Tennessee hopes to run past FSU
The Volunteers take their
running game to the
Fiesta Bowl, hoping to
race past the Seminoles
By Tom Sharp
The Associated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. — For top-ranked
Tennessee, the Fiesta Bowl battle
for the national championship
might come to this: Can the Vols
run the ball?
The answer to that question will
be critical Monday night, because
second-ranked Florida State de
signs its defense to stop the run
first. And the Seminoles are good
at it.
Tennessee (12-0) set out tins sea
son to lead the Southeastern Con
ference in rushing, and did so de
spite losing starting tailback Jamal
Lewis to injury in the fourth game.
The biggest reason for that suc
cess is sophomore Travis Henry,
a stocky, powerful runner who
gained 970 yards on 176 carries.
“That's what’s been so special
about this team," said senior co
captain and kicker Jeff Hall. “It
hasn’t been so much the people
who have been pegged to be suc
cessful who have gotten it done,
but the people who have risen to
the occasion and maximized their
potential.”
Henry nearly wasn’t around to
maximize anything. He arrived on
campus 18 months ago with torn
cartilage in his right knee. Then
Lewis emerged as one of the top
freshman runners in the country
last season, and Henry contemplat
ed a transfer.
But Henry stuck it out, and is
glad he did.
“It was an opportunity to step up
and show my talent," he said of
Lewis’s injury. “I prepared myself
fora chance like that.”
The Vols are in the big game
largely because of Henry’s produc
tion. The running game has carried
the brunt of the load as quarterback
Tee Martin felt his way through his
first season as a starter.
And even though Florida State
(11-1) has the nation’s second-best
rushing defense—allowing just 80
yards per game — the Vols say they
don’t have any choice in their
game plan.
"We're 12-0 doing what we do,”
said new offensive coordinator
Randy Sanders. “We won’t change
anything drastically.
Henry says he’s ready.
“I’m the type of player who runs
hard down after down,” he said.
“I’ll go in with the mindset that I’m
going to get the tough yardage.
Asked if the Vols can run against
FSU, Martin smiled.
“We haven’t been stopped run
ning this year,” he said. “I’ll leave
it at that."
Duke prolongs streak against Maryland
By David Ginsburg
The Associated Press
COLLEGE PARK, Md. — This
was supposed to be the year that
Maryland finally made a stand at
home against Duke.
The fourth-ranked Terrapins
managed to stay even with their
Atlantic Coast Conference rivals
for 20 minutes Sunday. Then No.
2 Duke pulled away to a surpris
ingly easy 82-64 victory before a
stunned sellout crowd.
The addition of stellar guard
Steve Francis to an already solid
frontcourt had the Terrapins
thinking that they could end a skid
of 11 losses in 13 home games
against Duke.
Instead, Duke reeled off 13
straight points early in the second
half to dispel any hopes Maryland
had.
“To be honest I didn't think we
were going to lose. A loss like that
is a shock to me,” said Francis.
Except for the timing, Duke’s
recipe for success was virtually
identical to the formula that worked
so well last yearat Maryland, when
the Blue Devils made their first four
3-pointers and tinned an early 14
point lead into a rout.
This time, Duke waited until the
start of the second half. Brand had
19 points and 13 rebounds for the
Blue Devils (13-1, 2-0) and
sparked the run that all but fin
ished theTerrapins (13-2, 1-1).
Maryland, meanwhile, missed
nine of its first 10 shots and com
mitted eight turnovers in the
opening eight minutes.
By that time, Duke was all but
assured its eighth straight win. Af
ter the margin reached 20 points
with 3:36 left, fans who paid up to
$500 a ticket began heading to
ward the exits.
Morris scored 16 points and
Francis had 11. The Terrapins,
whose only previous loss this sea
son came at Kentucky, fell to 7-1
at home.
