B-6 SPORTS THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Friday, November 4, 1 983 Miami Vs. Ohio The Great Expectations Unfulfilled BY BILL FORD Enquirer Reporter OXFORD, Ohio-The only thing Brian Burke remembers about the Mid-American Conference preseason meeting last August is the look in Brian Pillman's eyes. "Like fire," says Burke, the Ohio University coach, in a telephone interview recalling his introduction to Miami's intense middle guard. "He wanted to take a bite out of my leg right there." It's a reminder than even though Ohio and Miami no longer are factors in the MAC pursuit of the California Bowl, their' storied rivalry is forever. The 60th game in the series comes off here at 1:30 p.m.

Saturday. "We played well a year ago," asserted Burke of Ohio's 20-0 victory, the Bobcats' 24th in the series that began in 1908. "But there was something strange about the Miami team. As we walked off the field, the Miami players looked awful, awful dissappointed very upset with themselves, as if they knew they didn't play to their potential." THE REDSKINS are on the second refrain. At 2-6 this autumn, they know they haven't performed to expectations.

The Bobcats (3-5) have a verse or two to add, also. They are not the image Burke created, either. "We lost four starters for a multitude of reasons I don't care to go into, two in the offensive line," said Burke, sounding To the extent that he has second thoughts about listening to a call from old friend Lou Holtz and leaving a promising career as a Cleveland stock broker to return to football? "No, I have no regrets," said Burke seriously. "I did enjoy it for about two years. You have to be a hard-sell salesman.

You're not dealing with a $1.98 product. In some cases, you're counseling people with their entire life savings at stake. I just didn't feel comfortable with it." Under Burke, Ohio is one of the MAC'S more entertaining teams. But in his fifth year, he's 26-26 and he does not like it. HE THINKS the league's decision to advance five grants in aid to 80 next season is a step forward, but he wondered aloud whether the National Collegiate Athletic Association will call the MAC'S hand? "I'm talking about commitment as a key to stay in I-A," says Burke.

Almost all MAC teams play Intercon-ference schedules. Often, the league fares poorly usually because of a wide difference in personnel. Most all major schools reach the NCAA maximum 95 scholarships, 20 more than the MAC until the recent decision to upgrade. "No question it (80 scholarships) will help us against outside opposition," says Burke. "It's nice that Northern Illinois can beat Kansas, but something like that is going to happen in our league once every five years." College Football not unlike a replay of the Miami problem.

One of the four no-shows, Dave Moore, "was the best offensive lineman in the league." Another, 250-pound Ron Haus-feld of Cincinnati, played the middle of the defensive line. As a result of the missing pieces, Burke lacks the offensive balance he figured he designed last spring. "WE STILL throw the ball, but not as effectively as we should. And the reason we aren't is we cannot establish the run," said Burke. "And for that reason we are somewhat disappointed."

"I would say you'd be very accurate in saying West Virginia and Cincinnati will be playing in future seasons," Tom Shupe, WVU's assistant athletic director, said Thursday. A home-and-home series-one in Morgan town and one at Riverfront-is being finalized for 1987 and '88, it is believed, with additional games proposed for 91 and '92.

The two black labradors of Vince Dooley named Herschel Walker Dooley and Miss Georgia are expecting pups. Maybe he'll call one Terry Hoage Dooley. Bowl gossip: The Independence in Shreveport, would love Kentucky at 6-4-1 and its fans. "We've got to get people in Independence Stadium," a bowl spokesman said Thursday. The Florida Citrus, according to Orlando Sen tinel columnist Larry Guest, is set on Ohio State whether the Bucks finish 9-2 or 8-3, but an OSU spokesman says the Bucks aren't set on the Citrus; they'd prefer the Fiesta, which could pay each team $1 million this year.

Clemson, although on probation, can still market with the best of them. The Tigers have introduced orange shampoo. Vanderbilt football coach George Maclntyre says his violation of an NCAA rule against giving tickets to high school coaches "is so innocent that it is ridiculous. I'm guilty of giving tickets to former players and old friends who wanted to see our game," Maclntyre said. "I never thought anything else about it."

