yards on the ground.
Continued from Page 7
In Saturday’s 66-0 loss, USL put the ball on
the ground eight times. Several of the turnovers
came in or near the red zone.
Run N’ Gun
If you want to beat the Washington Huskies
(2-1), keep the ball on the ground. In the
school’s last three regular season losses, oppo
nents have rushed 170 times for 1,107 yards, an
astounding 6.51 average. In Washington’s latest
defeat, Nebraska (3-0) ran 66 times for 384
yards en route to a 27-14 victory.
In all other games in 1996, the Huskies al
lowed just 938 yards on 336 attempts. Any de
fensive coordinator would be thrilled holding
opponents to 2.79 yards per carry.
Games of the week
Texas (1-1) at Rice (2-1) — Rice Stadium
■The Owls are flying high after an upset win
at Northwestern. Rice downed the Wildcats 40-
34 on the strength of Michael Peny’s 7-yard
touchdown run with 1:24 left in the game. Rice
mounted 539 yards of total offense, including
461 yards via the run. The Longhorns must lim
it Perry’s offensive output, as well as start James
Brown at quarterback. We all saw that Texas is
all or nothing without Brown, and Ricky
Williams is not a true Heisman contender in
UCLA’s 66-3 lashing of the Horns.
Michigan Mauls Da’ Bears
Baylor (1-2) did not gain a first down in the
second half until picking one up against re
serves with 2:10 remaining in the game. The
Bears went 3-and-out on its first four posses
sions of the half and quarterback JeffWatson
was intercepted on the fifth. Baylor had just
nine first downs overall and 154 yards total of
fense.
Jerod Douglas, Baylor’s second all-time lead
ing rusher with 2,619 yards, was held to just 12
yards on 12 carries.
Michigan’s Anthony Thomas became the
first Wolverine freshman to rush for 100 yards
in a game since Tyrone Wheatley (1991).
Thomas rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown
on 21 carries, contributing to Michigan’s 344
# 7 Ohio State (3-0) at Missouri (2-1,0-1) —
Memorial Stadium
■ The Buckeye’s are on a roll after blitzing
three straight opponents to start the year after
ending last season with a 20-17 upset win over
then undefeated Arizona State University in the
Rose Bowl. Missouri, with one of the nation’s
best option running attacks led by quarterback
Corby Jones, looks for its first 3-1 start since
1982.
#22 Texas A&M (2-0) at North Texas (2-2) —
Texas Stadium
■ If North Texas can muster some of the
mystique from the Cowboy’s “Ring of Honor,”
die Eagles have a chance to upset the undefeat
ed Aggies.
The Aggies must be careful not to overlook a
talented squad in preparation for their show
down with Colorado, Oct. 4. The Eagles are not
to be taken lightly. North Texas is coming off a
last-minute upset of Texas Tech, 30-27.
Cross Country claims
crown at Rice meet
Staff and wire report
It was a happy homecoming for Hous
ton native and cross country runner Scott
Lengefeld last weekend. Lengefeld suc
cessfully defended his individual title in
the 4.1-mile race at the Rice Invitational
and led the Aggies to their third straight
team victory of the season.
“Scott had all his family and friends
and the entire Dobie cross country team
as his personal cheerleaders out there,
and he didn’t disappoint them,’’Aggie
Cross Country Coach Greg Hinze said in
a press release.
With Lengefeld topping the list of Aggie
placers, the Aggie men garnered five of the
top seven places in the meet as they scored
a season-best 18 points.
James Menze (21:03) placed second
while Stephen Erath (21:04), Todd Fox
(21:01) and Christian Henricksen
(21:24) placed, third, fifth and seventh
respectively.
Hinze was pleased with the team’s per
formance, but believes the team needs to
continually improve during the season.
“We didn’t run as well as we did at Iowa
State last week, but I expected
them to be a little flat after such a big
meet,” Hinze said. “We did what we
needed to do to get the win, which is a
positive. But we have to race better, or
we’ll be in trouble at the more compet
itive meets."
In the women’s race, Millie Ondras,
Ann Dwyer, Kari Wyatt, Sandie Ramsey
and Lauren Berryman, placed eighth,
ninth, 10th, 16th and 18th, respectively,
to lead the Aggies to a second place finish
behind Rice.
Hinze said he is beginning to see im
provement in the women’s performance.
“I was very happy with the way our
women ran today,” Hinze said. “They ran
much better today than they have all
season. If they continue to improve the
way they did today, then we are going to
be very competitive by the end of the
season.”
Both the men’s and women’s cross
country teams will compete in the North
Texas Invitational in Denton on Oct. 3.
Gonzalez No. 40
against Oakland
104™ YE

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — ForJuaj
Gonzalez, there’s not a lot ofjoy|
another 40-homer season.
“If I was healthy, I thinklcoul
match Griffey and McGwire,’’
the Texas slugger, who missedtlitbp t*
first 24 games this season withti
injury to his left thumb. “To
would be a dream, but I know!
could do it.”
Gonzalez hit his 40th, athree-nis
shot, against the Athletics on %
day as the Rangers routed Oaklani
14-6 to end a four-game Texas fe
ing streak. It was his fourth
homer season.
Gonzalez has hit eight hi
runs against the As this season,
26 in his career — the most againj
any club.
While Gonzalez was dreaming:!
matching Seattle’s Ken GriffeyJ
and the Cardinals’ Mark McGwii-
Texas manager Johnny Oates was
praising his designated hitter.
“It’s been a frustrating yearfo
Juan, with what he’s had to dei
with,” Oates said. “He missed!*
games but then he’s come through ^infection
with 40 homers and 130-plus RBls
1 le does that every time, andlfe
that remarkable.”
