But don’t fear because The Battal- n delivers college football coverage through nd, rain or shine, week in and week out. We’re id of like the post office minus the arsenal. No rest for the weary. When the University of Southwestern uisiana comes to College Station next week- d, it will mark the fourth game of a seven lek, non-stop football marathon for the ragin’ juris. This week they t ravel to scenic Lubbock, ity famous for its barren space, to take on the xasTech Red Raiders. The Red Raiders, much ethe guy who works the weekend graveyard ift at the gas station by my house, are pissed at the world. They’re mad because they tided Tennessee’s Peyton Manning the Heis- |an Trophy in their first game. And they’re mad cause they have no running game.They’ve Id a week off and feel like they need to make a taiement. It could get ugly. Do the quarterback shuffle. The Aggies have been rotating running backs for years, so why not quarterbacks? Going back to the days of Greg Hill and Rodney Thomas, A&M has featured multiple backs. The trend has continued in recent years with juniors Sirr Park er, D’Andre Hardeman, Eric Bernard and sophomore Dante Hall. Now they are going to try it with junior quarterbacks Branndon Stew art and sophomore Randy McCown. Coach R.C. Slocum said he doesn’t believe in the old adage that if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t have one. Slocum said coaches who said that haven’t had two good quarterbacks, as he feels he does. The idea isn’t new. Last season the Ohio State Buckeyes finished No.2 in the final rankings with quarterbacks Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine sharing time. A couple of years back Steve Spurrier’s Florida Gators did pretty well splitting time between Terry Dean and a freshman named Danny Wuerffel. The Aggie signal callers both looked com fortable in their roles last Saturday with Mc Cown going seven for 14 for 148 yards and Stewart completed eight of 12 passes for 110 yards. And the winner is... Several players had good games against Sam Houston last week. But only one person on each side of the ball can earn the MVP award. Offensively, both quarterbacks looked com fortable in coordinator Steve Marshall’s new scheme, and Sirr Parker lit up the Bearkats with three touchdowns on eight carries. The line dominated Sam Houston up front opening run ning lanes for the Aggie backs and this week’s offensive player of the game Dante Hall. Hall had 227 yards of total offense and two touch downs. He also provided the offensive play of the " game for his move he put on that poor, unsus pecting member of the Bearkat secondary at the end of his 50-yard touchdown run. At last check, the defensive back had still not found his jock strap. On the defensive side, the Wrecking Crew re turned to form in the second quarter. Sam Houston showed a lot of looks to the Aggies who were not allowed to see a Bearkat game film because they did not have a tape to trade. Once the defense had seen everything, they ad justed and dominated. Sophomore cornerback Sedrick Curry, play ing in place of the injured Shun Horn, provided two impact plays, intercepting a pass and re covering a fumble. After taking much of the heat for last season’s woes, the secondary looked a year wiser and much improved. Fresh man Roylin Bradley, one of the Aggie’s top re cruits showed he was as good as advertised, leading the Aggies with two sacks and recover ing a fumble of his own. The defensive play of the game goes to ju nior safety Rich Coady for a hit which echoed all the way to Snook. And the defensive MVP award goes to sophomore linebacker Sean Coryatt. He came off the bench and led the Aggies with 13 tack les, including one for a loss. Coryatt, the younger brother of former Aggie and current Indanapolis Colt Quintin Coryatt, will be get ting a hard look with the first unit between now and next Saturday. iller forcing Cowboys into ‘Prime Time , ONAL -900-289-1077, Ext serv-u (6i9i645wB]pyj[sjQ (AP) —Anthony Miller’s mys- TS [eiious hamstring problems have be- r N Dogs u deep concern for the Dallas .

He’s a Pro Bowl player in this league for years and knows his body better than anybody. “We want him to be smart. We don’t want any college rah-rah. We don’t him to be like one of those track guys who blows a ham string and misses a bunch of time. ” Switzer ordered a new practice routine for Miller. He said Miller will no longer sit idle for 20 minutes in practice while the de fense faces the scout team offense like it did last week. “We’re going to keep him stretched out,” Switzer said. “This is going to be one of those day to day things. If he had a true hamstring pull I could tell you if he could play. But this thing just tightens up on him.” Miller worked out Wednesday but did not run deep. “He just ran crossing routes so he would be under control,” Switzer said. “We expect him to play Monday. Of course, we expect ed him to play last week.” The Cowboys are taking no chances. They worked Deion Sanders at receiver on Wednesday and Switzer said “we want to make use of his talent. We might have six or seven plays for him on offense in the Philadelphia game. We might use him like we did in the Super Bowl two years ago.” Miller doesn’t want to appear to be a shirker. But the lockerroom whispers about his toughness won’t go away until he plays hurt. “I don’t think a defense can cover Irvin and Miller and stop our passing game at the same time,” said running back Emmitt Smith. “That’s why we have to get him out on the playing field.” Miller just shakes his head about his in jury problems. “Frustrating, it’s very frustrating,” Miller said. The Cowboys hope an extra day will help Miller get ready for Monday night’s game against Philadelphia. Until then, they’ll second Miller’s opin ion about what has become a big area of concern for the Cowboys run to a sixth con secutive NFC East title. In and out in 30-n# shopping s.
