But inexperienced on defense
Houston Cougars big on offense for 1975
The Houston Cougars plan to be
offensive this season. That’s not un
usual for the Coogs as they have
owned one of the nation’s most exp
losive offenses over the past decade.
But on defense it’s a different
story for the red-clad Houston
team. In the past, the Cougars have
always had a tough defense to com
plement their deadly offense.
Things don’t look that way for 1975.
Houston lost stellar end Mack
Mitchell, Larry Keller, Harold
Evans and Bubba Broussard. Ex
perience will be limited for the
Coogs on defense this season.
Coach Bill Yeoman plans to pick
the silver lining out of his dark cloud
and rely on the offense. And what a
silver lining he has.
Wood, pro
football’s 1st
black coach
Former Green Bay Packer All-
Pro cornerback Willie Wood be
came the first black head coach in
modem pro football when he was
hired by the Philadelphia Bell of the
World Football League.
Realizing that his new job would
draw attention, Wood said he’d
rather people discuss his won-lost
record than the color of his skin.
The four-time all-pro led the
NFL in interceptions in 1962 and
stole 48 passes in his career, raturn-
ing two for touchdowns.
In the UH spring game the of
fense chewed up 700 yards of turf.
And their size and talent indicates
that they have the ability to equal
such feats this season if not checked.
On the front wall the Cougars
have guards Val Belcher (6-3, 240)
and Everett Little (6-5, 275). The
tackles are David Brooks (6-5, 275)
and Kevin Rollage the midget of the
group at 240. At the extremes of the
line are tight end Don Bass (6-2,
210) and split end is being contested
for by Eddie Foster and Roosevelt
Harden.
The real claw of the Cougar
comes forth in the backfield. Don
nie “Quick Draw McGraw heads
up the Houston pigskin carriers, re
turning for his final season at run
ning back. McGraw has been one of
the main bullets in the Cougar’s gun
during his career. Fullback John
Housman (6-3, 200) gained 900
yards last season after missing the
first four games of the season and
will return to try to better his mark.
Bubba McGallion, who came off
the bench to take charge of the
Coogs last season, will return at
quarterback. The Houston signal
caller led his team to seven straight
wins in the middle of the 1974 sea
son. McGallion picked up 362
yards, scoring six times on the
run-minded Cougar veer offense.
The offense is set, but Yeoman
said he hopes the talent on the de
fensive unit will compensate for the
inexperience.
The interior of the front wall is
solid, with lettermen Wilson Whit-
let (6-3, 265) and Lee Canalito (6-4,
265) anchoring the trenches at the
tackles. The flanks show a different
look, with both starting ends from
1974 being absent. But Ross Echols
(6-3, 245) and Guy Brown (6-4, 245)
will step in as replacements.
Both outside linebackers also
were lost in graduation, leaving the
edges of the Houston defense void
of proven experience. Two sopho
mores will handle the outside posts
for next season. They are Willis Wil
liams and Reid Hansen. Returning
at middle linebacker will be veteran
Paul Humphreys.
Another sophomore, Anthony
F rancis, will join lettermen Joe Rust
and Gary Drake to make up one of
the swiftest defensive backfields in
the nation. Rust, who runs the 40-
yard dash in 4.5, led the secondary
in tackles last season. Defensive
coach Clarence Daniels calls Rust
the best safety he’s ever seen.
Houston has unlimited potential
on offense coupled with size and ta
lent. But the defense lacks experi
ence, though the size and some ta
lent is there. If the defense can de
velop quickly the Coogs can get
ready to sit back and enjoy another
successful season.
The Cougars will enter the
Southwest Conference race in 1976.
