NOTRE DAME VS. MIAMI
Lupo: A blown two-point
conversion was all that kept the
Hiuricanes from walking away
from South Bend with a victory
over the Irish in 1988, a mistake
that cost Miami a shot at the
national championship.
This year, the two-point
conversion will come into play
only if the Hurricanes decide to
nm up the score. The Hurricanes
possess far too many weapons,
both offensively and defensively
for the Irish to contend; a hard
hitting, relentless defense led by
All America Russell Maryland, a
fine-tuned offense featuring
quarterback Craig Erickscm, and —
a new luxury that the Hurricanes
haven’t always enjoyed — an
established running attack. Irish
quarterback Rick Mirer had better
have some more miracles up his
sleeve, otherwise the Irish's
already slim national
champiosnship hopes will be
crushM.
Regardless of where the
game is played, the Hurricanes
should have no problem repeating
last year’s 27-10 thumping.
Toomer: No. 2 Miami vs
No.5 Notre Dame is always a dog
fight. The mere fact that football
wizard Lou Holtz, had his troops
Out Sunday for practice shows
how badly Lou wants to win. I
^’t say that I blame him due to
fact that the winner of this
game will possibly play Virgina
for the National Championship.
The last two years the home team
has won the game. (Notre Dame
fans this hurts me as much as it
hurts you!) Look for the cycle to
he broken, as the home team will
win this year. Miami's
*efense will cause soph more
Quarterback Rick Mirer serious
P*t)blems and the lethal Hurricane
offense will showcase it's many
Weapons. Look for Miami
quarterback Craig Erickson to
^'^e a good day.
^^i 21, Notre Dame 17.
Fitts: Easily college football's
game of the year. Since this
year's matchup is being played in
South Bend, the outcome could
go either way. Even though
Miami is the stronger team
overall, don't be surprised if this
3ne ends in a tie.
IVORLD SERIES:
CINCINATTI VS. OAKLAND
Lupo: For the third straight
year, the best of the National
League West faces the Oakland
Athletics in the World Series.
And for the second straight year,
Oakland will crush the National
League pennant winner.
Just like the Giants in 1989,
the Reds face a similar problem
in 1990: lack of solid starting
pitching. The Reds don't have a
starter the caliber of the Dodgers'
Orel Hershiser, capable of stifling
the heavy Oakland bats, as
evidenced by the Dodgers’ four
game to one Series victory in
1988. The R^ can talk all they
want about the so-called "Nasty
Boys", but Norm Charlton, Rob
Dibble and Randy Myers will be
of little use when the starters get
blown out early.
If the Reds win one game, it
would be a miracle. For
humanitarian purposes, this one
should be halted after three
games.
Toomer: Jose Canseco, Mark
McGwire, Rickey Henderson,
Willie McGee, Dave Stewart,
Walt Weiss....shall I continue?
These are a few of the many
reasons why Oakland will repeat
as World Scries Champs. Now
I'm fully aware of what happened
on Tuesday night with the Reds
winning the first game.
However, despite the win
"Oakland repeats as World
Champs."
Fitts: If any team in baseball
is capable of dethroning the
defending World Series champion
Oakland A's, it's the Cincinatti
Reds. The Reds possess all the
ingredients to stage a stunning
upset. Look for Cincinatti to
pull out all the stops as they
shock the A's in six games.
