...baseball pitcher, remains untested as a passer. No real long threat. Offensive line Five returning lettermen led by '78 starters Dave Scheper (center) and Mike Durgin (tackle), both powerful and experience. Captain Mike Brown should do well at a guard spot. Besides Durgin, line is not very big. Eric Spiegel should figure in at a tackle spot; but injuries could cause depth problems.
