Cyclones build up speed, size
Coach stresses improved defense for 1998 season
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State should be a bigger and quicker football team in 1998.
Coach Dan McCarney said that those two traits also make the Cyclones a better team.
Iowa State is in its second week of spring practice after an offseason that emphasized improving speed, size and strength more than pure conditioning.
McCarney said improvement in those areas was critical after the Cyclones were manhandled during the 1997 season, particularly on defense. Iowa State went 1-10 on the field but was 2-9 on paper because of a forfeit by Colorado.
"We were outphysicaled, outmuscled and outhit a lot of games last year," McCarney said. "So we really wanted to put some time this winter into strength and size development."
McCarney said that every starter on defense should be able to run 40
yards in 4.8 seconds or faster, which would be a first in his tenure.
"This is the
"This is the first time since we've been here that I think we'll have a legitimate Division I defense," he said.
McCarney had expressed similar optimism about his defense before last season, and it proved to be unfounded. Iowa State gave up an average of 44.8 points a game, which put them last in the Big 12 and 110th out of 112 Division I-A teams in scoring defense.
The Cyclones also were last in the league in total defense and pass defense.
Nine starters are back on defense, but the depth chart at the end of spring practice might not mean much because 16 junior college transfers will arrive in the fall, including 10 who play defense.
Two other junior college transfers who play defense already are enrolled and are practicing now: linebacker Lynn Hadnot and defensive back Jeff Waters.
"I don't think any spots are secure," said linebacker Dave Brcka, a two-year starter. "No one
had a good season last year, and
every spot's up for grabs. Lynn
came and he's going to push me
for my job."
The most open position is wide receiver, which was gutted by the departure of seniors Ed Williams, Ty Watley and Daman Green.
Kevin Wilson moved from defense and Mike Brantley are the starters now, but that likely will change in the fall with the arrival of junior college recruits Robert Brown, Kenyatta Burris, Damien Groce and Reggie Moorer.
Quarterback Todd Bandhauer will return after throwing for 2,515 yards and a school-record 20 touchdowns, and tailback Darren Davis is hoping to stay healthy for a full season. Davis ran 1,005 yards during an injury-bleaued 1997 season.
"We've got the right attitude," Bandhauer said. "It takes a bunch of guys who play together as a team."
Bandhauer will have a lot of new faces in front of him this spring.
Three returnees in the offensive line, Bengal Dogwill, Marc Cortez and Ben Bruns, will miss spring practice because of injuries. That opens the door for a promising group of freshmen who were red-shirted last season.
Also new is Pete Hoener, who replaced Steve Loney as offensive coordinator.
"This a real important time," McCarney said. "They've got a new position coach, a new offense, a lot of new faces in there. That's a real key area for us this spring."
Another veteran lineman, Ben Beaudet, has moved from guard to center because Hoener wants an experienced player snapping the ball to Bandhauer.
The staff has two other new coaches, assistant head coach Nick Quartaro and secondary coach Mike Grant.
Many feel this is a make-or-break season for McCarney, who has won only six games in three years. McCarney, though, does not feel his job is threatened.
"I don't come to practice feeling any pressure that we have to go to a bowl game or we have to win six games, that they're going to spin the revolving door at Iowa State one more time and bring in somebody else," he said. "I can't control all that stuff. All I can do is come every day with an upbeat, positive approach, which we do."
Spring practice will end with the annual intrasquad game on April 18.
Politicians praise K-State football
Snyder honored for turnaround
TOPEKA — Kansas State's remarkable turnaround in football during the past decade drew accolades yesterday at the Statehouse.
The Associated Press
Gov. Bill Graves called the Wild
cats the richest college football team playing in America" today. Kept Kent
Reps. Kent Glasscock and
Jeff Peterson of Manhattan introduced the team to the House and called it one of the outstanding sports stories in the nation.
Sen. Lana Oleen, also of Manhattan, who presented the team to the Senate, said Kansas State had enlisted a legion of fans from border to border since Coach Bill Snyder brought respectability to the program.
"When the Wildcats went to Tempe (Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Eve), a tempest of purple went with them," Oleen said, referring to the school's primary color.
Kansas State had the losingest major college football program in the nation when Snyder arrived in 1969. In the past five years, the Wildcats have won 48 games and have made five straight bowl appearances.
Glasscock said it took truly yeoman's work by Snyder to accomplish that.
