Granted, Steve Young had a lot of yards passing
this season but you would too if you threw the ball
75 times a game. Young throws the ball so much he's
on a four-game pitching rotation. He has to ice his
arm down after every game and his pitching, er,
quarterback coach is trying to get him to throw
more breaking balls and stop giving up the gopher
ball. Look for Young to try and throw over the Mis
souri defense and look for Missouri to grab at least
five of those throws. Missouri 28, BYU 14.
Son Bowl: Dec. 21, SMU vs. Alabama. Why is SMU
in this bowl is a question that has been asked too
many times but why Alabama is in this bowl hasn't
been. The Tide has not been the best this season at
money time. They lost tough games to Boston Col
lege, Penn State, Auburn and Tennessee, four very
good teams. In all of those games the Tide had a
good chance to win. They didnt, which is the differ
ence between Ray Perkins and Bear Bryant. Ala
bama has lost the mystique that it always had with
Bryant as coach. SMU definitely has the better of the
two teams, but if Bryant was coaching the Tide it
wouldn't have mattered. SMU 27, Alabama 7.
Aloha Bowl: Dec. 23, Perm State vs. Washington.
Poor, poor Don James and his Washington Huskies.
Twice in the last two seasons they have had a
chance to go to the Rose Bowl and twice they've
blown it. Not only that, but the culprit both times
was its hated rival from Pullman, Washington State.
So instead of going to Pasadena for a certain loss to
the Illinois Fighting Illini, the Huskies have to go to
Hawaii to play Penn State in the Aloha BowL Poor,
poor Don James. Penn State should be happy to
anywhere at alL After getting off to a 0-3 start, the
Nittany Lions lost only one more game and counted
victories against West Virginia and Notre Dame in its
ledger. Penn State never did really find a quarter
back. I think at last word Joe Paterno was trying to
buy out Todd Blackledge's contract from the Chiefs.
This game rates a tossup so that's how IH score it.
Perm Ctrta 21, Washington 24.

Since then, the Hurricanes have proved them
selves by winning 10 straight against such oppo
nents as Notre Dame, West Virginia, East Carolina
and Florida State. Miami's defense was the key to.
many of those victories, Schnellenberger said. It
gave up only 78 points during those games.
The defense's most impressive performance may
have come on national television when the Hurri
canes shut out Notre Dame, 20-0. Freshman defen
sive back Reggie Sutton was named the Associated
Press co-defensive player of the week along with
Hurricane linebacker Jay Brophy. Sutton blocked
two Irish field goal attempts and recorded 13
tackles.
The West Virginia victory was the eighth straight
relatively easy win for Miami. The only test came in
the rain at Cincinnati as Miami struggled before
pulling away from the Bearcats, winning 17-7.
The Hurricanes had become the top team on the
Orange Bowl selection committee's list and were
more or less assured an invitation to the hometown
classic if they could defeat Florida State in Tallahas
see the next week.
Again, the Hurricanes had trouble, but kicker Jeff
"Flea" Davis came to the rescue and booted a field
goal with no time remaining to defeat the Seminoles,

in this game but they are in this game. Notre Dame
has a good team, it's just that they have a rotten
coach. Gerry Faust simply is not a major college
coach and he's tried to prove that several times. The
first indication that Faust was in over his head was
when he tried to give Blair Kiel a detention. Luckily
for Notre Dame fans, Faust has been able to use his
personality and probably his wallet to lure several
outstanding players to the schooL The Liberty Bowl
always seems to be a bowl where something weird or
eerie happens. Remember it was the last place Bear
Bryant coached. Look for something really eerie to
happen this year, a Notre Dame victory. Notre
Dame 28, Boston College 17.
Gator Bowl: Dec. SO, Florida vs. Iowa. Chuck
Long vs. Wayne Peace is how this game may be built
up. Long did a great job of quarter backing the Haw
keye3, except for the Illinois game. Peace also did a
good job except for when he went against Georgia. If
it hadn't been for the Bulldogs, the Gators might be
in Dallas or New Orleans instead of in Jacksonville.
