Except, here comes a completely different but just as severe exam, the Mississippi State game. This is Jackie Sherrill's chance to restate his claim to coaching honors. I'd give a nickel to know, but I don't dare ask. Jackie's big job this year, all year, is how to get points from the quarterback position, where Wayne Madkin is all athlete with seeming poor luck and Matt Wyatt plays like he's 47 but completes his wobbly passes in the clutch at the end. And they're recruiting to stop the Florida-type attack.
Defenses catch up with everything.
At the time, of course, there was just one Carl Eller. Now in his 90s, Runyan won the PGA twice in the '30s but gained renown teaching, which he still does. It was refreshing to see a freshman forward such as Carl Baker catch the ball on the baseline and promptly put in a neat swisher. We've been plagued lately, remember, with forwards who couldn't finish. They are one with Sidney Moncrief, the teacher, who says that the Trojans will make it big in three years, and with mostly Arkansas athletes.
