Big 12 players make solid case
for Heisman consideration
■ FREE -r) • T ^ FREE
Running Late:
Need convenient daytime parking in Northgate??
The newly paved St, Mary’s parking lot (old “mud lot”)
at 200 Nagle is now available for weekday parking.
(AP) — In a year with no clear Heisman Trophy
favorite, why not take a long look at Texas Tech’s
Kliff Kingsbury?
Or Chris Brown of Colorado, for that matter? Or
Quentin Griffin of Oklahoma? Or Seneca Wallace
ot Iowa State? Or Ell Roberson of Kansas State?
They have all had outstanding seasons in the
rugged Big 12 Conference, giving Heisman and
all-conference voters plenty to think about.
“1 don’t know who it is,” Texas A&M coach
R C. Slocum said Monday when asked about a
Heisman favorite from the league. ‘‘Maybe it’s a
compliment that we’ve got so many that one does
n’t stand out, because we have so many who are
having good seasons.”
Kingsbury’s numbers are Heisman-like, to be
sure, and he also has led the No. 24 Red Raiders to
within a victory of the Big 12 South title, something
few would have expected when the season began.
“I believe he deserves the recognition,” said
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, whose team faces
Kingsbury this week for the South Division title.
‘‘He’s a tremendous player. I’m sure there’s a lot
of other quarterbacks around who wouldn’t do it
near as well as he has.”
Kingsbury has completed 68 percent of his
passes for 4,455 yards and 41 touchdowns. He had
six TDs Saturday in a 42-38 victory over then-No.
4 Texas that knocked the Longhorns out of the
chase for a conference or national title.
He threw 60 passes against Texas without being
intercepted — only 10 of his 634 passes this season
have been picked off.
‘‘You’ve got to do something to get him off
his rhythm, and we couldn’t do it,” said Texas
coach Mack Brown. ‘‘That’s the best I’ve ever
seen him play.”
Brown, Stoops and other coaches on the Big 12’s
weekly conference call said it would be tough to
name one league MVP or Heisman candidate from
the Big 12. Stoops touted his tailback, Griffin, a
1,000-yard rusher who has six straight 100-yqrd
games. Brown said his quarterback, Chris Simms,
deserves consideration.
Chris Brown, who leads the
nation in rushing with 1,744
yards, has helped lead Colorado
to the North Division title. Iowa
State’s Wallace was mentioned
as a Heisman front-runner when
the Cyclones were 6-1, although
they have since lost four of five.
Roberson’s play has been a big
Kingsbury reason why Kansas State has
surged of late.
Baylor coach Kevin Steele hasn’t seen Wallace
this year. But his team has faced Brown,
Roberson, Kingsbury, Simms and Griffin the past
five weeks.
‘‘They’re all great players and with what they’re
asked to do, they do it very well,” he said. ‘‘To pick
one of ’em, I don’t have to so I’m not going to.”
Colorado coach Gary Barnett said a league’s
strength will generally result in no clear individual
being produced.
‘‘Those things just happen, you don’t produce
’em,” he said. ‘‘Some guy catches fire and has a
great year.”
But as he has done all season, Texas Tech coach
Mike Leach said Kingsbury is clearly the choice as
the league’s top player.
“They act like last Saturday’s game is just
some unusual occurrence, some aberration on the
radar screen. That’s not the case,” Leach said.
“He’s been doing stuff like this for three years.
“You can look up the numbers and statistics or
whatever statistics you think are important to mea
sure the quality of a player and make your own
decision,” he said. “I feel like those numbers
pretty much indicate that he is, though.”
NFL backups making big impact
(AP) - Earl Morrall, Jeff
Hostetler and Tom Brady are
the patron saints of backup
quarterbacks.
Perhaps soon to join them is
a group that has turned the 2002
NFL season into the year of the
substitute.
Chad Pennington, Marc
Bulger and Tommy Maddox
already have stepped in to help
their teams win, and next up
might be Koy Detmer and Steve
Beuerlein.
Those two* are the most
recent players boosted from
second string to starter in a sea
son that has ranged from diffi
cult to dangerous for No. 1
quarterbacks.
By the end of this weekend’s
schedule, 17 teams will have
made quarterback changes due to
injuries or poor performances.
