The Michigan Daily-Tuesday Decemb Page 20-Tuesday, December 11, 1979-The Michigan Daily Tune in Saturday for beginning of the holiday bowl avalanche HOLIDA Y BOWL DECEMBER 21 at If San Diego, California BRIGHAM YOUNG vs. INDIANA On December 21, the Holiday Bowl in sunny San Diego will be the site of what should prove to be a passing clash between the -' undefeated Brigham Young Cougars, champions of the Western Athletic Conference, and the sur- prising Hoosiers of Indiana. Brigham Young earned the trip to the bowl by annihilating San Diego State, 63-14 on November 24th. The Cougars owe most of their success this season to unbelievable quarterback Marc Wilson, who was named to the first team of Kodak's All-American squad. The 6-5 senior passing whiz has thrown for 300 yards or more in seven games this season. BYU will most likely stick to its highly successful passing attack when they bring their 11-0 mark to Sarr Diego. "We're a passing team," said a spokesman for the Utah Mormon school, "we believe in it out here." No one can argue with that. Indiana, meanwhile, has a very impressive passing arsenal of its own. Hoosier signal-caller Tim Clifford finished second in the Big Ten in passing with a total of 1332 yards in the air. Indiana will depend on a defensive secondary led by standouts Tim Wilbur and Dart Ramsey to stop the Cougars' potent offense. The Holiday Bowl will mark only the second time that Indiana has seen post-season, the last being the 1967 Rose Bowl. All of the Hoosiers and their followers are extremely excited at the opportunity to play the 10th ranked Cougars. If the Hoosiers win, it could be the start of a big post-season for the Big Ten. -Buddy Moorehouse INDEPENDENCE BOWL DECEMBER 15 at Shreveport, Louisiana McNEESE STA TE vs. S YRA CUSE Two rookie head coaches guided teams to perfect seasons this year. One was Buckeye mentor, Earle Bruce, who will spend New4 Year's Day at the Rose Bowl as his reward. The other, Ernie Dup- lechin, will take McNeese State (11-0) to Saturday's Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana, to face Syracuse (6-5). If one player can be singled out as instrumental in McNeese State gaining the Southwest Conference championship and this bowl berth, it's kicker Don Stump. According to Louis Bonnette of the McNeese State Athletic Department, Stump's foot won six games for the Cowboys this season. Stump accounted for all of the Cowboys' points in two victories on his way to recording 15 successful field goals in 21 attempts. The remaining McNeese offense relied on the run- ning of senior Artie Shankle. Through the first eight games of the season, Shankle averaged more than 100 yards, per game. But on the first play from scrim- mage against Northwestern Louisiana State, Shankle broke his jaw. While Shankle will probably return to action this Saturday, his replacement, Theron Mc- Clenden, was more than satisfactory in running for 147 and 212 yards in the last two games of the season. Syracuse boasts a running arsenal which averaged 288 yards per game, primarily by quarterback Bill Hurley and tailback Joe Morris. Against Navy, one of the top five teams in stopping the rush this season, the Orangemen gained 203 yards on the ground. Syracause also brings a good kicking game to this game, with John Anderson having made a credible 14 or 17 field goal attempts. -Lee Katterman GARDEN STA TE BOWL DECEMBER 15 at E. Rutherfo rd, New jersey TEMPLE vs. C"ALIFORNIA Pity those defensive backs. Two of the nation's best pass- ing quarterbacks will be thrown together in East Ruth- erford, New Jersey, this Sat- Temple's Brian Broomell, the nation's leader in pass completion percentage, and California's Rich Campbell will lead their respective aerial attacks in the second annual Garden State Bowl. Temple (9-2) enters the game with the better balanced offense. The Owls were fourth in the nation in total offense, having averaged 36 points and over 450 yards in offense per game during the regular season. Broomell will have his sights on wide receiver Gerald Lucear. Lucear, a speedmerchant who also returns punts and kick-offs, has been collecting more than 120 yards per game and has ten touchdowns this season. The ground attack is led by running back Mark Bright. He averages five and a half yards per carry for over 100 yards per game as the nation's 12th best ground gainer. While California (6-5) had a less impressive season, it also met more challenging opponents in the tough Pacific 10. Since the Golden Bears rely so heavily on the pass, it has been especially damaging that wide receivers Floyd Eddings and Holden Smith have spent the lat- ter part of the season sidelined with injuries. Give the record-setting Campbell the chance to throw to either of these two on Saturday and the Temple secondary will face its toughest opposition of the season. --Lee Katterman TAR HEEL defensive back Ricky Barden floats up- field after picking off an opposition pass. The 5-9 fireplug is rated by many as the finest defender in Carolina's history.
