Davis said the Tigers are a disci plined ball club on offense, but if the fast break is there, they will take it. The Tigers, who won the NAIA Na tional Championship in 1977, are coached by Robert Moreland who had his worst season ever last year with a 9-17 record. But better things are expected for the Tigers this year as all five starters a back. Joining Kelly and Crawford in the starting unit are 6’8 forward Michael Anderson, 510 guard Ken neth Hillard and 6’9 center Patrick Johnson. Moreland has some height off the bench in the form of seven-footer Ronnie Cavena, a senior out of Beaumont. The Tigers are quick and could present some problems for the tall and talented Aggies in the form of a full-court press. “We’re going to have to face it sooner or later,” Metcalf said of the TSU full-court press. “We’re going to start with a one guard, four big man offense. After that we’ll bring in Reggie off the bench.” The fans will be in for a treat as SWC defensive player of the year, Rynn Wright, matches up with “Machine Gun” Kelly in the man-to man defense. Begining tonight and throughout the season, KTAM will announce ticket information concerning the student line. Starting an hour and half before each home game, KTAM will update the line status every 15 minutes until game time. THAT FI&TFIGMT ON THE 'PRO RXlfgAU- VPtm' -S140W BOOGTeP TUE ROTlMG TWO POINTS.

Rogers, who finished seventh in the Heisman voting last year, is the eighth straight running back to win the award. A 6-foot-2, 220-pounder, Rogers rushed for 1,781 yards in 11 games this season — an average of 161.9 per game — and scored 14 touchdowns. He finished his NCAA record with 4,958 yards rushing, good for fourth place on the NCAA’s alltime list. His total trails only Cali fornia and Tony Dorsett (6,082 at Pittsburgh), all former Heisman winners, on the career list. Rogers also was the nation’s most consistent rusher. He has gone over the 100-yard rushing mark in 21 straight games and is South Caroli na’s all-time total offense leader without ever having thrown a pass. Oddly, Rogers and Green will be going head-to-head in the Gator Bowl on Dec. 29 when the Game cocks (8-3) meet the fourth-ranked Panthers (10-1). No less a booster of Rogers for the Heisman Trophy was Walker. Ear lier this season Rogers played against Walker, and although the freshman outgained the senior, Walker had nothing but praise for his opponent. “I’d’ve voted for Rogers (for the Heisman) if I could, ” Walker said at the time. “I hope he wins it.” Several sports writers admitted they did not consider Walker be cause he was only a freshman and had three years of eligibility re maining.
