The Detroit Lions quarterback Pic Ture is about to become even More complicated than it is already. The team s first draft pick former Iowa All americ Achuck Long was expected to sign a Lucra Tive contract monday and head coach Dairy Rogers already has a three wayward for the position among Veteran Joe Ferguson Eric hippie and second year pro John Witkowsi.

Faust plans to get Tough Akron Ohio a meet the new Gerry Faust the one who will try to Hake Down the Thunder at the univer sity of Akron this fall. He says he s not the same Man whose dreams came True five Yean ago when notre Dame put its football fortunes in his hands. He s also not the same Man who re signed last november As the losing est coach in fighting Irish history. This Gerry Faust is More like the no nonsense coach who led Cincinnati Moeller High school to National prominence. To going to be tougher said Faust so who now leads the zippers an Mcaa division i a playoff team. I started out at notre Dame in Awe of the players. And i was tougher than nails on the kids in High school. Since coming Here i m going to be Tough again. I be got the experience  that experience included a 30-26-1 re Cord at notre Dame far below the school s lifetime .762 winning percent age. I Don t regret my five years there. I do it again with the end results being the same. I loved every minute of it except for the losses he said during a recent interview. Faust also notes that his Irish team lost 17 games by seven Points or less and that with a few Breaks notre Dame could have been 47-9-1. Still he sees the South Bend Job the Akron s Gary Faust. Has new philosophy one Lou Holtz has now As the Pinnacle of College  it was a dream come True. I was Happy to spend five years there. There arc always High expectations he said. After considering several Job offers Faust settled on Akron which will move to division i a next season. This place is a sleeping giant he said. We re getting phone Calls from All Over the country from kids interested incoming Here. Imagine they re calling us Faust does t try to pretend tha Akron could be a pocket version of notre Dame he has three maybe four player who could play there perhaps two who could Start. But he does t Sec Akron As a Ste Down. I look at it this Way i m a coach an the reason i am is that i love dealing with Young people and making hem Bette football players and people. It does t matter if it is at notre Dame Akron or Chauncey Gilbert High school. If your perspective is right it does t mat Ter. A coach can be Happy if he is just working with Young people Faust said. He admits that at first he was t sure he made the right decision in jumping to the Ohio Valley conference school. But now he says he s comfortable with the move and he s finally at peace with his past. I m going to Root for notre Dame this fall sure Faust said. I love the kids there and i really want them to win. And i want Lou Holtz to do Well. He the notre Dame coach now and hell do a great  Faust laughs and says he knows a assistant coach who is scheming to break into Holtz s desk and replace the trick newspaper he uses in his magic act with a real one. But the laughter seems hollow. When it comes to winning Faust knows magic has nothing to do with  40-10-5 record in 1985 supports claim Sec coaches Coll their league tops by David Moffit Atlanta up Auburn s Pat Dye one of the mos successful coaches in the country the past few years says College football is As popular As Ever especially in the South Eastern conference despite the rash of unfavourable publicity Over academics drugs and recruiting. College football has come under some heavy criticism Dye admits. But i Don t see anything out there to indicate College football won t keep growing and  Dye s vision May be slightly distorted because he is in the Southeastern conference which annually is among the nation s leaders in income and prestige. Last year for instance six Sec teams were among the top18 in attendance As the league attracted More than 4-million football fans for the second year in a Row. Half of the 10sec schools got bowl invitations and three of those were ranked among the nation s top 20. This year could be even better. Florida 9-1-1 in each of the past two seasons but barred from television and bowl receipts is expected to come off Mcaa probation in time to go to a bowl this Winter. The Sec is stronger from top to Bottom than any other conference in the nation said Vince Dooley who is in his 2third year As head coach at Georgia. We be never bad a Many potentially great football teams. It s the Best Overall conference i be seen in my  those Are Strong words but the Sec has a Strong reputation. Over the past decade no other conference has been Able to keep Pace with the secs 23 bowl victories and Only the big eight thanks to Nebraska and Oklahoma can claim More top 10 teams for that period 18-15. The big ten thanks to the More than 100,000 per Gam who show up at Michigan draws an average of about 3,000 More to each of its games than does the Southeastern con Ference. That s misleading says Doug Dickey athletic directorate Tennessee which had the nation s second highest average at More than 94,000. Most of our schools pack pm in week after week and Many have stadium expansions on the drawing Board. We feel it s Only a matter of time before this conference draws More fans than any  Florida coach Galen Hall Points out while other conferences May have a couple of powerhouses like Oklahoma and Nebraska in the big eight or Michigan and Ohio state in the big ten the Sec is stronger from top to Bottom. The real difference is in depth said Hall. All those years 18 i was an assistant out at Oklahoma the Only conference foe we really had to worry about year after year was Nebraska. Here you d better worry every week. There Are so Many outstanding teams in our league it is hard to Rule anybody out of the race. The favorite has to be Alabama but Georgia Auburn Ltd and Tennessee Are close and of course there s us. When you look at the results Over the past few years it is obvious no team in the Sec can count on beating a league opponent. I believe it is the Best most balanced league in  outsiders Are aware of that. Last season the Sec was 40 10-5, a 77.3 percent winning Mark against non Sec Competition. Alabama s Only non conference loss was by two Points at third ranked Penn state when the Crimson tide s top defensive performer Cornelius Bennett was sidelined. And Auburn s Only non conference loss came in the Cotton bowl against 7th-ranked Texas am. During the last three years there have been about a half dozen championship Caliper teams in our league said Johnny majors whose Tennessee vols won the Sec title and then crushed sin ranked Miami 35-7, in the sugar bowl. Our conference title keeps coming Down to who won the close  majors should know. Tennessee won the Sec last season by nipping Alabama 16-14, and still would have had to Battle Alabama in the sugar bowl selection committee if leu had t tied the Crimson tide 14-14. There Are so Many outstanding teams in our conference a lot of people figured we just lucked into the title said Tennessee linebacker Dale Jones. You could t convince people at places like Alabama Florida and leu that we were the Best team. But that does t matter to us. All that counts is what you do on the  Sec watchers figure the league has six teams Alabama Auburn Florida Georgia leu and Tennessee that arc Good enough for National ranking. Unfortunately from the sects standpoint the toughness of Infra conference action will push some of those Down the ladder. There Are some schools out there that keep a High National ranking year after year by playing what we d consider a fairly easy schedule said Dye. You could t get away with that in the Sec. There Are too Many people who Al ready complain because we Don t play a top team every
