Life after Cobb: Owls relying on
strong returning starters for '93
After posting their
first winning season
in 29 years, the Rice
Owls are looking to
improve their pro
gram in hopes to obtain a bowl bid in 1993.
Head coach Fred Goldsmith, in his fifth year at
Rice University, is looking to senior quarterback
Bert Emanuel to lead the way this season.
After losing running back Trevor Cobb to the
NFL, Emanuel and Jimmy Lee will carry the bulk
of the offensive load. Emanuel's scrambling and
passing ability made him last season's All-South
west Conference quarterback.
Goldsmith outlined his strengths as having two
experienced quarterbacks coupled with several big
play receivers returning from the 1992 team.
Unfortunately, last year's 6-5 Rice squad suf
fered two big losses in Trevor Cobb and offensive
lineman Matt Sign.
Redshirt freshman Spencer George is highly
touted as being Cobb's successor at running

back, but Goldsmith believes that the offensive
line will be the most important facet of the Owls'
offensive game.
"(Chris) Cooley, (Tom) Hethrington, (Jimmy)
Golden, and (Brandon) Fitzgerald will make the
job of the new tailback much easier," Goldsmith
said. "They are all returning letterman and two
of them are legitimate NFL prospects."
Goldsmith said he knows that each game will
test the Owls in all aspects, but he's keeping
everything in perspective for the 1993 campaign.
"We're going to take it one week at a time,"
Goldsmith said. "Each week is a big game, but
obviously, our ultimate goal is to win the South
west Conference."
Newcomers Ndukwe Kalu, Adam Zylman
and Mike Jones could also be instrumental in giv
ing Goldsmith the highly-sought-after bowl bid.
Rice will play at Big Ten powerhouse Ohio
State to open the season and could be 3-1 before
playing at the University of Texas. The Owls
have not beaten the Longhorns since 1965.

New head coach Helton takes the helm
with hopes to shore up weak defense
By MATTHEW J. RUSH
The Battalion
After head coach John
Jenkins' resignation in April,
the University of Houston
Cougars will look to new coach
Kim Helton to guide them to
their first Southwest Confer
ence Championship since 1985.
UH posted a 4-7 record in
each of the last two
years.
The biggest concern
of this year's Cougar
squad is how the new
coach will affect the
players. Helton believes
that, overall, the effect
will be positive.
"1 think that there has
been a positive response
so far," Helton said.
"There is also an op
portunity for a fresh start
for some players who
didn't agree with the old sys
tem," he said. "The team is still
in the 'honeymoon' effect- that
is, they haven't figured out if
I'm a better deal or if I'm not."
Returning to offense are
starting quarterback Jimmy
Klingler, wideout Sherman
Smith, Darrell Clapp and Jim
Herndon. Klingler will again
look to connect with his prima
ry targets Smith and Ron Pe
ters. The tandem combined for
over 1,700 receiving during the
1992 season. Klingler will also
look to throw to senior Keith
Jack and sloiback Lamar Smith
to again post the number one
ranking in yards per game.
On the other side of the ball,
the Cougars were 104th out of
“The team is still in the
( honeymoon’ effect- that
is, they haven’t figured
out if I’m a better deal or
if I
m not.”
— Kim Helton, new head
coach, University of Houston
107 Division-I schools last sea
son and are looking to
strengthen their defense.
The Cougars, victims of the
big play, will look to Donald
Douglas to fortify their defen
sive alignment. Douglas, who
has been the number two quar
terback over the past few years,
will make the switch to free
safety in hopes to minimize the
big play bug that has eaten up
the Cougar defense over the
past three years.
Helton, who was with the
Miami Dolphins last season,
saw little of Douglas at either
position, but believes he will be
a key in their pursuit to win the
conference.
"From what little I've seen,
he's a pretty good guy,"
Helton said. "He likes to
work hard."
Helton believes that
the Cougars' non-confer
ence games against USC
and Michigan are impor
tant for his team as well
as for the conference.
"The Southwest Con
ference is about to come
together," Helton said.
"We want to be proud
and if we win, that will
bring some glory to the
conference."
Helton said that his goals
are simple and direct.
"We want to win every
game," Helton said. "The
biggest key to being a good foot
ball team is if you don't win,
you've got to recover. You can't
let one loss lead into another."
The Cougars will open their
1993 schedule against the Uni
versity of Southern California
and will then face Tulane and
Michigan before entering con
ference play.
Carter eager to hit the big league
By KEVIN LINDSTROM
The Battalion
SAN ANTONIO- Former
Texas A&M fullback Doug
Carter has survived the first
two weeks of the Houston
Oilers training camp, and he
has no intentions of leaving
any time soon.
"I'm very glad to be here
in training camp," he said.
"This is the next level, and
I'm happy to say I got here."
But Carter said he isn't sat
isfied with just being in camp.
"With all of the veterans
on this team. I've got to make
my mark on the special teams," he said. "I have to
prove I can play at this level."
Carter played fullback for A&M from 1986 to
1992; sitting out '87 and '88 with a severe knee in
jury and. sitting out two games his junior year with
an ankle injury.
He said of the special teams he plays on, he likes
the physicality of returning kicks.
"I like kick return because I get to set up and hit
somebody," he said. "That's more fun than run
blocking."
Carter said he likes the role the running back has
in the run-and-shoot offense that Houston employs.
"I like tKe-run-and-shoot because it's more re
laxed for the running back," he said. "You're either
running straight up the field, picking up a line
backer or helping the tackles."
Carter said the defense is more intense in the NFL
than in college, but the 46 defense that Oilers defen
sive coordinator Buddy Ryan designed with the
Chicago Bears and is implementing in Houston does
resmble A&M's attack.
"The defense here blitzes a lot, like A&M does,
but these guys are at a much higher level," he said.
"And they are coming full speed on every play."
Carter said the level of competition is high and he
will have to push himself to make the team.
"Everything here is a lot faster," he said. "Every
one out here is a high-caliber athlete. I think I'm keep-
Carter
ing pace. I know what I have to do to be successful
here."
He has to keep working to stay competitive, he
said. "There is no amount of running I could have
done to prepare me for for these two-a-days," he
said. "Running for two hours straight with these
guys is tough."
The Oilers begin their morning practice at 6:30
a.m. and work until 9 a.m. The afternoon practices
last from 4:30 to 6:30, with classwork and lunch be
tween sessions.
The Oilers' preseason match against the New Or
leans Saints this Saturday will be the first football
game in the Houston Alamodome, and Carter said
he is eager to play against other NFL players.
"I can't wait to start hitting some other guys than
my teammates," he said. "I can really show the coach
es something by doing well against New Orleans."
