European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 6, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday september 6,1991 the stars and stripes b Page 25media Blitz hits Klingler harder than the enem College football by Michael a. Lutz Houston apr Houston quarterback David Klingler faces opposing defences Only once a week but he deals with a Media Blitz the rest of the time which plight even be More devastating. His schedule includes conference Calls interview requests and photo opportunities. Klingler s been photographed on horseback and sitting in the cockpit of a Jet. Klingler spent part of this week catching questions rather than throwing passes in a weekly conference Call designed to meet the crush of press interview demands. He started the season in typical record form saturday with nine touchdown passes including an Mcaa record six in one Quarter in a 73-3 rout of Louisiana tech. Now the loth ranked cougars Are preparing for a National television appearance on sept. 12 against no. 3 Miami and Klingler is As practice at Fielding questions As he is threading passes through eight defensive backs. Do you get the feeling you Guys Are running up the score a Little bit a not at All. The Way our offence works when you explode for 45 Points in a Quarter that a still Only a Quarter of play. If you go through the whole season with a couple quarters of play in each game it will catch up with you. A other teams Are playing full games. We need some game experience especially with the Young offensive line and our receivers. Wide receiver Freddie Gilbert is doing Well but he a still making some Basic mistakes. A those Are the things you have to work on in games. You can to really do that in practice but in front of a crowd its a Little the quote about the Heisman you referred to it As a Doorstop a it was taken out of context. The writer asked me if i thought the Eastern Washington game last year Hurt my chances of winning the Heisman. I told him whether it did or not if i had to go throw five touchdowns he threw 11 to get the Heisman and really not try it lessens the value of the trophy. What does the trophy mean if you re not giving your Best a the cougars beat Eastern Washington 84-21. Klingler passed for 572 Yards before leaving the game with 12 41 to play. A i done to think anyone should Tell you you should go out there and Lay Down and not try to do your Best a Klingler said. A fall i did in the Eastern Washington game was go out there and play the Best i could play and the defense had a Good game. If that lost me the trophy so be it. If you Don t give your Best to win it its not Worth do you want to win the Heisman a no i want to win 11 football games. The Heisman is an award that comes out at the end of the season. Its really an individual award and i m not in football to win individual awards. A i wont win the Heisman without the other 21 Guys on offence and defense doing their jobs. If they done to do their jobs what i do does no to can the run and shoot be stopped a there Are definitely defences around to Stop i because it comes Back to personnel. If you re getting whipped on the offensive line or getting covered it can be stopped. A a it a not like waving a magic Wand and run it every time. A if you have lesser Talent than the other team it does no to matter. You should get beat. By no Means Are we Ever going to line up and say if we re clicking today we should line up and dominate the new York giants that a not going to Houston quarterback David Klingler is As Quick and agile off the Field As he is on i Mcwilliams gets nod Over Sherrill by Rick Warner the associated press when Texas meets Mississippi state on saturday it will be the first football game Between the schools since 1921.

They have a Strong secondary and a great defensive line that features All conference standouts Shane Dronett and James Patton.