Florida 31, Iowa 17.
Cotton Bowl: Jan. 2, Texas vs. Georgia. Wouldn't
it be great if Texas could play Nebraska, preferably
in Lincoln. Well as we are taught to learn at a very
early age, you can't have everything you want.
Instead, all the fans in Nebraska who would love to
see Texas get beat will have to count on Georgia.
Don't anyone hold their breath. Actually, Nebras
kans should root for a Texas win which could make
a playoff closer to reality. Texas 21, Georgia 7.
Fiesta Bowl: Jan. 2, Ohio State vs. Pittsburgh.
Let me start by saying that neither of these teams
deserves to be in this bowl game. Coach Earle Bruce
once again turned a Rose Bowl situation into a less
than Rose Bowl situation. Ohio State still has more
talent than Pitt and if Bruce doesn't show up it
could be a rout. He will show up, so it will be close.
Oldo State 13, Pitt 10.
Rose Bowl: Jan. 2, UCLA vs. Illinois. UCLA will
defeat Illinois in the Rose Bowl, I repeat, UCLA will
defeat Illinois in the Rose BowL Why? Because they
know this game and they know how to win it. Take
17-16.
When the university finally received word the
next week that it would play in the Orange Bowl, a
huge pep rally was held, the likes of which Steiner
said hadn't been seen in Miami for almost 30 years.
"We're now perceived as the Miracle Mets or like
Joe Namath and the Jets," Steiner said. "Everybody
likes the underdog and we're like a darling team."
Steiner compares the Hurricane season to a
playwright constructing a script. He said there was
just enough drama and excitement, as well as a
crisis. Now the Hurricanes are just waiting to add a
happy ending.
away Illinois' three big home victories against Ohio
State, Iowa and Michigan and Illinois had a less than
outstanding season. They lost to Missouri and that
in itself would cause me to pick the Bruins. UCLA is
battle tested after games with Nebraska, Georgia
and Brigham Young, the former two being on the
road. UCLA came back from a disastrous start and
jelled behind quarterback RickNeuheiseL Don Rog
ers will scare the pants off of the Illini with his
ferocious hits and Jack Trudeau will have a tough
day against a good Bruin defense. UCLA 20, Illinois
10.
Sugar Bowl: Jan. 2, Auburn vs. Michigan. I'm
going to get through this quick because I want to get
to the big one, Bo Jackson, Randy Campbell, Lionel
James, Pat Dye, Dowe Augtman. Michigan: Steve
Smith, wimp; no Anthony Carter; Bo Schembechler.
Auburn 24, Michigan 7.
Orange Bowl: Jan. 2, Nebraska vs. MiamL As it
has been pointed out to me, Miami, which tradition
ally has the nation's toughest schedule, didnt this
season. That's how you win 10 games and lose one.
That one game sticks in my craw. Losers, 28-3, to
Florida in the season's first game, Miami came back
to squeak by most of the ten teams left on its sche
dule. The Orange Bowl Committee was in a situation
where they had to take Miami or play the game in
Havanna. Miami is quarterbacked by Bernie Kosar
who might have one of the best arms a freshman
ever had. Keith Griffin is one of the tailbacks on the
team and he's a good one. On Nebraska's side is the
fact that they have been to the game the last three
years. Also, Nebraska has the knowledge that it only
has to pay $100 per ticket compared to the $500
they're paying in Miami One thing Nebraska Coach
Tom Osborne has to do is keep his players off of talk
shows and out of amusement parks. Miami will have
a decided home field advantage which is worth at
least six points. Those six points will be all that
Miami gets as Nebraska repeats its 1972 Orange.
Bowl victory against Alabama. Nebraska 38, Miami,
without Johnny Musso, 6.
