Dykes: Tech win
big in many ways
LUBBOCK (AP) — Texas Tech’s 33-
32 victory over Texas was just about as
big as they come, Red Raider coach
Spike Dykes said Monday.
There was a big crowd — at 49,682,
the largest at Jones Stadium since a 28-
27 loss to Texas A&M in 1985.
There was a big grudge — so big that
Tech Athletic Director T. Jones asked
that a tarp be stretched over the visitors’
ramp onto the field to protect Texas
coach David McWilliams, who angered
Tech fans by taking the head job at Texas
after just one year in Lubbock.
There were big plays — the biggest
with 2:36 remaining when Tech quar
terback Billy Joe Tolliver connected
with Eddie Anderson on a 46-yard pass,
then hit Travis Price in the end zone for a
2-point conversion that won the game.
“I guess somewhere, nestled in be
tween the crowd, and David McWilliams
and the tarp, and all that there was a heck
of a football game out there Saturday by
a bunch of kids that really did a great
job,” Dykes said.
Down by 17 points going into the
fourth quarter, Tech scored 18 points in
the final period to hand the Longhorns
their third consecutive loss, dropping
them to 3-4 overall and 2-1 in the South
west Conference.
The victory gave the Red Raiders, 3-4
and 3-2. a two-game winning streak
going into Saturday’s game at Texas
Christian.
Tech adjusted both its offense and de
fense, going to a 3-4 alignment from the
usual 4-3, to beat Texas in a game
marked by sloppy play from both teams.
After a third quarter in which Texas
racked up 18 unanswered points on scor
ing drives of 58, 37 and 19 yards, Tech
gave Tolliver’s arm a rest in favor of a
running game led by reserve I-back Clif
ton Winston, who had five carries for 33
yards to lead an 80-yard scoring drive in
the fourth quarter.
“Cliff had a big impact on that foot
ball game,” Dykes said. “He recharged
our battery, and his presence was
needed, to say the least.”
Dykes also praised the play of kicker
Scott Segrist, who was 4-4 on field-goal
attempts, including a crucial 47-yard at
tempt with 6:17 remaining.
“I thought Scott Segrist answered the
bell very well,” said Dykes. “He’s had a
disappointing season up to this stage and
I feel like he got his business together
and did a great job. ”
The next task, said Dykes, is prepar
ing for TCU, 4-4 and 2-2, and that game
won’t be an easy one.
“We’re going to play a team that
hasn’t lost at home, and we’re not the
best road team in the world,” he said.
Bruins falter in poll
as Irish, USC advance
Associated Press
For the first time since 1981, the Fight
ing Irish of Notre Dame are on top of the
college football world.
And since Monday’s Associated Press
poll finds Southern California right be
hind Notre Dame, it sets up what would
be the 24th meeting between No. 1 and
No. 2 when they meet on Nov. 26 in the
Los Angeles Coliseum.
Before that can happen, however,
Notre Dame, 8-0, must defeat Rice on
Saturday and Penn State on Nov. 19
while Southern Cal, 7-0, has to beat Cal
ifornia, Arizona State and UCLA, the
former No. 1 team, which slipped to
sixth in the wake of Saturday’s 34-30 up
set at the hands of Washington State.
Notre Dame, a 22-7 winner over
Navy, received 44 of 58 first-place votes
and 1,144 of a possible 1,160 points
from a nationwide panel of sports writers
and sportscasters. The Irish had been
second behind UCLA the past two
weeks. Southern Cal, a 41-20 winner
over Oregon State, received 11 first-
place votes and 1,097 points in climbing
from third place to second.
Since the AP poll began in 1936,
Notre Dame has won seven national
championships, more than any other
school. But the Irish haven’t won a na
tional championship since 1977 and were
last ranked No. 1 after opening the 1981
season with a 27-9 victory over LSU.
Notre Dame lost to Michigan 25-7 the
following week and hasn’t been higher
than fourth until two weeks ago.
Notre Dame became the fourth team to
be ranked No. 1 this season. Florida
State was No. 1 in the preseason poll but
lost its opener to Miami 31-0. Miami be
came No. 1 for six weeks before losing
at Notre Dame 31-30. UCLA was No. 1
for two weeks.
Although the Top Ten in this week’s
poll are the same 10 teams as last week,
there was considerable shuffling.
