prove tough to stop. Returning quarterback Bryan
Randall - who is being pushed by his highly touted
backup, Marcus Vick - was a model of efficiency
last year against the Aggies. In what was his first
road start, Randall completed 10-of-ll pass
attempts with no interceptions.
Randall’s favorite target, preseason Belitnikof
nominee Ernest Wilfdrd, and two-way playmaker
DeAngelo Hall will give the Aggie secondary its
toughest challenge this season.
Wilford provided the only big play in last year’s
game and says he expects to have a big game despite
the weather predictions.
“1 play better in inclement weather,” Wilford
said. “The defense has to react to what we’re doing.
They play a little off because they don’t want to get
beat deep and when they’re backpedaling, there’s a
possibility they might slip.”
While recognizing Wilford’s exceptional talent,
Tombush reiterated the fact that stopping the run
comes first.
"We really can’t focus too much of our efforts
to stopping Wilford because that would take anoth
er man out of the box on the running game,”
Torbush said.
"Stopping the run will be our number one priori
ty in this game.”
On the defensive side, the Hokies return nine of
11 starters to a unit that last fall held the Aggies’
offense to just 156 yards and three points — a per-
formance that led to the demotion of then-offensive
coordinator Dino Babers.
Even though head coach Dennis Franchione was
not around last year, he is well aware of that offen
sive performance.
"The offense has been reminded that they did not
play very well in that game,” Franchione said. “Any
offensive kid that has any pride about him is going
to accept the challenge to redeem himself.”

Kansas Gets Offensive
Folks in Lawrence, Kan., are accustomed to
iffensive production from their Kansas Jayhawks,
Hit the scoreboard often gets more use in basketball
;ames than on the gridiron.
Kansas (2-1) has disproved that notion the past
wo weeks with offensive outbursts in their 46-24
ind 42-35 victories against UNLV and Wyoming.
The Jayhawks’ high-scoring victories already
:qualed last season’s win total.
Second-year head coach Mark Mangino, the
offensive coordinator on Oklahoma's 2000 national
?hampionship team, appears to be putting his
B itamp on the program. With the Big 12 North
s wantedasap for3/2to )j v j s j on wea k er than previous years, the

The Texas A&M volleyball team (7-3, 0-1
Big 12) came up just short in its Big 12
opener against the Nebraska Cornhuskers
on Wednesday at Nebraska Coliseum.
After four games, the teams were even at
two games won apiece. The Aggies rallied
back from a 30-28 setback in the first game
to take games two and three, each by a
score of 30-26.
However, Nebraska proved too tough, as
it rallied back with 30-26 and 15-9 wins to
take the match, 3-2.
The five-time defending league champion
‘Huskers improved to 9-1 overall and 1-0 in
the Big 12 with the win. NU has now won 70
straight conference matches.
The Aggies will return to action on Sunday
when they visit the University of Houston.
Sunday’s match will begin at 2 p.m.
