About The Battalion. (College Station, Tex.) 1893-current | View Entire Issue (Sept. 29, 1971)
Wednesday, September 29, 1971 stated. “Their quarterback (Al bert Johnson) led the nation in rushing 1 for quarterbacks using the option play last year. My job this week will be to make sure he never gets outside me.” His position got a little more complicated this year with the change in the A&M defensive alignment. “Last year I played in a down position all the time in our five man front,” he said. “This year we rotate with the tackles. If we rotate right, I am in the down .w.v.y. THE BATTALIOt Max Bird has a tough job: stop the Cincinnati quarterback position and if the quarterback drops back to pass I must rush. If we rotate left, I am in an up position and have to cover a pass receiver in the flat. Mostly, my job is to contain the quarterback.” After losing the last two games one wonders how the team’s at titude is holding up. “We’re still a good football team,” Bird pointed out. “It really doesn’t matter about non-confer ence games. Sure, we would like to go 11-0 but the important thing is conference play. As a matter of fact, a few of us were talking about a Bowl game a couple of days ago.” There is speculation that the defense is getting disheartened with the lack of scoring by the offense. “That is not true,” Bird said. “We’re not upset with the offense. They may have some problems scoring but both quarterbacks have been or still are injured. They’ll be ready by conference and so will the rest of the offense and so will the rest of the of fense, just wait and see.” After playing three number one teams in two years, one wonders how Nebraska compares to the Texas and Ohio State teams of 1970. “Nebraska has great talent but compared to Ohio State and Texas I think they are the weakest of the three,” Bird commented. “The defense is better than the of fense. Their big plays are the ones that beat you. I feel we could have beaten them except for the big plays they scored on us, like the long interception, the kiekofl return, the long pass and thelonj run. Without Johnny Rodgeti, Nebraska would be just anoftet good football team. He wins tlj game for them.” With Cincinnati’s great nij. ning attack looming for Saturdaj night, Max knows what it tj| take to win. “I will have to keep the qiu t , terback bottled up and whentbej pass I will have to be in then and put pressure on him,” Binl said.
