Buckeye offense stuns Ags
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
The Ohio State University
Buckeyes powered their way
through the Texas Aggies with
a devastating offense, but showed
a weakness on the defensive side
despite their 56-13 win at Ohio
Stadium in Columbus Saturday
before a capacity throng of 85,-
657.
The Buckeye offense, truly a
great unit, overpowered the Ag
gies in every respect, scoring the
first three times they got the
ball. With Rex Kern, the man
under, OSU’s offense was like a
traveling magic show. You didn’t
know what was going to happen
next.
Kern, an outstanding faker,
engineered the Buckeyes in the
first half and then turned the
duties over to Ron Maciejowski,
who has been the understudy to

Kern since the two were sopho
mores at the Big Ten school.
Kern’s deceptiveness seemed to
put even the fans in a stir won
dering where the ball was.
“Ohio State’s attack was more
deceptive. Their fakes and
handoffs were difficult to follow,”
A&M middle linebacker Mike
Lord commented after the frus
trating contest.
Kern was the Buckeyes’ third
leading rusher, gaining 71 yards
on seven carries as he used his
rollout style of play to the ut
most effectiveness. Left half
back Leophus Hayden led the
Buckeye runners with 91 yards
on 14 carries.
The Buckeyes chewed up 415
yards rushing and 98 more pass
ing in the contest.
The Buckeyes’ signal caller was
not dropped for a loss once while
Lex James was dropped for a
minus 51 yards by the Buckeye
rush.
The Ohio State offense was
devastating. It put the icing on
early and held off an Aggie
comeback just before the half to
lead 28-7.
The second half belonged to
the Buckeyes also, thanks more
than anything else to Aggie mis
takes.
Only a week ago, A&M recov
ered three LSU fumbles and in
tercepted three Tiger passes to
take a 20-18 victory, but Satur
day the Aggies lost four fumbles
and had one pass picked off.
The Buckeyes took the open
ing kickoff and moved 74 yards
for the touchdown and the Ag
gies took over.
For a time it looked like the
Aggies might do the same after
picking up two consecutive first
downs, but they fumbled on their
37 and it took the Buckeyes only
four plays to mark up their sec
ond touchdown.
A&M mistakes were at a min
imum for the rest of the half,
and with James’ passing leading
the way the Ags got on the
scoreboard early in the second
period and came within 14 yards
of narrowing the gap to a touch
down before they were stopped.
Ohio State taking advantage
of the Aggie mistakes, moved
quickly in for four scores in the
second half.
After moving the second half
kickoff 74 yards OSU scored
three more times in the third
period and early fourth period,
while the Aggies ran no more
than two plays on four consecu
tive possessions with the football.
James, who was voted two
awards by United Press Inter
national for his performance
against LSU sparkled again from
the pitcher’s mound as he com
pleted 18 of 30 for 271 yards and
was on target enough to hit at
least six more of those passes.
Tight end Homer May became
the first Aggie to score more
than one touchdown when he
snagged two TD passes from
James for both A&M scores.
For the second week in a row
James spread his passes among
numerous receivers in making
the passing game a bright spot.
Hugh McElroy snagged four
for 71 yards in the contest and
also picked up 16 yards on an
end around to lead the receivers.
McElroy has now caught 13
passes for 318 yards and run the
end around twice for 41 yards in
three games this season.
Joey Herr caught three passes
for 52 yards, and Marc Black
caught four for 38 yards as he
worked as a safety valve receiver
when the Aggies got in a tight
spot.
Steve Burks, Brad Dusek,
Tommy Goodwin, Mitch Robert
son and Johnny Gardner grabbed
one pass each in the contest.
The Buckeye defense was more
than penetratable as the Aggies
passed for 271 yards and ran for
50 more as they picked up 19
first downs.
That amount of ground yard
age is misleading, as A&M had a
minus 51 yards charged to James
when he was dropped while at
tempting to pass.
Other than that A&M had 28
rushing attempts for better than
100 yards, compared to only 29
yards before losses they man
aged against LSU.
Burks led A&M’s rushers with
28 yards on seven carries and
Dusek had 21 yards on seven
tries. McElroy got his 16 on the
end around and Doug Neill added
nine on three carries. Black had
seven yards on four carries.
The Aggies came out of the
contest in fairly good physical
shape, with only two injuries of
any degree.
Split receiver Tommy Goodwin
suffered a hip pointer and Coach
Gene Stallings said Monday his
status for the Michigan game
was in the air.
Defensive end Todd Christo
pher had a dislocated finger but
it’s okay now except for a little
soreness.
The Aggies continued to do
only a little punting. Jimmy
Sheffield got in two kicks for
41 and 52 yards for a 46.5 aver
age.
The Buckeyes scored eight
times, the Aggies twice, yet Shef
field only punted twice. The
Aggies gave the ball up on four
fumbles and an interception as the
Buckeyes proved their point of
being ranked number one.
