Blade-Citizen C-5 Thursday December 10 1992 Holiday Bowl teams are least likely opponents Torretta issued early Heisman by Miami SAN DIEGO (AP) Does someone at the University of Miami know something about the Heisman Trophy that the rest of the nation wont know until Saturday afternoon An awards page prepared for the top-ranked Hurricanes' postseason media guide listed quarterback Gino Torretta as the 1992 Heisman winner. However, the deadline for ballots to arrive in New York isnt until Thursday. The winner will be announced Saturday at the Downtown Athletic Club. The gaffe by the apparently confident Hurricane sports information office came to light when San Diego State's student newspaper, The Daily Aztec, requested Torrettas final season statistics It inadvertently received a fax of the page that listed Torretta as the Heisman winner. Its very embarrassing, said Linda Venzon, Miamis sports information director The newspaper wasnt supposed to receive that form.

Venzon said a student intern put together the postseason media guide. I guess that person was a little anxious to name Gino as the winner," she said. Bernadette Beglane, coordinating director of the Downtown Athletic Club, told the Daily Aztec that no one is supposed to know who the winner is until Saturday I dont know why they would say or do that." Beglane said. "It must be a misprint, but I cant really comment on it until I look into it more on why they would do that." Torretta is considered the Heisman front runner over running backs Marshall Faulk of San Diego State and Garrison Ilearst of Georgia team After the eame I wasn't as des perate as I might have been because I still felt we had a lot to piay for After San Diego State fell to Fresno State the next wet k. the Rainbows beat Wyoming to secure a -hare of the WAC championship with Brigham Young and Fresno State By virtue of its victories over the Cougars and Bulldog- Hawaii scheduled a second trip to San Diego this year The Rainbow- then bt at Tulsa and Pitt to fini-h 'he itgu.ar -ta-on at 10 2 Haw an ill take time off for finals until Doc 18 Tepper and Wagner found that they have similar quartcrbac ks 1 11 mi -enior Ja-or, ordure and Hawaii tumor Michael arter ale built more like linebacker- than qaartt rba k- Yerduco 5 1 mt 4 and i'tO pound-ranks seventh in Big huaiui paing with 7 284 yard- Tin- -ea- a.

Ditka said during a teleconference with reporters in advance of the Bears' game Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I really havent. I just hope that whatever the university decides, it's the best thing for the school and they can get the program back on track. If Ditka were interested in the Pitt job, he wouldn't ait for a call.

"I would contact them in a second. he said I can get to Pittsburgh in a hurry "I have great pride in the fact that Im from that area and that I went to the University of Pittsburgh. I was proud of the things we tried to accomplish over the years there, he added "Right now I have some unfinished business here that Im trying to get worked out. If I were to tell you that things never crossed my mind everything crosses your mind at some time or another in life. Paul Hackett was forced out as Pitts coach two weeks ago.
