Hess Sees MAC Title Race as Horse Race
Ohio University football coach Bill Hess expects a tight MAC title chase with six contenders including Western Michigan and Miami not listed. He notes a tough schedule, retooled offensive line, experienced guards Bob Weidow and Bob Barrow, and rising players like Steve Milano and Mike Douglas. Hess praises center Bruce Heasley and quarterback Andy Vetter with star back Arnold Welcher, plus a fast returning defense led by Steve Groves. The new OU schedule aims to boost morale after a five week gap and opens with Marshall on Sept 10, boosting early-season edge.
