...felt great to knock off B.C., a team he hadn't beaten in three years. Cleary won the Beanpot Tournament MVP award in 1955, when he led Harvard to a 5-4 overtime victory in the final against B.C. "The coach really doesn't like B.C.," said junior Scott Bosco...
...which may yet be arranged. Having reduced Michigan's record to a level 6-6 in last week's stirring 24-17 Holiday Bowl, the nation's only 13-0 team, now 24 games between losses, is still no more than a referendum question. Quarterback Robbie Bosco was carried to the clubhouse after a first-quarter foul, but returned limping in the second to bobble along imperfectly and heroically...
Where most teams speak of "returning lettermen," B.Y.U. keeps statistics on "returning missionaries." The current center, Trevor Matich, has hiked to all of the big four quarterbacks: Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon, Steve Young and Bosco, the national leader in total offense. Matich has managed this by breaking up his playing career with a year and a half of Mormon preaching in Mexico. "When you see kids in adobe houses twelve to a room," he says, "you don't care so much about...

They are outnumbered by Polynesians. "Our recruiting is not predicated on black or white, Mormon or non-Mormon," insists La Veil Edwards, 54, the Mormon coach, "but on lifestyle, people who can appreciate our environment." Every student (98% of the student body is Mormon, 67% of the football team) takes an oath to abstain...
...Cougars have led the country in passing seven of the past nine years. For all of their quarterbacks with professional skills-going back to Virgil Carter in the '60s-no receivers have been similarly distinguished. The Raiders' tight end Todd Christensen was a fullback at B.Y.U. Bosco says, "We don't get the top recruits, the fastest receivers, but the ones we get are smart. They do what they're told. They don't ad-lib." This season they have managed to catch his passes for 35 touchdowns and more than 4,000 yds., including...
