Marc Black still ready, willing and able
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
A little lighter, somewhat more
experienced, and very eager to
win is a good description of Ag
gie fullback Marc Black.
At 6-3, Black is down to 203
pounds after the summer, a
weight which pleases Gene Stall
ings.
“Marc is in the best physical
condition since he came to A&M,”

the coach says.
Black has a number of rea
sons for losing the seven pounds
he dropped since last year, when
he carried 34 times for 128 yards
and an average gain of 3.8 yards.
“I’ve got a bad knee,” he ex
plained, “and any weight it does
not have to support is going to
help. I can cut better than be
fore. Besides, I needed to be in
real good shape for fall drills,
and the weight loss came easily.”
Like most of his teammates,
Black has definite ideas about
what will improve the team this
year and what is being done dif
ferently this season.
“For one thing, the offensive
line is using different techni
ques,” he said. “The concern last
year was on how a block was
made and how the lineman fired
out. This year the emphasis is
on blocking the defensive man
out of the play, without worry
ing about how it’s done.
“Another thing that will help
us is our experience and depth,”
Black continued. “A lot of teams
have a good first unit, but if
someone gets hurt, you can’t af
ford to let everything fall to
pieces.”
In regard to the simplified of
fense, Marc said that he was
happy with the change.
“The offense we’re using now
is easy to understand and easy
to run,” he said. “Last year, it
was so complicated that all our
thought went into what we were
supposed to do. Now, the empha
sis is on repitition. This way, I
can work on my quickness and
concentrate on not fumbling the
ball.”
A two-sport man, Black has
participated in track since com-
in spring training. It was really
worth it to be on the track
team.”
Marc is optimistic about the
changing of Brad Dusek to safe
ty and Todd Christopher to of
fensive guard.
“I think Brad will do a good
job at safety,” he said. “He’s
a tremendous natural athlete. I
am glad to see Todd in the of
fensive line, now. He’s very
quick and gets downfield well.”
Black is presently involved in
a hot battle for the starting posi
tion with Doug Neill, last year’s
leading ground gainer.
“The competition is good for
us,” he said. “We can’t afford to
make mistakes, and that brings
out the best in both of us.”
After going 2-9 last year and
3-7 the year before that, Marc is
one of many Aggies hungry to
win this time around.
“All I’ll say is that I’m really
looking forward to the season.”

ing to A&M. In fact, he holds
the school record in the javelin,
and he placed third in the con
ference meet last spring.
“I like to win, that’s why I
went out for t r a c k,” he ex
plained. “As I gained more ex
perience in football, I missed less
