“We wanted to play an out-of-region,
op-25 team,” Cano said. “Playing at one of
he toughest places, against one of the best
Reams will be a test, and we’ll find out how
ood we are.”
The Anteaters are led by senior defender
Alyson Spencer and sophomore forward
Britney Webster. Webster has two game
winning goals already this season. Yet,
UC-Irvine has yet to be tested this year and
traveling to A&M is a tall task.
“We started out kind of slow, but the last
game we played well,” Cano said. “Going to
College Station is no easy task, and we will
learn a lot about ourselves. Playing at A&M
will get us going, and our kids will eat it up.
We’re looking forward to it.”

rately and on a line,” Torbush said.
“And he probably has as quick of
release as I’ve ever seen.”
With game-breakers like senior
wide receiver Airese Currie, the Ti
gers aren’t short on speed either.
“It’s going to be as fine athletic
team as anybody we’re going to
see,” said A&M head coach Dennis
Franchione. “We obviously have
two or three outstanding teams on
our schedule that are going to have
great speed, but across the board
speed - this team has it.”
Like the Aggies, though. Gem-
son is a little banged up at the run
ning back position. Junior Duane
Coleman, last year’s starter, has
yet to play a down this season af
ter breaking a bone in his foot last
month, but is listed as question
able for Saturday’s game.
Coaches from both sides hesi
tate to call this game vital, noting
the importance of every game,
but all understand how signifi
cant a win this weekend could be
for their respective team.
For Clemson, it would mean
getting back on track and living
up to its high potential. The Tigers
can’t afford to open up 1 -2 with all
the obstacles that still lie ahead.
And for the Aggies, a win
would mean making a statement
to the rest of the Big 12. It would
mean showing that they can con
tend with a top-level team with a
high-powered offense.
