The 1974 season for the Cougar football team can be summed up in three words: more or less. When the season began, less was expected of the Cougars than in the past. The tremendous loss by gradua- tion, the retirement of two coaches, and the adjustment to a new system were supposed to give Cougar fans less than they expected. But, when all the shouting was over and the last of the gear was checked in the team had the most successful season in their short history. Innovation was the secret to the Cougar's success. Two young coaches filled the spots left by the retirement of Bill Carlson and Erm Rasmusson. LeRoy Dreier took over head coaching and backfield duties while Chuck Deuth kept the receivers in line. Coaches Jerry Suttle and Dave An- trim moved up to the varsity level Football coaching the defensive backs and the line respectively. A new offense and defense came with the coaching changes. With the success brought about by these innovations, the Cougars gar- nered more journalistic recognition than before. When the final football rankings were released the team was rated as the third best team in 4-A, and the eighth best team overall. The state game of the week proved to be the highlight of a fine season. The underdog Cougars defeated the eventual state champs Manhattan, 13-7, and won what they called a fic- ticious state championship. Coach Dreier and his coaching staff kept enthusiasm high and by so doing kept the Cougars on the winning track. The early season so-so attitude toward the '74 Cougars soon changed to one of respect and admiration. Q I K J 5 . cf- , . . ,M ag, Y Ar li 3 r N, fi .,., . -H? X il 4-'B 'tg J T 1-1 'YK S ,H
