THE COACHES
Indiana's Cam Cameron: Head coach Cam Cameron enters his third
season at the Indiana helm. He is widely regarded as one of the finest young
coaches in the game. Cameron began his career at the University of Michigan
where he spent eight years as an assistant coach after joining the Wolverines
in 1984 as a graduate assistant. From 1994-96, Cameron spent three seasons
as the quarterbacks coach of the Washington Redskins. While at Michigan
and Washington, Cameron was credited for the development of quarterbacks
Jim Harbaugh, Elvis Grbac, Todd Collins, Gus Frerotte, and Trent Green.
Prior to joining the University of Michigan staff, Cameron (2/6/61) played
both basketball and football at Indiana University. He prepped at Terre
Haute (Ind.) South High School.
Cameron and his wife, Missy, have three children: Tommy, Danny, and Christopher.
North Carolina's Carl Torbush: Entering his second full season
as the head football coach at North Carolina is 47-year-old Carl Torbush.
In 1998, Torbush led the Tar Heels to a 7-5 record, including a 20-13 victory
over San Diego State in the Las Vegas Bowl. In addition to his head coaching
duties, Torbush continues to serve as the Tar Heels' defensive coordinator.
As an assistant, he was the architect of UNC's defense that led the Atlantic
Coast Conference in total defense in 1995, 1996, and 1997 and was among
the top five in the nation in every category in 1996 and 1997.
The East Spencer, N.C., native took over the UNC program in December
of 1997 and guided the Tar Heels to a 42-3 victory over Virginia Tech in
the Gator Bowl the following New Year's Day. In 1996, Torbush was named
the National Defensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Quarterly.
Torbush began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Baylor in
1975. He went on to work as an assistant coach at SE Louisiana (1976-79),
Louisiana Tech (1980-82), and Mississippi (1983-86). He spent one season
(1987) as the head coach at Louisiana Tech before becoming the defensive
coordinator at North Carolina in 1988.

THE INDIANA-UNC SERIES
Indiana and North Carolina have met only one time previously, a 23-6
win by North Carolina in Chapel Hill on September 6, 1997.
The Cam Cameron era at Indiana opened on September 6, 1997, with a stern
test ­­ a trip to Chapel Hill, N.C., for a meeting with the 7th-ranked
North Carolina Tar Heels. A solid effort by the defense, led by first-year
defensive coordinator Jon Heacock, kept the Hoosiers in the game, however,
the Tar Heels managed to pull away late in the second half to post a 23-6
win before a then-Kenan Stadium record crowd of 57,800.
Indiana struck first. Senior captain FS Kywin Supernaw intercepted 1996
first-team All-ACC QB Chris Keldorf (22-11-159-2TD-3INT) on the Tar Heels'
first drive of the game and returned the ball to the North Carolina 18-yard
line. Eight plays later, redshirt freshman K Andy Payne, who had won the
placekicking job during pregame warmups, connected on a 35-yard FG to give
IU a 3-0 lead. North Carolina answered back on the second play of the second
quarter when senior RB Jonathan Linton (22-121-1TD-17LG) scored on a 3rd-n-goal
from the IU one-yard line to give the Heels the lead, 7-3.
After a 22-yard field goal by North Carolina K Josh McGee increased the
Heels' lead to 10-3, Indiana QB Jay Rodgers (23-12-53-1INT) was intercepted
by All-America CB Dre' Bly on the first play of the Hoosiers' initial second-half
drive. Bly returned the ball to the IU-26 and Keldorf connected with WR
Octavus Barnes on a 26-yard scoring strike just one play later to up the
UNC lead to 17-3.
On the ensuing drive, Cameron used the "shoestring play" to
get Indiana back on the board. While it looked as if Rodgers was trying
to tie his shoe near the North Carolina sideline, Indiana huddled on the
line of scrimmage and freshman WR O.J. Conner snapped the ball directly
to sophomore RB Jason Spear (29-120-53LG) and Spear went 53 yards to the
UNC-16 before being pushed out of bounds. Payne would add his second field
goal of the day, this time a 32-yard boot, to bring the Hoosiers to within
17-6 with 2:36 remaining in the third quarter.
