Clarion's Wing-T offense ranks among the tops in Division II in
rushing offense. The Golden Eagles were fourth in the country
entering the West Chester contest, and boosted the figure to 293.8
yards per game with a 344-yard effort against West Chester... sen­
ior Adam Almashy is in his fourth year as the starting quarterback.
While not renowned for his passing, Almashy possesses deft ball­
handling skills and is a strong runner. He became the first Clarion
quarterback to go over 1,000 yards rushing for his career last
week, rushing for 100 yards to go to 1,089 yards. That ranks 21st
all-time ... senior tailback Robert Walker has moved into 8th place
in career rushing with 1,604 yards, and is tied for second in career
rushing TDs with 23 ... after sitting out the 2001 campaign, Troy
Bowers has returned with a vengeance. The junior noseguard
leads the PSAC with 13 tackles for losses, after previously leading
the conference in 2000.

MCNICHOIAS TOP POUTER IN BIHSIONII
Sean McNicholas is off to a record-setting pace punting the football
for the Scots. He is averaging 47.6 yards on 30 punts, with eight
ending up inside the 20. The senior entered the Indiana(Pa.) game
leading Division II in punter. One good reason - he's had four
kicks of 60-or-more yards.

ZOGNAROLL
Since sitting out the Tiffin, Alonzo Roebuck has been running with
a vengeance. The senior tailback has topped the 100-yard mark in
the last three games, rushing for 151 yards at East Stroudsburg
and 136 yards at Shippensburg, followed by a career-best 170
yards this past week vs. lUP. Roebuck now has seven straight 100yard games and has moved into 12th place in career rushing with
1,452 yards. He entered the week ranked 22nd in Division II in
rushing, and he should move up following Saturday's effort which
boosted his average to 119.8 yards per game.

ten games. The last team to hold the Golden Eagles under 200?
Edinboro. In last year's 24-12 victory, the Scots "limited" Clarion to
195 yards on the ground.

WHATS HAPPENEO TO THE BEFENSEP
This isn't the first time that the Fighting Scots have suffered a
three-game losing streak, but what makes the losing so perplexing
is the play of the defense. Over the last three contests the Scots
have allowed 125 points and 1,417 yards. Those numbers are far
from the usual figures put up by head coach Lou Tapper's staunch
defenses. In fact, Edinboro had been ranked among the best rush­
ing defenses in Division II prior to the Shippensburg game. The
last time Edinboro gave up that many points in a three-game span
came in 1998, when Carson-Newman, Glenville State and
Millersville combined for 129 points.

NE](T FOR THE FIGHTING SCOTS
Edinboro hits the highways for a PSAC West contest at Slippery
Rock. Kickoff is set for 1:00 p.m.

Cam Marsh started the first three games of the season at quarter­
back before sitting out the final three quarters against Tiffin and
the East Stroudsburg and Shippensburg tilts due to a shoulder
injury. The sophomore returned to the lineup last week, complet­
ing 21 of 27 passes for 145 yards and 2 TDs. He is currently com­
pleting 68.7 percent of his passes.

WELCGME HACK CAM

One of the few promising aspects of the lUP loss was the Cam
Marsh to C.J. Trivisonno connection. The sophomores hooked up
for four pass completions, including touchdown catches of three
and one yards. The six-pointers were the first of Trivisonno's
career.

L^S HAVE A DLOCK PARTY
It's becoming a weekly thing. Another game, another blocked kick
for the Fighting Scots. A year ago Edinboro blocked eight kicks.
The Fighting Scots have been at it again this year, getting at least
one block in every game. This past week it was an extra point,
and the week before that the Scots blocked two extra points at
Shippensburg. All told, Edinboro has registered eight blocked
kicks. Previously, the Scots blocked a field goal vs. Gannon, an
extra point and a punt against Ashland, a field goal at Tiffin, and
an extra point at East Stroudsburg.

Pittsburgh
Tepper began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at
Pittsburgh in 1967, then moved on to the University of New
Hampshire from 1968-71, coaching the running backs and line­
backers before becoming the defensive coordinator. His next stop
was the College of William & Mary, where he joined former New
Hampshire head coach Jim Root as the defensive coordinator from
1972-77. The 1976 William & Mary squad posted the school's
best record in thirty years. He was the assistant head coach his
final year at William & Mary.

