...have to crank up the running game," Murphy said. "We are always going to mix the run and the pass--that's our M.O. But we want to get more snaps. We only had 65 against Columbia, and we would like 80. If we can get more snaps, it will be a lot easier to throw...
...telephone companies. But what he fails to mention is that the reason Ma Bell was broken up was that this long-distance provider was just too good for its own good.

The company announced that it will lay off 10,000 workers worldwide in its Global Information Solutions unit, formerly NCR until AT&T acquired it in 1990. AT&T has lost at least $8 billion in the computer market since its 1984 breakup with the Baby Bells, McCarroll notes, and with these cutbacks seems ready to retreat into its traditional telecommunications business...
