Tech’s Dykes
readies for
rough riding
LUBBOCK (AP) — Life is not
getting any easier for Texas Tech
coach Spike Dykes.
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. The Cougars de
feated Nevada-Las Vegas Satur

“Houston gets it going in a

IRVING (AP) — Troy finally
found NFLjoy.
Troy Aikman spent his rookie
year as Dallas’ quarterback of the fu
ture, losing all 11 games he started
last season — the Cowboys only vic
tory came when Aikman was out
with a broken finger.
“It had bothered me,” Aikman
said. “It gnawed at me. In some
games last year I played good
enough for us to win. In others, I
didn’t.”
The futility ended Sunday, cour

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.
Aikman then hit Kelvin Martin
with a 24-yard pass to set up a 1-yard
touchdown sneak with 1:58 left, giv
ing the Cowboys a 17-14 victory and
a 14-game home losing

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.”
