South College Ave. (Skaggs Shopping Center) • 846-8916 • College Station Razorbacks brace for hostile SWC farewell tour Falcons won't wear black LITTLE ROCK (AP) — So often, Joe Fan is talking about quar terback and running back while the head football coaching is fret ting about offensive linemen and linebackers. At Arkansas, this time around, everybody has the same concerns. Quarterback Quinn Grovey is gone after four years. Two of the top three candidates have never taken a snap in a college game and Gary Adams, No. 1 on the depth chart, did little last year other than fumble. When it comes to fullback, coach Jack Crowe men- tions several names and he starts with Kerwin Price only be cause he has the most experience. At tailback, E.D. Jackson is still around but the answer may be Freddie Bradley, who broke seve ral of O.J. Simpson's junior college records. All of those questions come at a time when Arkansas is preparing for its final trip through the South west Conference after a disastrous 3-8 in 1990. Next year, the Razor- backs will be in tne Southeastern Conference. "I don't know that I've ever been anywhere where we've been undefined at all three positions," Crowe said. "A certain amount of execution depends on the mindset of all three. Usually, there are one or two to build around." Adams starts the fall as No. 1 because he was No. 1 in the spring when he got hurt. Because of that injury and other circumstances, Allen, a redshirt freshman, got the most experience with the first unit in the spring. Sophomore Wade Hill maybe the best passer. Crowe said the quarterback qu must be an effective thrower be cause the Razorbacks are well equipped at wide receiver. But, he said, Arkansas proved last year that passing statistics don't nec- essarUy translate into victories. Arkansas will not build its of fense around the quarterback, Crowe said. In fact, at the begin ning of the season, the quar terback will be a role player. And, there is no hard and fast timetable for a No. 1 to emerge. Selection of a quarterback, he said, is not or chestrated. "It happens rather spontaneously," he said. Sometimes, he said, you start with one quarterback and, later on, "another player takes them to a different level." • A quarterback, he said, has to have what he calls game qualities. "Most of the time those don't show up in practice," Crowe said. "In a scrimmage, he knows every body over there, how fast they're going to run, which way they're going to turn. Some function very well against that situation." There is no magic formula. "Every quarterback I've ever been around, if you tried to use a common measuring stick, you'd have a hard time ever coming to a decision," he said. "You're not comparing apples and apples." Fullback is even more unsettled. Chris Kirby is a walkon who earned a scholarship; Chris Mc- Gaughey is a sophomore who has been around a couple of years and Jared Kaaiohelo is also a sopho more. True freshmen Carlton Cal vin and Oscar Gray could figure in sooner or later. HOUSTON (AP) — Atlanta Fal cons coach Jerry Glanville won't allow his team to suit out in black uniforms when they play his for mer team, the Houston Oilers, in an NFL exhibition game. He can't afford it. Glanville developed his "man in black" image during four seasons as head coach of the Oilers before he left in a front office dispute prior to last season. Glanville returns to the-Astro dome for the first time with the Falcons Friday night. Kickoff is at 7 p.m. CDT. But the Falcons will be dressed in white as the visitors. The Oilers will wear the dark uniforms. "They told me we can't wear black so we'll wear white," Glan ville said. "They told me I'd be paying the fine if we wore black. Maybe we'll bring them (black uni forms) along anyway, but we'll wear white." Glanville plans to eat at his fa vorite Mexican food restaurant and visit his old neighborly when he returns Friday. He thin! his reception in the Astrodoi Friday night will be mixed. "I tell everybody that there v be maybe as loud a 'boo' as hear in Cleveland or maybe t loud a 'boo' as I get to hear Pittsburgh," Glanville said.", hopefully those boos will loud at San Francisco, LA ail New Orleans." The Oilers lost their exhibil opener to San Diego 31-29 and t 1 Falcons beat the Los Angel; Rams 38-17. Glanville said he'd play b starters more this week and till quarterback Chris Miller woul; likely play three quarters. ; least o Thfe Battalion Classified Ads The Oilers are trying to piece loi f ether a defense that is splinter;-® P ec v injuries and contract holdouts s pjeont Starting linebacker Johm iema j 0 Meads, end Sean Jones and cc: tl Q WS nerback Cris Dishman rema-fk, rar .. holdouts. fS jinethi B if y ir Before roblem Ithoug tempt Hors 1 HUmt< Phone: 645-0569 / Office: English Annex Phe bi Help Wanted Services Texas looking to improve on last year's 10-2 success AUSTIN (AP) — Texas football coach David McWilliams says he was surprised at the Longhorns' 10-2 Southwest Conference appt mghc championship season last year, and others also wonder if it was a fluke. "The No. 1 ques tion I get asked is, 'Was last year for real? Is Texas really back?' I think that's the No. 1 question this team has to ans wer," McWilliams said of his 1991 squad. First, Texas has to forget the 46- 3 whipping delivered by Miami in the Cotton Bowl at Dallas on Jan. 1, which dropped the Longhorns from third to No. 12 in college football. "As a coach, you hate to think that your team may have been in timidated, but it may have hap- pened'some," McWilliams said. Secondly, Longhorn coaches have to turn out a punter and place kicker. "That's my No. 1 and 2 concerns," McWilliams said. He said by his count, in 1988 and 1989, Texas lost five games it should have won because of breakdowns in the kicking game. Last season, however, Michael Poliak ranked third in the nation in number of field goals, kicking 20 of 26, as well as 39 of 39 extra points, and Alex Waits was No. 11 among punters with an average of 42.7 yards. Both were seniors in their final year of eligibility. Quarterback Peter Gardere is a possible replacement for Waits as a drop off among Longhorn place kickers. Jason Ziegler was sick during spring training, and walk- on Craig Dickey is accurate but is not strong enough to kick off, Mc Williams said. "We've just got to hope someone comes through like Poliak," he said. Texas' chances of repeating as SWC champion depend upon a veteran defense that al lowed only 301 yards a game and a rushing offense headed by 214- E ound Butch Hadnot, who led onghom rushers as a freshman with 541 yards and eight touch downs. Some have touted a front four that includes defensive end Shane Dronett and tackles James Patton and Tommy Jeter as perhaps the best in the nation. The secondary lost All-Ameri can safety Stanley Richard, a first- round pro draft choice, but returns all-SWC safety Lance Gunn. Gardere completed 56.5 percent of his passes for 2,131 yards in 1990, but a trio of receivers who have departed had 95 receptions for 10 touchdowns and will be missed. "The receivers are still a question mark," McWilliams said. He said offensive tackle Stan Thomas, another first-round pro selection, also would be difficult to replace. "It's always tough to repeat," McWilliams said. "I think last year we were overlooked some. /4»terucei,l 'Dt£uc- , )k SONIC is looking for energetic out going people to join our TEAM!!
