Sentinel . Wednesday, September 1S, 1982 B3 iams considers a real prospect in Bill Thomas. "He is the best inside linebacker we've ever had," said Williams. "He's quick, intelligent and aggressive." Junior John Noonan will join Thomas. On the outside two-year starter Tracy Davis leads a young contingent. Junior Ray Stuberg and John Trusko round out the group. "Our secondary really likes to hit people," said Williams. "They like to light them up and against Redlands they did that." The "hitters" in the defensive backfield are Tony Johnson, a transfer from Mesa College who inter- cepted a pass Saturday, and Jerry Schmit, a trans· fer from Santa Ana JC. "Jerry is poter.tially as good a corner as we've had at USD,'' said Williams. The strong safety is Greg Stein, whom Williams thinks is going to be a standout. Another JC trans· fer, Chip Jarvis from Saddleback, rounds out the secondary. The kicking game is set as Bobby Lozzi, a sopho- more who booted a 41-yard field goal against Red· lands, returns.

guard spot is Craig Beaver (6-foot, 205) who has been a starter for 2 ½ seasons. At center Williams can choose between juniors Steve Ast (6-footl, 125) and Gary Holley, a two-year starter who weighs in at 220. The tackles round out a group Williams considers "the number one strength on the club." In this group is returning starter John Amarillas (6-fooH, 255), a two year starter, and one-year starter Jeff Whitey. Sophomore Steve Connolly (6-foot-2, 235) will also see action. On defense, the Toreros feature a good-sized line in addition to some returning secondary per· formers. On the line are returnees Fitzhugh Dinkins and Marvin Castillo. "Lance bas been a very pleasant surprise," said Williams about the 6-foot-2, 220-pound sophomore. At inside linebacker, the Toreros have what Will-

from a year ago back Senior Eric Sweet should see most of the action. Last season Sweet threw for 1,200 yards as a five-game starter. Joining Sweet in the backfield will be running backs Bill Hamilton and Mike Corradi. "Bill has excellent speed," sald Williams. Against Redlands the 6-foot, 180-pounder rushed for 60 yards in 11 car- nes. At the fullback spot will be returnee Jerome McAlpin, whom Williams s · possesses good speed, and is an excellent blocker as well. Also sla· ted to see action is senior Jim Smith.

Against Redlands, the Toreros gained 273 yards on the ground compared to 81 through the air, but Williams ,oesn't figure that will happen every week, · ''We're going to do what we have to do to win gam~." he said.