VirgluiaTech
Tech head coach Bill Dooley hired Tepper as
his linebackers coach. Tepper helped build the Hokies into a con­
sistent bowl contender with a defense that annually ranked among
the nation's top ten. He stayed at Virginia Tech from 1978-82,
working with Outland Trophy winner and Buffalo Bills great ’
Bmce Smith, among others. The 1980 Hokie edition played
Miami(FL) in the Peach Bowl.

Colorado
Tepper joined Bill McCartney's staff at Colorado in 1983,
serving as the defensive coordinator and assistant head coach until
departing for Illinois in 1988. Tepper helped turn around a Buffalo
defense which ranked No. 100 nationally in yards allowed prior to
his amval, to one which was as high as 11th in Division I in total
defense. He earned the title of assistant head coach to McCartney
his final two seasons, and helped the Buffaloes to the 1985
Freedom Bowl and the 1986 Blue Bonnet Bowl. Among the assis­
tant coaches at Colorado was Gerry DiNardo, who would later
bring Tepper in to direct his LSU defense.

Wisconsin offense had generated a

The Badgers are holding on to the
hope that Evans will make it
back for some, if not all, of the
Big Ten season. Evans is so
skilled and so valuable that his
loss, for however long, is bound
to have some kind of an impact
on the offense, as a whole, and
Davis, individually.
Last season, Evans caught 75
passes and set the Big Ten record
for receiving yards with 1,545.
He was the perfect complement
for Davis. And vice versa.
“Lee Evans definitely took
some of the eyes off of me,” con­
ceded Davis. “A lot of times teams

had reached the end of the line—the
production line.
With the sudden departure of Michael
Bennett, who skipped his final year of
eligibility, there was nobody to continue
the tradition. So they thought.
Given this backdrop, and what was
being said about a potential void at the
tailback position, Anthony Davis felt like
he had something to prove by living up
to his own potential. So he said. And so

since 1995.
The Badgers did however,

the school record for passing
yards and became the first
team in Big Ten history to have

The 1,000-yard streak began in 1993
with Brent Moss and reached its peak
during Ron Dayne’s four record-shattering

left tackle and A1 is the center.
Both are All-Big Ten timber.
“1 like the experience and the productivity that is coming back

broke the NCAA career rushing mark and

on offense,” said Wisconsin head coach Barry Alvarez. “And 1 like the
fact that we have a sophomore tailback who’s just starting to
scratch the surface as far as his ability.”
In his first college exposure, Davis has already begun to establish
his own identity, separate from Dayne and Bennett. All he needed was
a chance to show what he could do. Yet there was a stretch during
his first year on campus when he was buried on the depth chart and

acknowledged Davis, who redshirted as a
freshman in 2000, sitting, observing and
learning behind the explosive Bennett. “That

from New jersey (Plainfield), “so 1 definitely

and focused instead on just getting better. To be honest, I didn’t

He was more concerned
with victories. And, in this
capacity, he was disappointed
with the way the 2001 season
played out. The Badgers dipped
to a 5-7 record and failed to
go bowling for the first time

With or without Evans occu­
pying defenders, Davis can be
tough to find when he’s hiding
behind Wisconsin’s huge offensive

thought that I was going to have a chance to play here. I’d call my
family and tell them, ‘I’m never going to play. The coaches don’t like
me, this and that.’And they just told me to be patient and the cream
will rise to the top.”
Coming out of his first spring practice, Davis was one of three
running backs vying for the starting assignment. And there was some
talk of “tailback by committee.” But after Davis rushed for 147 yards
in his college debut against Virginia, there was never any doubt about

White, “the standard around here has always been, ‘The expectation
level for performance doesn’t change.’And it won’t. We’ll have the
same expectations for our offense.”
That can mean only one thing.
“When we game plan, the one mandate coach Alvarez always
gives us,” White said, “is put the ball in the hands of the players
who can make plays that can help you win a Big Ten championship.
And that’s what we’re going to do.”
Alvarez is an old ball coach, a no-nonsense blue-collar conservative.
He prefers muscle over finesse, smash-mouth over spread, grind over

