Aggie Question: How Close Is Close?
BY GARY SHERER
In the sports of horseshoes and
beanbag tossing, coming close is
worth one point. In football, you
can come close all night, but if
it’s not on the money, don’t bother
getting out your adding machine.
The 1967 football season has
been a series of ‘coming close’
situations for the Texas Aggies
football team. Saturday night 19-
18 loss to Florida State must go
down as the closest the Maroon
and White have come to a vic
tory this year.
For three quarters, the Aggies
held doggedly to a lead but had
to share top billing with a per
sistent downpour. At the strat of
the fourth quarter, the rain stop
ped and so did the Aggie lead.
Although the 20,000 drenched
spectators were happy to see the
rain disappear, the loss of the
lead and the subsequent loss of
the game evened things out in
the emotion department. Regard
less, of the outcome, for the sec
ond time in as many Kyle Field
games this season, the Aggies
were nipped out at the wire.
Even with the weather and time

of day different, when the Aggies
grabbed their last lead at 18-13,
one still had to think aout the
Southern Methodist game. In the
Sept. 16 opener, the Aggies had
taken a 17-13 lead also in the
waning moments of the ball game.
The main difference was that
there was 8:23 remaining on the
clock, while there had been only
43 seconds left in the Mustang
game. It also took Florida State
longer to score the winning touch
down (about five minutes) and
the winning tally was on a run,
not a pass.
Though these facts differed, the
end result was the same close
but not close enough!
But, how close is close? In the
LSU game, the Aggies were out
of the game for most of the 60
minutes, but came within 61 yards
of equaling the Tigers final yard
age total. However, the Maroon
and White were topped 415-251
by the Seminoles.
Yes, the Aggies have come
close, but the fact remains the
season record stands at 0-4. The
only thing now is to look ahead
at the six conference games that
make up the rest of the season.
Coming close definitely won’t win
football games, but because the
Aggies have just missed victory,
they are on the right track.
Those half-dozen SWC games
will now determine if that track
that the Aggies are on is going
in the right direction.

The previously unstoppable
Texas Tech offense fell flat on its
face last Saturday, as did its
hopes for a undefeated season.
They say that nothing can make
a football team madder than hav
ing a thus-far perfect season
ruined by defeat at the hands of
a winless team, which is what
Mississippi State was up until
Saturday night.
Texas A&M Coach Gene Stall
ings said that the Raiders “were
playing us” and just couldn’t keep
their minds on the Bulldogs. That
inability to concentrate possibly
cost them a ball game and come
Saturday night, when they really
do play the Aggies, that thought

might make them hard to handle.
There’s no doubt, either, that
Tech has what it takes to make
it hot for the Aggie defense. Up
until last week’s reversal, the
Raiders were third in the nation
in the rushing category with a
299.5 yard average per game and
10th in total offense with a 412
yard average.
Tech quarterback John Scovell
is the big reason the Raider of
fense clicks. After Tech’s defeat
of Texas, Scovell had rolled up
total of 209 yards rushing and an
average of 6.7 yards.
If Scovell finds the going rough
on the ground he has an excellent
receiver in end Larry Gilbert who
has done a good job for the Raid
ers.
The Tech defense is no slouch
either. While the offense has un-
loaded for 74 points the defense
has held the opponents’ scoring
down to 20 points in three games.
