HOUSTON — Rice coach Fred Goldsmith tried to
smile away his troubles Monday.
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."

Gibbs.
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

bound. .i*.

would really be weird.
As for the rest of the confer
ence, the remainder of the seaso:
could turn out to be a
cure for insomnia. SMU aiuf
TCU are as lowly aseverand
Rice and Baylor seem to betrym?
as hard as they can to join them.
The only consolation is theft
that Arkansas is gone.
All we
need is the Citadel wa ^ n 5
