Pat McDermott gets rid of the snakes at Aggieland
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
St. Patrick drove the snakes
out of Ireland, and now he’s at
work in Kyle Field. Texas A&M’s
Pat McDermott brought the
snakebit Aggies back into the win
column Saturday.
The 5-9, 163-pounder with the
impish grin kicked a school rec
ord 53-yard field goal in the
fourth quarter for a dramatic 10-
9 Texas A&M victory over Bay
lor Saturday breaking an 11-game
Southwest Conference losing
streak for the Aggies.
McDermott, who looks as Irish
as his name with rust-colored hair
and freckles, didn’t even come
out for the team until two games
deep into his freshman year. He
asked freshman coach Jim Keller
for a trial, and made his first
appearance as a kickoff man
against the Rice Owlets.
It didn’t take McDermott long
to make his presence felt, how
ever. In his first varsity game
he tied a school record with two
field goals against Wichita State
and matched that with two more
against LSU in A&M’s stunning
20-18 upset in 1970. He finished
his sophomore season as the
team’s leading scorer with 34
points.
Until last Saturday, though,
McDermott’s junior year had been
a nightmare. On his first field
goal attempt of the season, the
snap from center sailed over Mc
Dermott’s head. He retrieved the
ball and threw a pass which was
intercepted. His next attempt
was good from 34 yards, but a
penalty called it back, and his
next try was blocked. His next
try resulted in another wild snap
which McDermott recovered for
a 23-yard loss.
McDermott kicks soccer-style
with only a sock on his business
foot, but he never played soccer.
McDermott was playing for Bish
op Dunne High School in Dallas
while his brother was attending

Michigan State. Brother Joe was
exposed to soccer at East Lan
sing and taught Pat how to kick.
The younger McDermott polished
his style by kicking over tele
phone wires in his driveway. A
wax drink carton was his tee.
McDermott came to A&M to
study journalism, and eventually
found his way to the football
field. Not even his coach knew
his name when he made his first
game appearance, but that won’t
be a problem anymore.
