’DOGS’ DYNAMIC DEFENSIVE DUO

Syracuse upset gave
OSU incentive to win
By BILL EICIIENBERGER

In September pf 1971, Dee
Andros, affectionately dubbed
“The Great Pumpkin" in ob
vious reference to his rotund
physical appearance and
orange coaching garments,
brought an overweight and ill-
conditioned Oregon State squad
to Athens and watched help
lessly as Georgia, capitalizing
on superior conditioning,
routed his Beavers 56-25.
This past Saturday after
noon, Oregon State returned to
Sanford Stadium where they
were once again beaten deci
sively. only this time. Andros
and his Beavers were both
physically and mentally ready
to play football.
Oregon State opened the 1974
football campaign on the road
against Syracuse, a team they
thought they could beat But
Syracuse, urged on by new
Head Coach Frank Maloney,
upset the visiting Beavers
23-15.
Oregon State flew directly to
Atlanta following the Syracuse
disaster and rededicated them
selves to the task of knocking
off Dooley’s Dogs. Andros and
his team were determined to
try to salvage something out of
their four game road trip
which includes Ohio State in
Columbus this coming Satur
day and Southern Methodist
the following week.
"AFTER OUR loss to Syra
cuse, we felt we had something
to prove, and any improve
ment we had in performance
today was due entirely to the
hard week of practice we put
in at Atlanta," Andros explain
ed following the Georgia con
test.
Audios felt that his squad
played well enough offensively
to win the game, but his
defense just couldn’t come up
with the big play when they
needed it. He credits the
Georgia offense with making
life so miserable for his de
fenders.
"Georgia made fewer mis
takes offensively than we ex
pected them to make. They
had no turnovers and playing
the entire game with sopho
more quarterbacks you have to
give Georgia credit for an
excellent job of offensive exe
cution.” Andros said.
When questioned about the
relative merits of the ’71 and
’74 Georgia squads, Andros
said. "Georgia has some real
fine talent this year. 1 thought
they might be missing Andy
Johnson more than they seem
ed to. This Clark boy and
Robinson too did a fine job
directing the offense."
Dicky Clark merited some
special words of grudgingly
given praise from a distraught
Andros following the game.
"Two or three times we had
(’lark in our clutches, only to
see him elude one tackier after
another behind the line, and
then end up completing a key
pass."
AS COULD be expected in a
high scoring contest such as
the Georgia-Oregon State game
was. neither coach was overly
pleased with their respective
defenses. Andros said of the
defensive aspects of last Satur
day’s contest that, “I’m not
proud of our defense and I’m
sure Georgia is not proud of
theirs. As much yardage was
gained out there this afternoon
as when Grant took over Rich
mond in the Civil War."
Oregon State surprised the
Dogs as they spent most of the
afternoon running right at the
Georgia defense when they had
previously been known as a
passing team. Andros decided
at the beginning of last week to
attack the Georgia defense on
the ground.
"We felt like we could run on
Georgia,” Andros said, "even
though rushing defense is sup
posedly their strength, and
with 200 yards on the ground, I
think we did an excellent job of
doing just that."
ANDROS was also impressed
with the speed of Georgia’s
Gene Washington. "That Wash
ington is some kind of kick
return man. He scares you to
death every time he puts his
hands on the football."
Coming off two consecutive
2-9 campaigns, Andros who has
had only three losing seasons
in his 10-year stay at Oregon
State, had hoped to be at least
even in the won-lost column for
this grueling four-game road
trip. That hope has been dash
ed. as nothing short of a
miracle could catapult his
squad to a victory over Ohio
State.
Vince Dooley though, is glad
to have the Beavers out of
Athens and on their way to
Woody Hayes land, "Oregon
State has a good looking squad
and they may cause some
trouble in the PAC-8 before the
year is over."
Demosthenes Konstandies
Andrecopoulos, the Great
Pumpkin, certainly hopes so.
The only
thing economical about
this receiver is its price.

Into each life a little rain
must fall.
In the case of Saturday’s
game, in which Georgia out-
slugged Oregon State 48-35,
leaving legions of the Bulldog
faithful delirious with joy over
the prospect of having an
offense that scores, and keeps
them entertained to boot.
There was certainly ample
cause for celebration, for no
one, on the field or in the
stands expected two sopho
more quarterbacks, neither of
whom saw full time action as
freshmen to direct a new
offense to 48 points and 400
yards of offense, including 354
by ground and commit no
serious mistakes while doing
it.
Fans should dote on that all
they wish, for half of the
Bulldogs' play Saturday was
just as bad as the other half
was good.
I SPEAK, of course, of the
'Dogs defense which after bril
liant start fell apart.
Oregon State Coach Dee
Andros said it best. “I haven’t
seen so much ground gained
since Grant took Richmond.
I’m not pleased with our
defense and I don't think
Coach Dooley is pleased with
his, either.”
The game sure didn’t start
out that way, though While
Georgia broke on top 7-0, via a
nifty Horace King halfback
pass to Butch Box ("an excit
ing player," says Georgia
Coach Vince Dooley), State
could do nothing with the
Georgia defense. On its first
four possessions, the Beaver
offense started at its own 20,
thanks to outstanding kicking
by Alan Leavitt and punter

Scout ins’s worth

don’t know enough
about Scouting.
Bucky Dills (47.4 average on
the day). Respectively, the
offense advanced to their own
22. 25, 28 and 29 and did not
make a first down or advance
into Georgia territory until the
second quarter. That’s defense.
From then on, it was down
hill for both defenses. Beaver
quarterback Alvin White, who
is perhaps second only to
USC’s Pat Haden among PAC-8
quarterbacks, began to demon
strate his skills. He led State
back from a 20-point deficit
with two scores; one the result
of a ball-control drive, the
other on a perfect White to
Grant Bousted 59-yard pass.
WHITE kept up his stellar
play all afternoon passing for
one more score and setting up
another while throwing a 67
yarder to tight end Dave
Brown. White totaled 1% yards
passing on the day, an excel
lent total since State was
playing catch-up the whole
game.
Sylvester Boler, the smooth-
talking, hard-hitting lineback
er, wasn't mystified by the
defensive collapse “I thought
we played good defense early,
but after we got such a big
lead I think we tended to have
a little mental letdown here
and there and they really took
advantage of it. This has a
tendency to happen in the first
game, but as the season gets
on, we’ll correct these mental
mistakes.
We expected Oregon to be
more of a pass-oriented team,"
said Sly, “and when they ran
the ball as well as they did it
caused us to have to make
some adjustments. I was really
impressed with a couple of
their backs. They really ran
the ball well.
There’s no doubt we made
some mistakes,” said Sly’s
sidekick, Keith Harris, every
thing a college linebacker
should be. “We let down a little
bit, and I thought they did a
good job offensively when they
came back like they did. We
made some good hits though.
"I THINK we were well
prepared for their offense,"
said Steve Taylor, a potential
all-SEC defensive back,
"though they ran the ball a
little more than expected.
Their quarterback was the
mainstay of their offense. He’s
big and strong and ran the
sweep well Our adjustment to
that hurt our pass defense."
Opening games reveal sev
eral flaws, and defense of any
kind was lacking on Georgia’s
part. “Mississippi State prob
ably would have beaten us
today, the way we played,”
moaned Dooley. “And they've
had two weeks to prepare for
us."
