Indiana linebacker Mark Hagen, a four-year starter, was selected the Defensive Player of the Game.

He had nine tackles, two assists and a sack. He also inspired a Hoosier defense that shut down the Bears' veer option. Baylor, which averaged almost 413 yards a game offensively entering the game, was limited to 269 yards. Joe completed only 10 of 26 passes for 131 yards. He was Intercepted once.

"I think you have to give Indiana credit. They played extremely well offensively and defensively," Baylor coach Grant Teaff said. "They didn't make any mistakes until late. If we didn't have any turnovers it could have been a close game, and I think it would have if we scored on that fake field goal." The play Grant referred to came toward the end of the first quarter with Indiana leading 7-0. The Bears were at the Hoosier 21-yard line and lined up to attempt a field goal.

When the ball was snapped, kicker Jeff Ireland raced down the left sideline toward the end zone. Punter Kent Brentham, the holder, dropped back and lofted a pass that was just beyond the outstretched hands of the wide-open Ireland. For the game, the Bears were outgained 323-269 The Arizona Daily Star Perhaps nothing in last night's Domino's Pizza Copper Bowl summed up Baylor's season more than one play. The Bears, trailing Indiana 17-0 near the end of the third quarter, had finally received some of the breaks they so desperately needed. A face-mask penalty and an interference call gave Baylor the ball at the Hoosier 2-yard line.

But Baylor's drive and hopes of winning were halted when quarterback J.J. Joe's handoff to fullback Robert Strait was bobbled into the end zone and recovered by Indiana, which cruised to a 24-0 win at Arizona Stadium. "That's the way our season has been going," Joe said. "This is a new thing for us a bowl game. We didn't come out and play like we should have." If the Copper Bowl was a microcosm of Baylor's season, it was definitely of the least memorable mo No.

This game can stand on its own wobbly, perhaps but its future looks better now than it did two years ago when the hometown Wildcats could draw only 37,237. After last night's game, Indiana senior linebacker Mark Hagan told a TV crew that "this game is the highlight of my career." "It's been incredibly great experience being out here," he said. "We won the final game of my career and this was really a nice place. Someday people are going to find out what we did that this is a great place to come to for a bowl game." We can dream, can't we?

Yet all that seemed to be missing as Baylor and Indiana spent a week in relative anonymity in Tucson was a bugler and the sheet music to "Taps." Is the Copper Bowl really doomed after three short years? We can only hope not. The big change from the inaugural Copper Bowl to the one last night was that, in a crowd of people at the trophy presentation, Indiana coach Bill Mallory walked up to Copper Bowl president Larry Brown and said, "I hope you invite us back sometime." Isn't that a nice change? Until now, we weren't sure these teams wanted to be associated with our baby bowl game. The most negative omen is that wherever Baylor seems to go at bowl time, that game has had a mere 61 percent rate of survival. Previous Baylor teams blew through the Gotham, Bluebonnet and Dixie bowls, rest their defunct souls, and there are those who tell you that the Copper Bowl will be the next to roll over and go stiff.

No way. Not unless WTBS decides not to renew its $650,000 annual rights fee. And even at that, the Copper Bowl people have a few cards to play with other cable and network systems. "The whole key is the TV deal," Copper Bowl chairman Burt Kinerk said after the game. "We'll sit down with the TBS people next month and see what we can come up with.

"We've hung in there pretty good since we got this thing started. My friend from the Holiday Bowl, Roy Miller, calls me and says 'you don't just create tradition He says that they struggled with tickets and TV and everything else. He says that if you stay with it, you'll make it. "We'll make it." You can't fairly judge Tucson's bowl timber until you offer it a better game, at a better starting time, and sometime, any time, that isn't New Year's Eve. (TV dictates those things).

It may be the single worst night of the year to play football. Most people can find something better to do on the night before all the meaningful bowl games. In three tries, the Copper Bowl has had gate sales of 37,237 State), 36,340 (Cal- Wyoming) and 35,751 (Indiana-Baylor). That's an average of 36,442. "The best thing that happened this year is that we got a better class of teams here," said Brown.

"And I think we were all encouraged in the last week by the ticket sales. "There was a time last week when we were afraid we wouldn't get 25,000 here. But in the last two or three days ticket sales were actually brisk. I think we crossed another plateau this year. We've made great progress since the first game." If the Copper Bowl can get even an extra $400,000 from WTBS (or any TV source), it could start the bidding at 8-3 teams and stay there, instead of starting at 8-3 and usually settling for less.

Plus, you've got to believe the Copper bowl is due to get lucky. Luck, In the non-New Year's Day bowl business, is hooking a team like Utah or Kansas or Missouri in its first bowl appearance in a decade or more. Indiana and Baylor brought a combined audience of roughly 7,500 to Tucson this week. Had Utah won another game this year and been legitimate bowl material, the Utes could've reasonably expected to bring 20,000 fans to Tucson. Indiana and Baylor are in bowl games with such regularity that they are daunted not only by the cost and distance of getting to Tucson, but they don't seem to get jazzed up about any bowl that doesn't involve a blimp.
