USD Football 1984

1984 USD TORERO OUTLOOK After posting a 5-5 record in his rook ie season, Head Coach Brian Fogarty wi ll be making a few changes in '84. New to the coaching staff are Jeff Weiss (Running Backs) and Jack Duby (Defensive Line). Helping out in student-assistant ro les will be ex-players Phil Spencer (Defensive secondary) and Gary Holley (Offensive Line). Larry Caudil lo has moved from defense to offense while Charley Giangrosso will take charge of the linebackers. Kevin McGarry will continue as the Defensive Coordinator and Brian the Offensive Coordinator. The coaching staff wil l have to replace USD's three most productive offensive players from a year ago and eleven starters altogether. Gone from the Toreros' '83 offensive unit are QB Phil Spencer (895 yards passing), leading rusher Jerome McA lpin (1,018 yards rushing) and top re- ceiver Mike Rish (23 catches for 417 yards and 5 TD's). The four top quarterback prospects in camp were Roger Meyers, Craig lssacson, Eric Miller and Greg Moll. Roger Meyers has the inside track for the starting QB position even though he only threw one pass in '83 as Spencer's back-up. Sophomore Ed McCoy (5-11 , 175), senior Mike Sears (6-2, 175), sophomore Scott Reilly (6- 1, 170) and freshman Mark Trafton (6-1 , 175) are the top prospects for wide receivers with McCoy likely to be Meye rs ' favorite target. Ed gathered in six passes for 69 yards in his freshman year. Freshman Lionel DeMorst (6-2, 192) w ill be pushing junior returner Mitch Greene (6- 1, 198) for the starting tightend spot. Returnees for the running back spots are small but talented. Juniors Mark Covarrubias (5-5, 165) and Tom Woodward (5-9, 180) will vye for the tailback position while sen iors Len Savallo (5-8, 175) and Rick Butler (5-11 , 195) push each other for the starting fullback spot. Two tran sfers will also see action, Craig Frye (6 -1 , 185) from Menlo College and Mike Speltz (5 -9, 170) from Harbor College. The offensive line wi ll be anchored by senior Steve Connolly (6-2, 240). Steve should start at right tackle after missing the last year and a half with torn ligaments in his right knee. Junior Dante Sorianello (6-0, 220) should get a starting position while Community College transfers Dave Smola (Southwestern) will play center or tackle and John Savage (Riverside City) wi ll play center or guard. Leading th e defensive attack will be senior strong safety Greg Stein (5-10, 180), who finished second to Chip Jarvis with 81 tackles last season. In 1982, Greg was named USD's Defensive Player of the Year as a sophomore. Assistant Coach Kevin McGarry lost most of his secondary to gradua- tion, however, sophomore Roger Cloutier should pin down a starting position at cornerback. The li nebacker corps looks strong wit h senior John Harper (6-0, 195) and sophomore Gene Gutierrez (5- 10, 190) as possible outside linebackers. Senior George Hawley (64 tackles) and juniors Pete McMahon (6-0, 190) and Mike Hamilton (6-0, 195) wi ll play inside. On the defensive line, Joe Kinnally (5- 10, 190) returns for his senior season at nose guard and junior Brian Laliberte (5-9, 210) will play tackle. Senior Jerry Glassmaker (5-8, 180) and sophomore Mike Catania (5-10, 185) should also see action on the line. Junior Jack Kratochvil will handle the kicking chores after successfully taking over in mid-season while Pat McNamara and Greg Wilson will compete for the punting duties. The Toreros schedu le will be demanding with games against three Division II schools (Chico State, Cal Lutheran and St. Mary's) and a home-and- home series with Azusa Pacific University (NAIA Divisi on II). " It should be an interesting year because of our youth. We'll definitely need a few key people to come through for us. This year's schedule will allow us to get a little breather inbetween our Division II opponents whereas last year's schedule ended with four straight Division II opponents. If we play we ll we should go at least 5-5. I wouldn 't say that is our goal because I shoot for higher goals than that. I will say that I'll be disappointed if we go anything less," stated Head Coach Brian Fogarty.
