Texas Tech's mascot injured; horse expected to recover LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech's mascot horse has been placed on injured reserve for tomorrow's game. SPORTS BRIEFS AND SCORES High Red, the horse that carries Tech's mysterious "Masked Rider" during football games, suffered a cut leg last month at the Fisher County Fair in Roby, Texas. The mishap forced Tech to recruit a replacement mount. "High Red is doing fine. However, like any athlete, he needs time to heal," said Tech representative Michael Sommermeyer. The horse is expected to make a full recovery. Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read with one leg behind your head. High Red won't appear at this week's home opener against Southwestern Louisiana or next week's game against North Texas, officials said. Tech's previous horse, Double T, died during a 1994 home game against New Mexico. After its rider fell, the horse darted up a ramp and slammed into a concrete wall. Tech suspended the rider's tradition of galloping up and down the sideline until last season. UCLA keeps hopes high despite 0-2 season start Traveling to 11th-ranked Texas (1-0), the Bruins will try to avoid making the wrong kind of history tomorrow by falling to 0-3. That hasn't happened since 1971, when Pepper Rodgers was coach and the Bruins started 0-4 before finishing the year 2-7-1 — the school's worst record in the last 35 years. AUSTIN, Texas — UCLA has opened the season 0-2 for only the second time in the past 26 years. "For them, it's a make or break game," said Texas nose tackle Chris Akins. "Coming out 0-3 would be a hard way to start things off. This game could turn around their whole season." That's what second-year UCLA coach Bob Toledo is hoping. Big 12 football Tomorrow's games: After going 5-6 in his first year and coming under fire for play calls in the final minutes of narrow losses to Washington State (37-34) and Tennessee (30-24). Toledo could use a victory tomorrow to help quiet critics. No. 8 Colorado at No. 14 Michigan Lewa State at Minnesota No. 20 Kansas State vs. Ohio No. 6 Nebraska vs. Central Florida Oklahoma State vs. Fresno State No. 11 Texas vs. UCUA "This team is not dead and buried," Toledo said. "We are going to fight and kick and battle. We are going to stick together as a family." Todav SPORTS CALENDAR Kansas Invitational volleyball tournament at Allen Field House: • 3 p.m. Kansas vs. Buffalo • 7 p.m. Kansas vs. Missouri-Kansas City • 4 p.m. soccer vs. Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas Texas coach John Mackovic said he will prepare his team with the notion that UCLA could just as easily be 2-0 and ranked in the Top 10. "They'd probably be No. 6 in the country this week if they convert one play in each of those first two games," Mackovic said. This is Central Florida's second year as a Division I-A team and it went 5-6 as an independent in 1996. But the Golden Knights (0-2) have quarterback Daunte Culpepper, who completed 39-of-60 passes for 495 yards and six touchdowns in two games this season. 9:05 p.m. Kansas City Royals at Anaheim Angels "Akron did a lot of things to keep us from getting a sack and (Central Florida) likes to do a drop-back kind of zone passing," Wistrom said. "We're going to have to have a good pass rush against them." 11:30 a.m. Kansas football vs. Missouri Tomorrow 10 a.m. Kansas cross country in the Rim Rock Invitational Rush end Grant Wistrom said Nebraska's defense, which returns only three starters, can't allow a repeat performance tomorrow against Central Florida. The big trip to Seattle and No. 3 Washington is just one week later. 7:30 a.m. Kansas swimming in the Open Water Race at Lone Star Lake **Kansas volleyball in the Kansas** Invitational at Allen Field House: 1. p 1m. vs. Toledo 2. 7 p.m. vs. Bullet 1 p.m. Kansas soccer vs. Baylor in Waco Texas 3:05 p.m. Kansas City Royals at Anaheim Angels Last year's 37-27 loss to Texas in the Big 12 championship game was the only time they didn't get to the quarterback last season. Sunday Noon Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Diego Chargers 3:05 p.m. Kansas City Royals at Anaheim Angels "We've got a little bit of a problem in preparing for both quarterbacks because we will play them a little differently," Toledo said. "James Brown is mobile when healthy and a running threat. The other kid (Walton) is a better passer but he's not going to hurt you running." UCLA may catch Texas without starting quarterback James Brown, who missed practice most of the week with a severely bruised left ankle suffered in the Longhorns' 48-14 victory over Rutgers. Mackovic said he will decide on game day whether to start Brown or backun Richard Walton. That's not like the Cornhuskers. Nebraska defense weak in opening game LINCOLN, Neb. — No. 6 Nebraska's young defense didn't record a sack in its season-opening win against Akron.
