LITTLE ROCK — For Baylor, it’s
the things the Bears aren’t doing that
have helped them turn a 3-8 season
last year into a 6-2 record this year
and a 16th national ranking.
They lost 28 fumbles en route to
last year’s disappointing season, in
cluding five against Arkansas that
helped the Razorbacks to a 27-14 vic
tory. This year, the Bears have lost
only seven fumbles so far.
“A high portion of fumbles is just
mental,’’ Baylor coach Grant Teaff
said Wednesday over a telephone
news conference. “One thing we try
to do is stress the importance of not
turning the ball over. We work hard
on techniques but it’s still a mental
thing.”
The Bears did not play last week
and Teaff said the open date could
not have anything but a positive
effect.
“We had some people physically
beat up and mentally tired and it has
had a positive effect,” he said. “We
gave the players some rest, came
back and worked some younger play
ers and then this week concentrated
on our game plan. We got some peo
ple healed up.”
Baylor started the season with
Mickey Elam at quarterback but has
switched to redshirt freshman Mike
Brannan. Teaff said the 6-2 174-
pounder has “performed hot and

cold this year” and “lacks experience
but has poise and runs a little better
than people might think.”
He said Elam would play in the
Arkansas game but “we do not have a
‘tandem quarterback situation. We
don’t have a set pattern on how we’ll
play them.”
Teaff said because of the turnovers
and losing some of their games in the
fourth quarter last year, it became a
psychological thing, but “this year
we’re a totally different ball club
psychologically. This team has been
underdogs and has come back to win
in the fourth quarter, and that has a
lot to do with how you end up the
year.”
He said the Razorbacks have a lot
of talented people and pointed out
that he had said in the pre-season
that if Arkansas quarterback Kevin
Scanlon came through, the Razor-
backs could be good again this year.
“It looks like they are better than a
year ago,” Teaff said.
“When you have good, strong
athletes committed to a program,
you can have a good football team,”
he said. “I think Lou (Holtz) and his
staff are equal to any in the nation.
You can’t take the young people
they’re playing with and win like
they’ve won unless they are ex
tremely well coached. Add that to
their great tradition and you’re going
to have good football and your’re
going to have it every year.”
The Baylor defense has not given
up a touchdown in the last 10 quar
ters and Holtz said over the tele
phone there was a reason for that.
“I feel the thing that makes the
Baylor defense so good is they’ve got
good players playing over your
guards, a good middle linebacker
and they have good speed,” he said.
“They have fine athletes in the
secondary. They’ll give anybody
problems. ”
However, Holtz said he believed
the Razorbacks will move the ball.
“I’m not concerned at all about us
being able to move the football if we
execute,” he said.
Then he went over the list of his
players who are injured.
“When you’re going to war, and
that is what this is going to be, you
aren’t always going to be healthy, not
always going to have all your troops
there, and after going through nine
battles, you’re not going to be as
plentiful as you are at the beginning
of the war.”
The Southwest Conference has
four teams in the top 20 this week
but Holtz said there should be more.
“I think our conference is under
rated,” he said. “More teams belong
in the rankings. Week in and week
out, it’s a struggle.”

Chicago’s Sutte\
wins Cy Young
United Press International
NEW YORK — Bruce Sutter, the
Chicago Cubs’ relief ace who re
corded 37 saves to lead the major
leagues, Wednesday was named
winner of the National League’s Cy
Young Award.
The 26-year-old Sutter, who had a
2.23 ERA to go along with a 6-6 re
cord, won a close decision as the
NL’s best pitcher in the balloting of
24 members — two from each city —
of the Baseball Writers Association
of America. Sutter received 10 first-
place votes and 72 points to outdis
tance right-hander Joe Niekro of the
Houston Astros. Niekro had 66
points and nine first-place votes.
J.R. Richard of Houston was third
with 41 points, Tom Seaver of Cin
cinnati was fourth with 20 points,
and reliever Kent Tekulve of Pitt
sburgh was fifth with 14 points. Phil
Niekro of Atlanta received three
points.
Sutter’s 37 saves tied the NL re
cord held by Cincinnati’s Clay Car-
roll in 1972 and San Diego’s Rollie
Fingers in 1978. John Hiller of De
troit holds the major-league record
of 38 set in 1973.
The right-hander is the second re
lief pitcher to win the Cy Young
Award in the NL. Mike Marshall of
Los Angeles won it in 1974. In the
American League, Sparky Lyle of
New York took the honor in 1977.

man, and worked effectively with
