Coach Gene Stallings’s team, by all rights, should be headed to a much deserved victory against a team that has not fared so well this season, owning a 1-2 record thus far—identical to the Aggies’ tally. Stallings’ man in the hole for the Aggies for this game will be quarterback Mark Green, replace ment for Lex James, who is out with a dislocated thumb. Green will find himself going against one of the best quarter backs in the country, Albert John son (296), who will direct the offense for the third straight year. In 1970, Johnson was able to carry the ball across the line of scrimmage for 895 yards to earn himself the number one rushing spot in the country among major college QB’s. So far this year, Johnson has earned himself 228 yards on 53 attempts for a 4.3 average and three touchdowns. His favorite men for option pitches include two tailbacks who have been able to move the ball 300 yards on 62 attempts in Cin cinnati’s first three games. Tailback Mel Riggins, a senior from Charleston, N.C., has been his favorite option runner. Weighing in at only 170 pounds, Riggins has carried 33 times for a 5.3 average per attempt. His teammate, Dick James, who stands 6-2 at 197 pounds, is not far behind him. James has carried the ball 29 times for 130 yards or a 4.5 average. In the passing department, Cin cinnati is basically weak. John son has thrown the ball only 29 times in three games for 10 com pletions and no touchdowns. On the line for the Bearcats in Cincinnati’s pro I and split at tack, some positions are strong, while others are comparatively weak. The most impressive of the front line destroyers is senior tackle Ken Weingart (227), a two year letterman for the Bear cats. It will be in Weingart’s hands to steady the offensive line that has the potential to be first- rate. Joining him on the line will be hefty Tom Forrest (245), a soph omore from Washington, D. C., and veteran John Mack (221), an other player from Washington, who plays at the offensive guard and center positions. Dale Koch (250) should be at the other guard position, while it looks as if junior Craig Smith (238) will be filling the center spot in this game. One weak spot for Cincinnati is at one tackle spot where Steve Collett (230) has been a physical question for Cincy and inexperi enced Dave Lewis may be step ping in for him. Some high-caliber defenders, steeped in experience, can still be found in Cincinnati’s split 4 de fense, even though it will be miss ing the talents of All-American Bob Tell and three of the four top linebackers of the 1970 squad. And there won’t be any exception al size in the ranks on the de fensive side, either. End Randy McBride (202) and tackle Ron Bryant (206), both starters in 1970, plus tackle Craig Heneveld, will be heading up the line with their senior know-how. In the safety spot, junior Billy Hunter (179) is a gifted safety man, who was a standout in the secondary as a sophomore. To date for the season, Hunter has returned seven kicks for 47 yards and an average of 6.27. Seniors Ron Ertle (187), and Butch Alberts (200) are two other dependables for the defense, fill ing holes at the linebacker and comer positions. In the kicking department, jun ior Clem Fennell will be the main stay for the Bearcats as they have gotten 588 yards in 15 punts. In summary, Cincinnati looks impressive and strong. However, with the loss of four men from the defense, the Bearcats have had to fill the holes with letter- men that are somewhat less ex perienced than the offense.
