Prospectus
APS U will rely on a combined sophomore and senior-dominated roster of returning lettermen and starters when it opens its 1983 season in September under third-year head coach Emory Hale.
The Govs will be returning 15 starters from the 1982 club that went 3-7 and s topped the school mark of five successive seasons with a winning record or .500 mark.
Senior fullback John Brown and sophomore tailback Fred " Motor" Motes, the two leading rushers, will pace the ground attack, while versatile senior Z-back Tommy Michael, who was among the conference's top pass receivers, rounds out the returning offensive statistical starters.
Defensively, the Govs will return senior star Mike Newton at rover. Other seniors include noseman Chris Jenkins, linebacker Bill Ryznic, cornerback Willie Armstrong and free safety William McElroy.
Eastern leads the series, 21-3.
