Glanville: QB didn’t lose game

terback Cody Carlson wasn’t single-
handedly responsible for Sunday’s
32-23 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
“There seems to be a lot of ques
tions about Cody today, hut don’t
put the whole loss on Cody,” Glan
ville said. “He didn’t lose it by him
self. We could go to another position
and talk about that too.”
Carlson, starting his fourth game
for the injured Warren Moon, com
pleted 10 of 28 passes and did an
outstanding job of calling audihles,
Glanville said.
The Oilers never could get their
rushing attack under way because
the Eagles kept stacking their de
fense, Glanville said.
“They forced you to go deep and
you had to throw deep and catch it,”
Glanville said. “I thought the quar
terback did a good job of getting us
in the right play.
“They just dare you to throw the
ball deep, and we were just inches
away from some of them.”
Allen Pinkett, the Oilers leading
rusher last week, had onlv three
rushes for 7 yards. Mike Ro/.ier, the
starting running back, gained 20
yards on eight carries.
The Oilers didn’t forget about
their running game; the percentages
just weren’t there, Glanville said.
“They didn’t dictate the plays we
ran, hut nobody in the NFL runs
against a nine-man front,” Glanville
said.
Carlson agonized over the passing
attack.
“I didn’t have a good game." ( Ari
son said. “If there’s a problem with
the passing game, it stalls with the
guy throwing the ball.
“We didn’t have many comple
tions and that’s my fault. But I don’t
plan on having many more of these
(games). It hurts like hell.”
The Oilers took a 16-0 lead after
6:39 of the first quarter on a blocked
punt, a safety and a 1-yard run by
Carlson.
The Oilers didn’t score again until
the fourth quarter, and their lack of

Drugs will be legacy of Seoul Olympics
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) —.
Other Olympics have had more
drug cheats, but none have had one
bigger, and therein lies the legacy of
Seoul.
Ben Johnson’s 9.79-second world
record and gold medal in the 100
meters were wiped out three days
later by a statement that took just
about that long to read.
If the announcement one week
ago that Johnson tested positive for
steroids was short and bittersweet,
the impact will he much longer last
ing, and officials hope sports will
end up cleaner because of it.
“That was indeed a blow,” said
Juan Antonio Samaranch, president
of the International Olympic Com
mittee. “But the IOC must show the
sports world that we are the leader
of the Olympic movement and we
must set the example.
“We do what we say.”
For the last year, Samaranch has
been saying in increasingly harsh
language that drugs must be elimi
nated from sports.
“Doping equals death,” the IOC
president said in his speech three
weeks ago opening the panel’s an
nual meeting. He equated drug us
ers to common criminals and said
the coaches, trainers and doctors
who helped them break the rules
also should be punished.
If drug abuse was the theme of
that speech, it soon became the focus
of the Games.
Starting Sept. 22 with the an
nouncement that weightlifting gold
medalist Mitko Grablev of Bulgaria
and modern pentathlete James Wat
son of Australia had tested positive
for drugs, doctors and lab techni
cians joined athletes as key players in
the Games.
Five days later, with four more
competitors suspended for drug use,
Johnson’s name popped up among
the positive tests.
“The urine sample of Ben John
son (Canada, athletics, 100 meters)
collected on Saturday, the 24th of
September, 1988, was found to con
tain the metabolites of a banned sub
stance, namely stanozolol (anabolic
steroid),” the IOC statement said.
It took committee spokeswoman
Michele Verdier roughly 10 seconds
to read. Its echoes still were f elt after
the Games ended Sunday and were
likely to he bouncing around for a
good while longer.
“I think we can say we have won
the battle against doping,” Sama
ranch said at a news conference the
morning after the Olympic flame
was extinguished. '
He called Johnson “a great cham
pion.” And he said that, while John
son must bear the burden of his mis
take, he was not alone.
“I think I want always to be on the
side of the athlete, and possibly Ben
Johnson was the least to blame for
the affair,” Samaranc/h said. “ I he
big problem might be the people
who surround him.”
This underscored another recent
effort by the IOC in its anti-doping
war. During its annual meeting, the
committee adopted tough penalties
for drug traffickers, which could in
clude lifetime bannishment from the
Games for anyone caught dealing in
banned substances.
While track produced the biggest
name among the dopers — possibly
the biggest name ever caught in a
sports drug sweep — weightlifting
produced the most, with five of the
10 positives reported through Mon
day coming from that sport.
Bulgaria and Hungary withdrew
their weightlifting teams from the
Games after two members of each
squad tested positive, and IOC vice
president Richard Pound said he
would propose expelling weightlift
ing from the Olympics because of
the scandal.
weightlifting, or any sport riddlti
with chugs, would be countem
due live.

