re: Old Timer CB Duos: Burrell-Teal in '78 or Daniel-Britt in '82?

LSU has one particular star, Tailback Charles Alexander. He stands 6'1", weighs 214 and hails from Galveston, Texas. He runs fast (4.35 for the 40) and often (28.3 attempts per game). He blocks, he catches passes and he is so modestly team-oriented that he avoids talk of his achievements. But if LSU is to improve on last year's 8-3 record, Coach Charlie McClendon is going to have to have better passing to take the burden off his Heisman candidate. He also requires rapid development on defense.

After two knee operations and a redshirt season, senior Cornerback Clinton Burrell could be McClendon's anchor in the secondary. Willie Teal and Chris Williams, who combined for 81 tackles last season, should do much to steady the Tigers at free safety and cornerback.

At quarterback McClendon finds himself with two talented juniors of sharply differing styles. David Woodley is a runner with 4.6 speed who had an excellent spring; Steve Ensminger is a passer who missed spring practice with an ankle injury. Considering the need for passing, Ensminger, if healthy, should be McClendon's starter.
