Freshman D’Wayne Tanner hit
two free throws with four seconds
left in the game to lift the Rice Owls
to a stunning 69-67 upset of the
Texas Aggies Wednesday night at
Autry Court in Houston.
A&M’s Todd Holloway tied the
game with a 3-point shot at 67-67
with 33 seconds left. But the Owls
worked the clock down to eight sec
onds and called timeout. When play
resumed, Tanner attempted a jump
shot at the free-throw line when
Keron Graves fouled him, thus
sending the freshman to the line.
The Aggies had a final attempt at
the win as Holloway was able to get
off a 3-pointer that bounced off the
front of the rim as the buzzer
sounded.
The Loss dropped A&M’s record
to 4-2 in conference play and 12-5
overall. Rice picked up its first
Southwest Conference win to up its
SWC record to 1-5 and overall mark
to 7-10. It was Rice’s first win over
A&M since 1973.
“Rice outplayed us,” A&M Coach
Shelby Metcalf said. “It’s obvious
we’ve played better, but you can’t
take anything away from Rice.”
“We just had poor intensity to
night,” he said.
Rice built its largest lead with
12:06 left at 57-41 and had a 12-
point lead on the Aggies with 4:25
left to go.

Broncos know running the ball
is key to success against Giants
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The quickness and deception more than been working out with a husd
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — The
New York Giants are confident they
can run the ball on the Denver Bron
cos. The Broncos hope they can run
on the Giants.
In other words, if Sunday’s Super
Bowl turns into a ground war, the
Giants have a big edge.
The Broncos, 9-point underdogs
in the NFL championship game,
have spent the week talking about
having to establish the run to keep
the pressure of the Giants menacing
front seven off John Elway. As
Coach Dan Reeves puts it:
“If John is forced to throw 50 or
60 times, we’re going to be in trou
ble.”
The Broncos were the ninth worst
team in the NFL at running the ball;
the Giants were the best at stopping
the run. Joe Morris’ 1,516 yards, sec
ond best in the NFL, was 362 yards
better than the combined total of the
Broncos’ two best backs — Sammy
Winder and and Gerald Willhite.
Moreover, the Giants were not
enthralled with their rushing perfor
mance in the first meeting between
the teams, a 19-16 New York win
Nov. 23, although Morris gained
106 yards in 23 carries.
The Broncos don’t seem as confi
dent about running as the Giants do.
“Joe Morris is a friend of mine
and a great running back,” Willhite
says. “I think fin just as good as Joe,
and Sammy thinks he’s just as good
... But Joe thinks he’s better than
anyone.”
The Giants’ offensive scheme is
simple and no secret: run Morris un
til the Broncos show they can stop
him and use the running to set up
Phil Simms’ passing.
The Broncos, meanwhile, use
quickness and deception more than
brute force to stop the run — Los
Angeles Raiders Coach Tom Flores
says they might use 25 different de
fensive fronts in a 60-play game.
They may shift two or three times
before the ball is snapped.
“We’re trying to simplify things
from what we did the last time,” says
New York center Bart Oates.

“I think we reacted too much then
to what they were doing. We may
have spent too much time adjusting
the last time instead of concentrating
on blocking our man.”
“The movement can cause some
blocking problems,” says Ron Ehr-
hardt, the Chants’ offensive coordi
nator. “But you’ve just got to make
sure you’ve got the right people
blocking the right people on their
side.”
Some of New York’s power comes
from fullback Maurice Carthon and
tight end Mark Bavaro, each one of
the best blockers at his position in
the league.
The 5-foot-7 Morris, meanwhile,
has the ability to hide behind the
front, then use his quickness to cut
inside the defense. To counteract
that, the Denver linebackers have
