After suffering a 17-10 loss at No. 18 Ohio State Saturday, the Red Raiders have only a few days to prepare for a Thursday nignt battle against the explosive Hous ton Cougars, 1-0. “We can’t mope around,” Dykes said. “We’ve got Russia coming here Thursday. We held Ohio State to 94 yards in the first half. Shoot, that’s just one posses sion’s worth for Houston.” Tech, 0-1, hosts the Run-and- Shoot Cougars to open the South west Conference schedule. The game is televised nationally by ESPN with kickoff slated for 7:07 p.m. Dykes said the Red Raiders’ near upset of Ohio State proved they could play with the country’s best. “The Ohio State game was like having a blind date with Miss America and letting her get away without getting her phone num ber,” Dykes said Monday at his weekly press conference. “You had better take advan tage of the opportunity, and we just didn’t quite do it.” Tech was plagued Saturday by weak punting, which led to the Buckeyes’ winning touchdown. “The kicking game was a big worry before the game and it’s still a worry,” Dykes said. “We did not play the kicking game very well.” A 50-yard punt return for a touchdown late in the fourth quarter by Ohio State’s speedy Jeff Graham was the margin of victory. “You don’t fault the coverage State ran the clock out. “Jamie really thought it was second down,” Dykes said. “But we probably had as good a chance of winning with that pass as we would have any other way. It was one of those things where if it had worked it would have been great. Dykes praised his defense, which forced five turnovers and held Ohio State scoreless in the first half. “It was probably one of the bet ter defensive efforts this team has ever played,” Dykes said. Ohio State “had four possessions 33 yards or closer to our goal line and didn’t get any points out of it, That’s a real mark to the defense, especially against a team that physical.” Dykes said Tech’s defense will have to slow down the dizzying offensive arsenal of No. 24 Hous ton, which features five receivers on every play and averaged more than 500 passing yards per game last season.

Givens will alter his starting lineup again tonight. Freshman Amy Kisling will draw her First start at middle blocker. Genny Woods will join regulars Amy Cumings and Krista Hierholzer again in the start ing rotation. Givens says he has not determined who will fill the two out side attacker spots but has plenty of depth to pick from. “Role identity is still something we’re looking at. Who plays well when they start, who plays well oil the bench,” he said. Givens said the leadership of se niors Cumings and Heirholzerisim portant to the Lady Aggies success. “We’ve got to find a way togetthe ball to the people who are the most experienced,” he says. Heirholzer has been nursing a sprained thumb on her left hand since the Hawaii match but will play against the Bobcats. Givens says the team was upsei with spotting other teams leads and having to come from behind in the Hawaii and Idaho matches.

In some games last year I played good enough for us to win. In others, I didn’t.” The futility ended Sunday, cour tesy of San Diego coach Dan Hen ning. With San Diego ahead 14-10 late in the game, Henning called a fake punt on fourth-and-6 near midfield. The fake failed, and Dallas got the ball at its 47 with under six minutes left.

It also was the first home victory for coach J immy Johnson. Aikman was all smiles. “From a personal standpoint, it feels good to finally be able to get that monkey off my back and win one,” Aikman said. “I don’t have to listen to people say ‘I can’t win a ball- game.’ I took a lot of abuse in the media.” Glanville led the Oilers to the playoffs his last three years and kept up a feud with Pittsburgh coach Chuck Noll and Cincinnati’s Sam Wyche.
