OOMMATE:
e Texas Tech Red Raiders put 56 con-
live points on the board after falling 21 -
ind the TCU Homed Frogs last week-
|n Lubbock.
:h ended up whipping the Frogs, 70-35,
at was expected to be a close match-up
inoffensive barrage. This week. Tech
coach Mike Leach and the Raiders
their high-flying offense to Lawrence,
, to open Big 12 play against the Kan-
layhawks — a much improved North
ference foe. Kansas beat up on a weak
"do team two weeks ago, 63-14, but fell
wly to Northwestern, 17-14, to post its
jt loss of the season Saturday,
e Jayhawks are looking to fight back
the thick of the wide-open North divi-
on after losing standout quarterback Bill
Ittemore to the NFL.
ast week was a hard-fought game,” said
|sas head coach Mark Mangino. “We
to play better fundamental football in
bases and play well for two halves as we
conference play. Texas Tech has such an
ient offense, and they're playing pretty
well on defense and forcing turnovers.”
The game was moved from October to ac
commodate television broadcasting, which
turned out to be a wise move for the streak
ing Red Raiders. Their bye week will now
fall between the Nebraska and Texas games.
When the Raiders begin to heat up, it takes
a mighty wind to cool them down. Kansas
may not be able to ice the Raiders, even with
a home crowd. Tech and KU kick at 2:30
p.m on Fox Sports Net.
No. 5 Texas (2-0)
vs. Rice (2-0)
The No. 5 Texas Longhorns return to ac
tion this week to face the Rice Owls at Darrel
K. Royal Memorial Stadium in Austin. After
taking a week off, Texas standout running
back Cedric Benson and quarterback Vince
Young are looking to tear apart a weaker op
ponent at home. Benson is second among
Big 12 rushers to Vernand Morency of Okla
homa State and has compiled 369 yards on
44 attempts through two games (Morency
has played three). Young is ninth among Big
12 passers, but recently engineered an im
pressive defeat of a scrappy Arkansas team
in Fayetteville, 22-20. The Owls are coming
into Austin 2-0 after beating intra-city rival
Houston, 10-7, and Hawaii, 41-29.
“We got rested and watched a lot of col
lege football last week,” Brown said. “The
Texas-Rice game is an old Southwest Con
ference rivalry.”
The Longhorns are undoubtedly looking
ahead three weeks to the Red River Shoot
out with the Sooners, but will have to focus
Saturday against a Rice team that will come
to fight. Kickoff comes live from Austin at 6
p.m. on Fox Sports Net.
Baylor (1-1)
vs North Texas (0-3)
In Saturday’s only other Big 12 action, the
Baylor Bears will host the North Texas Mean
Green in the pillow fight of the week. Bay
lor narrowly escaped a horrible Texas State
squad last weekend, edging out the Bobcats,
24-17, in Waco. The Bears were flattened by
Alabama-Birmingham in week one, 56-14.
UNT has started the season 0-3 and is with
out the services of senior running back and the
NCAA’s leading rusher in 2003, Patrick Cobbs,
who sprained a knee two weeks ago against Flor
ida Atlantic. North Texas was embarrassed in
week one by Texas, 65-0, suffered a disappoint
ing home loss to Florida Atlantic, 20-13, and was
blown out by Colorado last week, 52-21. Both
teams are looking to ignite their seasons against
an opponent they both believe they pan handle.
UNT defeated the Bears 52-14 in 2003,
and would like to repeat against this year’s
weaker squad. It’s Parents’ Weekend in
Waco on Saturday, but don’t expect Floyd
Casey Stadium to be anywhere near capacity
for this one. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

Angers relievers drop suspension appeals

S300 no
[rlington (AP)- Rangers relievers Frank
pcisco, Doug Brocail and Carlos Alman-
dropped their appeals Wednesday of sus-
pions that stemmed from the altercation
fans near the Texas bullpen in Oakland
week.
iach suspension was reduced by one

irgame against the Athletics.

Ike the nose of a woman whose husband had
fn heckling throughout the Sept. 13 game,
incisco started serving his 16-game suspen-
jn Saturday, pending an appeal.
Francisco’s suspension was reduced to 15
games, which still will carry through the final
game of the regular season.
Almanzar began serving his four-game
suspension Wednesday night, and will be eli
gible to return Sunday, the day Brocail will
begin his six-game suspension.
Almanzar and Brocail both pitched
Tuesday night. Almanzar left the game
with two outs in the ninth inning with
tightness in his forearm and his availabil
ity to pitch the next couple of days was in
question anyway.
Each of the pitchers would be eligible for the
postseason if the Rangers make the playoffs.
