...Florida's Steve Spurrier, 21, and Richard Trapp, 20, have a simple system of signals: whenever Flanker Trapp sees that he is not being "double-teamed"-meaning covered by two defensive backs-he nods to Quarterback Spurrier, who immediately throws to him. A 9.8-sec. sprinter who is most dangerous on flat passes, Trapp has caught 31 passes for 489 yds. and six touchdowns, is one of the main reasons Florida is ranked No. 8 in the nation. Frank Jackson, an end on the pro Miami Dolphins, says Spurrier is "already better than a bunch of passers in both...

...both tops in the nation. The closest call experienced all year by the unbeaten, No. 3-ranked Bruins came at Rice, when they trailed 24-16 with a little more than three minutes to go. Quarterback Beban threw a 33-yd. pass that was deflected by two Rice defenders; Flanker Busby, a 9.4-sec.-dash man, flashed behind the defenders, leaped, and snared the ball for a touchdown. A 2-point conversion and a last-minute field goal rescued U.C.L.A. from near disaster 27-24. "It sure helps to have fast ones out there to receive," says Beban, who runs...

...threw 13 yds. for a third. Against Missouri last week, he completed eleven out of 20 passes, for 204 yds. Even so, he is hardly a one-man team. Halfback Farr is a legitimate All-America candidate who has aver aged 6 yds. per carry so far this season. Flanker Harold Busby is a threat to go all the way any time he gets his hands on one of Beban's passes-because he runs the 100-yd. dash in 9.4 sec. Tackle John Richardson (254 Ibs.) and Guard Larry Agajanian (232 Ibs.) supply the beef for a gang...

...good 60 yds. in the air. New York's second touchdown came on a rollout: whirling suddenly, Namath flipped the ball back across the field to Fullback Matt Snell, who ambled 25 yds. Tight End Pete Lammons was Joe's target-a 13-yarder-and then Flanker Don Maynard put on a show of his own. Don caught one TD pass (55 yds.), gathered in a second (37 yds.), barely missed a third when he broke loose in a corner of the end zone, where the ground sloped down 3 ft. Otherwise perfect, Namath's pass sailed...
