sports Battalion/Page II October 28,1 Holtz wary of winless Owls’ state of mind this weekend United Press International LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas coach Lou Holtz said preparations for Saturday’s clash with winless Rice were no different than getting ready for any other opponent. “It hasn’t been different than any other week,” Holtz said Wednesday. “They’re not an 0-7 team on film. On film, they’re a pretty good football team and they have a very good kicking game.” WARM-UPS 20% OFF ‘Entire Stock Not Included Locker Room SPORTSHOtS UNLIMITED'' 822-Villa Maria • Open Mon.-Sot. 9:30-6 (Acrou from Manor Eait Mall) 779-9484 Holtz told reporters in a tele phone conference call that his undefeated and 5th-ranked Razorbacks consider Rice another important Southwest Conference foe. Last week, Arkansas overwhelmed Hous ton 38-3 for its third SWC vic tory. Rice coach Ray Alborn said Wednesday his team’s goal for the season had become a simple one — to win a football game. The Owls, coming off a 49-7 loss to Texas A&M, travel to Fayetteville Saturday and will attempt an upset. Alborn said future games scheduled were of little concern to him now. “I’m not looking beyond Arkansas,” he said after being asked about Rice taking on the Razorbacks and SMU in con secutive weeks. SML', which plays A&M Saturday, currently is undefeated and ranked 4th in the nation. Holtz said his team, too, was not looking beyond Saturday’s opponent. He said comparing is useless because “a football team is different one week to the next." Holtz said that by die time most teams reach November, they either are trying to go somewhere or are trying to keep someone else from going somewhere. “Their players also know they have something to achieve,” Holtz, said, suspecting some of the Owls may be thinking, “Let’s go up there and do something we can tell our grandchildren about.” Alborn described Arkansas as game. Holtz said Rice is in a transi tion of becoming more of a rushing team with new starting quarterback Doug Johnson, who replaced Michael Calhoun, the starter in the Owls’ first four games. “Doug Johnson is probably one of the most powerful run ning quarterbacks we’ve faced," Holtz said, noting Johnson makes up for a lack of quickness with strong running and pas sing. Alborn said: “We re either going to get better or we're going to get worse. We re not going to stay the same. Out foot ball team has got to get better.” Sunday, Octoher 31 ir*r Vcr for Htc itccuGMipn! Costume Contest Come by anytime from 11:00 a.m. during Brunch until we close Sunday night.

Their team speed and mobility are awesome.” Describing Arkansas running back-wide receiver Gary Ander son, Alborn said: “He frightens me just to look at him. 1 think he may be the best all-purpose back in the league.” Anderson this season has gained 120 yards rushing and 208 yards re ceiving. Alborn said his Owls would “mix it up” on offense Saturday, combining the run and pass against the Arkansas defense that leads the nation in fewest points allowed per game and allows only about 250 yards each / JUST I&A/0KE ' TV...

Their record through eight undefeated games depicts the track meet they seem to hold even Friday. They are, simply, a storm of offense — thunder and lightning. The thunder is a Maverick ground game that has rumbled to 2,543 yards this season for an average of 318 yards per game. The lightning is all-state quarterback |av I less who has passed for 1,521 yards — an average of 190 yards per game — and 17 touchdowns, bring ing hs varsity career total to 43 in three seasons. The combination has meant a downpour of points and a No. 1 ranking in the L’nited Press International Class 2A high school football poll. Through eight games, the Mavericks nave- totaled 378 points for an average of just over 17 pet game. Opponents have scored 26 — an average of just over 3 per game. Eastland has engineered routs of 69-0 and 62-0. Rodney Hess, head coach and the quarter back's father, guides a sleek scoring mac hine — and an experienced one. “We don’t have just real great speed, hut we’ve got real good football speed," I le ss said. “All 1 1 of out starters look like ends and backs.
