There are questions in the running game and the defensive line, but don’t be surprised if the Vols wind up National Champions. I never thought I would concede this early, but all of my fellow Longhorn fans must suffer another year. Texas could quite possibly have the most talented team on the field, providing them with a solid shot at the title. Sophomore running back Cedric Benson ran for a freshman school record of 1,000 yards last season and he didn’t even play in the first six games. Couple the run- ning attack with a wide receiver corps that might be the best in the nation and the Horns are going to be scary good. The defense, which was ranked an overall No. 1 last year, should be better as the sec- ondary has improved. Questions come at the quarterback position where senior Chris Simms has fal- tered in previous big games. Why don’t the Horns win this year? Mack Brown’s squad faces a very difficult schedule. An Oct. 12 meeting with Oklahoma, followed by a visit to Nebraska and another away game at Kansas State could knock the Horns out of the race. Nevertheless, my fellow Texans there is still hope. Hook Em’. Oklahoma is one of the teams that will be traveling to Tempe, Ariz., to compete in the Fiesta Bowl for the national champion- ship. According to Head Coach Bob Stoops, the Sooners are hold- ing their fastest and best defense he has ever had. Roy Williams, last year’s best collegiate safety, and Rocky Calmus, the best line- backer, do not return this year. The country is waiting to see how Stoops’ prediction will come through. The Sooners have a joke of a schedule other than the Oct. 12 date with Texas. However, questions lie at the quarterback position where junior Jason White, who is recovering from a knee injury, has very little experience. Backup quarterback, Nate Hybl, has a slow release and does not have the coaches’ confi- dence. However, talent runs thick in Oklahoma and Stoops’ squad will make it to Tempe, but they will not win the title. 97 Your National Champs this 14 season will be Florida State. Forget last season’s 8-4 record posted by an injury-ridden team. Quarter- back Chris Rix is a year improved and the return of several talented players will have the Seminoles crowned No. 1. Rix will be pro- tected by an offensive line which returns every starter. The last time Bowden had this luxury he won the title. Running behind this experi- enced line is junior halfback Greg Jones, who is possibly the greatest ballcarrier in the nation. Granted, Florida State squeaked by Iowa State in their opener on Aug. 24 on a goal line stand, but that was before they had a 24-0 lead. I guarantee Bowden will work on improving his defense and making sure his team plays four quar- ters. Besides, how fitting would it be that the team which uses “Let’s Roll” (passenger Todd Beamer’s quote before attacking the hijack- ers of flight 93 on Sept. 11), wins the national championship?
