yards, a 17.1 yard average,
and 9 touchdowns. The last two
are Tech records. Tight end
Mike Oven is McAshan s other
prime target
Till ’ JACKETS* running has
been i n and out all season but
has shown signs of coming to
life in the past two games.
Greg Horne <494 yards. 4.1
average) leads the Tech
ground attack, but in recent
weeks, bullish Bruce Southall
has been the Jackets’ top
ground gainer.
Tech’s offensive line is led
by three-time All-Southeastern
Independent tackle Rick Lantz.
a high school teammate of
Georgia defensive end Tommy
Smoak. who Lantz will proba
bly be called on to block
against at times.
Defensively, the Jackets are
spearheaded by end Brad
Bourne, linebacker Joe Harris,
the team's leading tackle**, and
halfback Randy Rhino
(Editor’s note: Randy Rhino
was named yesterday to the
first All-America team by the
Football Writers Association of
America.)
IN 1970 Bourne was tapped
by Playboy as potentially the
finest sophomore defensive
player in the country. While he
has failed to achieve All-
American honors. Bourne has
established himself as one of
the finest defensive linemen in
the South.
Like Robinson. Rhino is tiny
by football standards (5-9' 2 ,
170), but has done an
outstanding job jor the Engi
neers, intercepting passes,
making touchdown saving tac
kles and returning punts. He
has picked off seven passes for
147 yards, and has returned
one for a touchdown.

There's still a hot race on in the SEC
Contrary to popular belief,
the SEC race is aiive and well
with just one week remaining
on the schedule.
Oil. OK COCRSE, those guys
over in Birmingham have
already captured the football
title, but the much more
important "Georgia greats
pick SEC” contest could go
right down to the wire in what
has been the most thrilling
championship fight in recent
memory.

Offensive Coach . Frank Inman.

ta's Richmond Ac ademy while
Inman was an ass istant coach
Frank Inman
there, and the Tech cc >ach's
first coaching experience came
under Inman, who was head
coach at Richmond during '■ 'he
Fifties, and led them to the
State AAA Championship in
1958.
Coach Inman had noth ing
1 ut praise for Fulcher as an
athlete. "Bill was a fir e.
hustling high school footba 'll
player and an outstandin g
young man Bill was a real!. V
good player at Richmond am I
was a great player at Tech.”
Till-1 JACKETS' present
coach later went to the pros,
and put in a few seasons with
the Washington Redskins Ful
cher returned to Richmond
Academy to serve under
Inmari. but injuries to Redskin
personnel made it necessary
for him to return to Washing
ton lln 1962 he again came
back to his old school and
coached them to a berth in the
playoffs.
After compiling an outstand
ing record of 50 wins, 9 losses
and 7 ties in his six years as
coach at Richmond, Inman
joined the Georgia coaching
staff in 1982, and has remained
with the Bulldogs over the past
11 years. He took over as
offensive coordinator this sea
son
"Bll.l. IIAS done a really
fine job at Tech, but I haven't
really s een him to talk to him
lately," Inman said. Pleasan
tries. however, will vanish
come Saturday when the
Jackets will be between the
hedges
"The Tech game means
everything to the team, the
coaches, the managers, every
body." Inman said. "People
may think it's funny, but this is
for the state championship.
We've got to have this one, and
we'll need some more of the
good support we've been
getting from the students to
get the maximum out of
playing between the hedges "
Till-: PROSPECTS of knock
ing off a bow 1 hound team was
secondary in Inman's mind.
"Playing Tech is incentive
enough The bowl adds some
thing, but the biggest thing is
just beating Tech; 7-4 sounds a
whole lot better than 6-5.
Another Richmond Academy
product, Georgia sophomore
defensive tackle David Mc-
Knight, would like nothing
better than to leave the Liberty
Bowl with a matchup of a pair
of four game losers; Iowa
State already having suffered
four defeats.

reigned in first place since the
first week of the season,
currently holds down a slim
one-game advantage over
Heyward Allen with a 38-8 log.
SIN'KWICH'S secret, prev
iously kept hidden to prevent
an unscrupulous theft by one of
his plotting opponents, has
been consistency. On only one
occasion has he missed two
games in one week.
One the other hand. Wayne
Swinford, firmly entrenched in
fourth place, set an all-time
Red and Black record on only
(he second week of the season
by choosing the incredible total
of five losers. Some of his
more memorable choices were
Mississippi over Auburn. Rice
over I, S.U.. Mississippi Stale
over Kentucky, and last, but
certainly not least. Georgia
over Alabama
THAT IS about the only
negative record that Swinford
holds over Zippy Morocco who,
week after disasterous week,
has made Jimmy the Greek
look like a genius. Morocco has
done so bad that it may not be
long before the Guinness Book
of World Records and Ripley's
Believe it or Not have
something else to talk about.
Buf right now. the only thing
that matters is this week. If
Miami upends Florida, Allen
will vault into a tie with
Sinkwich. but he will fall into a
tie with Charley Trippi if the
Hurricanes don't come through.
Innnan remembers Fulcher
“IOWA STATE got messed
up last week (they lost to
Oklahoma State 45-14) and
we’d like to mess Tech up this
week. We’d especially like to
beat Tech, because we would
probably have gone to the
Liberty Bowl if we had beaten
Auburn,'’ said McKnight.
McKnight feels some dis
appointment of not playing in a
post season contest, but he was
not griping about it. “We knew
we had to beat Auburn to get a
bowl bid. and that if we lost we
didn't have a chance of getting
one.”
A win over Tech would help
ease the disappointment, but
the arm of Jacket quarterback
Eddie McAshan presents a
major stumbling block for the
Dogs.
“McASIIAN IS probably the
best passer we’ve faced this
season. Most of the quarter
backs we’ve faced this season
have been running quarter
backs who only passed whey
they needed to." McKnight
said.
