  • S?~XJmmW^m\ w.ittrn ■• • ^Carolinian Catamount Football Looking to Impress in Bleil Era by Donald Costello & Daniel Hooker The first season of the Bill Bleil era in Western football gets rolling in just over a week. The renewed passing attack will be led by the Southern Conference's leading returning quarterback, Josh Brooks, and East Carolina transfer flanker Mike Sellers. Western's disappointing 1996 season, four wins and seven losses, started out with two wins against Liberty and Wofford. The Cats then faced the meat of their schedule and dropped the next six games, outscored by opponents 236-109. One of those losses came at the hands of 1996 I-AA National Champions Marshall University, 56-21. Fortunately, Marshall moved up to Division I-A this year and is no longer a Southern Conference member. With Marshall gone, many teams in the Southern Conference will be jockeying for the position of the league's new powerhouse team. The Cats will be no exception as they strive to improve on last year's record. Coach Bleil will not predict how many games the Cats will win or where they will finish in the conference standings. "As far as knocking off any of the top teams in the conference, we will have to play over our heads in all areas," stated Bleil. Here are the matchups for the Catamounts this year: Liberty: Sept. 13, in Cullowhee. Last year the Cats took on the Flames in Lynchburg, Va., and escaped with an upset w"n, 20-10. Liberty was ranked as high as ninth in the pre-season polls only to finish the season with a 5-6 record. Returning for *e Flames will senior QB Ben Anderson who passed for 269 yards against the Cats last year on 22-47 passing with two interceptions. The key to the Catamount win last year was the defense forcing six turnovers led by Eric Johnson's two interceptions and ten tackles. Defense will be the key once again this year, as Liberty will have many of its starters returning on offense. Prediction: Catamounts °y a touchdown. The Citadel: Sept. 20, in Cullowhee. The Citadel is coming off of its second straight losing season that included losses to the University of Miami and Marshall. The Bulldogs held the Cats' score- •ess for the first three quarters last year en route to a 28-14 victory. Led by a potent run- n'ng game, the Citadel rolled up 330 yards °n the ground. The Citadel has its whole running corps returning this year on an offense that is returning nine starters overall. The Catamount defense against the run has looked good in practice so far. It will be a homecoming for Citadel head coach Don Powers who played for Western from 1964-67 and is p his flrst full year as Bulldogs head coach. Prediction: Western, 27-24. East Tennessee State: Sept. 27, in Johnson City, Tenn. The Cats will make their first road trip of the year looking to avenge an embarrassing 49-10 loss at the hands of the Buccaneers last season. The Bucs finished with a 10-3 record, 7-1 in the Southern Conference, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA I-AA Playoffs. Seventeen starters will be returning for first year head coach Paul Hamilton. Missing from the starting lineup, however, will be quarterback Greg Ryan, who passed for 212 yards against the Cats' last year, and receiver Greg Johnson, who caught five passes for 139 yards in the win. The key for the Cats to stay competitive against the ninth-ranked team in the country will be the ability to pass against the speedy Buccaneer defense. Prediction: ETSU by a pair of touchdowns. Furman: Oct. 4, in Cullowhee. Western will take on its second straight ranked opponent when the Paladins come to Whitmire Stadium. Furman is ranked sixth in the nation and is the pre-season pick to win the Southern Conference. Last year's meeting proved to be an offensive showcase as the Paladins racked up 573 yards of total offense to the Cats' 358 yards. Furman had nine plays on offense that covered 30 or more yards and averaged 9.0 yards per play. Catamount QB Josh Brooks will be looking to improve on his career high 25 completions last year, as the Cats will need all the help they can get in holding down the mighty Paladins. Furman looks to be the front-runner in replacing Marshall as the dominant team in the league. Prediction: Paladins by plenty. Georgia Southern: Oct. n, in Statesboro, Ga. The Cats will take on yet another Western alumnus, first year head coach Paul Johnson. The Eagles are looking to re-establish themselves as the national powerhouse that produced four national championships from 1985-1990. The preseason rankings have the Eagles at number 19. Last year the Catamounts had an 11-point lead in the third quarter before Georgia Southern scored three touchdowns in