends in James Ransom and Rodney
Hutchins.
Linebacker is believed to be the deepest
position of the Cyclone defense and will
be led by Chris Washington, who led the
team with 168 tackles last fall, Doug
Fisher and George Jessen.
Replace one

back Joe Brown. It should remain a
competitive group,, with the return of
safties John Arnaiid, Darren Longshore
and cornerback Ronnie Osborne.
This is a year of uncertainty for the
ISU offense, as the Cyclones face the
task of filling numerous skill positions
with newcomers. Coach Duncan says
if Iowa State is going to finish in the
upper division of the Big Eight, they
must find adequate replacements at
quarterback and tailback.
No. 1 on the list of priorities for the
Iowa State coaches is to replace last
season's all-conference quarterback, John
Quinn. The likely choices to fill that
vacancy are juniors Jon English and Dave
Archer.
"Both of our quarterbacks are throwing
the ball well," Duncan said. "But we would
like to know our starter soon, though."
Senior Harold Brown appears to be the
man ISU will rely on to fill the shoes of
departed Dwayne Crutchfield, the Big
Eight rushing leader a year ago with
1,189 yard, at tailback. Duncan believes
he has a gem in Brown.
"He (Brown) has Joe Washington's
feet and Billy Sims' speed," Duncan
said. "He's here because we were looking
for a tailback and he was looking for a
place to go. Brown has also made a lot of
progress adapting to our style."
Premier back
Brown, a transfer from Jolliet, 111.
Junior College, was considered one of
the premier junior college running backs
in the nation a season ago. He set the
new single season rushing record last
year with 2,100 yards and 20 touch
downs. "He (Brown) doesn't try to knock
you down like Crutchfield, but he is
quicker. They are totally different type
runners," Schultz said.
Returning starter Jerry Lorenzen will
again toil at fullback, while Michael Wade
is the only returning starter among the
Cyclone receiving corps. Wade caught
a team-leading 27 passes last season and
also is a dangerous punt returner.
If the adage "games are won and lost
in the trenches" holds true for ISU, the
Cyclones could surprise some teams in
1982.
The offensive line is considered to be
the strongest, part of the Cyclone offense
this season. This stems from the fact that
between Iowa State's five starters there
are 14 years of experience. All Big-Eight
tackle Karl Nelson, center Jim Meyer and,
guard Ted Clapper, all three-year starters.'
"Overall we're pleased with our of
fensive line," Duncan said.
The kicking game seems to be above
average again this season with the return of
kicker Alex Giffords. Sophomore Kelly
Goodburn will handle the punting chores.
"Our success depends upon injuries
and having key people play the entire
season healthy," Schultz said. "In some
areas we're not as deep as we want to be,
but we could challenge the middle of the
(Big Eight) pack. We should finish better
than we are expected."