season and good things will happen.
What you see is what you get.”
Lots of good things have happened for
the Cyclones since Wallace—a 6-1,184pound quarterback—committed to the pro­
gram after a standout career at Sacramento
City junior College in California.
Wallace originally committed to Oregon
State and was set to begin playing there,
but could not qualify academically because
he was a class short. When it didn’t work
out, Wallace went back home to Sacramento and
enrolled at Sac City.
The team’s starter got hurt early in the season and
that opened up the signal calling to Wallace. That sea­
son, he completed 106 of 155 passes for 1,398 yards
and seven touchdowns as the team went 9-2. Wallace
finished his two years throwing for 3,675 yards and
22 touchdowns, earning Rrst-Team JUCO All-America
honors twice.
There will be more challenges this season for the
Cyclones, especially with teams a year wiser to Wallace.
“You see different changes,” he said. “Last year,
toward the end of the season when teams had a
chance to see film on us, they’d have a spy guy,
<
a linebacker watch me.
“But that’s good for us, because it opens up our
receivers. If they want to focus on me, they can, but we have a great
team and feel that nothing can stop us.”
Not much stopped him last year.
In his first game, against Northern Iowa, he ran for 97 yards and
two touchdowns on only five carries, in a conference game against
Baylor, he set a Big 12 record by completing 18 straight passes, finishing
22-0T24 with 299 yards. Against Oklahoma State, all on third down plays,
he scrambled for four first downs and threw for three others, in a 24-21

midtown Manhattan.
What you will see is what many Big 12
football coaches saw last season: Seneca
Wallace darting left or right, throwing offbalance with pressure on and making first
downs when no one thought he’d have
a chance.
That’s all Wallace wants: a chance to
let his play do his talking. If that happens,
then Iowa State football could be back on
the national scene, and Seneca Wallace
could be the first Heisman Trophy hopeful
for the Cyclones since Troy Davis back in
1995 and ’96.
“I don’t look at it like that [needing
publicity to help build more of a cam­
paign],” Wallace said. “You have a decent

loss at Texas A81M, he threw for 348 yards and tied a
Cyclone record with 30completions.
Wallace finished^lecond on the team in rushing
last year, carrying the ball 114 times for 475 yards and
seven touchdowns. He also completed 167 of 269 passes
(62.1 percent) for 2,044 yards and 11 scores.
Growing up in Sacramento, football was his love. Since
he’s been at Iowa State, the comparisons to more recent college
quarterbacks have been to the likes of former Kansas State QB
Michael Bishop and Virginia Tech signal-caller Michael Vick.
“I’ve always wanted to go out there and, when things break down,
just make a play,” Wallace said. “I’m not the stereotypical, drop-back,
set-in-the-pocket quarterback. When we get the chance to break some­
thing, I take it.”
Entering his senior year, and knowing that the expectations of the
Cyclones lay squarely on his ability to make plays, Wallace knows the
pressure will be on him.
“it was really important to get that bowl experience last year,”
Wallace said, “because it gave us an idea of what we wanted. Now,
we want to get back there and go higher. It’s put everyone on a high.”
If that happens, no gimmicks will be necessary. ■

Hi

Grand Valley State quarterback Curt Anes and wide
receiver David Kircus are both studying physical therapy
and will each graduate in the spring, but the university
labels the program “Movement Science.”
That’s fitting for the leader of an offense which
raced down the field with frenetic kinetic energy.
Anes, a senior from Kentwood, Mich., threw for
3,273 yards and 49 touchdowns before suffering a
season-ending knee injury in the first playoff game.
That’s 49 TDS in 42 quarters, and he spent almost 20 of
those quarters watching reserves finish the blowouts
he helped create.
“Three years ago, 90 percent of our offense came

could utilize all the weapons we had. Everything that
could hurt you fit our style of play.”
That led to the no-huddle, shotgun offense Grand
Valley State employed full-time last season, a first for
the program.
“There’s always another play coming in. I don’t
have time to think about a bad play. It keeps me in a
zone, in a rhythm. Stuff’s happening so fast, you don’t
think about. You just play.”
Anes finished a close second to Valdosta State QB
Dusty Bonner for the 2001 Harlon Hill Award as the top
Division II player, and was voted the top athlete in
Michigan (high school, college or pro) by the readers of
the

Detroit Free Press. His injury happened just before

halftime of the first-round playoff game against
Bloomsburg. He ran a sneak, trying for a first down to
stop the clock. Coach Brian Kelly says that was in typical
Curt Anes fashion, he needed a yard but tried to get ten.
So in the same situation, will he call the same play
this year?
“That’s the million-dollar question,” Kelly says,
chuckling. “I think I’ll be a lot more judicious.”

