Gab Worries Aztecs

Statistics show the Western- ers ran 68 plays to the Az· tees' 36. "San Dirgo State was the toughest team we've played to date," Lewis added. "Th e y were physically stronger and well balanced. \ We'd like to get on their schedule again next year we've shown improve- ~-e~l and should be a bet- ter ball club next year." Maj. Scotty Harris summed up :Marine Corps Recruit Depot's 21-15 loss to Pensacola in the Leather• neck Bowl game. "We fumbled nine times and lost the ball four times. You can't do that and v.in," Harris explained. "T h e Y found a weakness in o u r secondary defense and hit us with the swing pass and rollouts. We played well in the first and last quarters." Commenting on the S a n Diego Chargers' narrow 19· 16 squrak over Drnver's Broncos. coach Sid Gillman said, ··1 was delighted we could play so poorly and still win ...

USD beat Pepperdine, 13-0, and lost to Long Beach State, 14-12, while the Aztecs whipped Pepperdine, 21-6, and Jost to Long Beach by a two-point margin also, 1,- 15. "We look upon USO as the toughest game of our whole season," Coryell told the Quarterbacks. "T h e i r the best we've played against." And that included the big Fres- no State line which finally wore the Aztecs down. Pecarm·ich expres~ed con- cern over the pass-catch- ing prowess of Aztec end Neal Petties. "We'll have to double up. or three-time him," ~aid Pecarov1ch, whose Toreros suffer<'d a 41-2 loss to Cal Poly of Po- mona last week.
