Guided expertly by I-forma- tion quarterbacks Wayne Sev- ier and Larry Korsmeier, the AztPcs moved almost at will despite some formidable USD line play sparked by lineback- er J im O'Leary. The Aztecs punted only once. Mendez, formr,r junior col- lege All-American from Cer- ritos, gained 152 yar ds in 20 rushing plays and 21 yards after catching two passrs.
