Baylor starts season with conservative offense
Coaches plan on the
defense to carry team
Baylor at a Glance
By Brian Coats and Mark Smith
The Battalion
Continued from Page 3
Pullig’s backup, senior Steve
Emerson, has only taken one
snap during a college game.
“We’ve got three quarter
backs,” Slocum said. “If some
thing happens to Corey early,
then you go into next week’s
game. 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-

but Ellis are underclassmen.
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.
