htinued from page 2B
Both quarterbacks took advan-
agt of McNeal’s absence dur-
ng the spring to strengthen their
ms to the backup role.
The silver lining of Reggie
playing was that Ty Bran-
and Stephen McGee got
t of playing time, and T.J.
nders) as well,” Franchione
. “Those were bonuses to
those guys as far along as
sible. It was a great oppor-
ity for them, and they took
chantage of it.”

h an inilHity and won over the crowd

ffhe tight end situation is
another much improved posi-
Jn for the Aggies. They are
Bo-deep at both tight end po
sitions. Redshirt freshman Joey
Bomas is healthy after battling
[shoulder and arm injuries and is
Bathletic receiver that coaches
Bn’t wait to use. Junior Boone
Slutz and sophomore Quinlin
Germany will also help solidify
thi tight end position that is
n page Slch an integral part of Fran-
clione’s offense.
■“Joey is doing a good job
\ rp rip it now,” Franchione said.
Ijv “fhomas has improved physi-
cllly and technically since his
ss " re. shirt days. 1 think his con-
ftdence level (increases) every
gths. i»y as j ie g ets more rC p S . | think
ls if 't had to start today it would
blhim or Boone Stutz or Quin-
i 1 ” lin Germany that would start.
It’s a pretty close battle, and all

because you need tight ends in

defensive scheme is already pay
ing dividends for the Aggies.
“Right now we’re play
ing much faster,” Eggen said.
“Knowing what they’re sup
posed to do gives them the con
fidence to cut it loose and not
have to think as much.”
Sophomore Bryce Reed
leads the charge in the weight
room with a bench press of
465 pounds, and senior Mar
cus Jasmin weighed in with a
squat of 670 pounds.
Redshirt freshman Chris
Harrington is the fastest of the
group, clocking in at 4.76 sec
onds in the 40-yard dash.
Redshirt freshmen Jorrie
Adams, high school teammate
Joseph “Red” Bryant, Jack
and Harrington have all been
impressive in spring drills and
are already pushing for playing
time. Bryant and Jack are listed
as starters on the depth chart,
supplanting veterans Marcus

Jasmin and David Ross.
“All the redshirts have a
real good spirit about them
selves,” Eggen said. “They’re
trying to make this unit the
best they can.”
“No positions are secure, and
the players have accepted that/’
Eggen said. “Our philosophy is
to be able to be flexible. We’re
trying to put the best combina
tion out there.”
Eggen said he wants to have
as many linemen in his rotation
as possible, which is important
with the number of teams in
the Big 12 who rely heavily on
passing the football.
Aggie head coach Dennis
Franchione said it’s imperative
that the defense be able to throw
fresh linemen into the mix to
harass Big 12 quarterbacks.
“If we can put 10 guys out
there, we will. If we can play 12,
we’d like to,” Franchione said.
The line’s pride took a seri
ous hit last season, and it’s de
termined to live up to the prec
edent set by generations before
them.
