...three of its five outings, the Tigers defensive unit has surrendered at least 35 points. On what can euphemistically be described as a porous defense. The leading tackler is strong safety Joe Warnement. Who by necessityblities frequently to alone for an inept pass rush...
Allard may not be able to guide the Crimson through five-play 80-yard drives as he did against the Minutemen, but the Army defense has proved somewhat porous in its three earlier outings UNC rushed for 421 yards against the Cadets, not a shocking statistic given the match-up, unless you consider that Tar Heel running back and Heisman candidate Kelvin Bryant didn't play a single down when Army visited Chapel Hill.

The forcible resettlement of the Miskitos was designed to prevent them from providing food, shelter and intelligence to the anti-Sandinistas. Whatever the reason, the Sandinista action against the Indian...
Harvard outscored UMass, 18-2, in the next 10:38. The once-porous defense had suddenly tightened, and the Crimson front line began to block out. Forced to take outside shots and stripped of the second opportunities they had cashed in on minutes before, the minutemen could manage only one basket, an 18-footer...