Miami’s defending national cham
pions moved from fourth place to third
with one first-place vote and 1,041
points following a 31-7 triumph over
East Carolina.
West Virginia leaped from seventh to
fourth by routing Penn State 51-30. The
Mountaineers, 8-0 for the first time in
their 97-year football history, received
the other two first-place votes and 950
points. West Virginia was as high as No.
4 twice during the 1983 season.
Florida State was idle but rose from
sixth to fifth with 886 points, followed
by UCLA with 847 points. Nebraska
dropped from fifth to seventh with 835
points after struggling past Missouri 26-
18.
Oklahoma trounced Kansas 63-14 and
held onto eighth place with 739 points,
Auburn blanked Florida 16-0 for its third
straight shutout and remained No. 9 with
715 points and Wyoming is again 10th
with 658 points after routing Colorado
State 48-14.

Mesquite QB makes
big payback to rivals
MESQUITE (AP) — Jeff Hantes was
Mesquite’s starting quarterback when the
team suffered a 63-14 rout by rival North
Mesquite and lost a chance at the play
offs in the final game of last season.
Whenever he would run into North
Mesquite players during the summer, he
heard about that game.
“If you bring up football,” Hantes
said, “they bring up 63-14. What can
you say? You’re just left speechless.”
Hantes had a year to compose a re
sponse, one he displayed eloquently last
weekend. Hantes, a 5-9, 175-pound se
nior, rushed 15 times for 181 yards and
three touchdowns and completed 18 of
25 passes for 247 yards and another
touchdown.
Hantes led Mesquite to a 34-27 victory
that knocked North Mesquite from the
District 9-5A playoff race.
Thanks to Hantes, Mesquite can make
the playoffs with a North Garland victory
over Garland in the final week of the reg
ular season.
“Paybacks are sweet,” Hantes said.
“I’ve had a lot of good games, but that
might have been my best. I think my best
yardage total before that was about 300
yards. It was a big game for us.”
Hantes has been known for his option
abilities for two years, but his passing
has come to the fore this season. As
Mesquite’s coaches have made their
Wishbone offense more adaptable to the
passing game, Hantes has completed 83
of 146 passes for 1,129 yards this sea
son, helping the Skeeters improve
throughout the year.
“I think if we make the playoffs, we
will be a team to be reckoned with,” he
said.
Top 10
(Continued from page 9)
panning shots of Jackson on the sidelines
as A&M piled on the points?
No.4: Tractor Pulls, Trucks Crush
ing Cars, Professional Wrestling.
You’re familiar with the scenario. You
are desperately punching the cable but
tons in search of something, anything
having to do with sports and all that is on
are these pseudo-sports. Sports? These
three events really make me squirm.
What is the rational of people who
program these events for television?
Even ESPN shows this garbage.
No.3: Brian Bosworth. Don’t like the
attitude, the hair, the commercials, the
book, the university or anything else
connected with The Boz.
No.2: Boston Celtics. The team I love
to hate. The Celtics are that sort of team
one loves or hates. Fortunately, most
people I know also despise the Celtics,
which makes for great gripe sessions.
The Celtics have so much talent centered
in so many obnoxious players.
Danny Ainge really grabs me for the
annoyance prize. I really can’t bear
watching the Celtics play because it’s so
torturous.
No.l: Jim McMahon. McMahon is
number one on rhy list. I haven’t heard
much from him this season, and it has
been a pleasant experience. For a while,
McMahon was commercial spokesman
for everything.
This brings up the point that advertis
ers always use sports personalities that
people despise to sell their products.
Maybe it’s reverse advertising. The com
petition uses McMahon to sell scooters
when they really don’t want to sell them.
They want people to shun scooters and
buy bicycles, so they use McMahon to
advertise them.
I wouldn’t buy anything McMahon
was selling. He gets the most obnoxious
award hands down. Every time I turned
on the television his sunglass-shrouded
face was staring out at me.
I cackled with happiness when the Pa
triots beat Chicago this weekend, but I
was not pleased with McMahon’s injury.
I may not like the guy, but I wouldn’t en
joy him being hurt. Maybe he’s out for
the season — oh well.
Anyone who calls Doug Flutie Bambi
and America’s midget deserves little re
spect.
I do like Doug Flutie.
