The lastest model is Robbie Bosco, a junior in his first year as BYU’s starter. He follows a superb quar terback line that has included Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon and Steve Young. This season, Bosco has already passed for 2,844 yards and 27 touch downs, completed 61.3 percent of his passes — 204-of-318 — and thrown only five interceptions. In the 11 years since BYU made the forward pass the centerpiece of its offense, McMahon had the school mark for the fewest interceptions in a single season — seven in 1981. Bosco may better that standard. In addition to his considerable football chores, Bosco is now run ning into the same off-field pres sures McMahon, Young and the other BYU quarterbacks had to deal with. “Actually, it’s kind of what I ex pected. It comes with the position,” Bosco said. “Whether you’re good or bad, you have to talk with the me dia.” Bosco has been better than good this season, passing No. 4 BYU to a 9-0 record and a ninth consecutive Western Athletic Conference title. The Cougars entered the weekend ranked No. 1 in the NCAA in both passing and total offense. When Bosco arrived at BYU in 1981 as an all-around prep athlete from Roseville, Calif., McMahon was still a senior and Young was his backup. The new freshman was as signed to the Cougar junior varsity that year and spent 1982 as a red- shirt. “I didn’t really like football that much during my first two years at BYU. Actually, I quit the team for a couple of days because I didn’t think there was any way I could learn all the plays,” he said. The retirement didn’t last long. Bosco returned to his apprentice ship on the sidelines, moving up to BYU’s No. 2 quarterback spot last year, behind Young, a consensus All-American. “I wasn’t that frustrated. I knew I had to wait my turn. It’s almost im possible for a freshman to come in and play here,” he said. Now Bosco finds the better he plays, the less he plays. Last Saturday, he had thrown for 237 yards and four touchdowns when Coach LaVell Edwards pulled him from a WAC game against Texas-El Paso because BYU was leading 42-3 in the third quarter. “There’s always two factors,” Ed wards said about his decision to bench Bosco. “Number one, I’m not goihg to leave a player in just to get some sta tistics. I don’t think you win the Heisman (Trophy) or any other award just by getting stats. And, Number 2, there’s always the el ement of injury.” Edwards said he was going to let Bosco run one more series in the third quarter against the UTEP Min ers, after BYU had scored its sixth touchdown. However, on that series, he said Bosco dropped back to throw a pass and was flushed out of his pocket. He started to run and he went down and some guy came in and nailed him right in the back with the hel met. “I thought to myself that’s ridicu lous,” Edwards said. “We’re ahead 42-3 and there’s absolutely no rea son for Robbie to be out there. 'Run for the Roses'pits Huskies against Trojans United Press International As the 1984 college football year begins to wind down, the annual post-season bowl selection process is in full swing. While some bids have been sealed, and more still may be decided Satur day, it may take a few more weeks before the final bowl picture is com pleted. In the Pacific 10, the “Run for the Roses” will be decided Saturday when the No. 1 Washington Huskies meet the No. 12 USC Trojans in Los Angeles’ Memorial Coliseum. The winner of the nationally tele vised showdown is guaranteed a trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, re gardless of the outcome of the final Pac 10 games the following week. Even if the Huskies lose (some thing they have done with a Rose Bowl bid on the line the last two years against rival Washington State), there is still a chance for a New Year’s Day appearance. Representatives of three other Jan. 1 bowl games — the Cotton, Fiesta and Orange — all have ex pressed an interest in Washington, if the Huskies lose to USC but win their season finale against Washing ton State. That scenario would give Wash ington a 10-1 record for the season, which would make them quite attrac tive in this year of parity and upsets in college football. If No. 17 Iowa (6-2-1) can win its remaining conference games against Michigan State and Minnesota it will be the representative from the Big 10 in the Rose Bowl.
