then-No. 17 Notre Dame, and
Kansas State, which opened its
season with a 10-6 victory on the
road over the University of
Southern California.
The fourth-ranked ’Huskers
improved their record to 3-0.
The matchup against USC was
the first game of the season for
K-State.
New blood
After seven of the Big 12’s top
eight place kickers finished their
careers in 2000, the new class of
kickers have taken the challenge
of replacing the veterans in stride.
University of Texas freshman
walk-on Dusty Mangum is the
IN BRIEF
It’s hardly the image the old
NASCAR might prefer, but even
that might be changing because
Earnhardt is a free spirit who
now gets the loudest applause
when drivers are introduced.
He also had to withstand talk
that his victory at the Pepsi 400
at Daytona in July was a fix.
Through it all, Little E has flour
ished, becoming the most popu
lar driver in NASCAR and a solid
top-10 fixture. Heading into the
New Hampshire 300 on Sunday,
he’s seventh in the chase for the
Winston Cup championship —
something his father won a
record-tying seven times.
Joseph, who carried the ball
21 times for 106 yards, was
the first A&M freshman to
break the 100-yard barrier
since Joe Weber did against
Missouri in 1999.
Joseph has yet to find the
endzone during his freshman
season, but with sophomore
Richard Whitaker moving to
receiver, Joseph should have
more chances next week against
Oklahoma State.

most impressive of the group.
Through two games, Mangum has
converted five field goals and has
been perfect on extra points.
Mangum also made a 49-yard and
a 51-yard field goal during UT’s
route of North Carolina.
Texas Tech sophomore Robert
Treece, Nebraska freshman
Sandro DeAngelis and Iowa State
freshman Tony Yelk, all new
starters, combined for a total of
five field goals and 16 extra points
in their inaugural games.

With its win Saturday, UT posted
its 241st game without being
shutout, the longest such streak in
Baseball

Bagwell agreed with the
game cancellations. At least,
for now.
“Here in Houston, when
you see something like that
happen, you don’t feel a part of
it because you’re not there,’’
Bagwell said.
“If I was a Yankee taking
the field tonight or tomorrow
night. I’d feel nervous not only
for myself but all fans; that’s a
prime target. Those people (ter
rorists) have problems, taking
out innocent people like that.”
Astros reliever Billy Wagner
also felt concern for fans.
“After seeing what went on,
how can you not be con
cerned?” Wagner asked. “They
targeted the Pentagon. If they
aren't afraid of that, then they
aren’t scared to come after
Enron Field.”
“We are not rocket scien
tists. We’re not doing any
thing for the greater good.
We’re just baseball players.
the conference. The last time the
Longhorns were blanked by an
opponent was in 1980, when
Baylor tallied a 16-0 win in Waco.
UT has scored more than 40
points in its last nine home games.
The second longest streak in the
league is 150 points and belongs
to Colorado. The Buffaloes have
scored a combined 92 points
against Colorado State and San
Jose State.
The ’Horns still have a long way
to go to catch the current NCAA
mark for consecutive games with
out being shutout. Brigham
Young University has not been
blanked since a Sept. 1975,
against Arizona State, a span of
327 games.
But there are people who
come to these games that do
make a difference.”
Players have been languish
ing at their hotel since the
attacks. Getting into Enron
Field for a workout was a treat.
Astros manager Larry
Dierker would like to see the
game schedule resume as soon
as possible.
“1 can’t image being held
hostage by potential terrorism
and doing away with football,
basketball and everything that
draws a crowd,” Dierker said.
“Everybody has their own
feelings how to react. I don’t
want to seem cold or uncaring
but anytime 1 have a problem,
1 want to get beyond it and
move on. How long is appro
priate? 1 don’t know the
answer to that.”
Baker isn’t sure when the
season should resume.
“You don’t know until you
get there and besides they did
n’t ask me,” Baker said. “I’m
just the foreman of the shop.
One of 32 shops. If it’s Friday,
that’s what we’ll do.”
