Neither Raiders nor Bucs
solely one-dimensional
By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Hey, Super Bowl fans, the
Oakland Raiders are not wimps
on defense and the Tampa Bay
Bucs are not buffoons on offense.
True, neither is ranked at
the top of the league the way
the Raiders are with the ball
and the way the Buccaneers are
when the opposition has it.
And neither has gotten much
credit for lifting its team to a
conference title.
“But we’ve played well,”
Raiders cornerback Charles
Woodson said. “We’ve been
beaten up and we still played
well. So we’re not concerned
about their defense getting all
the attention.’’
Nor are the Bucs offended
that they’re pretty much
ignored while all the recogni
tion goes to Oakland’s high-
powered attack.
“If we win the Super Bowl,
that will change,’’ wide receiv
er Keyshawn Johnson said.
“The Super Bowl puts the
stamp and the legacy on what
you did in your career. The
great players win Super Bowls.
The stats don’t matter — it’s
the ring.’’
Tampa Bay ranked 24th in
yards gained (27th rushing,
15th passing). The Bucs scored
346 points, but the defense
scored five touchdowns, four
by NFL defensive player of the
year Derrick Brooks, and the
special teams had one. The
defense also set up a bunch of
points by forcing 38 turnovers,
including 31 interceptions.
But the Buccaneers have
begun to establish an identity
offensively, and they’ve been
efficient enough in the playoffs.
“We have attitude,’’ Pro
Bowl fullback Mike Alston
said. “We haven’t always
looked pretty, but we get the
job done one way or another.
We try to be very physical up
front, we have a wide receiver
corps that will go downfield
and block. They are horses.
“Remember, we have a new
offense, a new O line since Jon
(Gruden) was hired as our coach.
Ask any player in the NFL when
you have gone through dramatic

Tampa Bay Buccaneer head coach Jon Gruden is ready to face off with
his old team, the Oakland Raiders, in Sunday’s Super Bowl XXXVII.
changes like we have, to be
asked to be perfect in nine
months, it can’t happen.”
Here’s what the stars on the
Bucs’ stingy defense believe
can happen: Their teammates on
offense will rise to the challenge
of winning a championship.
“We’ve got an inferno
going,’’ said All-Pro defensive
tackle Warren Sapp, “and
when that three-headed mon
ster — offense, defense, special
teams — raises his head, he is
impossible to slay.’’
Oakland’s defenders say they
are ready for that monster,
regardless of how many heads it
has. The Raiders have plenty of
big names on defense, from All-
Pro safety Rod Woodson to cor
nerback Charles Woodson to
linebacker Bill Romanowski to
tackle Sam Adams. Rod
Woodson, Romanowski and
Adams already have won Super
Bowls with other teams.
The Raiders ranked 1 1th in
yards allowed and a very
impressive third against the
run, ahead of the Bucs, who
were fifth. But Oakland was
23rd against the pass and
allowed 304 points, 108 more
than the NFC champions.
“They might not get the
notoriety of Tampa’s defense,”
Raiders coach Bill Callahan
said, “but it is a defense that
has improved and continues to
make plays. The value of our
defense was so important to us
down the stretch.”
Oakland’s defense also has
injury concerns, most notably
Charles Woodson’s leg.
Although he made the Pro Bowl,
he’s had a difficult stretch, par
ticularly in the playoffs.
”We overcame a lot of
injuries on that side of the
ball,” Callahan said. ”How we
stayed together to do that and
play at such a high level is
astronomical.”
The number of points the
Raiders usually put up is astro
nomical. If the game turns into
a shootout, the Bucs are done.
However, if Tampa can
establish its tempo when it has
the ball, how long will league
MVP Rich Gannon and his com
patriots get to assert themselves?
Adams, a Super Bowl win
ner two years ago with
Baltimore, says not to count on
that happening. Besides, it’s
not what everyone wants.
“Our job is to get off the
field as quick as possible and
let our guys do their thing on
offense,” Adams said. “I’d pay
to see it, too: No. 1 vs. No. 1.
“Yeah, we have a solid
defense and they are a good
offense. But it’s not what peo
ple are paying to see.”
McLane, Biggio holding talks
HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Astros owner
Drayton McLane is considering a contract exten
sion request by 14-year veteran Craig Biggio,
who will be moved from second base to the out
field this season with the arrival of Jeff Kent.
McLane and Biggio met for two hours
Wednesday and the Astros owner planned more
meetings Thursday with team officials to consid
er keeping Biggio beyond the end of his contract
at the end of this season. McLane said he didn’t
expect a decision until next week.
“I told (Biggio) we’d review it and get back
SPORTS IN BRIEF
Aggie soccer team
receives accolades
Five members of the Texas A&M
soccer team recently received post
season awards by the National
Soccer Coaches Association and
Soccer America Magazine.
Freshman goalkeeper Kati Jo
Spisak was awarded a spot on
Soccer America’s Freshman All-
American team. Spisak led the
Aggies to their second consecu
tive Elite Eight appearance in the
NCAA Championships, stopping
six of nine penalty kicks in A&M’s
first two playoff games.
Sophomore forward Linsey
Woodard, junior midfielder Kristen
Strutz and senior defender Jessica
Martin also earned accolades.
Woodard was named a third-
team All-American after leading
the Aggies in goals and points for
the second consecutive year.
Woodard, Strutz and Martin
were all named to the first team
All-Central Region squad.
Strutz led the Aggies with 10
assists and added eight goals
during the 2002 season. With
nine more assists, Strutz will
become the A&M record-holder
for assists.
Martin was a leader of the A&M
defense that posted nine
shutouts during the 2002 season.
She also added a goal and seven
assists for the team.

Kemp who averages 10.3 points
and 5.6 rebounds per game. “We
don’t get down on ourselves at
all. Coach says we have to keep
our heads up. There isn’t pres
sure, we just need to go out and
play the best we can.”
If the Aggies want to keep
the Lady Jayhawks from enter-
to him,” McLane said. “We’ll have to look at
our long-term finances and see how we can fit
this into the budget.”
Biggio has spent his entire major league
career with the Astros and ranks as the team’s
all-time leader in games played, years played,
career hits and runs scored. McLane has said he
wants Biggio and first baseman Jeff Bagwell to
end their careers with the Astros.
Biggio signed a four-year contract worth $33
million in 1999. He is set to earn $8 million this

play, they must shoot better and
control the play of Ransburg and
Kemp beneath the basket. In the
Aggies’ most recent loss to
Baylor, A&M gave up 50 of the
Bears’ 66 points in the post.
“We gave (Baylor) too
many points,” Gillom said.
“They got a lot of them right
there in the paint.”
Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at
Reed Arena.