Rice ‘QB of future’
moved to DB again
HOUSTON (AP) — Donald Hol
las is still the quarterback of the fu
ture at Rice University, but for the
second year in a row he’s been
moved from quarterback to safety to
help shore up the porous Owl de
fense.
Quentis Roper, who lost the battle
for the start ing quarterback’s job in
preseason drills, was a surprise
starter in Saturday’s game against
the Texas Longhorns and passed for
a career-high 282 yards despite a 20-
13 loss.
Hollas went to a starting safety po
sition, where he helped hold the
Longhorns’ Eric Metcalf to 57 rush
ing yards.
“Coming out of preseason, we felt
Donald was the person who was bet
ter at running odr offense at that
time,” Berndt said Monday. “We felt
our saf eties could get the job done so
we felt better with Donald at quar
terback and putting Quentis in a va
riety of positions.
“It didn’t work out the way I ex
pected.”
The Owls, 0-3, have been getting
trampled defensively, and Hollas
helped slow down the assault.
“I looked at our whole team and I
felt the one thing we were lacking
was someone who could run that al
ley defensively and keep guys from
breaking out on us,” Berndt said.
Although Berndt admits one
player doesn’t completely turn
around a defense, Hollas’ presence
helped.
“There’s one play I can remember
where Donald came up and tackled
Eric Metcalf for a three yard gain,”
Berndt said. “If Donald didn’t make
that play, it could have been a touch
down. That kind of play can turn
around a football team.”
Roper, a senior, threw two touch
down passes, but the Owls likely will
return to more of their option series
the rest of the season.
“I think it showed what we could
do by putting people in the right po
sition,” Roper said. “I relaxed at the
start of the game and just tried to ex
ecute our offense. I tried to keep the
offense up and not let anyone get
their heads down if something went
wrong.”
Hollas, a sophomore, said he’d
been thinking about returning to de
fense even before Berdt told him of
his decision.
“I had been thinking about how
we could better use Quentis’ talents
on offense,” Hollas said. “I truly
thought at the beginning of the year
that Quentis would be best suited at
quarterback. The coaches are just
trying to do what is best for the
team.”
The Owls play at Texas Christian
Saturday, trying to snap a 10-game
losing streak.
UT looking forward
to playing run for once
AUS’I IN (AP) — Texas foot
ball coach David McWilliams
never dreamed he would look
forward to playing Oklahoma.
But this year, Texas has given
up 306 yards a game passing and
the Longhorn defense seems bet
ter at stopping the run. And
when it comes to grinding out
yardage on the ground, there has
been none better than Oklahoma.
“It’ll be a nice test for our de
fensive line to see if they really
are that good,” McWilliams said
Monday at his weekly news con
ference.
Texas leads the nation in rush
defense, allowing only 37.3 yards
per game.
“We really haven’t had an op
tion team like we’re fixing to see,
but I think we should hold up all
right,” McWilliams said.
“They (the Sooners) make you
make mistakes,” McWilliams said.
“You may stop them once, but
they’re going to come right hack
and do the same thing again. . . .
They’re going to make you run it
correctly.”
Both teams enter the annual
battle at Dallas with 3-1 records
for the First time in 20 years. The
Sooners dumped Iowa State 35-7
ou Saturday, with then only set
back a 23-7 loss to No. 3-ranktd
Southern California.
Oklahoma, which defeated
Texas 44-9 last year, enters the
game with six runners withal
least 100 yards rushing. Of their
1,017 total yardage, 405 of it is
through the air.
1 lowever, McWilliams believes
that even the Sooners will put the
ball up more against Texas'
young defensive backfleld.
“It will probably be earlyinthe
game,” he said.
“When they are marching the
hall downfield, that’s when they
are most dangerous with the
pass,” McWilliams said. “When
they continue to get firstdownaf-
ter first down, that’s when they
sting you with a play-action pass.
“A lot of people are saying that
Oklahoma is down this year,"Mr-
Williams said. “But I don’t see
much dif ference from the tea®
they have had in the past.”
The Longhorn offense had
been barely good enough to win
and McWilliams is still lookingfor
a game when everything clicks.
“We really haven’t had a game
yet where everything has h®
smoothly,” he said.

possible by a strategy that suits the
unit well — to play reckless and get
after the quarterback.
“Last year, we didn’t go after
(Tolliver),” Sherrill said. “We sat
back and played zone a lot and
dropped (linebacker John) Roper
off. Today we got after him.”
Did they ever.
The Aggie defense sacked
Tolliver seven times for losses total
ling 67 yards. Outside linebacker
Aaron Wallace joined Cole with
three quarterback sacks and Roper
added one more.
“Several times, we got pressure
with a four-man rush,” Slocum said.
“We didn’t have to have an all-out
blitz (to pressure the passer).”
The defensive line stuffed the
Raider running attack by stopping
the sprint draw play Tech used ef
fectively in last year’s upset.
Tech gained only 60 yards on 36
carries for the game and could mus
ter only 207 yards of total offense
while averaging only 3.2 yards per
offensive play. The ouptut was the
lowest for a Tech team since the
Southern Methodist game of 1985.
Sherrill said the defense had two
main objectives and met both of
them.
“Defensively, we had to do two
things,” Sherrill said. “Stop the draw
and stop the screen. Our players did
a good job on both.”
Slocum agreed with Sherrill and
added that the intensity of the entire
team was another factor helping the
defense.
“We needed to start playing in our
style,” Slocum said. “When we don’t
play with peak intensity we’re very
average. We looked more like us to
day. Kyle Field had a lot to do with
it.”
Cole’s sacks were the first three of
his career and the only sacks by the
defensive line in the game.
“This game was our best pass
rushing game,” Cole said.
Although it is only one game of
twelve, the win over Tech was a
meaningful one for the Aggie de
fense and the team as a whole. A&M
is trying to recover from a disastrous
opening month of September that
saw obstacles on and off the Field
lead A&M to its first 0-3 start in 2 1
years.
Slocum said that, while the win
was a valuable one, the team ]
hasn’t solved all its problemsand^
a long way to go before becoming
team comparable with the conk 1
ence champions of the past!'
years.
“We don’t have all of our pm-
lems canceled out, but it’s a ^
start,” Slocum said.
Cole feels the team is on the"-
to getting where it wants to be W
feels the team has become closer k
cause of a talk by Sherrill then$
before the game.
“We talked about weak link-
Cole said. “There’s supposedtolx 1
chain holding us together. WecaiX
together as a team and wefela
better about ourselves as a team
