...that's good news for coach Joe Restic's chargers, who begin the search today for their first winning season in Cambridge since 1976. The omens are good, the talent is there, but the questions remain. The biggest question, the quarterback, seems to have been answered in the person of Brian Buckley, the senior who served as Larry Brown's '79 back-up and heir apparent until eligibility problems side-lined him last year. The good news is that Buckley has a tremendous arm and years of experience with Restic's Multiflex offense, at least on the practice field...
Look for excitement to come from the wide-receiver spot, where Ron Cuccia, also a back-up QB, will be making his varsity debut. The high school All Everything from Los Angeles creates excitement wherever he goes and in Restic's stream of consciousness offense, he could make a considerable nuisance of himself. Regarding the possibility of the quarterback-turned-split end throwing from that position, backfield coach Lawrence Glueck would say only, "You know this offense is made for razzle-dazzle." So keep your eye on number seven...
...coach Joe Restic says, "If we can stay healthy, we'll be three." A superlative defensive line and a wealth of talented signal-callers should prove the greatest Crimson strengths, and while the squad has some holes to plug, Restic's charges always manage to be competitive...
...offensive side, coach Joe Restic continued to work with several quarterbacks, but insiders say the starting job will go to senior Brian Buckley, despite a lackluster performance in the scrimmage. Buckley, who missed last year because of eligibility troubles, presided over two stalled drives and threw an interception, but his powerful left arm and his status as a senior (always important with Restic) makes him the likely choice. Junior Mike Buchanan, rated number one on the depth chart when the Crimson came back this fall, didn't have much of a day either, scrambling almost every time he dropped back...
...Restic finally gave junior (sophomore eligibility) Ron Cuccia a chance at split end and the results proved impressive. The diminutive Californian, who seems to generate excitement whenever he plays, caught a pair of passes and looks like a sure bet to start at one of the receiving posts. "It would be a waste to put either Buckley or Cuccia on the bench," captain Chuck Durst said yesterday, and Restic, commander of the injury-ravaged Crimson, can ill-afford to let prime talent stand idle...
