Another reacts to a sticky issue concerning his star wide receiver. It's time to take a look Around the Horn. No. 5 Wiscoxsrx: Wide receiver Chris Chambers began his three-game suspension this past week against Oregon. He will sit this Saturday's home game against Cincinnati. as well as the Big Ten opener against Northwestern on Sept. 23 in Madison. NCAA rules state that missed games due to injury cannot be counted toward a suspension. Therefore, Chambers must be healthy since he has begun serv- ing his three-game penalty. Coach Barry Alvarez bristled at a published report that Chambers' injury would keep him out until later in September, implying that Chambers began serving his suspension, despite still being hurt. "I think our medical person- nel are more on top of that issue" than the press, Alvarez said. No. 13 PeRDUE: The Boilermakers travel to Notre Dame this weekend facing an unexpected starter at quarter- back -- and an unexpected style of offense. Starter Arnaz Battle, an option specialist, is out indefi- nitely after fracturing his left wrist against Nebraska. The replacement, announced vester- day by Notre Dame coach Bob Davie, is 6-foot-7 Garv Godsev, If only because of his size, Godsey is slower than Battle. To account for this, the Fighting Irish must adjust their offensive game plan. Purdue coach Joe Tiller knows about the new guy on the block. "Gary Godsev's a guy we tried to recruit at Purdue," Tiller. "Ie's a guy I suspect will be dif- ficult to get down." No. 17 OHIo SvUrE: Coach John Cooper is pleased with the Buckeyes' 2-0 start. Ie's also pleased with the 70 points his team has scored, after struggling offensively throughout 1999. Cooper won't, however, have to delve deep to find an area for improvement. The emphasis at practice this week will be discipline - Ohio State incurred 13 penalties in each of its first two games, against Fresno State and at Arizona this past weekend. "We had 13 (penalties) and AP PHO0O Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez contends Chris Chambers was not injured for last weekend's Oregon game, legitimizing his choice to sit Chambers out. that's 13 too many," Cooper said. liven though the Arizona game was played at 7:30 p.m. Iacific time, the heat was still a factor. "It was pretty hot out there - 95 degrees when we started the ballgame. I felt our football team held up pretty well condi- tioning-wise," Cooper said, adding that he thought his team handled the temperature increasingly better as the game went on. No. 19 ILLINoIs: After travel- ing to the Golden State to play San Diego State last weekend, California comes to Champaign to complete the 'exchange pro- gram. Coach Ron Turner made quite a bold statement about the Golden Bears. "I see a team that reminds me a lot of us a year ago. Expectations are not very high, except for within the team," Turner said. "They're expecting to go to a bowl game. They're expecting to have a winning sea- son."' Turner added lie thinks California will be ranked by the end of the season. Certainly a win over his Fighting Illini would help the cause for Cal. No. 22 MICHIrGAN SrxrE: Despite injuring his right thumb, starting quarterback Ryan Van Dyke might start this Saturday at Missouri. See HORN, Page 13 Indiana announced yesterday that it hired assistant Mike Davis as interim basketball coach to replace the fired Bob Knight. The move prevented potential problems with the team, including the possibility that a number of players would trans- fer. "There was no way I could turn this job down" said Davis, surrounded by the team at a news conference. "I'm sad by the way it happened. ... Everyone knows Coach Knight is the rea- son I'm here and why the players are here" But, he added, "Indiana basketball is bigger than anyone." John Treloar, another Knight assistant backed by the play- ers, was also retained and promoted to interim associate coach. "We're so pleased they're willing to go forward with us" athletic director Clarence Doninger said. "We are presenting a unified front today. We're looking forward to the future. We know this team has great potential" Knight was fired Sunday for repeated misconduct. Monday the players told Doninger that Davis or Treloar had to be hired as interim coach or every one of them would leave the program. "There's no question they came to Indiana University to play for coach Bob Knight," Doninger said in an earlier inter- view. "We'd like to think they came to Indiana University because of Indiana University, too. But I know the facts of life here, and they came to play for coach Knight" Dane Fife - who said Monday he had decided to transfer - met with Davis and Doninger priorto yesterday's press con- ference and decided to re-evaluate his early position. "I've spoken with my teammates, and I was at a club last night and somebody came on stage and said, 'Dane, you've got to stay.' And the place just erupted in loud cheers," Fife said. "It really made me appreciate what Indiana basketball is all about." Yesterday before the press conference, Dane's brother Dugan - who played guard for Michigan from 1992-96 - said that if Dane chose to transfer, he wanted to stay in the mid- west. "Michigan is one of the possibilities," Dugan said. "He is also thinking of Michigan State or maybe Notre Dame." But Dugan hinted that Dane would probably stay at Indiana if Davis were hired. "(Dane) hasn't asked for his release yet," Dugan said. - The Associated Press contributed to this report.
