You only have two quar terbacks. Say in the first quarter one of those guys gets hurt. Now, you go out and say, ‘That’s the only guy we’ve got on this team that can take a snap. “That’s a problem. There’s just nothing I can do about it this time,” he said. The backfield for the Aggies is as good as any in the country, even after losing NFL first round draft pick Greg Hill. Tailbacks Rodney Thomas and Leeland McElroy return as a one-two punch that other coaches drool over. Thomas came four yards short of 1,000 last season and scored 13 touchdowns for A&M. McElroy became a sensation last season after returning an NCAA record tying three kickoff returns for touchdowns. Slocum said A&M fans will oc casionally see Thomas and McEl roy in the backfield at the same time. For the most part, however, the Aggies will rely on a more tra ditional set. “Most of the time, it will be a case of one of them playing and the other one resting and vice versa,” Slocum said. “That’s real ly worked well for us.” The Aggies have two experi enced fullbacks returning, senior Clif Groce and junior Detron Smith. Receivers are at a premium, especially with the added empha sis on passing. A&M lost Tony Harrison, who holds the school record for receiving with 1,576 yards. Trying to fill Harrison’s shoes will be senior Ryan Matthews. Matthews made 13 receptions in 1993 for 144 yards. In the flanker spot, the Aggies will uti lize senior Brian Mitchell. Mitchell finished 1993 with 11 re ceptions for 152 yards and one touchdown. The tight end spot should be fairly secure. Senior James McK- eehan will fill the position vacat ed by All-SWC tight end Greg Schorp. McKeehan had eight re ceptions for 50 yards and scored four touchdowns in 1993. Keeping with what is develop ing as a tradition in Aggieland, A&M has a good corps of line backers. The inside linebackers are young, with Reggie Graham as the only returner with much experience. The outside linebacker position is strong, with Antonio Arm strong (formerly Antonio Shorter) returning at one spot. Arm strong is a leading candidate for the Butkus Award which goes to the nation’s top linebacker. The A&M secondary should be solid in 1994. From a unit that ranked No. 1 in the nation in pass efficiency, all but one starter re turns. Of course, that starter is NFL first round draft pick Aaron Glenn. Junior Ray Mickens has one corner and Donovan Greer and Billy Mitchell will battle for Glenn’s vacated spot. Senior Junior White returns as the starter in the free safety spot where he compiled 64 tackles and six passes broken up in 1993. The strong safety spot will be filled by senior Michael Hen dricks, but he could be challenged by senior Steve Kenney, who was the starter in 1992 but suffered a season ending knee injury in the opener against Stanford. In Waco, it could be a long rebuilding year, or Baylor could contend for the South west Conference championship. It depends, do you like offense or defense? On offense, there are only five returning starters. J.J. Joe, Baylor’s starting quarter back for the last four year, is gone. Charged with following Joe at quarter back is sophomore Lamont Moore. Baylor coach Chuck Reedy describe Moore as “tough.” “One thing I’ve been impressed about La mont is he makes good decisions,” he said. “And also, he’s one tough son of a gun. He took some real shots (in spring) and got right back up.” Moore could be challenged for the job when two-a-days start in August from A&M Consolidated product Jeff Watson. “Jeff Watson is an outstanding athlete with good credentials,” Reedy said. “We’re going to go with the guy that we think will get us to the Cotton Bowl.” Last year Baylor used many different running backs extensively throughout the year. This fall’s campaign will probably be different, however, as junior Brandell Jack- son will be called upon often. Jackson rushed for 899 yards on 171 carries in 1993. Baylor’s wideouts may be lonely if the present plans for conservatism and short, safe passes stay intact. Senior John Stanley will start at the split end position after walking-on in January 1993. Baylor’s offensive line is one of the lone bright spots on the offensive side of the ball. Fred Miller, a junior right tackle, is a pre season All-SWC pick. Sophomore David Davis and senior Will Davidson will return to their line positions. The tight end spot will be filled by 1993 backup Damon Rhynes. Last season Rhynes caught two passes for 30 yards. With every returning starter from last year coming back, this unit could be one of the strongest in the conference. Reedy likes what he sees. He said they should be a very good defensive team. “I don’t think we have any critical holes on defense,” he said. “We just have to keep getting better.” Baylor has a great deal of depth at the de- Schedule TWo-deep Chart Sept. 3 Louisiana Tech Sept. 10 at San Jose State Sept. 17 Oklahoma State TE Offense Damon Rhynes Donnie Laurence LE Defense Charles Horton Daryl Gardener Sept. 24 at USC LT David Davis NT Steve Strahan Oct. 1 at TCU Oct. 8 SMU LG Bruce Nowak Will Davidson RE Roderick Kinney Scotty Lewis Oct. 15 at Texas A&M Oct. 22 at Texas Tech C Jerome Jackson John Turner SLB Bryan Tanner Robert Mason Oct. 29 Houston Nov. 12 at Rice RG Marty Dunbar Hunter Hunter MLB Phillip Kent Tony Tubbs Nov. 24 Texas RT Curtis Draper Fred Miller WLB Dean Jackson LaCurtis Jones Quick Facts Coach: Chuck Reedy SE Ricky Heard John Stanley BLB Malcolm Hamilton Glenn Coy Nickname: Bears 1993 Record: 5-6 QB Chris McCloud Lamont Moore RGB Gary Brandy Raynor Finley Home Stadium: Floyd Casey Staduim (48,500 cap.)

Texas, which has long used the four-three set on defense, switched to a three-four front during the spring. Mackovic said the new Texas’ talents. “By having the extra line backer, it gives us an opportu nity to get four players who can run on the field,” he said. Norman Watkins, Robert Reed and Kevin Watler, who all switched from defensive end to linebacker during the spring, are looking to take up the slack from the departure of Winfred Tubbs, Texas’ consensus all- conference middle linebacker. On the defensive line, Texas returns a trio of proven starters to head a strong group, led by Tony Brackens, who had 10 sacks last year. After years of disappoint- adoptions (wb ment, 1994 could be the Texas returns to the Co Bowl and loses its underaefe ing reputation of mediocrity Kevin Watlers, Texas lins backer, agrees. “I really believe this willfe the year that turns this prt gram,” he said. —i l" SAVE $$$ ' > with these , rt local coupons j Saving$$ 1 Every Wednesday! ! m the Battalion I ••.great summer coupons!
