It does n’t take me very long to remem ber the way he played (in the Alamo Bowl last season) against Amani Toomer and Mercury Hayes in the Michigan game.” Slocum said the team is also evaluating true freshmen Brandon Jennings at safety and Jason Webster at cornerback. Both players could see action this weekend — Jennings possibly in a starting role. “We need to take some of these younger players and push harder to get them some playing time,” Slocum said. "At some point, we might need these guys, and we’re doing everything we can to get them ready to play.” A&M senior lineback Keith Mitchell said the defense will have its work cut out against USL. “They’re a good passing team,” Mitchell said. “It would be good for the secondary and the defen sive line to get their confidence back with a good performance.” While many people have been quick to write off the A&M defense, Aggie quarterback Branndon Stewart said he and the offense still have faith in the Wrecking Crew. “We have a great defense, and I think everybody on the team knows that," Stewart said. “The guys on offense definitely respect our defense because we [practice] against them everyday.” Mitchell said at least one posi tive could be taken away from the BYU game. “Maybe it can'be an awakening for us,” Mitchell said. “This is going to really make us dig deep and see what type of players we do have and what we want out of this season. This may be good for us to go back and get it going.” Astros defe Phillies, 43 HOUSTON (AP) - Biggio’s eighth-inning sacii fly completed a three-runl Tuesday night that gavu Houston Astros a 4-3 via over the Philadelphia Ph The Astros trailed 3-ha, Orlando Miller, pinchl T n„ l YV \J lonsp Soccer Continued from Page 13 thing about Tulsa besides what coach (Guerrieri) tells us,” Older said. “I don’t think they are as strong as some of the other teams we have played, but then again, we can’t take any team lightly if we want to win.” Following today’s matchup, A&M enters a four-game home stand of which two games will be played this weekend. “Even if we play an unranked team, we still have to stay at our level of play,” Guerrieri said. “We are playing better than we have in the past, and I am very pleased with how we are improving. I knew we would be this successful, but our challenge will be to keep on winning and improving.” Derrick May and Brian Hu started the eighth against!

The honor goes to the athlete who never gives up, no matter how tough the times get, and inspires teammates to work through adversity and over achieve toward his or her goals. Okler fits into the team’s overall chemistry as well as she fits its offense. “Yvette is someone the girls can trust as a friend, a confidant,” Guerrieri said.