Graves and the lawmakers paid tribute specifically to Kansas State's 1997 football team, which won 10 of 11 regular-season games, swamped Syracuse 35-18 in the Fiesta Bowl and finished seventh in the final Associated Press poll.
They also made numerous references to the Wildcats' rise to football prominence.
Snyder was accompanied by 70 players, dressed alike in blue sports jackets and tan slacks.
The players and their coach rimmed the floor of the Senate, which unanimously adopted a resolution praising the team for its accomplishments and then went to the House for similar recognition before being greeted individually by Graves in his office, then attended a second-floor rotunda ceremony at which Graves smoke.
"I'm really envious of the applause you got in both chambers (of the Legislature). I only hope I can some day get as much applause for my accomplishments."
About 200 people attended the rotunda ceremony.
Graves also said he had a confession to make — noting he lost the coin toss for the Wildcats in the

1997 Cotton Bowl when Kansas State was beaten by Brigham Young, 19-15.
"I want you all to know I take personal responsibility for the loss in the Cotton Bowl a couple of years ago," he said.
Snyder spoke in each chamber and at the ceremony, touting his players' involvement in community service. He also commented on what he said was unfortunate publicity given to quarterback Michael Bishop, who was arrested and then exonerated from involvement in an altercation in the Aggieville district in late February.
Commentary
Woods' slump fuels rivals on the links
By Ron Sirak The Associated Press
Words once written are frequently eaten, and there is a strong possibility the ones that follow will be quite tasty a week from Sunday at the Masters. But here they are:
Tiger Woods is currently the
third-best
player in the
world
maybe fifth
Woods: Say his play is ahead of last year's schedule.
PGA Tour events. Since winning five of his first 16 starts on tour, he is 1-for-19.
Of course, it is a measure of his greatness that the issue of "What's wrong with Tiger?" would even arise after a 1-for-19 streak during which he had several second-and third-place finishes — career years for some players.
It also is a measure of the extremes to which "Tigermania" went last year. After Woods won the Masters by 12 strokes, expectations grew way out of proportion.
Bookies in London had the chances of Woods winning the Grand Slam — something never done — at a ridiculous 30-1, better chances than the 33-1 odds they gave Colin Montgomery on winning the U.S. alone.
True, the temporary insanity of those expectations was triggered by a remarkable streak of golf.
Beginning with the second nine at the Masters, Woods played his next 197 holes a mindboggling 55 under par, shooting 10 consecutive rounds in the 60s.
Woods played the final 163 holes of the Masters 22 under par, was 17 under in winning his next time out at the Byron Nelson and was 16 under par through 62 holes at the Colonial as he tried to win his third consecutive event.
The magic ended on the ninth hole of the final round at Colonial when Woods, faced with a relatively easy-approach shot, dumped it into the water in front of the
green. He finished tied for fourth.
But the real answer to "What's wrong with Tiger?" is that the other guys have gotten better.
During that time, Ernie Els has won the U.S. Open, the Buick Classic and the Bay Hill Invitational.
Since that ball splashed into the water at the Colonial, the Western Open in July is Woods' only PGA Tour victory.
Justin Leonard took the Kemper Open, the British Open and The Players Championship and finished second in the PGA Championship.
Davis Love III won the PGA Championship and the Buick Challenge.
David Duval won at Kingsmill, Disney, the Tour Championship and Tucson.
And while Els and Leonard appear to have their games in high gear going into the Masters, Woods was missing fairways, greens and putts at The Players Championship.
Woods, however, insists there is no problem.
"I'm much more ahead of schedule than last year," he said. "Look at my record. Every Sunday I've had a chance to win."
Basically, that's accurate. Woods finished second, third and second in his first three events of this year. But in his last three he has finished ninth, 13th and 35th — not the kind of momentum to take into Augusta.
In Els, Woods has an adversary who not only has a perfect game for Augusta National but also relishes the rivalry.
"I think Tiger should be regarded as the best player," Els said. "He's only 22, and he's probably going to get better."
But Els is playing with more fire than ever, and that fire is fueled in part by his tussle with Woods for the top spot in the World Golf Rankings, where Woods is No. 1 and Els is No. 2.
"But I'm right up there." Els said.
"And several other guys are right up there. I'm 28 now, and I've won two majors, so feel like I belong."
It could well be that Woods will go to Augusta and successfully defend his Masters title. He could even duplicate his remarkable effort from last year.
But it would be wrong to assume it is a done deal. After all, Woods now is the third-best player in the world—maybe fifth.
