surt- we hav< anybody on the scout
team who can simulate Ohio State's
first team. We didn't have anybody
around with that kind of speed."
Chances are good that Rice will
improve as the season progresses.
Playing a team as talented as the
Buckeyes, who entered the game
ranked 10th in the nation despite
their significant lineup changes,
does not provide the greatest ba-
rometer of the quality of the team —
much the same way that last season's
opener, in whic h the Owls crushed a_
pathetic University of Nevada at Lis
Vegas squad, was not the augur of
Rice's trip to the college football
promised land that it appeared lo be
at the time.
Tin not sure the score,
the loss, is indicative of
our football team or
what we can do the rest
of the season.'
— Ken. Hatfield
Football head coach
Tlie should have at least
enough talent to compete against
the majority of their future oppo-
nents.
Besides Kansas State and
Brigham Young, none of them ap-
proach Ohio State's level of excel-
lence.
"It's hard when you lose your
first game, but we are not that bad,"
said Rice quarterback Chad Nelson,
who provided the lone bright spot
against the Buckeyes when he hit
Rodd Newhouse with a 62-yard pass
to set up a five-yard Michael Perry
touchdown run in the second quar-
ter.
"We're a much better team than
we showed, it tells us we need to
practice harder." Nelson said.
From his experience at Clemson
Unjversity, Hatfield can attest that a
team can recover from a rout to have
a successful season.
"We lost to Florida State one year
59-0 when they were No.l in the
nation, and we turned around and
went 9-3 and won a bowl," Hatfield
said.
At Tulane, the Owls will face a"
"opponent who has upset them at
Rice Stadium in each of the past-tyvp
seasons — and won only one other
game in both those years.
In 1994, the Owls held the Green

She came bounding into
one of our on-camp us
information sessions about
a year ago. an engineering
unclergrad carrying a bag
of dismantled hard drives
Look "she said, and pointed out a subtle
ii iff fun it H y in the ser*Q,rnechariism. which to that day,
only oiir top engineers had recognized.
Then she gave us a half hour lecture on how to fix,it,
and wo MiHior about state of-the-art labs; she iau iched
into a monologue about data storage and what we should be
doing about it, so we told her what we are doing about it.
Sho s.iid there's a lot of work to
be done, and we invited her to join us,
and do it And sun e then, she's taken
c
storage technology to the Nth degree.
Helped revolutionize how portabfe hard drives work
Who!i brings us back to campus
This semester we're scouting the country again,
looking for more spirited people and ideas
We're pushing tins company to the Nth degree.
And you oan take us there
Wave without a touchdown, but lost
15-13 on a last-play Bart Baldwin
field goal. last year, Rice slumbered
throughout most of the contest, but
rallied late only to fall 17-15.
"We've had two great games with
them the last few years," Hatfield
said. "The disappointing th ing is that
we've missed six field goals in the
two games — all we needed to do
was to make one in each of the last
two games and we would have wonV"
Tulane opened its season in
strong fashion by heating the Uni-
versity of Cincinnati 34-14 on Aug.
30.
They are led by halfback Jamai-
can Dartez. who sunk the Owls last
season with 154 yards on 24 carries
and two touchdowns.
"They already have Vie game
under their belt, and they played
extremely well against Cincinnati,
who was picked to win their confer-
ence," Hatfield said. "We have to
stop a great running back and they
threw the ball well against Cincin-
nati."

The Owls hope for an aggressive
performance and team leadership
from Winship.
Among the reserves, defensive
end Mark Lodge has drawn raves
from the coaches for potential, and
the redshirt freshman will share time
with Arthur Terry in spelling Clifton.
The unenviable job of attempting
to replace Kalu for periods of time
falls at the moment to sophomore
"Julian Duncan.
True freshmen Judd Smith and
Jeff Odom will backup Thompson at
the nose.
Veteran Kussell Stre«'ter will ba*-k
up Winship, but his playing time will
be limited.
