Everything starts up front, and that is a plus on defense. Freshmen Roderick Babers of Houston Lamar and Kendrick Turner of Dallas Kimball immediately began pushing upperclassmen Joe Walker, Ervis Hill and Ahmad Brooks at cornerback and may end up in the starting lineup. On offense, quarterback Major Applewhite will throw to favorite target Kwame Cavil and hand off to tailbacks Hodges Mitchell and Victor Ike as well as senior fullback Ricky Brown. A mostly new offensive line will be called upon to protect and open some holes. South on Interstate 35 to Austin, exit on 26th Street or Martin Luther King Drive.
Stadium is visible on the right.
Follow signs and attendants' directions for parking. Sophomore Major Applewhite is the man until freshmen Chris Simms or Adam Hall prove otherwise. His specialty will be screen passes, draws, counters and sweeps. The inside running chores will belong to redshirt freshman Victor Ike. Junior Kwame Cavil should be one of the best receivers in the Big 12, if not the country.
