Page 8 The Pendulum Sept. I, 1980 It’s all in the mind...well, almost ••• By DAY IRMITER Training and practice are essential in the develop ment of a winning football team. With help of a seven- man coaching squad, Elon’s Fightin’ Christians should get plenty of that. But the point at issue in whether they’ll improve on last year’s disappointing break-even season will be mental pre paredness. Rebounding from conten tion for the national title in ’78 and returning what was considered an even stronger squad in ’79, last year’s team was expected to breeze through the season. Unfor tunately the breeze turned into an ill wind and the Christians ended the season with a 5-5 record. Head coach Jerry Tolley Mysv “Everybody’s working real hard and looking for ward to our first game against Winston-Salem.” Apparently Elon will have its work cut out as “we haven’t played Winston- Salem in five years and they’ve only had four or five losses in the last few sea sons,” Tolley concludes. Although he concurs with the opinion that games are won and lost on defense, Tolley has high hopes for his offense as well. With depth and versatility in the quar terback position, he expects to rely more heavily on a “veer” offense than on the “I” of previous seasons. For those uniniated to the terms, the I-formation con sists of two backs lined up single file behind the quarter back while the veer consists of two backs behind the quarterback and parallel to the line of scrimmage. Tolley hopes the broader spacing of the veer will allow the most to be made of quarterback John Band- gley’s strong throwing arm. The “I” has not been re moved from the playbook, however, and its stronger running game potential will undoubtedly be used to help returning All-American Bob by Hedrick see if he can capture a fourth 1,000-yard season.

Charjjt'or Visit the backfield and in receive ers, Tolley calls his depth ill both the offensive and de fensive lines only “ade- quate.” Injuries have been light thus far though, and the 95-member squad is ex pected to be at full strength for the season opener. Assisting Coach Tolley in his fourth year as head coach are Macky Carden, infusing double enthusiasm and fundamentals; “hard- nosed” Linwood Ferguson, riding herd on the defensive line; Dwight Dutton, respon sible for the defensive back field; Clayton Johnson, who counts among his credits in the offensive backfield the development of Bobby He drick; John Eder, coaching the receivers; and Don Kelly, rounding things out with the defensive ends and line backers.
