Houston, Texas 77025 • 713-668-5000 Wednesday, December 8,1993 The Battalion Houston's Klingler chooses NFL over SWC The Associated Press HOUSTON — Jimmy Klingler, the Univer sity of Houston's starting quarterback for the past two seasons, announced Tuesday he would not return for his senior year and would make himself eligible for the National Football League draft. Klingler succeeded his brother, David, now a starter for the Cincinnati Bengals, as quarterback for Houston after David complet ed his senior year. "It took a lot of thought and a lot of prepa ration," Klingler said. "It's not just something you come up with in one day. I've talked to a lot of people and this is what's going to be in the best interests of me and my family." Klingler, 21, is married and his wife is pregnant. "This is what's best for us," Klingler said. "We have a baby on the way. Some people would view that as an excuse to leave. 1 don't consider it a burden. Whether I stay or not. the child is still going to come. With leaving. I'll be able to support that family." After a sophomore year when he threw for 3,818 yards and 32 touchdowns, he suffered through an injury-plagued 1993 season in which he played just eight games, completing 117 of 230 passes for 1,291 yards and only seven touchdowns. He also was caught in the transition after run-and-shoot coach John Jenkins left and was replaced by Kim Helton, who put in a more balanced running and passing offense. The Cougars, however, won only one of 11 games. "My only disappointment is Jimmy Klin gler didn't have an opportunity at the Univer sity of Houston during this transition period to have a chance to show off," Helton said. "Whatever excuses you want to put to it, I think Jimmy and the rest of football team did suffer a lot this year. "He took it like man," Helton added. "I think we're both strong enough man to bear our crosses. He's fortunate to have an oppor tunity to go into pro ball. I'm very happyIj him. I'm going to miss him." Klingler said he had a verbal agreement! be represented by agent Leigh Steinberg, also is the agent for his brother and other!; NFL quarterbacks. He would not speculate where he mighty in the draft and said he was prepared toda with the possibility he might not be drafted; all and would have to go the free agentronl "That's fine with me," Klinglersai; "There's always that chance within thews: case scenario." Klingler is 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds.belt ishes his career ranked seventh on theall-fc Southwest Conference list with 39 touchdo, passes. In 1992, he set an NCAA sophs* record averaging 2.9 TD passes per gai That year he also threw for 613 yards aga* Rice, a single-game high for the year; NCAA Division I-A.

Cowboys still blundering; Johnson looks to fix slump The Associated Press IRVING — A grim Jimmy Johnson came to the conclusion Tuesday that his defending Super Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys aren't being very well coached. The Cow boys struggled to a 23-17 vic tory over the Philadelphia Eagles Monday night to stay a game behind the NFC East, leading New Johnson York Giants with an 8-4 record. "It's not the effort and the tal ent of the players," Johnson said. "We've got to do a better job of coaching." Johnson wouldn't get specific but said "the coaching situation will be handled in the areas I want improved." He had an iron-out-the-prob- lems meeting with his coaches Tuesday afternoon after the Cow boys struggled on both sides of the ball Monday. Without injured defensive end Charles Haley, Dallas' pass rush was ineffective. Dallas rates 27th in the NFL in quarterback sacks. The timing wasn't crisp on of fense, either. It took a 172-yard rushing ef fort from Emmitt Smith to save the Cowboys against the 16-point underdog Eagles. "We're not as efficient as we need to be," Johnson said. "We're not playing as well as I'd like for us to play. We've got to make im provement over the last part of the season for us to be a success in the playoffs." The Cowboys play at Min nesota Sunday, travel to the Meadowlands to play the New York Jets the next Saturday, host the Washington Redskins Dec. 26 and play the final game of the regular season in a rematch with the Giants back in the Meadow- lands. Johnson said the Cowboys haven't played well since quar terback Troy Aikman was injured four games ago in a 31-9 victory over the Giants. "When we beat San Francisco, Philadelphia and the Giants, we were on a good roll. Then Troy got hurt," Johnson said. "We've got to make a big improvement the next four weeks. We have the ability to do it. We can still be