QHjf Satly ®ar MM Sooner Crowd, 'D' Await Tar Heels Oklahoma's offensive line is a trouble spot for the Sooners, but their defense is among the nation's best. Game and time: North Carolina at No. 3 Oklahoma. Kickoff is at 7:45 p.m. EST. Site: Memorial Stadium. TV/radio: ESPN will televise the game nationally. The Tar Heel Sports Network will provide live radio cover age; its flagship station is WCHL 1360 AM. Records: Season opener for both teams. Series: Oklahoma leads 6-0. Personnel update: North Carolina - PKJeff Reed (sprained ankle) is ques tionable. Oklahoma - None reported. Hie Key Matchup: Oklahoma’s weakest area might be its offensive line - unfortunately for North Carolina, that isn’t really saying much. Three starters return on the Sooners’ line, but junior Josh Smith, who played nine games last season, is anew starter at center, and redshirt freshman Wes Sims takes over the right tackle spot It’s a small opening for the Tar Heels, but it’s one they’re going to have to exploit to keep the score respectable. All-American defensive end Julius Peppers surely will keep the pressure on junior quarterback Nate Hybl, who takes over starting duties for Heisman Trophy runner-up Josh Heupel. Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said last week he would decide whether to adjust OU’s blocking scheme to account for Peppers during practice this week. “Certainly, he’s an exceptional pass rusher and defensive player, Julius Peppers,” Stoops said, “and without question we will pay close attention to Rowing to Hold Interest Meeting Sunday The information session is open to all undergraduate women, including those without any prior experience. Staff Report The North Carolina women’s rowing program will hold an information meet ing at 7:30 p.m. Sunday for prospective members of the varsity team. All under graduate women interested in trying out for the team are invited to attend the ses sion, which will be held in 100 Hamilton Hall. “A unique thing about rowing is that you don’t need any prior experience in order to row competitively in college,” said first-year UNC assistant coach Sarah Haney. “I started rowing while I was a student here at Carolina, and the sport has become an important part of my life.” The majority of the student-athletes on UNC’s team, which is heading into its fifth season as a varsity squad, picked up the sport after arriving on campus. The team competes throughout the fall and spring, with the ACC Championships in April and the NCAA Championships in May. The returning rowers began workouts Tuesday.

But if Peppers starts to dominate -and UNC tack les Ryan Sims and Will Chapman and end Joey Evans get penetra tion - Oldahoma could have some problems offensivel UNC place-kicker Jeff Reed is questionable for Saturday's game after spraining his left ankle Tuesday. dy. “They’re not better than us up front,” Peppers said. “We’ve got four of the best ‘D’ linemen in the country.” Final analysis/prediction: Jeff Reed was upgraded from doubtful to questionable Thursday and will be avail able, maybe, for extra points, which could cost UNC a field goal or two. Reed sprained his left ankle at practice Tuesday while practicing kickoffs. But his absence could just make the score more lopsided, not cost UNC a win. North Carolina has talent, but the Sooners are way too deep defensively, and the Tar Heels might never see the red zone, let alone the end zone. Oklahoma linebacker Rocky Calmus and strong safety Roy Williams could be the best at their positions in the nation. UNC running back Willie Parker and quarterback Ronald Curry really don’t stand much of a chance with a young offensive line in front of them. And if the sold-out crowd of 72,765 gets to them, it could get ugly. “You try to simulate it as best you can,” said North Carolina coach John Bunting, who has been pumping crowd \ jM Julius Peppers has been named a pre season first-team All-America by ABC Sports Online.

'Speechless' Milbrett Picked WUSA's MVP The New York forward led the league with 16 goals and 35 points and helped the Power to the playoffs. The Associated Press BOSTON - When she played on the U.S. national team, Tiffeny Milbrett was frequently overshadowed by Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain and Briana Scurry. In the WUSA’s first season, though, Milbrett was second to none. The New York Power forward was selected the league’s MVP and Offensive Player of the Year on Thursday after scoring a league-high 16 goals and 35 points. “It leaves you speechless,” Milbrett said between practices for the teams that will play in Saturday’s champi onship game. The Women’s United Soccer Association wraps up its first season Saturday when the Bay Area Cyberßays play the Adanta Beat for the Founders Cup at Foxboro Stadium. Milbrett’s Power lost in the semifinals to the Cyberßays 3-2, but she was in town for the championship game and to receive her awards, which will be for mally presented at a banquet tonight In other individual awards announced Thursday, lan Sawyers of the Bay Area Cyberßays was voted OSen PLAZA THEATRES I ■■ Elliott Rd.

Milbrett, one of the leading scorers for the U.S. team for several years, played a major role in the Americans’ 1999 World Cup title and was the top female player of the year in 2000. But it was only when she got away from the national team that she asserted herself as a leader. “What I tried to do is lead by exam ple - being a threat for my team. I was n’t too vocal, but I think when the team needed a push, I was there,” she said. “I think the players need to leam for them selves what it’s about, what it means to be a professional, to be in this league. “Some of the players here have never ever been close to something like that I want them to be successful,” she said, “whether they’re on my team or not” Sawyers helped the Cyberßays go 11-6-4, no small thanks to Beene, who had a 0.97 goals against average and a 624-minute shutout streak during the year. She finished the season with eight shutouts, one more than Scurry.
