Big Bowl Teams Named
With Notre Dame, Ohio State,
Tennessee and seven other teams
accepting bowl bids over the weekend,
the three big puzzlers remaining
are - if, when and who.
Despite losing 3-0 to second-ranked
Notre Dame on Saturday,
seventh-ranked Louisiana State will
go to the Orange Bowl against
Nebraska . . if the Tigers win their
two remaining games against Tulane
and Mississippi.
The Associated Press learned
that the Peach Bowl has invited
Georgia to be the host team . . . if
the Bulldogs beat Georgia Tech. If
they lose, it will be North Carolina,
with possibly Colorado or Arizona
State as the visiting team.
Meanwhile, ninth-ranked
Arizona State. 9-0 following a
33-21 victory over New Mexico for
the Western Athletic Conference
title, was wondering when a bid
would be forthcoming. The team
voted Sunday to accept a bid to
any bowl and then Coach Frank
Kush, with no game this Saturday,
took off for a day or two of fishing.
Unbeaten Notre Dame chose a
return trip to the Cotton Bowl
Sunday to meet the Texas-Arkansas
winner. The fighting Irish also had a
bid from the Orange Bowl, which
apparently will invite the Texas-Arkansas
loser if LSU doesn't come
through.
"It was difficult for our youngsters
to make a decision based on
what might happen," said Notre
Dame's Ara Parseghian, "but they
would like to be playing for the
national championship. That would
be ideal."