the team we want to be in the play offs." The Cowboys won five of their last six regular season games last year and hit the playoffs on a roll, which carried through to a 52-17 victory over Buffalo in the Super Bowl. But Johnson says he's had problems getting his team primed to play every week. "It's tough to be on an emo tional high every week in this league," Johnson said. "Some games you have to win because you are a better football team. You'd like to be sky-high every week, but that doesn't happen. "That debacle we had on Thanksgiving has set us back for one reason or the other, and we've got to come out of it," he said. Dallas lost 16-14 to Miami when Leon Lett touched a blocked field goal, turning it into a live ball, which the Dolphins re covered and cashed for the game winning field goal. Johnson said the Cowboys were a better team at this time last year. "We don't want to be accused of whining about our injuries, but we're just not as sharp," Johnson said. "When we had that roll against San Francisco, Philadel phia and the Giants, we were ac tually ahead of last year. But for various reasons, we're not that far along now." UNLV Continued from Page 5 "I never like to compare games," he said. "This game with las! years' game can not be compared. We are a different team." If the Aggies are going to be successful against the Runnin Rebels, Barone said, they will have to contain UNLV's speed, "We have to handle their quickness both on offense and de fense. They have great quickness," Barone said. "They push the ball up the court very well and are a tremendously aggressivede fensive team that plays real aggressive man-to-man defense. "So we have to handle their quickness, and that's the bottom line." One of the key matches of the game will be between the poinl guards - Edwards and Thomas, who finished second nationally in assists last year. "Against Thomas, I just have to be myself, try to play my game and keep everybody in the offense." Edwards said. "Dedan (Thomas) is a great player, and I will not take anything from his game. He has the ability to make them winners." UNLV head coach Rollie Massimino said he expects Edwardsto put up a good fight, but he is depending on Thomas to overcome the challenge and help UNLV to its first win of the season. The Runnin' Rebels are off to a 0-1 start after a 108-83 thrashing afthe hands of UCLA. "It will be a great matchup. Both (Thomas and Edwards)are aggressive young men, and they like to win," Massimino said "Dedan Thomas is our floor general. We are 0-1, and we've get a win as quickly as possible." Barone said the Aggies will need to play exceptional defense against UNLV, especially against the the three-point shot, if the Aggies are to win. "(To contain UNLV) we have to get back on defense - that's number one," Barone said. And we will have to do a goodjobol getting in their faces when they are shooting the three becausethei are going to shoot the three a lot. Those two areas are very impoi- tant against UNLV." Thomas said that Barone and the Aggies are right in their expe tations of UNLV's three-point shot. "We shoot a lot of threes," Thomas said. "It will be importaii! for us to shoot our threes, but we also penetrate the lane well." Another problem UNLV will present for A&M is the inside threat of junior center Patrick Savoy and junior forward Clayton Johnson. Barone said A&M will need junior forwards Damon Johnson and Tony McGinnis to be up for the battle on the boards, "Damon will have to be a force on the glass," Barone said. 'Ti will have to be a rebound maniac. And, he is going to have! score inside against Vegas." McGinnis said maintaining composure and sticking to game plan will help, but he wants A&M fans to provide UNLVthe same environment the fans at UNLV provided the Aggies last year Massimino discounted the Aggies' home field advantage.lie even poked fun at the similarities between his first name, F and G. Rollie. "This is Texas A&M, and this is their home court," Massimino said. "But we're playing at Rollie's place, it says so on the sign." Wednesd JULI PHI!

"They had 30 turnovers and the pressure was very good, " Hickey said. "We really were able to cut out (guard Sondra) Ancelot, and in order for Gant to get open, An celot has to be a threat." Perhaps the highest compli ment paid to the Lady Aggies for both their play last night and on their season so far, was given by Lamar head coach Liz McQuitter. "They have good balance, in side, outside, and on the wings, McQuitter said. "I vote in the polls, and I will probably vote for them this weet in the top 25." Winder Continued from Page 5 But wait!
