CLEMSON S.C. (AF) ?^
Clemson football coach
Danny Ford made no bones
aboi t it. He is worried about
his offense this season.
He is justified. There is not
one senior on the first or
second offensive units.
"The offensive line is

six juniors on the first team
and the second team consisting
mostly of freshmen,
he is worried. ?
"It is essential for our
offense to do well early," he
said. "If they don't, they jj

FORD EVEN hinted that
the Tigers may have to go to
a quick kicking game and let
the defense help out the
offense.
Aside from a very young
line, the Tigers have two
sophomores at the running
back spots and a big question
mark at quarterback.

At fullback is sophomore
Jeff McCall.
Quarterback is Ford's
problem spot.
"The worst thing that can
happen to a football team is
to let the players start
coaching," said Ford, now in
his second year as head
coach. "That can happen if
you have too many quarterbacks.
Players start
choosing sides and which
quarterback they would
rather play with and you get
in trouble."
Ford is ready to avoid
that. He has four to choose

DEPTH IS ANOTHER
problem Ford has to contend
with.
"We have to depend on a
