experienced targets to throw Jr., Dan Natitus, Mark Berlenski
to. Jim Mahon and Phil
Kasper will also see time at
wide receiver.
Inexperience may be a
problem ‘on the offensive
line, but Bob Roper and
Gaise Lacek return to
anchor the right side of the
line at tackle and guard
respectively. Mlke Hillman
will man the center spot,
with Ed Little and Mike
Rusonis at left guard and
left tackle.
Defensively, Langan
returns five starters to his
50 defense. Lasek is back at
nose tackle, and Teetsel and
Strenfel will play the two
inside linebacker positions
to give the Black Knights a
solid trio up the middle.
Roper and Rusonis will start
at defensive tackle, and
bookends Ed Becker and Ed
Little will play the right and
left defensive ends respec-
tively.
Long and Mike Mully
return to the defensive
backfield with Long at cor-
ner and Mully at strong
safety. Mahon will play the
corner opposite Long, and
Kuwaye will start at free
safety.
While a number of return-
ing starters is the strength
of the Black Knights during
Langan'’s second season, the
success of it may be deter-
mined by the development
of the team’s weakness,
which is a lack of depth. If |;
Lehman can develop some
depth behind its returning
players, the Black Knights
should be able to attain a
team goal of a winning sea-
son.
