THE OUTLOOK -
In their second year under Fran Curci, the Wildcats return some key starters
on offense, but face the tremendous task of shoring up a defensive unit hard hit
by graduation.
Leading the returnees on offense are Southeastern Conference "Player of
the Year" Alfred "Sonny" Collins, starting quarterback Mike Fanuzzi, running
back Steve Campassi, center Rick NuzumQ tackle Warren Bryant and tight end
Elmore Stephens.
Collins earned more honors than any sophomore in the history of U.K.
football. In addition to being named on all the SEC all·star squads, he was UPI
SEC Offensive Player of the Year, Nashville Banner SEC Player of the Year and
Birmingham P0st·Herald SEC Sophomore of the Year, along with other national
and regional honors.
He finished the season with 1,213 yards, only 99 short of the SEC record of
1,312 set in 1949 by John Dottley of Mississippi, and was the SEC scoring leader
with 80 points.
With the graduation of No. 2 rusher Doug Kotar (110 carries for 431 yards),
Steve Campassi seems in line for a starting backfield spot on the strength of a
sophomore season in which he carried 47 times for 209 yards and two TDs. Also
seeing action from the running back spot were sophomore Bill Bartos and
freshman Joe Dipre.
Fanuzzi, held out of action in 1972 because of a knee operation, earned a
starting position after the third game of the season and finished as the No. 3
rusher (111 att. for 393 yds., three TDs) and leading passer (32 completions in
83 attempts for 559 yards and five TDs). Returning for his senior year also_ is
two-letterman Ernie Lewis (62 carries for 185 yards and 23 of 43 passes for 317
yards and three TDs).
Favorite target of U.K. passers is Stephens (16 receptions for 282 yards and
four TDs, including a 63-yard scoring run against Louisiana State). Graduated
are Jack Alvarez (10xl69) and Ray Barga (7x114). An outstanding young
prospect is Fred Bishop, of Pineville, Ky., who caught seven passes for 103
yards, including a 41-yard TD catch against LSU, as a freshman last season.
Nuzum, who played offensive guard during his sophomore season, is de-
scribed by Curci as one of the outstanding centers in the league. He and Bryant,
who was named to the All-SEC Freshman team, are the only returning starters in
the interior line. Missing are three-year veterans Rich Allen, Dave Margavage and
Harvey Sword.
Field_goal and extra point specialist Ron Steele is gone but punter John
Tatterson returns this year, along with Kent Reyes, who kicked off and made
one of three field goal attempts as a freshman.
The· big holes to fill on defense will be those left by All-Conference
· selections "Bubba" McCollum, noseguard, and Darryl Bishop, safety; linebacker
Frank LeMaster and tackle Fred Hamberg. Cornerback Jeff Woodcock and end
Jim Hovey also played out their eligibility.
