Also at quarterback is Kelly Richardson, who will serve as backup QB and start at wide receiver. Richardson quarterbacked the Grizzlies to a 4-0 start last season before suffering an injury. He passed for 906 yards in 1983, ranking him seventh in single season passing. Junior Bob Connors will also be waiting in the wings to call signals. Another bright spot is the backfield, where tailbacks Alan Botzheim and Kraig Paulson had impressive performances in spring ball, and fullbacks Klucewich and Scott Murray look ed good. It is hoped that quartet, along with tailbacks Larry Davidson and Mike Helean, and fullback Kerry Anderson will give UM a balanced attack. Much-heralded frosh Mike Ehlers could also work his way into the picture, along with JC transfer LeRoy Foster. Montana’s practice area is located in the shadow of Mt. Sentinel, and this year’s offensive line resembles sort of a mini Mt. Sentinel when it’s on the field. Senior tackles and honors candidates Rick Linderholm at 6-43A, 262 and Tom Rutt at6 - 6 V2, 272, cast a few “moun tainous” shadows of their own. At guards are freshman redshirt Larry Clarkson (6 -7 V2, 270) and junior Eric Dawald (6 -3 V2, 240). Senior center Craig Mosier (6-4, 245), “could be the best center we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Donovan said. Converted tailback Curt McGinness had the unenviable task of replacing All-American Brian Salonen, but gives UM a new dimension at tight end once he catches the ball. Freshman Brad Salonen (Brian’s brother) is the backup. “We are staying with the sprint draw, sweep, and passing game concepts, so we can once again establish the run-pass game needed to have success and win in the Big Sky Con Fullback Joe Klucewich ference,” Donovan said. “We also will try to give the quarterbacks better protection,” In 1982 Montana won the Big Sky Conference title, with Donovan said. “We’ll split up the offense more to give the Mornhinweg named Associated Press’ All-American quarterbacks a better opportunity to read the defense, with honorable mention and all-league. The previous season Mon hopes that will offset the heavy stunting defenses we had trou tana had a7-3 overall record—the fifth best in school history. ble with in the 1983 season.” “With the return of Marty, Joe Klucewich (fullback), Scott At wide receiver three-year starter Bob McCauley will get Poole (defensive line) and Ned Becker (strong safety) we feel the starting nod at one end, along with Richardson. Juniors the 1984 Grizzlies will be beefed up and pumped up, as far Tony Coe and Scott Moe are solid backups, and redshirt as ability to score and our defensive posture,” Donovan said. freshman Glen Anderson should also see action. Preseason All-American Mornhinweg is the holder of all Donovan said one of his big concerns is the kicking game, of Montana’s passing records, while Klucewich is a very ef “and we think we have to improve not only on the kicker fective blocker and pass-catcher and will shore up what was himself, but also the people who surround and support him.” a problem area last season at UM.

Klucewich caught 23 passes for one TD and rushed for 251 Montana experimented with a slot back in spring football yards and four TDs. and Donovan said that “it should give us a chance to work 10 1984 Outlook: Mornhinweg Returns some of the quality backs with speed that we recruited into defense and keep the opposition’s offense a little off balance our offense and give those players a chance to play right with our total team concept.” away.

You have to play every team every Saturday and play ing either outside linebacker on any given situation. your best. It’s going to be that kind of a league this season.” “There is a total question mark as far as who and how as far as our defensive line is concerned,” Donovan said. “We have players with years, but not a lot of experience.” The Grizzly defensive line racked up more than 300 tackles last year, however only 20 of those tackles are back in form of junior Larry Oliver, who along with Poole will start. Two offensive linemen, Scott Moore and Dave McKenzie were moved to noseguard in the spring and both will play a lot of minutes. UM boasts honors candidates at outside linebacker in Bill Tarrow and in the inside in Jake Trammell. But outside backers Tim Gillis, Kelly Weston, and inside backers Doug Sexe and Rick Dozier need experience. Gregg Green played a lot in 1983 and could start along with Trammell, who was the eighth ranked tackier in the conference last year among backers. “One of the key points on defense is the kicking game and that adds up to field position,” Donovan said. “We need to improve in that area to give our defense a physical and psychological boost.” fXTBALL In the secondary experience returns in cornerback Ted Ray and free safety Scott Timberman. Becker will start at strong and Josh Klucewich and Tim Monterossi are battling it out for the other cornerback slot. Timberman was the 10th ranked tackier in the Big Sky with 67 stops and had two interceptions. He and Ray are honors candidates. Ray led the league in kickoff returns last season with a 22.4-yard average and ranked 20th in the nation. “We feel we have to become a little less predictable on Fifth-year coach Larry Donovan

11 All-American Candidate Marty Mornhinweg As a high school star at San Jose’s Oak Grove High School Morn hinweg was one of the premier players in the State of California. “As a prep Marty Mornhinweg made it clear in everyone’s mind that he was an athlete to be reckoned with at the collegiate level,” Donovan said. “His accolades as a prep including breaking records held by (Pat) Haden and (Steve) Bartowski and that set the stage for what was to come at the University of Montana.” In high school he set three Northern California records and had the second best passing percentage (63.3%) in California history. His Nor thern California records include completions (392), touchdown passes (62) and total TDs (85). During his three years as a starter at Oak Grove his teams went 9-2, 14-1 and 12-1 for a combined record of 35-4. During that span he set 19 records at his school. During his Grizzly career not only has he set all new career standards, but he also has set or shares single season and single game marks. His single season records include completions in a season (140, 1982), most TD pases (12, tie, 1982) and most total yards (1,674, 1982/1,569 passing and 105 rushing). He also is tied for the record of TD passes in one game with four against Montana State in 1982 and four against Eastern Washington in 1980.

As a freshman the 1-AA All-American candidate guided Montana to victory in two of its last three games. In 1981 he led Montana to a 7-3 record—the school’s fifth best in its history. And in 1982 he passed the Grizzlies to a Big Sky Conference championship and their first ever appearance in the national playoffs. Going into his senior year every time he throws a pass or completes a pass he adds to his UM career records. He enters the 1984 season with 309 completions on 527 attempts for a 58.6 passing percentage, 3,630 yards and 22 touchdowns—all career standards. But, the impressive thing about Mornhinweg’s stats are that in 83 years of football at UM, no QB has ever passed for more than 3,000 yards. The previous record was 2,296 yards by Tom Kingsford, 1948-50. “In the terms coaches use to describe winners, the name Marty Mor nhinweg comes to mind,” said head UM coach Larry Donovan. “If there’s time on the clock and he’s in the game, then there’s time to win. “If he wasn’t the quarterback then he’d be the guard or wide receiver, or whatever we needed to win,” Donovan continued. “His determina tion makes up for any size limitations that some say is a factor in col legiate football. I have a strong belief that in my 19 years of college football Marty has contributed as much to our program as any player has to any in America.” Mornhinweg’s passing yardage has increased each season. He had 874 yards in 1980; 1,187 in 1981 and 1,569 in 1982. In 527 attem pts has he thrown only 22 interceptions. “When Marty is in a game he gives confidence to players, coaches and fans, virtually everyone who follows the Grizzlies is confident with him in the lineup,” Donovan said. “His daring, living on-the-edge calibre of play not only provides results, but it also provides an exciting brand of Grizzly football.” For the co-winner (along with Greg Iseman) of UM’s 1982 Carlson award given to the Most Valuable Player, success and winning is nothing new to “Wig.”
