By Jonathan Wall THE BATTALION The Aggies will head to Ames, Iowa for a showdown with the Iowa State Cyclones on Oct. 9 in hopes of continuing the Cyclones woes from last season. There wasn’t much that the Cyclones could take out of last season’s 2-10 record, except that there’s always next year. The Cyclones hope to bring the University back to its past greatness, when it went to three consecutive bowl games from 2000-2002. With an older and wiser team coming back this sea son, the team hopes to take advantage of a schedule that doesn’t include Oklahoma or Texas and try to finish with a .500 winning percentage. The Cyclone offense was nonexistent last year, scoring a mere 43 points over the last six games of the season. The stretch included back-to-back shutout losses, 28-0 and 45-0 to Kansas State and Nebraska respectively. The Iowa State offense returns seven starters; but that doesn’t say much since the receiver, quar terback and running back positions are all huge questions going into the season. The Cyclones quarterback position is wide open this year with last season’s starter, sophomore Aus tin Flynn and redshirt freshmen Bret Meyer bat tling it out for the starting job. Flynn faltered down the stretch last season, losing the last 10 games of the season and throwing for a paltry 1,238 yards and five touchdowns. It’s no surprise that Flynn’s inconsistent play and lack of leadership has led head Coach Dan McCamey to view Meyer as the current leader going into the season. The running back and receiving corps are two posi tions in dire need of help after a must-forget season. The Cyclone receivers are going into this season look ing for someone to lead the pack after all five starters from last season departed. There is a very good chance that a freshman will be the team's leading receiver after the first game of the season. The Cyclones will look to redshirt freshmen Todd Blythe and Milan Moses for a big boost to a group that is a relative unknown. Just like the receiving position, a lack of playing time is what the Cyclones are missing at running back. Out of the six running backs going into this season, five out of the six are true or redshirt fresh men. Leading rusher, sophomore Stevie Hicks, is re turning after a strong second half of the season that saw him rush for 471 yards on 123 carries. While he is penciled in as the starter this season, Hicks shouldn't look too far ahead with star recruits Jason Scales and Brandon Gunn in his rearview mirror. The Cyclone defense looks to make some serious changes to a group that gave up more than 30 point per game last year. The team hopes that senior comer- back Ellis Hobbes and senior middle linebacker Bran don Brown can shore up some of the gaping holes in VS.

Aggie Bucks accepted. last season's secondary and line. The Cyclone defense is going to be extremely young this season returning only four seniors, the team w ill look to its speed and strength to overpower opposing offenses in hopes of getting to the quarterback early and often. The battle in the trenches between the Aggies and the Cyclones should be a player mismatch unless Iowa State can answer its question marks at quarter back, receiver and running back. The Aggies should look to overpower the Cyclones' soft offensive line in hopes of getting to Iowa States’ young quarterback. The Aggies offense should then look to take ad vantage of a young Cyclone secondary by allow ing Reggie McNeal to pick apart the defense piece by piece. Once A&M has established the pass, McNeal should look to star running back Courtney Lewis to break through the huge holes in the Cy clone line for some big gains.

Smith finished the game 21-29 with 359 pass ing yards and had a role in five of the six Utah touchdowns. On the ground, senior running back Marty Johnson rushed for 81 yards, and Smith added an other 107 yards. Overall, the Utah offense amassed a total of 582 yards. Despite the score being so <4 . This is a new year and this is a new Utah team. The tides can turn around in a year, in a month, in a second, and the tides have turned for us. — Corey Dodds Utah senior linebacker high, Dodds said Utah was not attempting to run the score up to get revenge for last year’s meeting between the two teams. “Of course winning your home opener against a great team like A&M is great,” Dodds said. “But for revenge, no. This is a new year and this is a new Utah team. That’s just how college football is. The tides can turn around in a year, in a month, in a second, and the tides have turned for us.” FRIDAY September 3, 2004 8pm - Midnight Memorial Student Center ☆ FREE & bowling % L p OOl T)00 C/m cbjaS^ poo d 4^ 979.845.1515 aggienights.tamu.edu /t For special needs, please contact us CX three days prior to the event at 845-1515.
