European Stars And Stripes (Newspaper) - October 29, 1988, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 26 the stars and stripes saturday october 29,19bb Dofi she heal by Eric Turner Riihl on Ari Ona s Davtd eld Ridge 25 helped Urcla keep its dip ranking nil n 24-3 win saturday. Bowls expect Strong Field Fly Richard 1ioffer Lus an cirs to Lotus it s never Loo Early in gel confused about the bowl matchup. Hui Heller time than right now when we have six unde scaled teams Only two of which play one another in the regular reason and none of which must play each Oiler in a bowl source of All this confusion is the pacify ic-10 conference which will probably Send either undefeated and top ranked Urcla or undefeated and third ranked us into inc Rose Iowa against a big ten team of absolutely no National significance should the Bruins or trojans survive their nov. 19 meeting undefeated they can rightly claim a National championship. On the other hand there will be some Contention if As i possible four other teams also stand undefeated. Scenarios Urcla beats us which then loses to notre Dame. The Irish currently no 2, will have no Shoi at the Bruins ranking if us beats both Urcla and Noire Dame the trojans no. 1 status will be argued by say West Virginia. Or Wyoming which could Fin ish undefeated in the Holiday howl hav ing proved nothing. Or Arkansas doomed to the Cotton bowl. And never mind Miami or Nebraska or Oklahoma Otice Defeated learns that would t mind a rematch. In l Ion think this is confusing does t it have you talking playoffs John Junker associate executive director of the fiesta bowl to Lilly Points out the people talking playoffs ignore the fact that in 12 of the last 15 years or so there s been a fairly Clear Cut National  College football thai s the framework of inc bowls. There May be no singular game no one game Hal will gel the buildup but our guess is that a National championship probably can be won once we get past Jan. 2," Junker Odds. Junker is Coracci to Point out that Inci Eising things can happen in the weeks to come. The Urcla us Nolc Dame Trian Gle will sort much of in out. And Miami Lias games with Arkansas and leu. There Are some things Oul there that Are going to make some bowl directors very  he says. There could be for example a Notredame Miami rematch a notre Damn Wisl Virginia shoot out even a Urcla notre Dame game bowl directors can afford a Don t worry be Happy Altitude Junker says. Of those games. Junker Points Oul the one you probably should worry about is a notre Dame Miami game even though in would be a great sell and Miami would love another crack at thai Wiira Point. But re matches often arc not a viable Issue because people Don t want to do them he says meaning one of the iwo teams has everything to lose and nothing to gain the folks in West Virginia Are reportedly subdued presumably because they be been Down this Road before. In 1984, the mountaineers were 7-1 after consecutive victories Over i it Syracuse Boston College and Penn stale. They lost their next three games. Anyway nobody s gelling Hopes up until Penn slate is out of the Way. The mountaineers Are 1-27 in their fast 28 games against the Kittany Lions 1-14 against them at Home. Penn stale May be on the Way to ils first losing season in 50 years but West Virginia will not be lulled into think-1 its game is a Gimme. Quote i Tola him four years ago if he came with me he d win inc Heisman Tro this from Oklahoma coach Barry soil scr who  Troy Aikman to introduce the Forward pass to the big eight conference. So incr never followed through on his Promise and Aikman transferred id Urcla where he has passed the Bruins into a top ranking arid himself into Heisman consideration. All thanks to you Harry. Ara i Parseghian who coached notre Dame during some of ils glory years Al ways was a Lou Holly Man. Even so he says to might have underestimated him. I predicted he d have them in a major bowl in three years he says. In look  there can hardly be a More entertain ing league than the Western athletic con Ference. Of the lop six teams nationally in total offence three Are from the wac Wyoming is lops at 540 Yards a game but Utah is fourth and air Force sixth. Texas Elpaso no Slouch is 15th in the country. The entertaining part is lha none of these learns registers defensively. Imagine a league in which you can score 36 Points and lose As air Force did. Or in which you can score 45 and lose As air Force also did. A league in which you can score 56 and win by Only a touchdown. Air Force did that  All of air Force s option attack shenanigans the two big guns Are Wyoming and Utah a learn that was 1 10 just three years ago. Between them the average 84 Points.
