A changing of t
occured among
A new generation of elite quarterbacks
are infiltrating the ranks
of the National Football League.
The days when consummate
drop-back passers dominated the
league are ending. There was a
time when drop-back passers such
as Roger Staubach and Terry Bradshaw
were the most exciting quarterbacks
in football.
That time has ended.
The best pocket passers today,
such as Joe Montana, Dan Marino,

Defenses often have to resort to
using their free safety to be a
watchdog on the quarterback in
case he scrambles, which leaves
one-on-one coverage on most of
the receivers.
Cunningham's Eagles, Elway's
Broncos and Moon's Oilers have
all met with general success over
recent years.
It isn't just coincidence; these
guys produce.
Cunningham and Elway have an
Jim tverett and Jim Kelly are certainly
exciting to watch. But they
pale in comparison to the thrill one
gets from watching Randall Cunningham,
John Elway and, at
times, Warren Moon run and pass
circles around the defense.
The new age quarterbacks of the
NFL are ones always on the move.
They are quarterbacks that can run
as well as pass. Their ability to run
makes their passing games that
much better.
Defenses are constantly bewildered.
Just as a defensive lineman
is about to record a sack, one of
these agile quarterbacks will
quickly slip the tackle and run for
an easy first down.

innate ability, because or their
superb athleticism, to absolutely
dominate a football game.
Montana also has this ability,
but he is the exception among
pocket passers. Marino could have
this ability, too, but he rarely has a
chance to show it because of his
lack of a supporting cast.
The emergence of the pass-andrun
quarterback can be seen filtering
into college football also. Two
of the nation's best, and most successful,
college quarterbacks can
run the ball as well as pass it.

Staff writer
East Carolina is one of four
teams on USC's schedule that has
a new head coach in their first
year.

faced, and beaten, one of the newcomers
? Georgia head coach
Ray Goff.
The transition that comes with
new staffs leads to some irony.
And if this were Wall Street, college
football coaches might be accused
of trading insider
information:
? irony, like the fact that Goff
hired as his defensive coordinator
a man for whom he once worked
right here at USC ? former USC
head coach Richard Bell;
? and inside information ? Goff
also hired a person who knows as
much about USC players as USC's
current staff does ? Frank Orgel,
the inside linebacker head coach
who left former head coach Joe
Morrison's staff to head 'twixt
those infernal hedges and to coach
the same position for Goff.
The inside information didn't
seem to help Georgia out much as
the Bulldogs lost to the Gamecocks,
24-20.
Maybe that's because Gamecock
assistant coach Eddie Williamson,
who is responsible for USC's offensive
line, was an assistant head
coach at Georgia in 1984, so he

abilities of most of East Carolina's
players ? USC Associate Athletic
Director Art Baker, who also
serves as executive director of the
Gamecock Club, was head coach
at East Carolina from 1985 to
1988.
He was replaced by former
Georgia defensive coordinator Bill
Lewis, who went out and hired
former USC secondary coach Tom
McMahon to coordinate ECU's revamped
5-2 defense.
McMahon's "Multiple Eagle"
defense is supposed to be very similar
to the "50" defense he
helped former USC defensive
coordinator Joe Lee Dunn coach
with the Gamecocks for the past
two seasons.
Many USC players liked and respected
McMahon, said Gamecock
senior quarterback Todd Ellis.
"With all the upheaval that went
on here last year, a lot of us were
real happy to hear that Coach
McMahon got a job," Ellis said.
"We're real happy to have
