After their worst season in 13 years,
the Missouri Tigers hope to chal
lenge for Big Eight supremacy with a
new coach, a new defense and an old
problem at quarterback.
The Tigers began the 1984 season
with a 1-3 non-conference record. After a
35-21 loss to Kansas in the season
finale, which gave the Tigers a 3-7-1
record, seven-year coach Warren Pow

Widenhofer brings with him the pro
style 3-4-4 defense, which is designed
to thwart opposing passing attacks.
The newly installed defense will show
case the Tigers' linebacking corps.
Bo Sherrill, a 6-3, 220-pound junior
who led the team in tackles (09) last
season, will lead the linebackers from
his inside spot. Mike Vestweber and
Buck Stinson will battle for the other
inside linebacker position.
The outside linebacker spots will be
filled by Gary Justis and Eric Troy, who
both started the second half of last
season. Freshmen Lee Johnson and
Darren MacDonald also might challenge.

told us what we needed to know,"
Bowden said.
After two McManus passes resulted
in a touchdown, Bowden's concern fell
upon his young and inexperienced def
ensive secondary. But, following the
quarterback's example, the unit dis
played uncanny maturity by not giving
up the long pass.
But FSU wasn't perfect: the ball car
riers accumulated 225 yards on the
ground but coughed up the football
four times twice inside the Tulane
15-yard line and once on their own 11.
Bowden had another worry on his
flight back to Talahassee.
Late in the first period, Bowden's
most dangerous offensive weapon, wide
receiver Hassan Jones, re-separated
his shoulder as he dove for a pass. He
will not make the Nebraska trip and
probably will be out of action for two to
three weeks.
The team also will play in its own
conference, in which it finished second
last season.
Kansas, Iowa State, Quincy College
in Illinois, and last year's champion,
Graceland College, are in UNL's con
ference. The team also competes in Lincoln's
city recreation league, and finished
second in that last year.
