I Don t know Byi Lough said when he was asked whether Kelly would play in saturday s exhibition game against Kansas City. "1 Hope  Kelly said when asked whether he Felt he d be the starter when the regular season starts. But i can t say that for sure. If i m not totally comfortable with the offence. I should t be in  for some of the fans who gathered around the prac Tice Field Kelly could t be in the lineup too soon. I think he s a Lake charge Guy. Which is what we be needed Edward a. Rath jr., a director of the team s quarterback club. Said. This won t be a super Bow year but t see no reason Why they can t win eight  encouraged by support in 2nd year Schne Llenberger likes 86 cards byc Llawson Louisville by in 1985. No Wishbone Leam in the nation threw the bal More effectively than air Force. Quarterback Bart Weiss passer efficiency rating of 156.1 would have ranked third in the country if he had had tote required number of attempts. This fall with Weiss having graduated the Falcons May no be As effective but they do Promise to throw More often. On the strength of outstanding performances in scrimmages Sophomore 1 Roy Calhoun has emerged As the successor to Weiss and while Calhoun docs t pos sess Weiss running insulin cos. He is widely regarded by the coaching state As a better passer. Troy has thrown the Ball extremely Well coach Fisher Deberry said after last weekend s scrimmage. He handled the Ball Well on the option and he got himself into the right plays. Troy is just a very very Heady quarterback. He s a very smart Young  it lakes that sort of intellect to under stand and execute the intricacies of air Force s flex Bonc of tens.

You Don t lose 28 Quality players from last year s team like we did and say you re not  the Falcons open their season aug. 30 Al Home against Hawaii. If they were to play today they would Start 16 seniors five juniors and one Sophomore Calhoun that Veteran look is misleading How Ever. Of the 16 seniors Only seven were starters in 1985 when air Force won a share of the wac title and beat Texas i n the Bluebonnet bowl. Among positions that need solidifying Are the defensive secondary and place kicker. Despite the overload of new faces there s a sense around the Academy that it is the system that works and that it s Only a matter of plugging in new bodies. We Are going into this season with the same attitude we had last year that we Are not going to lose a game said Deberry. Of course that May change once we Start playing. But until it does we Don t expect to lose. Thai s the Only approach you can take. We have no reason to fear anybody. There is too much
