...seven games this season, Heisman Trophy Winner Spurrier was practically the whole offense. He completed 61% of his passes for 2,012 yds. and 16 touchdowns, punted 45 times for a 40.8-yd. average, kicked off and booted field goals. Mainly be cause of Spurrier's size, the pros rate him above Purdue's Bob Griese, who is one inch shorter and 20 Ibs. lighter-but they also agree that "no college quarterback can play first string unless he gets with some club that is in last place or so." Which is exactly where Spurrier seems...
...football these days. "We will always sacrifice quickness for weight," says one scout, but in the case of Farr and Jones, there is nothing to sacrifice-they both run the 100 in under 10 sec., have "the strength to break tackles" and "an eye for the goal line." The pros are also high on Notre Dame's Nick Eddy: "He'd be on our list," says one, "except for the fact that he can't be drafted." The reason: since he missed a semester because of illness, Eddy was eligible for the draft last year, when...
...Jack Clancy, 22, Michigan, 6 ft. 1 in., 192 lbs. Washington, who caught five passes for 123 yds. in Michigan State's 10-10 tie with Notre Dame, is also the Big Ten high hurdles champion and "a cinch to make it big in the pros"-either as a split end or a tight end. Clancy is too light to play anything except split end, but he caught 76 passes for 1,079 yds.-almost two-thirds of Michigan's total passing yardage this year...
...TACKLES: Maurice ("Mo") Moorman, 22, Texas A. & M., 6 ft. 5 in., 252 lbs., and Ron Vary, 20, Southern Cal, 6 ft. 6 in., 265 lbs. One scout calls Vary "the best offensive blocker in college ball in a long, long time." While the pros see the pair as the best college tackles around, they will have to wait. Both Moorman and Yary are juniors...
...TACKLES: Kevin Hardy, 21, Notre Dame, 6 ft. 5 in., 270 Ibs. and Loyd Phillips, 21, Arkansas, 6 ft. 3 in., 241 Ibs. "A stud" is the way admiring pros describe Hardy, a draft-eligible junior who not only bulwarked the Irish defense but also punted for an average of 42 yds., and is the only athlete in 20 years to letter in three sports (football, basketball, baseball) at Notre Dame. Phillips is "too light to play tackle in the pros-he'll probably be switched to linebacker." But his attitude is strictly professional: "Football is his whole reason...
