He was almost convincing. “We've very disappointed but we're not too many points away from 2-0," Goldsmith said. ''Nothing is as good as it appears or as bad as it ap pears." Rice started the season with its highest hopes in years of breaking the cycle of 30 years without a winning season. Now they're looking uphill at an 0-2 record and will face their home opener against Sam Houston State Saturday with quarterback Josh LaRocca side lined for the year with a broken collarbone. "It's been an emotional experience but in reality we're only 14 points away from 2-0," Goldsmith said. The Owls lost to Duke 17-12 Saturday and they were beaten 30-21 by Air Force in their opener. A loss to NCAA Division II-A Sam Houston on Saturday could be a killing blow to the Owls' hopes of salvaging the season. "You try not to think like that," Goldsmith said. "I remember in 1990 we had a stretch where we lost three in a row and then finished strong. I believe no matter what happens, this teams has character and something good will happen." LaRocca will be replaced by Bert Emanuel, who played in one series against Air Force and came off the bench against Duke. Goldsmith prepared for the worst and it happened early in the fourth quarter when LaRocca was injured. "That why I told him (Emanuel) that he would play regardless," Goldsmith said. "You hate to see LaRocca get hurt but we planned for it and I think the playing time helped Bert." Emanuel ran 57 yards for a touchdown that brought the Owls back from a 17-6 deficit but two more Owl drives ended without any points. Sam Houston State is 2-0 after beating Angelo State 20-0 on Saturday and the Owls won't be taking the Bearkats lightly. "We have no reason to take anyone lightly," de fensive end Sean Alberding said. "We're supposed to be the Rice team that does something and here we are 0-2." with it." , Mitchell seems to be with her play on the ^ u fine.

After an unimpressive win over Wyoming in week two. Tech bottomed out Saturday, losing to a weak Oregon team on the road, 16-13. Not exactly the stuff Cottoh Bowls are made of. Granted, the season is young. But some of the questions about Tech are being answered. Robert Hall is a quality quarterback, but not the superman described in the preseason annuals. Tracy Saul did break Smith's pickoff record, but has done little else. And Dykes has proven that you need a defense to win, no matter what the conference. So where, if anywhere, is the SWC's saving grace? Try Houston, where the Cougars bounced back from their season-opening loss to Tulsa by cruising past Illinois in their As trodome opener Saturday. The pleasant surprises for UH were many. Donald Douglas claimed the starting quarterback job-for himself, whether John Jenkins will give it to him or not. Douglas sliced through the Illini defense repeatedly, both passing and running, giving them twice as much to worry about, and proving that Jimmy Klingler will have to do more than ride his big brother's coat tails to become the Coogs' full time starter. But much more impressive was the Houston defense, which for the past few years has been a contradiction in terms. Linemen Kevin LaBay, Steve Clarke, Stephen Dixon and Allen Aldridge terrorized Illinois quar terback Jason Verduzco from the first snap. That freed up linebacker Ryan McCoy and allowed him to show glimpses of his previously-hid den talent. And as any Cougar fan will tell you, a little defensive talent is much better than none at all. If the Cougars survive this weekend's game with Michigan, they get to coast through the worst of the SWC before they host A&M Nov. 12. And although the Aggies seemed to figure out how to de fend the run-and-shoot last year, the Dome seems to caS ! if, gies into a mysterious seems to often leave the ^ bound. .i*.
