  • *or4s Western ^^iinian/September 16, 1982 Q Catamounts Remain Winless As Tennessee Tech Eases By by Kusi Kanilnlph Spurt> Kdilor Western Carolina's football team has yet to come to life. At least that's what the coaching stall is saying, and if sou were one of the 8.540 in E.J. Witmire Stadium last Saturday night, you might easil) agree with that statement. Ihe lennessee I cell Golden Eagles were the opponents in last Saturday's home opener for the Catamounts, and as the final bu/zer sounded in Cullowhee, a lot ol people were surprised, including Catamount head coach Hob Waters. The final score was Tech 17, WCU 10. "We let a team not as good as us beat us," said Waters after the game. "Our mistakes killed us. We're a better football team than we showed here tonight. This game was a big disappointment for us." Indeed, it was a disappointment, especially if you were for Western. The game looked to be controlled by Western for the most part, but as the final seconds of the fourth quarter rolled around, things changed. In fact, the game was tied with just 29 seconds remaining, and from out of nowhere Tennessee lech's Reggie Ba/el was able to bull his way over for a second touchdown that lifted the Golden Eagles to a stunning 17-10 victory over the Catamounts. Last week Tech opened its season with a 14-0 shutout victory over East Tennessee State, so obviously the Golden Eagles were ready for their next Southern Conference opponent. But it appeared Western was ready too, that is, until that stunning last second touchdown by Tech. "We played hard enough to win. but we just didn't look as sharp overall as we should have." Waters added, and indeed the Catamount offense was never really able to get things on the right track. As it turned out, the game was primarily played between the two defenses, and both teams' units looked good, coming up with crucial turnovers. It looked like the Cat's offense was finally getting things straight in the game only to have tailback Anthony James fumble the ball at Tech's 45-yard-line. Rex Bridgeforth recovered the fumble and Tech was left with excellent field position. Substitute quarterback Mark Powers immediately hit Jack Kelley with two consecutive passes that moved the ball to the 15. Kelley was able to make outstanding catches on both of Power's passes, taking the ball in the middle of Catamount defenders each time. From the 15 fullback Kevin White took the ball up the middle and fumbled only to have left guard Mike Brown make the recovery for lech at the eight. That set the stage for Ba/il's run with 29 seconds left. He was able to go over the left side ol the line with Broun and center Mike Chniela doing the blocking for the winning score. Jim Mullican added the PA I for the 17- 10 Tech lead, and again, the Cats were stunned Western's offense was up and down in that game. In the third quarter they were up. alter trailing 7-0 at halftime. Starting quarterback Tony Constantine of I ech was intercepted by Steve Marshall at the 43-yard line of the Golden Eagles with 9:07 left in the period. The Catamounts drove to Tech's 13 where Dean Biasucci, who had missed on three previous tries, finally nailed a 29-yard field goal. That cut Tech's lead to 7-3 with 7:58. The Cat's defense held the Golden Eagles and WCl took over at its own 32 after being penalized for a personal foul. Catamount quarterback Ronnie Mixon quickly went to work and hit James on a 68-yard screen pass for a touchdown. James took the pass, broke one tackle near the 50 and raced down the left side to paydirt. Biasucci's extra point was good, and the Cat's took their first lead of the game, 10-7 with 3:21 left in the third quarter. . But Tennessee Tech was not able to give up. The Golden Eagles started a drive at the beginning of the fourth quarter that Mullican capped with a 39-yard field goal at the 10:59 mark for a 10-10 tie. Western racked up 306 yards total offense to 185 for Tech, but the real difference came in turnovers. Western fumbled three times. In fact, the only score in the first half came on a Catamount mistake. Tennessee Tech coach Don Wade contributed the win to a touch of luck. "We were really lucky that Biasucci didn't hit those three field goals. It would have been a totally different ball game had he hit them." So the game ended on an if. The question that arises now is "when will the Catamounts play as they appear capable of playing?" This week they face another tough opponent in old rival Mars Hill, which like Western has had trouble getting it started in this 1982 season. The game takes place on Mountain Heritage Day, so you can be sure a big crowd will be on hand to view the renewal of the rivalry.,Can Western pull things together against a neighboring team that will be licking their chops'.' Come to E.J. Whitmire Stadium here in Cullowhee Saturday night and find out. Game time is set for 7 p.m. Players of the Week by Russ Randolph Beginning this week, the Western Carolinian will feature an offensive and defensive player of the week for football. The players receiving this weekly honor will be chosen by the coaching staff of the football team after revewing the game film. Last week, players chosen were 6'4". 210 pound Ste\e Taylor for offense, 6'2" 225 Louis Cooper, and 6'3", 190 pound Bernard Jones for defense (it was a tie in the voting for the defensive player of the week). This week, despite the upsetting 17-10 defeat to lennessee Tech, the coaches felt as if two players played well enough to receive this honor. As the offensive player of the week, the coaches chose offensive guard Kurt Jolliff, a 5T 1" 225 pound senior from Gallncy, South Carolina. Kurt was instrumental in helping the Catamounts rack up some 300 yards offense against a tough lech defense, and Coach Steve Hodgin, who coaches the offensive line, said the honoi is well deserved tor Jolliff. "Kurt, although not your typical big lineman, is an outstanding blocker, and we depend heavily upon him to open the holes for our backs. We had our problems against Tennessee Tech, but Offensive guard Kurt Jolliff Defensive standout Nathan Williams Kurt was consistant in his blocking, and as always, graded very high on game performance after watching the film." The defensive player of the week is Nathan Williams, also chosen as the Southern Conference's defensive player of the week. This Landrum, S.C. senior had 12 unassisted tackles, including two quarterback sacks and five assists in the Cat's 17-10 loss. Five of Williams'hits in Tech's offensive backfield accounted for 28 yards in losses. A transfer from Lees-McRae, where he earned junior-college Ail-American honors, Williams spearheaded a Catamount defense that held the Golden Eagles to 180 yards and 10 first downs. "Nathan set the tone for our defense," said WCU coach Bob Waters this week. "We look for these kind of performances a lot this year, and we feel sure you'll be writing about Nathan again. He's the kind of player that never quits, and both he and Kurt Jolliff are among some of our best players." Ironically, Jollif and Williams are roommates in Madison Dorm. The Carolinian salutes these outstanding players and would like to wish them continued success throughout this 1982 season. GO CA TS.
