In addition to having his name engraved on a plaque in the weightroom, Gizzi s picture is hung alongside such notable recipients of this award as the Dallas Cowboys Chad Hennings and the Denver Broncos Steve Russ.<br>OF BRAWN AND BRAINS<br><br>The Air Force Academy football program is a source of pride for the Academy and the entire Air Force, and has enjoyed a long tradition of winning. Although the team is noted for the  wishbone turned flexbone offense, it is also noted to have a stubborn defense. Says Defensive Coordinator Cal McCombs, who has been with the team for 14 years,  I think that in any defensive football team you have to have linebackers who are making a lot of tackles. When your secondary is making too many tackles, or when your defensive linemen are making too many tackles, you re in trouble. <br>To make those tackles, linebackers have to be among your best athletes and best players.  Gizzi s got a tremendous work ethic year round, not just during football season, says McCombs.  He is a better player due to his weight training because he s become bigger, he s become faster and he s become stronger, says McCombs.  He s what I call  a student of the game. Gizzi studies football he s football smart. You tell him you want him to look for something, or you want him to play someone a certain way, and he locks in and studies the film until he makes sure he knows what s going to happen to him on every single play. <br>The fact that Gizzi listens and learns from his coaches should come as no surprise. He s been doing it his entire life. His father, Alfred Gizzi, is on the coaching staff at Baldwin Wallace College, a Division III school in Ohio.<br>Gizzi s also mentally tough. During preseason practice he got a cut on the bridge of the nose.  It s been a mess, says Gizzi.  It was just a little cut that started the second week of August, the first day of hitting, and from then on it was kind of dormant for a while, then it exploded and it s been bleeding all over me during the game. Right now there are 20 internal and external stitches; my total is getting close to 80. <br>Jim Conboy has been the head athletic trainer of the Academy since 1955, and he explained why the cut has been such a problem.  It s hard to stop these cuts when you get them under the helmet, says Conboy.  The trouble is you can t put anything over the cut without affecting the vision we ve tried many things, and we re still trying. Of course, if he didn t play against CSU we could have taken the stitches out, but I d hate to have been the guy who would have to tell Gizzi he couldn t play! <br>In his 42 years with the team Conboy has seen many great football players, and he gives Gizzi the highest praise.  He s one of the best ever, and fits the mold of all the good ones we ve had. McCombs agrees,  We ve been fortunate around here to have had many great linebackers Terry Maki, Steve Russ, Brian Hill and Gizzi is right in there he s one of those great linebackers. <br>Although he has certainly earned the respect of his coaches and teammates, it wasn t always that way.
