Thus Southern Cal is without an experienced quarterback this year. But coach Larry Smith has Confidence his team will be just Fine at the position. Rodney pc Etc was a great player a Leader Smith said. We Are fortunate we have some outstanding seniors Back. We have experience at almost every Posi Tion especially on defense. I feel Good about our quarterback position. I m not that Wom cd about it now. My main concern is not the quarterbacks but to make sure we get the whole team playing team the starting quarterback figures to be either Pato Hara. A fourth year Junior who completed 5 of 7 passes for 61 Yards with one interception last season or Redshirt freshman Todd Marinovich. O Hara came out of Spring practice As the first Stringer. Pat o Hara knows the offence he had an excellent Spring for us Smith said. If we had to play Tomor Row the starter would be o Hara. Marinovich progressed very Well in the Spring.

I Smith who la be after his third Pacific-10 Confer ence championship in three seasons at Southern Cal said the trojans offensive scheme won t change from the past two years despite the absence of Pete. Establish the run first again that s going to be our no. I objective Smith said. We have a Chanceton have our Best running game since i came Here. We have our top five rushers from last year Back. I would like to throw the Ball As much As we did last year. 1 think the key to our offence last year was balance. Maybe Well throw the Ball More. The key is the quarterbacks. If they show us they re consistent and can throw for a High percentage Well throw. I still go Back to the key to our offence is balance 200 Yards plus in each area would be a Aaron Emanuel and Leroy Holt figure to Start at tailback and fullback respectively. Among other re turning running backs arc Scott Lockwood and Ricky Ervins. Who were part Lime starters last season. Emanuel and Holt Are two of Southern Cal s 18 returning starters eight on offence and 10 on de sense.
