IRVING — The day after the
Arizona game last year, Quincy
iarter was replaced as the Dallas
Cowboys’ starting quarterback
md the team had a losing record
for the rest of the season.
After a 24-7 win over the
Cardinals on Sunday, the
Cowboys (3-1) are alone at the
lop of the NFC East standings.
Carter, who regained his
during coach Bill Parcells’
firsitraining camp, is leading the
NFL's top-ranked offense.
What a difference the coach
imade in his first month of
le regular season.
“He’s brought an attitude
Hind here that’s second-to-
none. That’s why our tempera-
: has changed, because of
way he is,” Carter said
don't think we’d be
3-1 without him.”
The Cowboys have their first
ee-game winning streak since
they were 3-0 and last alone atop
the NFC East to start 1999, their
last playoff season. Dallas has at
360 total yards in four
games for the first time
since 1993, the year it won its
second straight Super Bowl
championship.
There are plenty of reasons to
feel good after three straight 5-
H seasons.
Still, Parcells is downplaying
the early success.
“We’re doing some good
things, I just don’t want to enu
merate the things we’re doing
better, because I don’t think
we’re ready to hear them all,”
Parcells said. “I’ll tell the players,
but I don’t want anybody to think
we’re doing great. We’re not.”
Dallas won consecutive
games in New York against the
Giants and Jets, both playoff
teams last season. But the teams
the Cowboys have beaten have a
combined 3-10 record.
u
He’s brought an
attitude around
here that’s second-to-
none... I don’t
think we’d be 3-1
without him.
— Quincy Carter
Cowboys' quarterback
“I’m trying to get the team to
improve and understand what it
takes to be successful,” Parcells
said. “We’ve got quite a few
guys starting to figure that out.
We’ve got a whole bushel basket
full that don’t know what’s
going on.”
The coach’s response doesn’t
surprise the Cowboys.
“He’s going to be pushing all
of the way. That’s his style, how
he does it. It’s working,” said
defensive tackle La’Roi Glover.
“He doesn’t like to lose, he does
n’t like mistakes. And when you
win, the ante goes up.”
The Cowboys play Sunday
against Philadelphia (2-2),
which has won the last six
games against Dallas by an aver
age margin of 24 points. Dallas
then plays at Detroit (1 -4) before
six straight games, through
Thanksgiving Day vs. Miami (3-
1), against teams that have win
ning records.
“We have to try to put some
wins together and get in position
for November. This isn’t going
to be an easy task,” Parcells said.
In position for what?
“Just to stay in the race,” he
said. “Your whole goal is in
Week 16 to be playing for some
thing. We want to get to the
halfway point on the plus-side of
the ledger.”
Through one-fourth of the
season, they’ve done that.
The Cowboys lead the NFL
with 382.2 yards per game.
Carter has completed 71 of 126
passes (56 percent) for 1,031
yards with seven touchdowns
and four interceptions.
Carter was benched last sea
son after throwing four intercep
tions — two near the goal line
— in a 9-6 loss at Arizona that
also included a heated sideline
argument with owner Jerry
Jones. The Cowboys were 3-4
when Chad Hutchinson took
over at quarterback.
When Parcells was hired, he
gave both quarterbacks a clean
slate. Carter won the job after
working with new offensive coor
dinator Maurice Carthon and
quarterback coach Sean Payton.
“He is now more a complete
quarterback than a young guy
trying to learn how to play,” said
receiver Joey Galloway.

DENVER (AP) — Authorities are tightening
Security before NBA star Kobe Bryant arrives in
Colorado for a preliminary hearing Thursday that
iiig/itnot even take place.
Dozens of threats against the prosecutor, the
1 judge and Bryant’s 19-year-old accuser helped
: prompt the tougher steps. Armed guards will be at
lliecourthouse, one entrance will be locked, and a
metal detector will be set up at the other door for
only the third time in years, a sheriff’s spokes
woman said Monday.
The question is whether there will be a hearing
to determine whether the Los Angeles Lakers star
will stand trial. Many believe that for tactical rea
sons,his attorneys will waive his right to a prelim
inary hearing, which would clear the way for a
rape trial sometime next year.
“If the defense doesn’t waive it, what’s going to
liappen is that the public, and of course potential
jurors, is going to be left with an image of what
happened in that room — and it’s going to be an
image that goes unrebutted,” said Norm Early, a
former Denver district attorney. “I think it would
he very detrimental to Kobe Bryant and I just don’t
ste him risking that kind of exposure.”
Prosecutors have said they plan to call a sher
iff’s detective as a witness to discuss the investiga
tion and conclusions reached by a nurse who
examined Bryant’s accuser.
Legal experts say the defense will probably
waive the hearing, in part because the judge has
ruled the woman cannot be forced to testify and
undergo cross-examination by the defense.
Either way, Bryant still has to appear Thursday
before Judge Frederick Gannett to show he is com
plying with conditions of his $25,000 bail. He will
have to return to Colorado this week from Hawaii,
where the Lakers are training.
Bryant, 25, was charged with sexual assault
after the woman said he attacked her June 30 at
the mountain resort where she worked and he
was a guest. Bryant has said the two had consen
sual sex.
Legal experts say the earliest a trial could begin
is February or March; it could also be pushed back
until next summer, after the NBA season.
Whatever the timeline, “there’s going to be a
paper fight like you’ve never seen before. The
defense will probably file every motion that’s ever
been filed in any sexual assault case,” Early said.

[Aggieland when the yell leaders
would proudly proclaim,
|“Fightin’Texas Aggie 27 in a
row at Kyle Field.” Aggies were
proud of that. It was a shame to
see it go, and a greater to shame
to watch the memory slowly
fade over the past couple of sea
sons. This memory for the older
Aggies helps create some per
spective for Nebraska’s success
inks home gym.
At one point the Huskers
won 101 straight conference
games at Nebraska Coliseum.
Their record on their home
court is no accident. The idea
that fan support breeds winning
is as true as the concept that
winning breeds fan support,
especially on the collegiate
level where fan support is a
major recruiting tool.
“It makes them jump another
couple inches higher, and hit a
little harder,” said A&M coach
Laurie Corbelli before this year’s
home opener. “(And to) be a lit
tle more intense. It’s the adrena
line — the louder the better.”
No need to look much fur
ther than a game earlier this
season at G. Rollie to see why a
real home court advantage is so
important. In the match against
Southwest Missouri State, the
Aggies were down two games
to none and trailed in the third
game 27-20, a lead that looked
insurmountable. However,
A&M strung a couple of points
together and ignited the dwin
dling crowd, eventually defeat
ing the Bears in five games. The
momentum shift was tangible
both in the stands and on the
floor, as the team was able to
feed off the crowd’s energy.
The Huskers average 4,390
fans in a 4,000 seat gym. G.
Rollie White holds 7,800 and
has never seen a crowd of more
than 3,500. With a student
body of more than 45,000 it
doesn’t seem like that much of
a stretch to top Nebraska. It’s
just a matter of going to the
game and finding out if the
Aggies ever will.
