SA. DIEGO-Brian Fogarty, the USD football coach, thought his team·~ have at least a 5.5 record m 1984. This year he says be would be "real disappointed" with 5-5. Then again, he was real disap- pointed last year. Before a down was played last year, 20 Toreros, including many of the team·s better players, were cut from the roster because of academ- ic deficiencies. That left USO with three seniors, and the team used freshmen and sophomores almost exclusively, Re ult: The Toreros, who aver- aged more than five turnovers per game. were 1-8-1 last year. It was their worst showing since 1976's 1- 7 -1 fimsh. USD's win was against UC Santa Barbara, a club team. "l didn't expect it to be as bad as it ended up," said Fogarty, who is in his third year as USD's coach. Although Fogarty says this

sophomore from St. Augustine High and Mesa College, will be the starting quarterback. DllCon didn't play a down last year, but that doe n't seem to bother Fogarty. He throws the ball better than the quarterbacks we had last year," Fogarty said. He can run when he On defense, the Toreros are led by semor inside linebacker Mike Hamilton. The Mt. Carmel graduate led USD m tackles, was tied for the team lead in interceptions and was named the Toreros' co-Defensive Player of the Year. Strong safety Greg Stein shared the award with Although he once agam has an inexperienced team, FogarlJ, hopes to get the Job done this year 'The nice part is I don't have anyone telling me, 'If you don't win, you're gone.' We can take our time and build the team without worrying about our jobs." Hamilton. has to."

"Mark has good form and he's a quick, outstanding runner, but he's not very big," Fogarty said. 'Tm not sure he can carry the ball as much as we want our tailback to." That's usually between 20 and 25 times a game. Fogarty plan to use University High School graduate Virgil Enriquez and sophomore Matt Riley to supplement Covarru- bias' efforts at tailback. Senior Tom Woodward (101 yards last season) will be the starling fullback. Lionel DeMorst and Mike Sears, with 11 and 7 catches respectively last year, are USD's top returning receivers. Mitch Greene will play tight end Fogarty is particularly high on DeMorst, a Kearny gradu- "He's one of the biggest players we've ever had here," Fogarty said. "He runs the 40 in 4.7, has great hands and he can block. And he's just a sophomore. Lionel's not there yet, but he's going to be an ate

we want to be."

The Toreros, a Division 3 mde- pendent, have 16 starters return- mg, but also have 50 players who are either freshmen or sophomores. Inexperi.ence could be a problem, and the absence of three players expected to fill key roles in 1985 could emphasize the weakness.
