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.
In his three years, he played in 23 gams
completed 428 of 754 attempts for 5,243yah;
He had 29 interceptions.

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."

Cardinals two top players.
"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."
