Bellard wary of lllini
Ul is better than most think
By DAVID WALKER
Battalion Sports Writer
When a coach meets the press he
usually tells them how tough the
upcoming opponent is, whether
they are or not.
This was the case yesterday as
Emory Bellard met the press in his
weekly press conference, but this
time he had some convincing num
bers to back up his praise for the
next Aggie foe, Illinois.
“Missouri was the number two
defensive team in the nation last
week and Illinois had 411 yards total
offense against them, Bellard said.
“You just have to be impressed
with Illinois, Bellard added.
“They ve got a very strong offensive
line, a fine fullback and two good
cjuarterbacks. They have eight re
turning starters from last year's of
fense.
The offense isn t the only part of
the Illinois attack that Bellard is
worried about. “They have a great
kicking game. Our scout put a stop
watch on their punter and every one
of his punts had a hang time of four
seconds or better. Their punter is
one of the premier punters in the
nation.
“Defensively they contained
Missouri until close to the end of the
game and then only some great run
ning plays In Missouri got to them,
Bellard said.
The Aggie boss pointed out that
the Fighting lllini were picked as
one of the top teams in the Big 10
and that last year s 6-4-1 record was
deceiving. “They lost three games
in the last minute of play and could
have easih been 9-2, he said.
Bellard said that Illinois ran from
the I with “a thousand different
formations.
As for the lllini defense the Aggie
coach showed some concern. “We 11

The biggest loser in the rankings,
however, was Michigan. The Wol

be looking at a defense that we ha
ven’t seen in some time and proba
bly won’t see again this year. Thev
come at you with an eight man front
with three men deep,’ he said.
“They stunt a lot and they are good
at it. We re going to have to make
some radical blocking changes for
this one.
All discussion was not about Il
linois. As figured, ULSU was a main
topic.
“I don t think anything we did at
LSU hurt us in the polls, Bellard
said. "Our players worked hard for
LSU and they played hard against
them. LSU has a fine football team.
“I thought we would play good
but I had no idea that the score
would end up the wav it did, ” Bel
lard said.
Bellard had praise for everyone
on the Aggie team. “Our backs did
an excellent job of blocking at the
corners,’ he said.
“I thought Tony Blankenship and
Mike Williams did a good job filling
in for Pat Thomas, they had some
big shoes to fill and did a real solid
job.
“The entire defense did a great
job. I thought our defensive line of
Tank Marshall, Jimmy Dean, Edgar
Fields and Blake Schwarz com
pletely controlled the line, Bellard
said.
The Aggie kicking game had some
more trouble in the LSU game but
Bellard isn’t too worried. “On the
missed extra point we had a lot of
young players out there and when
there is a lot of pressure like that
there is a tendency to kick away
from them, he said. “On the
blocked punt we also had some
young players in the game and they
just blew some assignments. We
work hard all the time on the kicking
game and we 11 work hard on it again
this week.
In the injury department the Ag
gies are hav ing good luck so far.
Mark Stanley missed most of last
week with a pulled ham-string hut
he will be ready for Saturdav. Craig
Glendenning is slowed by a bruised
back and Pat Thomas is still trying to
get over his bad ankle, he is much
improved but not yet full speed.
Athletic department officials are
expecting a full house Saturdav foi
the 12:50 p.m. kickoff. The game
will he regionally telev ised by ABC.