“What we were able to do was attack our “It’s akin to a basketball game. We had a lot

Conference, went 10-2 and won its first ACC title since ’85. The Terps set
a school record by scoring 390 points, were ranked as high as No. 6 and
played in the Orange Bowl against Florida. For his efforts, Friedgen—
affectionately known as the “Fridge”—was the consensus national Coach
of the Year.
Sure, Maryland took the rest of the ACC by surprise in 2001,
something that won’t happen this season, but Friedgen welcomes
the challenge. He’s waited a long time to be in this position—32 years
as an assistant coach—and he’s determined to make Maryland into a
perennial top 25 program. A successful 2002 season would go a long
way toward making the goal a reality.

RF; During two-a-days, the band director asked me to come over and
speak to the band. So I did, and while I was talking to them, they asked
if I knew the victory song, and they kidded me into singing it. I said ‘Sure
I know the victory song. I went to school here. If you play it. I’ll sing it.’
So they did, and I said the next time we sing that together is after we
beat North Carolina [in the 2001 season opener].
So maybe it’s become part of the tradition that when we win we go
over there and I’ll sing the victory song. It kind of united our student body
and gave us a spirit that we’re proud to win the game and we’re proud
that we’re Maryland.

or anyone who saw Justin Fargas practice this past spring,
it comes as no surprise that he became USCs No. i tailback

F

this season.
Fargas did not merely win the starting job in spring practices,
he completely silenced an expected debate on the tailback
competition, in his first spring scrimmage in Southern Cal, he
gained 139 yards. In his second scrimmage, he tallied 111.
No one at USC could remember the last time a tailback had
gained more than 100 yards in a scrimmage.
“We had a lot of problems tackling him,” USC defensive line­
man Mike Patterson said. “We can’t even imagine what he will do
when he’s actually running through other teams.”
After being relatively calm while discussing Fargas after he trans­
ferred from Michigan, USC coach Pete Carroll could barely contain
himself when he recounted those scrimmage performances.
“Justin’s been the biggest surprise of our team, but we were
really counting on him doing something special,” Carroll said. “He
was what everyone came to see. He ran tough, he ran fast. He
made his presence felt. He knew he had something to prove.”
Fargas treats every carry like he’s making up for lost time, which
he is literally doing. He seized the starting job, and it’s easy to see
why after listening to him talk about his desire to play this year.
“I’m hungry. Thirsty. Starving,” Fargas said.
Fargas has been waiting five years for this moment. It was
assumed he would start many games when he graduated high school
in 1998, and was generally considered the nation’s top prep tailback.
No other tailback received as much publicity or was recruited
as intensely. When he announced he would attend Michigan, it
seemed a natural choice for a superstar who had gained 6,334
yards and scored 82 touchdowns. It was assumed he would start
for four years and then have a successful NFL career.
But that was before the injury that almost cost Fargas his right
foot occurred.
Fargas shattered his leg during his freshman year against
Wisconsin, suffering multiple fractures. It was no ordinary fracture.

however, as Fargas soon found out. A Michigan trainer said it
looked like something you would see in a car crash.
Doctors briefly contemplated amputating his foot.
“I found out it was more like falling off a building or being
in a major car accident,” Fargas said. “To hear that I could have
even lost my foot, I think how lucky I am just to be running,
much less to be playing football.”
Fargas still remembers the trauma he went through, from a
physical and mental nature, and the fear he felt that he would
never regain his athleticism.
“I’ll never forget the excruciating pain,” Fargas said. “A lot of
things run through your mind when you know your leg’s broken.
Taking away a leg is like taking away Superman’s cape.
“To know I’ve come from almost losing
my foot to being able to play now, that just
makes me want to play even harder. I didn’t

immediately assumed Fargas would be No. 1.
“You will see Sultan McCullough, Justin Fargas and Malaefou
Mackenzie all giving US frontline play,” Carroll said.

But when Carroll released his depth chart, Fargas was the top choice following his dominating spring.
Even his competition was amazed at his improvement. “He’s like a power back,” McCullough said.
It’s ironic that Fargas and McCullough are playing together and actually friends, since they were bitter
rivals in high school—Fargas at Notre Dame in Sherman Oaks and McCullough at Muir in Pasadena.
No one ever thought they would play at the same college.
“I hated his guts [In high school],” McCullough said. “I was a running back. He was a running back. In
high school, you wanted to be the best. I wanted him bad, whether it was in football or track.”
The tension began to disappear once they played together in a high school all-star game after their
senior year. The bitterness disappeared so much that McCullough was unhappy Fargas left for Michigan.
“That’s my boy,” McCullough said. “He should have been here from the start. I always tell him that. We
need him now. We’ll make a great 1-2 punch. It’ll be his turn to shine.”
Fargas isn’t quite as blunt in his assessment of the relationship but remembers the rivalry, which
extended from a football playoff game to the state track championships. “I didn’t have any hate in my
heart, but it was competitive,” he said. “I’m actually glad we’re together. It’s kind of weird. You never

