The Knights defense fell apart as
Hanover scored another touchdown
on their next possession using 10
plays to carry the ball 60 yards.
Kaminski scored his third touch-
down of the day by driving in from
the five yard line. He also kicked
the extra point to give Hanover a 34-
6 lead in the game.
Turnovers plagued the Knights as
another one late in the final period
turned the ball over to Hanover.
With less than a minute to play,
Lake-Lehman turned the ball over
to Maurice Taylor, sophomore for
Hanover who ran 15 yards on the
first play and on the next play
weaved in and out of the Knights
defense to go in for Hanover’s fifth
touchdown.
“The boys played a great game
the first half which shows they can
do it,” said Knights coach Mark
Kirk. “But they came out in the
second half making too many
mental errors. They seem to let
down as soon as they fall behind.
You can’t do that and win ball
games.
“We're off this next weekend so
now it’s back to the drawing board
and work on the games coming up.
Our next game will be a tough one
with G.A.R.”

Penn State fans will find out on
Saturday just how good their
Nittany Lions really are and if
they’re for real when they take
on the Longhorns of Texas.
While I’ve made mention here
Texas, I wanted to check out
some of my observations and
talked with former Pitt and now
Texas A&M Coach Jackie Sher-
rill last week.
Jackie told me some of the
strengths and weaknesses of the
Longhorns and what keys to look
for during the contest.
“The game will be won or lost
in the trenches,” says Sherrill.
“Texas’ offense is quite strong
coming off the football. They run
block extremely well, then go to
play action passing game. Their
runners will nick you for three,
four and eight yards at a clip.
They don’t have any real burners
at the present time. Receiver
wise, they’ve got folks that are
intelligent. They’ve got 4.6 speed
(for the 40-yard dash) and can go
for the football. Overall, keep an
eye on the offensive line and
their explosion off the ball. State
will have to neutralize them up
front.”
Penn State’s defense will have
to concern themselves with
putting the clamps on the ‘Horns
running game first. When Texas
does throw the football, State’s
free safety and the linebackers
are the key in reading the cover-
ages and making the necessary
adjustments.
Texas’ strength rests with its
defense and its exceptional sec-
ondary.
Jackie pointed out, ‘‘State’s QB
(Doug Strang) has not seen the
likes of Texas’. secondary. They
posses exceptional speed and will
play State with man-to-man cov-
erage. The free safety is the key.
He’s great at reading the routes
and breaking to the ball. Texas
will show double and bracket
coverages. They sure can dis-
So how can Penn State attack
such a vaunted defense?
“Most of the teams which have
had success against Texas has
been able to run the option.
State’s doesn’t. However, they're
going to have to try to sprint out
some and throw on the run. Or
they can sprint and gap block to
give they're QB time to locate
his receivers,’’ said Sherrill.
He added that Penn State has
always been able to successfully
run the football and that he
anticipated themto come right
out and establish its ground
game. As a change of pace throw
to the tightend.
Texas has a big league kicking
game and could have a slight
edge there.
Jackie said in closing, ‘‘I
haven’t seen Penn State this
season, but I anticipate they’re
still doing the things which have
been sound and successful in the
past.”
CLIPBOARD NOTES:
— If someone would have told
me that Pitt, Maryland, Ala-
bama and Auburn would have
lost its first two games of the
season I'd have bet the ranch
they’d be wrong.
I don’t anticipate the Tide to
get any better simply because of
reality setting in and they
weren't that good in key areas,
especially QB, in first place.
— Lake-Lehman’s problems
rest with an ineffective offense
and limited ability to move the
football consistently deep in the
opponents’ end of the field.
Some of the Knights fans have
called for a stronger emphasis on
a feeder program with the
younger folks. That’s all well and
good. I know the school board is
willing to do what ever it takes to
have a successful program and
that coach Mark Kirk has the
know how to make things work.
— Doug Flutie of Boston Col-
lege is the head honcho for the
Heisman right now, according to
many sources around the coun-
try. A couple of wins down the
road against Miami and Penn
State would make him a shoo-in.