Detmer, with six NFL starts on
his resume, and the veteran
Beuerlein take over first-place
teams this weekend, and all anyone
expects them to do is keep winning
— right into the postseason.
“It’s a huge difference,” said
Detmer, who replaces a Pro
Bowler and the Eagles’ top
offensive force, Donovan
McNabb (broken ankle). “Now
you’re the guy out there trying to
make things happen.”
Beuerlein, 37, has a strong his
tory as a starter in a 16-season
career with six teams. The Denver
Broncos’ backup steps in for
Brian Griese (knee), who could
return early next month.
Beuerlein missed last season with
an elbow injury but was on the
verge of replacing an ineffective
Griese in the season opener.
Griese rallied and kept the
job — until he was hurt in
Seattle on Sunday.
“1 love the game, that’s why
I’m still playing it at my age,”
Beuerlein said. “I will go into this
game like any other game I’ve
gone into in the past, believing in
myself, believing in my team
mates and expecting to score
touchdowns.”
<5 A
Now you’re the
guy out there trying
to make things
happen.
— Koy Detmer
Eagles' backup quarterback
While injuries are forcing
Detmer and Beuerlein to move up
the depth chart, Bulger and
Maddox are moving down. Bulger
led the St. Louis Rams back from
an 0-5 start with five successive
victories in place of Kurt Warner,
who returns Sunday at
Washington from a broken finger.
To his credit, Bulger, the
league’s leading passer, isn’t
complaining. After all, Warner is
a two-time league MVP who
went from Trent Green’s backup
in 1999 to the Super Bowl title in
five months.
That began a string of three
straight championships won by
quarterbacks who began the year
on the bench: Trent Dilfer for
Baltimore and Brady for New
England followed.
Bulger might not get the same
opportunity — yet.
“I’m just happy to do what I
did, and we have Kurt Warner
coming back to be our starting
quarterback,” Bulger said. “I
don’t think anyone in this room is
disappointed about that. ’ ’
Kordell Stewart’s return to
starting quarterback probably
doesn’t meet with such unani
mous acclaim among his team
mates in Pittsburgh. Maddox,
who bruised his spinal cord and
sustained a concussion, got a
clean bill of health Tuesday, but is
listed as out for Sunday’s game
with Cincinnati.
Maddox, the journeyman who
was the XFL’s most valuable
player in the league’s only season,
took over for Stewart in the third
game. He guided the Steelers
back from an 0-2 start to the top
of the AFC North.
Now, it’s the starter-tumed-
backup-tumed-starter’s turn again.
“Sitting on the side isn’t the
easiest thing to deal with,”
Stewart said, “but now the oppor
tunity is here and it’s time to
move on and help this team get
back on the right page.”
That’s precisely what Morrall
did for the Colts in 1968 in place
of John Unitas, winning league
MVP honors and the conference
championship. And in 1972,
when Bob Griese was injured,
Morrall guided the Dolphins the
rest of the way to the NFL’s only
undefeated season.
Hostetler took over for injured
Phil Simms and took the Giants to
the 1990 championship. Dilfer
was promoted in the middle of the
2000 schedule and went unbeaten
as the Ravens won it all.
And who now?
The NFL certainly isn’t lack
ing for candidates.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Volleyball team heads to Tech
The Texas A&M volleyball team is on the road tonight
for a match against the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
The Aggies (18-8, 10-7) suffered their worst home
defeat in since 1996 on Sunday after getting swept
by Kansas State.
A&M won its previous meeting with Tech (11-14,
6-10) at G. Rollie White Coliseum, posting a 3-2 win
in October.
The Aggies, who have won five of their last six,
are led by freshman outside hitter Laura Jones.
Jones is averaging 3.84 kills per game and has a
.281 hitting percentage.
First serve is set for 7 p.m. at the United Spirit Arena.
Aggies receive Nationals bid
For only the fifth time in more than 80 years of
Aggie cross country history, the men’s team will be
taking a trip to the National meet.
The at-large bid for the men comes as a result of
its third place finishes in both the Big 12 meet and
the Regional competition. The Aggies were led by
sophomore Jonathan Lewis and junior Andrew
Cook in both meets.
Senior Melissa Gulli and freshmen Meredith
Crane, who placed 8th and 9th at the Regionals,
both received automatic bids for the women’s
team. The NCAA national meet, will be Nov. 25 in
Terre Haute, Ind.
