Zampe e describes him elf in the same term . "I lack size and speed. but I make up for 1t with bands, the experience of knowing where to be and scrappine ·• he said. "I'll play hard until the er.d." Zampe e has caught just one other pa th1 ea on - a 35-yarder agamst Redlands - but his low re- ception total is due in part to the Torero ' n w option offen e, which emphasize· the run (217 attempts) ov r the pass (54 attempts). " o t r v rs want their team to throw the b l," said Zampese. "I don't care a· long as we're shoving th hall down their (the opponents') throats." Zampese graduated from Univer- sity of San Otego High m 1984, where he played football for three ye rs under Coach Dan Ritter. 'Kenny' a real quiet guy, but he was always ry mature," said Ritter, now 111 his econd year as de- f n 1ve line coach at Indiana State University. "It med to me that he wa fully developed when he was a ophomore. He had a great knowl- that precocity soon after Zampese began attending U D. "He's an unu ual kid," said Fogar- ty. "Even when be was a fre hman, he could come mto this office and feel comfortable talkmg football with the coaches. Mo t kid aren't like that, but most kids haven't had on of the best coaches in the country sitting m th 1r hvmg room every night." Zampese is receptive to the inevi- table comparisons with his father, who is in his first year as offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles dg of the gamt." Fogarty noticed

Ken Zampese (right), a son of former Chargers assistant Ernie Zampese, isn't big or fast, but he's valuable to USD.

Rams. The elder Zampese was voted the Southern California player of the year as a running back for Santa Barbara High in 1953 and played tail- back at USC in 1955 and 1956. "The difference between us is that I know I'm not going anywhere as a player," said the younger Zampese. "He had a real shot It's too bad he was stuck behind Jon Arnett (USC's starling tailback from 1954 through '56). "I'd like to be exactly like him if possible. The level of respect he's achieved is amazing. I've seen him at

clinics. He commands respect be- cause of who be is and what he's done, not because he's a big, media- type guy. It's respect earned through knowledge, which is more impres- sive than respect earned through being a big name or a big mouth." The elder Zampese's move to Los Angeles has been trying for his son, who has grown accustomed to conti- nuity after attending high school and college on the same hill and Ii ving in the same Del Cerro home for all but one month of his 20-year existence. "We've been very lucky," said

Zarnpese. "We haven't moved around like a lot of football families. My dad has high goals, but he hasn't sacri- ficed family life for them. It's hard not seeing him." • • • Sophomore tailback John Arens (neck) is doubtful and leading rusher Todd Jackson (left ankle) is question- able for tonight's game. If Jackson can't play, freshman Ty Barksdale (67 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries) will start in the backfield with sophomore fullback Scott Slykas (125 yards and one touchdown

on 24 carries). Starting tackle Pete Browne (bruised shoulder) is also questionable. Azusa Pacific, 5-2-2 in 1986, was forced to forfeit all its games be- cause it used an ineligible player. The Cougars have several local prod- ucts on their roster, including strong safety Larry Coffey (Monte Vista) and linebacker Mark Nichols (San Marcos). Starting tailback Frank White (Mount Miguel,, w o rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown on 29 carries in a 24-14 loss to Humboldt State, is out with an injured toe;,..-1 /.

downs and three tou:hdowns. On offense, USD tould only man- age 113 yards rushin, (well below its season average of 19i yards) against a big defensive line. ''They were problbly the most physical team we1e played this year," said USO coad! Brian Fogar- ty, whose team is 3-I~. Two second-half touchdowm by Azusa Pacific tailbatk Marvin Walk- er. a product of El Centro's Central High, provided the rrargin of victory for the Cougars (2-3 who defeated

USD for the seventh consecutive time. Walker's first touchdown, a 6-yard run off.tackle, helped the Cougars to a 17-12 lead with 42 seconds remain- ing in the third quarter after kicker Ken Arlt's extra point. His run capped a 10-play, 4½-minute drive that began on Azusa's 34-yard line. Walker's second touchdown was set up by Tim Brown's recovery of quarterback Brendan Murphy's fum- ble at the Toreros' 29. A pass interference call against

strong safety John Gutsmiedl on the Cougars' second play gave the Cougars a first-down on the 15. Four plays later, Walker, who had 47 yard, on 11 carries, scored on a 3-yard run. Arlt missed the extra point to keep the score at 23-12 with 11:25 left in the fourth quarter. Azusa Pacific ended the USD de- fense's unscored-upon streak at 12 quarters, as Arlt kicked a 37-yard field goal with 1:19 to go in the first q11arter to give the Cougars a 3-0 lead. The field goal was set up by a

short, 23-yard punt by USD's John Gillis that gave the Cougars posses- sion at USD's 41. Azusa Pacific improved its lead early in the second quarter, capital- izmg on a 47-yard punt return by Ray Jones that gave the Cougars the ball at USD's 25. Three plays later, Cougars tight end Rick Reddaway sneaked behind safety Bryan Day after an excellent play-action fake by quarterback Richard Jimenez and caught Jimenez's 14-yard pass for a touch-

down. Arlt's extra point made Ui score 10-0 with 11:41 to play in half. USD quarterback Braulio Castil started the game, but after failing to complete a pass in four attempts, freshman Murphy replaced him after Reddaway's touchdown. The move paid off as Murphy scrambled to his right and hit fresh- man wide receiver Ken Jones for a 38-yard touchdown with 7:26 left ih the half.
