Facing tho guy who just might
become one of the great college
quarterbacks, the Texas Aggies
travel to Little Rock to moot the
U nivOrsity of Arkansas and their
junior phenomenon Joe Fergu
son. Ferguson, one of the great
est high school quarterbacks in
Louisians history, was undor-
■tudy to Bill Montgomery last
year and if he comee through as
expected the Hogs could really
fly.
Displaying the most versatile
player in the Southwest, Gary
Hammond, the SMU Mustangs
have a date with the Aggies in
Kyle Field this toll and tke Ag
gies will be out to.avenge a, 6-9
setback last year that came on a
field goal with seconds to go.
The last two meetings be
tween tke Texas Aggies and Rice
Owls were a pair of heartbreak-
an for the Aggies as they fell
victim by scores of 7-6 and 19-17.
They meet in Houston this
year with new coach Bill Peter
son exported to have the Owls
throwing the bell just as be did
at Florida State, where he tra
ditionally had one of the liveliest
passing games in college foot
ball.
As usual the season finale in
a Thanksgiving Day battle with
tho University of Texas at Aus-
sin. The match is sot for 1:90
pja. on Kyis Field. The Long
horns, suffering from the loos of
29 lettormen off the 1970 na
tional champions, have to depend
on an outstanding crop of soph
omores that could provide the
key to another super season. Top
returning veterans include quar
terback Eddie Phillips, running
back Jim Bertebon and offen
sive guard Jerry Sisemore.
A wide open battle is expected
for tke punting job, s position
which has distinguished many
Aggies including the latest gem,
Jimmy Sheffield, who was draft
ed last year by the Buffalo Bills
of the National Football Xeague.
Senior Mitch Robertson is cur
rently leading the group after
averaging bettor than 60 yards
a kick in the final scrimmage of
the spring. But Stallings says
he wouldn’t be a bit surprised to
see Herr or Dusek take over the
job or even Freshman Bill Nutt,
who's 40.7 average was better
than SWC's vanity leader.
The team's leading scorer last
year place kicker Pat McDermott
returns to defend his poet, but
sophomore Roberto Payan is
challenging him. Both are soc
cer style hooters and McDermott
.does his barefooted. Senior Mike
Bellar, who handled most of the
kickoff duty last year re tarns to
add depth at the position.
Although standing only 6-9
Johnny Gardner took over the
|split end post midway in the
1970 season and put a tight grip
on M while catching 16 serials.
Lettorman Tommy Goodwin is
the leading challenger.
Four lettormen are leading the
fight for the defensive line with
juniors Max Bird and Kent Fin
ley nt the ends and senior Van
Odom and junior James Du beak
at the tackles. Bruce and Boice
Best are also fighting for defen-
. sive line poets as they start their
junior seasons but Bruce’s avail
ability is clouded with an Injury.
Bruce missed spring training
due to surgery tor a detached
retina and is now having to re
cover from more surgical work
on his eye.that could keep him
out indefinitely.
Mike Lord, Steve Luebbehusen,
Grady Hoermann and Dennis Car-
ruth, are all lettormen at the line
backer but injuries decked them
tor either part or all ot the 1970
season. The Aggies hope to over-
Tito me that this fall. Lord missed
the season with a knee injury
and then sat out spring training
to make siire he was healed for
the coming campaign. Luebbe
husen and Hoermann are healthy
but Carruth suffered a broken
leg in the spring and his avail
ability is still unknown.
Two sophomores are reted as
good shots i» the defensive unit
as Bud Trammell from Dumas is
vying for a tackle spot that
would free Odom to handle the
middle guar<^ duties and Billy
Wiebold from Beaumont is an
outstanding - prospect at line
backer.
Elmendorf is gone from the
defensive secondary and that
leavee the Aggies secondary in
what Stallings called his team’s
most serious problem.
David Hoot, senior from Hous
ton. is the strang safety and Ed
Ebrom sad Bland Smith are let-
• termen returning for the corners.
But Stallings hasn’t got Jt free
safety. Lee | Hitt, ElmeadorTe
understudy is the top candidate,
although Stallings has hinted on
the uee of Dusek or Thomas at
1 -the position. He said that he
plans to give Dusek a full trial
at the position during the fall
workouts.
Chris Johnson, one of the Ag
gies numerous wounded returnees
has reported back in good health
as is Mike Bunger and the duo
will also be in the running for
defensive beekfleld poets.
The latest addition to the Ag
gies squad is track star Curtis
Mills, who has completed hie eli
gibility for the Aggie cinder
■quad, will get a good look at
the free safety position.
Stallings said that Mill* agreed
that his best position might be
the secondary because it might
be easier and take less time to
perfect than running pstterhd*
and catching passes required la.
football. Moot observers had felt
that wide receiver would be his
poeHion because of his speed.
Stallings also said he has
changed his philosophy of the
big play. “We’re not going to
emphasise the big play. To us
every play is important It's not
what you do on five or six plays
that wins games, it’s what you do
oa the other 76 or 80. In fact
every first and tan is a big play. M
When asked about the confer
ence race this fall Stallings said,
*1 know more about AAM than
I know about anybody else. And
I like AAM and I think we can
win. Any coach that doesn’t think
he can win isn’t worth his salt”
In leas than two weeks Stall
ings’ Aggies embark on the 1971
season with a new style; a new
philosophy and hopefully a new
future.