Despite Indiana converting on 4-of-6 fourth-down attempts on the day,
Carolina would add one additional late touchdown to seal the victory.

QUOTABLE
Head coach Cam Cameron on Indiana's 21-9 victory over Ball State: "That's
the first time I can remember since we came here that we didn't play anywhere
near as well as we're capable of, but still won the game. Maybe I'm being
a little tough in my evaluation in that we still gained nearly 400 yards
(371, averaging 6.6 per play) in just 26 minutes of possession time. That's
not a bad yardage total for 52 snaps. We just really didn't have the ball
all that much. To Ball State's credit, they did a very good job with the
short-passing game and possessed the ball well (33:37).''
Cameron on QB Antwaan Randle El's performance vs. Ball State and on his first touchdown pass of the game: "That post route was about as good a throw as you'll see. That was a heck of a play. Maybe we're spoiled. Antwaan threw for a couple (of TDs), ran for one, gave us about 300 yards of production, running and passing, and it looked like he had a bad night. He wasn't bad. But I think he'd be the first to tell you he wasn't satisfied with his performance."
Cameron on the play of junior wide receiver Versie Gaddis: "Versie has worked extremely hard, and it was good to see him do well tonight. He's been through a lot. And when defenses are over-committing - like the sort of nine-man front, geared to stop the run, we saw at times tonight - you do want to be able to go deep with the pass and make the defense pay."
Gaddis on his performance vs. Ball State: "It felt good. My career hasn't really gone the way I'd hoped, and I just needed to come out and prove to myself and to the team that I'm back from the injury and ready to contribute. It was good to be able to contribute to a win tonight. I know we can play a lot better, though, and that I can. I don't know if I can be the 'go-to' receiver, or whatever - I just want to contribute what I can, to play the best I can."
Randle El on his performance vs. Ball State: "Terrible. I missed some big plays out there that could have really broken the game open."
BSU coach Bill Lynch on Randle El: "I'm not even sure what coverage we were in (on the 81-yarder) but there aren't many guys who make those kinds of plays. Antwaan is one of those guys. Every time they need a play, he makes a play."
Cameron on the possibility of QB Antwaan Randle El playing another position: "He is our quarterback, period. The idea that he is going to play another position stemmed from his unselfishness. He made a statement to someone that he'd play wherever he needed to play to help us win. He can do all of those things and we've had him do that. I think we need to see a threat on every play. It'll be nice to watch the young [quarterbacks] come along and if they're good enough then we might find a way to get them in there. But, Antwaan is our quarterback."
Cameron on Randle El: "Antwaan is one of those unique players. All that charisma is fine, but you've still got to be able to play. The great thing is that he steps on the field with that same personality and enhances our ability to win football games. And people are drawn to that. Sometimes you see charismatic guys like him who aren't really quite as talented, or you see a great player who doesn't really have the charisma. I think we all really enjoy the players who have both."
Cameron on making big step forward in 1999: "I think that we will take a big step, there is no question in my mind. How that is measured in wins and losses will be the final analysis. This team has already taken a big step in everything we are doing and now we have to transfer that to the football field. Every year your schedule changes and that's the difficult thing at times to measure."
Randle El on his attitude: "My personality is never going to change. My attitude is always about the same. I'm outgoing. I'm a little bigger and stronger, but I have not lost any speed with the added weight. That's about the only thing that is different."
Randle El on the national media attention he has received: "I enjoy all of this because I'm just blessed and a lot of people don't get this far at all. Now that I have, I want to make the most of it. It's something you want to do, no matter what. Autographs, whatever. How many kids grow up and someone wants their autograph? I love it. I like this, too, giving out information to you guys because you know you want it right, ha ha."
Senior defensive end Adewale Ogunleye on returning to Indiana: "I did talk to key people from the NFL personnel department. They just tell you how much they think about you. They ask if you're a talented person and if an extra year might do you some good. I have not really sat down with a scout to tell me what I need to improve upon. I think the best person for that is Coach Cam because he was in the NFL and he would tell me exactly what I need to do."
