Horn, Opet Pace Offense
As 100th Season Opens
Starting quarterback Marty
Horn and reserve tailback Steve
Opet supplied most of the offensive fireworks last Saturday as
Lehigh opened its 100th season
of football with a decisive victory over Northeastern before
9,000 at Taylor Stadium, 38-10.
Horn, a sophomore from
Short Hills, NJ, completed 10 of
19 passes for 137 yards and two
touchdowns. Opet, a senior
from Tamaqua, PA, carried the
ball 14 times for 122 yards and a
touchdown, and caught a scoring pass.
The Engineers, who had to
wait until their fifth game in
1982 before getting a victory,
made sure there'd be no delay in
1983. They scored the first three
times they handled the ball, for
a 21-0 advantage, and Northeastern never could get into the
game.
Touchdown No. 1 came on a
58-yard drive featuring Horn's
passing and a couple of key runs
by fullback Doug Ertz and tailback Peter Schreck, both of
West Lawn, PA. Horn fired the
last 10 yards to tight end Jeff
Hunt, of Nazareth, PA, for the
points.
The second Engineer TD
came on a six-play, 41-yard
march after tackle Wayne Kasbar of Summit, NJ, pounced on
a Northeastern fumble. Schreck
skirted left end on a 12-yard
scoring jaunt to make it 14-0 one
play after Dominic LaSelva of
Pottsville, PA, made a spectacular catch of a Horn aerial.
Touchdown No. 3 followed on
another 58-yard drive with Opet
turning in the key ground yardage and the score coming on a
16-yard toss from Horn to split
end Rennie Benn, also of Short
Hills, NJ. With 3:16 still left in
the first period the Engineers
had a 21-0 edge.
Lehigh didn't score again
until late in the third stanza, on
a 22-yard field goal by Jim Scott
of Boonsboro, MD, who converted after every touchdown.
In the fourth quarter Opet
grabbed a 17-yard TD pass from
reserve quarterback Tony
Semler, of Allentown, PA, and