screws placed in his leg, only to learn four
months later the leg was not healing prop­
erly. He needed another operation where
his leg was literally rebroken and two metal
plates were inserted, forcing him to redshirt
in 1999. He also required a third operation
to repair tendons in his big toe.
When he finally returned, it was hardly
with great fanfare. Fargas was third on
Michigan’s depth chart and by midseason
he asked to switch to safety, frustrated with
his lack of playing time.
“They didn’t want him to switch, but he
wanted to play,” said his father, Antonio.
The position switch was not easy,
because it came so late in the season and,
by the end of the year, Fargas was so dis­
appointed that he wanted to transfer. He
immediately thought about USC, which was
his original college choice.

2000, Fargas was far from completing his
comeback. For one thing, he had to take
a heavier class load than other students
his age because many of his classes at
Michigan did not transfer to USC.
Fargas also changed physically since his
last visit to USC as a blue-chip prospect,
when he rode around campus with
Robinson in a golf cart. The second time
around, he was thin and frail. His ankles
were so thin that some barely recognized
him as the prep phenom from Notre Dame
High in Sherman Oaks.
“I was surprised how skinny he was,”
said USC sprint coach John Henry Johnson,
who recruited Fargas for track. “I was con­
cerned because when you have all these
lower-leg injuries, you can’t always do what
you need to do.”
After months in the weight room, Fargas
erased any doubts. He weighs more than
200 pounds for the first time and can
bench-press a career-high 405 pounds. But
he’s also regained the speed and moves
that seemed to disappear when he came
back from his injuries at Michigan.
“I feel like I bring more with me now,”
Fargas said. “Before I got hurt, I had a lot of
speed. Now, I put on some weight and some
of the lifts have given me the quick burst.”
Added Johnson: “His lower-body devel­
opment has been remarkable.”
The added power means that Fargas
has the confidence to run through people
instead of merely trying to dart past them.
Fargas said he’s doing whatever it takes to
finally realize his goal.

“Especially when you’re new to the
team, you want to show you’re tough,”
Fargas said. “I’m getting bigger, older and
stronger. I want to be the tailback for USC.

Ii4uries cost Fargas his chance to hecome a hona fida

If the spotlight fells upon Fargas, he will
be ready. Before he even entered college, he
had so much scrutiny from fens, media and
coaches that he became quite Comfortable
speaking with strangers and people calling
him the best running back in the nation.
Sports Illustrated and USA Today wrote
stories about him. TV stations in Los
Angeles interviewed him. His announcement

to attend Michigan was carried live by a
local radio station.
“For a lot of players, this situation would
have been difficult to handle,” said Kevin
Rooney, his coach at Notre Dame. “But Justin
was able to handle it with extreme grace.”
Although Fargas is a fifth-year senior, he
will apply for a sixth year of eligibility after
the season because of his many injuries.
“I definitely want that,” Fargas said. “I
would love to play two years.”
But Fargas knows there is a possibility
the NCAA will jl^ny his appeal.
“I have to’look at this like I need one
great season,” Fargas said.
The only question will be whether Fargas
can stay healthy through an entire season.
With use’s depth at tailback, it may not be
necessary to use him as a workhorse, which
would lessen his chances for injury.
“We’ll mix them and they’ll all play,”
Carroll said.
And truth be told, that would be fine
with Fargas. He has gone through so much
that he can handle not getting every carry,
as long he just gets his chance.

That would mean the world to me.”

Since arriving in Edinboro in January 2000,1 have felt it is essential that we give to the community
and vice versa. It has been very gratifying to the response of local organizations in assisting Edinboro
football. Two years ago the four service organizations proved invaluable working at the Bills - Browns
scrimmage, and for the last two years have run our 50/50 raffles. Thier assistance was greatly appre­
ciated. Myself and my coaching staff looks forward to working with these organizations once
again this year, and thank them for their support of Edinboro Football.

