The Cowboys had the 28th best national pass offense last fall. Junior receiver Jovon Bouknight is expected to put up huge num bers and should be the main tar get for Bramlet. Coaches are also impressed with sophomore run ning back Ivan Harrison and have penned him to take the starting job in their home opener against Appa lachian State on Sept. 4. Defensively, the Cowboys will look to the leadership of an experi enced linebacker corps to ten-orize offenses. Seniors Randy Tschamer and Guy Tuell will start at middle and weak-side linebacker, respec tively, and will provide experienced support for the defensive line. With many recognizable improvements made, the Mountain West confer ence has penned the 2004 Cowboys as the “Team on the Rise.” AJ|M «• Texas A&M Wyoming * GAME 2 DATE: September 11 TIME: 2:30 p.m. SITE: Kyle Field, College Station,Texas LAST MEETING: 28-20 (W) (2001) KEY PLAYERS Corey Bramlet Jovon Bouknight Graphic By: Gracie Arenas • owner, Si stros pound Cincinnati for 11 runs 1NCINNAT1 (AP) — The Houston Astros lare hitting their way into the NL wild-card race. rad Ausmus hit a tiebreaking three-run hom er m the sixth inning and drove in a season-high on! visit^B 11 ' runs as t l" ie surging Astros reached double ures in runs for the third time in the last four ■nes in an 11-3 victory over the Cincinnati f ds on Monday night.

He gave up three runs and eight hits, and struck out a season-high six. Adam Dunn hit his 40th homer for the Reds, and Felipe Lopez added a two-run shot. “It’s just not good timing for us right now,” Dunn said. “We’re playing as bad as we’ve played in a while, and it doesn’t help to be play ing teams that are really hot.” With the game tied at 3, Jeff Kent reached on a leadoff infield single, Mike Lamb grounded into fielder’s choice, Jose Vizcaino singled and Ausmus homered to center on a 3-0 pitch from Phil Norton. It was Ausmus’ first homer in 59 at-bats since July 25. “We’ve been getting timely hitting, just not usually from me,” Ausmus said. “I was looking for a fastball up and out over the plate, and I was lucky enough to get one.” Houston broke it open with a four-run seventh, including Berkman’s two-run double and Aus- mus’s run-scoring single. Berkman scored when Dunn failed to catch Kent’s drive to the warning track in left for a two-base error. d new 3tt ampus, Si 896. lew house +utilities, ( es,» $300.
