Holtz Back On Sidelines

Tue., Sept. 19, 1995

Compiled From Wire Services

Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz was back at practice in South Bend, Ind., six days after having spinal surgery.

A neck brace was the only visible sign of Holtz’s health problems. He pulled up to practice in his golf cart as usual, occasionally getting out when he saw a player doing something he didn’t like.

In Knoxville, Tenn., Nilo Silvan, a starting wide receiver for Tennessee and ranked among the nation’s leaders in kickoff returns, was arrested for allegedly raping a roommate’s 17-year-old girlfriend.

In Vista, Calif., San Diego State running back Markeith Ross was sent to jail until Dec. 19 for violating probation and will miss the rest of the season.