Edinboro University has had a history of players performing in the
professional ranks, including three players currently playing in the
Canadian Football League.
Three-time All-American Jeremy O’Day is in his sixth season as an
offensive lineman in the Canadian Football League. O’Day played two
seasons for the Toronto Argonauts, helping them win the Grey Cup . The
6’3”, 295 lb. offensive guard was chosen by the Argos in the 1997 supple­
mental draft. He is now a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Another former Fighting Scot playing north of the border is JelT
Traversy. The 6’5”, 280 lb. nose tackle was the Calgary Stampeders’ third
pick in the 1997 college draft.
The third former Fighting Scot is John Williams, last year’s leading
rusher. Williams was drafted by British Columbia in the fourth round of
this past spring’s CFL Draft. He led the Scots with 723 yards rushing and
added 14 receptions in 2001.
Several former Edinboro players have enjoyed success in the Arena
Football League, most notably Cleveland Pratt. Though just 5’7”, 171
lbs., Pratt has prospered in the indoor football league. This past season he
played for the Florida Firecats, enjoying an outstanding season. He
ranked among the league leaders in scoring and all-purpose yardage.
Former Edinboro wide receiver Quentin Ware-Bey has also toiled in
the AFL2, playing for the Carolina Rhinos.
A number of other Fighting Scots have made their marks in the pro­
fessional ranks. Denorse Mosely was a member of the Miami Dolphins as
a defensive back for two seasons, and was also in training camp with the
Green Bay Packers a year ago. He spent the majority of his first season
with the Dolphins on the practice squad before being activated for the
playoffs.
James Dumas, a defensive back two years ago for Edinboro, was
signed as a free agent by the San Francisco 49ers in 1999. Gilbert

John Williams was drafted by the British
Columbia Lions in the fourth round of the
Canadian Football League Draft.

Grantlin was a free agent signee of the Minnesota Vikings in 1996, earn­
ing a spot on the practice squad.
Mike Kegarise, a 6’6”, 310 lb. offensive tackle, was highlv-regardeH
by the Seattle Seahawks before----------------suffering a severe knee injury.
He spent the 1994 season on the
Seahawks’ injured reserve list.
Former head coach Tom
Hollman produced two other
NFL hopefuls. Offensive guard
Curtis Rose signed as a free
agent with the Miami Dolphins,
while wide receiver Ernest
Priester was signed by the
Denver Broncos. Priester later
played for the Cleveland
Thunder of the Arena Football
League.
Edinboro players perform­
ing in the NFL date back to the
1970’s, with both Dave Green
and Jim Romaniszyn playing for
the Cleveland Browns. Green, a
running back, also played for
the Montreal Alouettes in the
CFL. Romaniszyn, a 6’2”, 225
lb. running back, was drafted by
the Browns in the 13th round in
1973, then switched to line­
backer.

Now a member of the Saskatchewan
Roughriders, offensive lineman Jeremy
O’Day previously played for the Grey Cup
champion Toronto Argonauts.

V

Edinboro made its initial venture
into the NCAA Division II playoffs
in 1989, dropping an exciting
decision to North Dakota State in
Fargo, North Dakota.

SMITH lOOKS TO GET BACK TO HIS ROOTS
by Bob Sbreve. Sports Informotion Diroctor

For three years Dave Smith has harassed
opposing quarterbacks. Over the first six
games of the 2002 season, that role has
changed somewhat. A year ago Edinboro
head coach Lou Tepper shifted Smith from
defensive end to rush linebacker. The
change was very subtle, as Smith led the
Fighting Scots with 8 sacks while setting a
school record with 20 tackles for losses.
The latter figure was also good enough to
lead the PSAC.

tactics, and with it, a reduction in Smith's sack totals
We ve been running a different look," admits Smith. "I'm off the ball
adjusting to playing off the ball, having to wait
for the play to come to you. I'm used to rushing the passer. But I'll
do yjjiatever coach wants me to do. I'm not one to complain I
might be uncomfortable at times, but as long as coach puts me in a
position to make plays, I'm happy."
^

American wrestler Cory Ace.
"Me and Cory are probably best friends," he pointed out "He
pushes me to do well and I push him to do well."
Something else that means a great deal to Smith is his relation­
ship with defensive line coach Wayne Bradford. Bradford shares that
fondness for the Scot defender. "Coach Bradford means a lot to me "
stressed Smith. "I've been through thick and thin with him He's
been my psychologist."
"He's a wonderful kid," Bradford pointed out. "He cares. He
cares as much as anybody. He's the heart and soul of this team
because he wants to win. He gets the most out of what he's been
given. We have a special relationship. We both came here at the
same time.
"He gives everything he has," Bradford continued. "He wants to
win. Its as important to him as anybody. I don-'t think he's ever
been on a winning team. Sometimes it gives him a poor self imaqe
