Putting lome blta In
the Bulldogi’ bark will
determine how much
Oardner-Webb can im
prove upcn last aeaeon’e
B4M) record and flfth-
Iriace flnleh In the South
Atlantic Conference
(BAC-8).
Offensively, the
Bulldogs made a lot of
noise In ’7ri, averaging
80 points and 410 yards
per game. Defensively,
Uie etatletlcs favored
the oppoeltlon. with
Oardner-Webb yielding
nearly 38 potnte and 88
yards. The reeuite were
exdtlng, but not always
eattefylng.
“Obvlouily defense is
where we have got to
Improve '.he most,”
■tates O-W head coach
Oval Jaynes. “We’ve
spent a lot of time
evaluating pertonnal
and making adjust-
mente.’’
Overall, Oardner-
Webb has the etee, ex
perience and talent to
become a definite SAO-8
contender. In fact, a
pre-season vote by
league coaches put the
BuUdogt a close eecond
to defending champion
Elen. With the exception
of freshman linebacker
Alvtn Sperki, all of the
O-W etarters are letter-
"We have good
quality In our atartera,
and we should be much
■tronger physically be
cause of our off-season
weight program and the
fact we’re a couple
years older,’’ Jaynes
says. "But the secret
will be staying healthy.
Depth... could. ..be. .A
problem,’' he admits.
"Much of our depth will
come from freshmen
and transfers, and It’e
hard to count on them
early In the season."
Oardner-Webb’• big
phis is the quarterback
duo of Dannie StlUey
and Olenn Robertson, a
pair of juniors who
totaled 1,000 each
during 1978. StUley, the
better runner, rushed
tor44B yards and passed
tor 664 more tor 1,106
yards. Robertson netted
only 18 yards rushing
but completed 88 of 117
passes for 1,006 yards
and five TDs.
Halfbacks toi the veer
offense are seniors
Johnny Walker and Po
Rogers and junior Obbla
Todd. Walker, twice
voted the team’s most
outstanding back,
gained 738 yards and
scored nine times last
year. Todd picked up 868
yards in B8 carries, a 7.0
average, and Rogara
gained 813 yards In five
games before moving to
free safety for the
balance of the season.
The wide recslvar
slots are two-dasp with
Blvln Wsbbar and O. T.
Johnson at and and
Mark Momingstar and
Marc Walkar at flanker.
Stac of Momlngstar’s 18
recaptions were for
touchdowns, while
Webber made 3 catches
tor 487 yards and three
TDa. Marvin Oliver, a
defensive end last year,
la the llksty starter at
tight and.
Heading the offensive
line are a pair of all-
conference juniors,
guard Jeff Carter and
tackle Mark Claaaan.
Senior Jim Furlough,
the itrongaat player on
the team, will be at right
guard, and either Phil
Wrtght or Bob BasTies
will start at left tackle.
Richard Mack Is the
Incumbent at center.
Defensively, the ends
will be seniors Monte
Walker and Jeff Keena,
both Injured In ’78 —
Keene for the season
and Walker for the final
she games. Walker was
an All SAC-8 pick as a
aophomore. Making up
the Interior will be
Frankie Smith and
Denle Thurman at
tacklea and Noel Wise
man at middle guard.
Back up will come from
Oeno Walden, John
Knight, PhU Wright,
David Outhrle and Roby
Kilby, all lettermen.
Mark Briggs, another
all-conference player,
returns at UneteAer.
He will be joined by
Alvin Sparks, a 6-3, 330-
pounder who played at
Foik Unlcn Academy
last year. Behind them
are lettermen Aubrey
Oowane and David
Howard.
In the secendary, tha
strong safety will be
■enlor BUI Salyers, the
team’s most out-
■tendlng defensive back
last year. Junior Alvin
Lee Is aet at free eafety.
One comer slot la filled
by Chris Johnson, who
made five Interceptione
and ALL-SAC-18 last
year as a freshman.
Lettermen Don Mon
tgomery and Mike
Barla wlU wage a battle
tor the other comer
position.
