A lack of qualified and healthy personnel could preclude a quick fix for a defense that yielded 530 yards, however. The Longhorns have two weeks to work, though. Their next game is Sept. 18 at home against No. 6 Syracuse. The Longhorns gained 508 yards at Col orado, including 347 from the arm of redshirt freshman quarterback Shea Morenz. But Morenz, making his first start for Texas, threw four interceptions and lost a fumble, account ing for five of the Longhorns' six turnovers. "To be fair, for a redshirt freshman (start ing) his first game against a very good team, 1 thought he did well," Mackovic said Monday. "I don't know if I could have asked him to play much better. I think he could have pre vented some of those interceptions, but I don't think some other guys could have made some of those completions. Shea will improve his reads." Morenz hit on 23 of 42 passes, one comple tion short of the school record set last season by Peter Gardere against Southern Methodist. Morenz's 347 yards passing were 12 fewer than Todd Dodge's Texas record set in 1985 against Rice. Sophomore wide receivers Lovell Pinkney and Mike Adams combined for 10 receptions and 239 yards. Cornerback Chris Hudson intercepted two passes for Colorado, returning one 21 yards for a touchdown. Mackovic said Hudson ran with the Long horn receivers and then slipped underneath to make the interceptions, a tight brand of cover age he told Morenz about during preparations for the game. "But you are talking about a redshirt fresh man quarterback," Mackovic said. "He's a guy getting thousands of pieces of information." Texas might be without starting left tackle Troy Riemer against Syracuse. Riemer is ques tionable with a dislocated toe. As for the defense, Texas had only one sack, by freshman Tony Brackens, and missed nu merous tackles. The Longhorns allowed 270 yards rushing and 260 passing, prompting Mackovic to say, "I don't know what to build on. We didn't play well against the run or the pass. As a unit, I thought our front seven played below what we need to control the line of scrimmage." Starting middle linebacker Winfred Tubbs, a preseason all-American candidate who missed most of training camp after cutting a tendon in his wrist while opening a window, was in for 17 plays Saturday. Mackovic said Tubbs might start against Syracuse. Chris Rapp, who started in place of Tubbs, was credited with one tackle. Syracuse should provide another struggle for the Long horns defense. Quarterback Marvin Graves was rated the second-best passer in Division I- A last year, and he is also adept at running the option. Syracuse has an all-American candi date at wide receiver, Shelby Hill. Gonzalez, Bagwell power past Mets as 'Stros roll, 7-2 The Associated Press HOUSTON — Luis Gonzalez tied his career high with five RBIs and Pete Harnisch pitched four- hit balls over seven innings for his career-best 13th victory as the Houston Astros beat the New York Mets 7-2 Monday. Gonzalez hit a two-run double in the sixth off Pete Schourek and a three-run homer in the eighth off Mauro Gozzo. Gonzalez also drove in five runs on July 3, 1991, at San Francisco. Harnisch (13-8) struck out five, walked three, beating the Mets for the second time in seven days and the third time this year. He is 4-0 against New York in his career. Sid Fernandez (3-6), who has lost three of his last four decisions, left after five innings with sore ness in his left shoulder. He al lowed two runs and three hits, struck out four and walked one. New York has lost four straight and six of seven. Houston, which has won nine of 10 against the Mets this year, went ahead 2-0 in the first. Mets rookie Jeromy Burntiz opened the second inning with his 10th home run, his second off Harnisch. The Astros added a pair of runs in the sixth on a two-out, two-run double by Gonzalez off Pete Schourek. Anthony had reached on a fielder's choice and Caminiti had walked. Gonzalez hit his career-best 14th home run of the season in the eighth. He hit 13 in 1991. Bagwell is the first Houston player to hit 20 homers in a season since 1990, when Franklin Stubbs hit 23 and Glen Davis hit 22. 4- WORK SMARTER. NOT HARDER. W e’re working smarter, too.
