UNC's non-conference matdiups not made in heaven
By FRANK KENNEDY
Assistant Sports Editor
When Tar Heel fans pack Kenan Stadium
the next three weekends, they won't be coming
to see matchups made in heaven. Nor will they
be there to see a close, down-to-the-wire thril
ler. Fact is, the opposition on those weekends
just won't be that strong.
To make matters apparently worse, these
three opponents are non-conference foes, and
the final scores can do nothing toward earning
an ACC championship. No matter, for here is
a look at the year's remaining nonconference
opposition for North Carolina.
MEMPHIS STATE
Who can figure this team? The Tigers have
had one big problem the past few years: they
can't seem to win football games.
In 1982, coach Rex Dockery's squad won
only one of 1 1 games, and scored more than
10 points on only one occasion. To top that
off, Dockery's best seven running backs to
this less-than-dynamic attack all graduated.
Moreover, several starters sustained knee in
juries earlier this year and some missed spring
practice.
Yet, this team entering November 1982 with
the nation's longest loosing streak (26), has
won two straight games. The Tigers defeated
Arkansas State 12-0 in the 1982 finale, and last
week ran all over Mississippi, 37-17.
This was supposed to be a team with zero
offense and not too much hope on defense.
So, when the Tigers come into Chapel Hill
Saturday, don't be surprised at anything that
happens.
MIAMI (OHIO)
Expect a tougher effort from the Redskins
under new coach Tim Rose. Last year, the
Redskins were 7-4 and are returning 39 let-

termen to the roster in 1983.
Now, Rose definitely has some tough shoes
to fill. After all, Miami has been called the
cradle of great coaches. Dick Cram and N,C
State's Tom Reed are two of the most recent
Miami mentors.
The pre-season picks to win the Mid
American Conference, the Redskins return
two of the MAC's better players, tailback Jay
Peterson and nose guard Brian Pillman. Peter
son rushed for 1,157 yards and eight touch
downs in '82, and caught 21 passes for 172
yards.
Pillman, meanwhile, was a terror on de
fense, making 72 tackles, 25 of which resulted
in minus 119 yards for the opposition.
Quarterback John Appold is fairly profi
cient, hitting on 54 percent of his pass at
tempts. WILLIAM & MARY
The Indians will be going to the air this
year, and appear to be a good bet to top last
year's dismal 3-8 season. Coach Jimmye Lay
cock has 16 starters coming back to an outfit
that was able to put points on the board but
couldn't help but give up a lot more to the Op
position. Among the 10 offensive returners is quarter
back Stan Yagiello, the best QB in the state of
Virginia last year. Yagiello hit 57,6 percent
(166 of 288) of his passes, and averaged nearly
200 yards per game through the air. Of course,
in all fairness to Yagiello, he didn't exactly do
that against powerhouse teams.
The rushing game appears to be a problem,
averaging only 89.5 yards per outing last fall.
Returning in the backfield are junior Dave
Scanlon and senior Bernie Marrazzo, both of
whom are earning the praises of the Indian
coaches. The entire offensive front remains
firmly intact, and that should at least help bol
ster the pre-game rushing numbers.