the third quarter, leading to a 38-28 win. The Eagles are returning 18 starters from a team that won only four games last season. It will be the third straight game against a ranked opponent for the Cats, and that will play a large factor in their performance. Prediction: A run-down Catamount squad drops their third straight. Wofford: Oct. 18, in Cullowhee. Finally, a sigh of relief for the Cats as first- year Southern Conference member Wofford makes its way to Whitmire Stadium. Last season Western dominated the Terriers in their first meeting since 1984. Rookie tailback Darius Hooks gained 203 yards and set a WCU record for rushing by a freshman. The Catamount defense created five turnovers including three that stifled the Terriers in Catamount territory. Wofford wiU return 20 starters from last season. This yearns meet- Running the ball, #20, Kamarco Butter; making the tackle, #28, Dale Smith; in pursuit, #33, Cedric Crudup. Photo by Terry K. Roberts. ing will be the third straight road game for Wofford. Prediction: Cats by three touchdowns. Tennessee-Chattanooga: Oct. 25, Chattanooga, Tenn. Last year the Mocs struggled to produce on both sides of the ball and finished the year with a 3-8 overall record, 2-6 in the Southern Conference. One of those two conference wins came at the hands of the Catamounts. The Catamount offense failed to score a touchdown as the defense had its best showing in six games. The Mocs set the tone for the day when they came down with a 48-yard pass play for a touchdown as two WCU defenders had their hands on the ball. Kicker Ken Hinsley produced the only points for the Cats on a 39 and a 42-yard field goal that brought Western to within eight points. The Mocs put the game away with a 94-yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter. This year, the Catamount offense should not struggle in the same fashion as a year ago. On the road, however, the Cats could struggle. Prediction: UTC, 35- 31. VMI: Nov. 1, in Cullowhee. The Keydets have been the goat of the Southern Conference for some time and served as the Catamounts' lone conference win a year ago. WCU outgained VMI 473 yards to 246 and halted a six-game losing streak, winning 17- 14. It was the first conference road win for the Cats since 1994 as they held the Keydets to only 67 yards in the first three quarters. This year, VMI seems to be in the same boat ,but first year coach Ted Cain will be looking to gain respect. It will be the last home game for the seniors. The Catamount defense will be too much for the Keydets to handle. Prediction: Western by a field goal. Elon: Nov. 8, in Burlington, N.C. Elon will be the sacrificial lamb of the Catamount schedule as it was last year. The Cats walloped the Fightin' Christians 45-28 in last year's meeting. The 501 yards of total offense was the best offensive output in over two seasons. Elon had only 216 yards of offense. Elon will return 18 starters this season. The Cats need to take this game seriously before looking ahead to the following week against App State. Prediction: Cats, 48-17. Appalachian State: Nov. 15, Boone, N.C. Enough is known about this rivalry, including App winning the last 12 meetings against the Cats. The Mountaineers are ranked 17th in the pre-season polls. Last year, the Mountaineers scored on a 21- yard run with just over two minutes left in the game to topple the Cats 24-17. Speculation prior to this game was that head coach Steve Hodgin would have saved his job had he coached a victory over App. State. New coach Bill Bleil will look to establish himself as the first coach since Bob Waters to defeat App. Throw out the records for this match-up. The Western kicking may be the deciding factor. Prediction: Ken Hinsley connects on a last-minute game-winning field goal to give the victory to the Cats. Samford: Nov. 22, Birmingham, Ala. This match-up of the Cats and Dogs will be the first meeting since 1992, a 30-6 victory for Samford. The Bulldogs return 16 starters from last year and 34 letterman. Samford is coming off of a 6-5 season that included a win against Catamount opponent Wofford. Samford will open the season tomorrow night against sixth-ranked Furman in a game that will test its stamina for the year. Western will be the only other Southern Conference opponent. It will be the finale for the Catamount seniors. Prediction: 24-10. A 6-5 record for the Catamounts could be considered a successful season, especially if the Cats are able to conquer App. State. With the high confidence level that the players are showing under Bleil, an upset may be in the making for some of the tougher opponents. It has the making for a very interesting season of Catamount football.