10. Second, Notre Dame is playing Navy next Nov. 3 at the Meadowlands, and Unger doesn't relish promoting two Irish appearances at the stadium in one year. "We cannot commit economic suicide," Unger said. The List Mike Gramann, a 6-4, 237-pound sophomore guard for UC from Colerain High, breeds dogs as a hobby.

"It's kind of like our family hobby," said Gramann. "I love it. People say dogs can't speak English, but I'll tell you-they can understand it." His five favorite breeds: 1. Boxer. 2.

Rottweiler. 3. Doberman. 4. Bassett Hound.

But Army beat these guys a month ago, and the game is here. Ohio State 39, Indiana 10-Sam Wyche learned slight of hand from a magician in Norwood when he played with the Bengals in The Trumpy Era, but he can pull rabbits out hats easier than victories these days.

The Hoosiers have been outscored, 94-17, the last two weeks. Notre Dame 20, Pitt 17-Notre Dame hasn't beaten a team with a winning record yet this year. But Pitt's offense is still shaky, and Notre Dame's defense has allowed an average of only 5.4 points a game in the current five-game Irish win streak. Miami (Ohio) 17, Ohio U. 141 have no clue what the Redskins will do.

None. Does anyone? Nebraska 116, Iowa State 3-But ISU could erupt for a touchdown. Last week: 4-2, .667. This year: 30-13, .697. Things couldn't be much better around the College Football Hall of Fame at Kings Island these days.

The Moeller-Princeton game will attract 12,000 fans to Galbreath Field behind the hall this weekend. Next week, a check for something in excess of Hall's cut for the first Kickof Classic played in New Jersey last August-will be in the mail. That'll pay the mortgage, and perhaps help start the research library GM Don Schumacher wants so badly. But Schumacher is most excited about Carnegie-Mellon vs. Augustana, or Hofstra vs.

Wisconsin-La Crosse. Haven't you heard? The Stagg Bowl is a month from yesterday. The Stagg Bowl, for the NCAA Division III football championship, moves this year from Phenix City, to Kings Island. The eight-team playoffs start at campus sites Nov. 19, with semifinals at campus sites on the 26th and the Stagg Bowl to be televised regionally by ABC-at Galbreath Field Dec.

3. The Hallfolk have sold 2,000 seats already and hope to sell 7,500 or so. "It's a holiday classic for small-college football," said Schumacher Thursday. The favorites to Stagger here in early December are this week's Nos. 1- and 2-ranked Division III teams 8-0 Carnegie-Mellon (Pa.) and 7-0 Augustana Ken Anderson's alma mater.

The only area school with a chance to make the playoffs is Wittenberg, which must beat Baldwin-Wallace to make the playoffs. OSU-ND, Chapter IV Ohio State vs. Notre Dame in the second-annual Kickoff Classic next August? Won't happen. "That game does not turn me off a bit," said Les Unger, the coordinator of the annual game in the Meadowlands. "But I just don't see it being next year.

In all honesty, I doubt 1984 will be the year for it."

Tech, 2-7 and 2-2 in the ACC, snapped a scoreless tie late in the second period and exploded for a pair of touchdowns, one on Glan-ton's 61-yard run after catching quarterback John Dewberry's pass in the flat, and another on Collier's 5-yard run two minutes earlier at the 9:47 mark. Virginia, 5-4 and 2-3 in the conference, down 14-0 at the half, got to within 24-21 with 9:04 left in the game when Howard Petty burst over from 3 yards out. VIRGINIA, WHICH dropped its fourth game in five starts, had scored a pair of third quarter touchdowns on runs of five yards by Derek Jenkins and 12 yards by Barry Word.

Tech, however, countered when Collier sprinted 22 yards for a clinching touchdown with 7:44 remaining In the game to give the Yellow Jackets some breathing room at 31-21. Virginia scored again with 50 seconds left when quarterback Wayne Schucts connected on a 17-yard pass to Billy Griggs. The Cavaliers went for a two-point conversion, and Schucts' pass faded. Tech had maintained its lead in the third period on a 1-yard TD plunge by Ronnie Cone and Ron Rice's 46-yard field goal.
