Texas A&M quarterbacks compete for backup spot
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas Redshirt freshman Vance Vance thought he had a clear path to becoming Texas A&M's backup quarterback.
Then 24-year-old freshman Mark Farris traded pro baseball for college football.
Starting quarterback Randy McCown endured injury, demotion and frustration in his three years of competing with Brandon Stewart to be the Aggies' quarterback. Now Smith and Farris will compete to be his understudy.
"The way I looked at it last year was there were no real challengers, and I could go straight to being the backup," Smith said. "Now it's been kind of like a roller coaster."
"Instead of just learning X's and
O's you are fighting for your life."
Smith, 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, is a classic drop-back passer with a strong arm. He competed in basket
ball, baseball, track and golf in high school and has demonstrated good scrambling ability for his size.
R. C. Slocum hasn't decided who will be the backup.
Still, in the
The Aggies signed Farris in 1994 as part of an elite recruiting year that included Dat Nguyen, Dan Campbell and Warrick Holdman, all drafted by the NFL after last season.
"If something happened to Randy, I feel like we could take the other two guys and go through this season and not be just dead in the water," Slocum said. "Either of those guys would be able to go out and play quarterback for us."
Farris, 6-2 and 212 pounds, also has a strong arm. He was nicknamed
"the rifleman" when he played for Angleton High. But baseball beckoned after high school, and he agreed to an $840,000 signing bonus to play in the Pittsburgh Pirates' organization.
Farris never forgot about football and, finally, too many long minor-league seasons in small towns persuaded him to come home.
So, five years later, a matured Farris came home to be with his wife and 4-year-old daughter to begin a new career.
McCown could be a good model for Smith and Farris. McCown did not back down from his challenge with Stewart. He got the starting job against Texas Tech in 1997, lost it, and got it back early last season.
Then he broke his collarbone in a 28-24 loss to Texas and watched the heart-warming return of Stewart, who led the Aggies to an overtime victory against Kansas State in the Big 12 Conference championship game.
Holtz not cocky about new team
Holtz: the former Notre Dame coach is back in the game with the South Carolina Gamecocks
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Lou Holtz earned a reputation as a pessimist while coaching at Notre Dame, no matter how the Irish were doing. But concerns about his new team, the South Carolina Gamecocks, may be warranted.
His offensive line is small and inexperienced. His defensive secondary is without leader Arturo Freeman, who ruptured his spleen last week and will miss at least four weeks.
But Holtz's worries don't stop there. He also worries about his quarterback and the running and kicking games.
The young Gamecocks lack depth and experience. Holtz openly questions their physical toughness and conditioning.
You'd think he wouldn't want to play No. 24 North Carolina State (1-0) on Saturday in the Gamecocks' season opener.
No. Holtz said, "I feel so emotional about this game, and I don't think I'll have any problem getting this team ready to go."
He's back on the sidelines after two years as an analyst for CBS.
He talks about waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat trying to figure out how to beat N.C.State.
He talks about the rapid passage of time, since he was hired in December.
