Tigers Swarm Aggies
In Second Half Blitz
By BILL HENRY
If last Saturday’s football
game lasted only 30 minutes, the
Texas Aggies would be the rage
of the Southwest Conference, but
as it was, the game lasted 30
more minutes and the Texas Ag
gies are now the scorn of the
SWC.
Very few of the mostly in
ebriated 68,538 LSU Tiger fans
rested easily during intermission
as the Aggies clearly had the
game under control. The offense
was clicking and the defense kept
the awesome arm of Bert Jones
subdued.
At halftime the score stood 14-
10 in LSU’s favor but the Aggies
could have very easily stood with
a 17-14 advantage except for a
couple of dropped passes in the
end zone.
The Aggies led in total offense,
195-160, led in first downs, 13-11
but had fumbled twice. Mark
Green had carried six times for
60 yards, Lex James threw nine
passes completing six for 86
yards and freshman replace
ment for Green, Skip Walker,
had the Tiger fans huzzing and
the Aggie fans smiling after his
12-yard touchdown ,run.
But, as everyone knows by
now, the second half did not pan
out for the Aggies. And it didn’t
pan out in a big way.
LSU scored four touchdowns
to the Aggies’ one, the score
ended 42-17 and the second half
was indeed “The Rout of the
Week.’’
A&M had a total offensive
output of seven yards the entire
second half going from the 195
total of the first half to 202 at
the end of the game. On rushing
alone, the Aggies lost 26 yards
in the second stanza. In fact, the
Aggie rushing attack had but
four more yards at the end of the
game than it did at the end of
the first quarter.
One bright spot was freshman
split end Carl Roaches. This
diminutive (155) flash, who won
the Class 4A state high school
100-yard dash championship with
a time of 9.4, ran back a 97-yard
kickoff return in less than 13 sec
onds after LSU’s fifth touch
down.
What the Aggies did in the
second half was administered
strictly by themselves. James
lost 60 yards by being sacked be
hind the line of scrimmage wait
ing to throw the football and by
going the wrong way on the
Wishbone option. Mark Green,
who played only one play in the
second half after receiving a hip-
pointer, lost ten yards on the
play when he fumbled. The Ag
gies also lost two more fumbles
and had two passes intercepted,
one of which went for a 47-yard
LSU touchdown.
Two real turning points can be
pointed out in the second half
which spelled defeat for the
Aggies.
The first came after the open
ing kickoff when LSU had driven
deep into A&M territory. On
first and goal from the six,
Grady Hoermann stopped ' LSU
running back Chris Dantin for no
gain. On second and goal, Kent
Finley nailed quarterback Bert
Jones for a seven-yard loss. It
was third and 13 for the Tigers
and if they didn’t score, a field
goal would put LSU ahead by
only seven, 17-10. But, on that
third down play, Jones went back
to pass and was swarmed by
A&M defenders, got his arm hit
but still completed the pass to
Jimmy Keigley for the touch
down.
The straw that broke the
camel’s back was two possessions
later. On the first play, fresh
man fullback Alvin Bowers
stormed up the middle of LSU’s
defense for 17 yards. The next
play the Aggies were penalized
five yards for illegal motion
when Roaches missed the signal.
It was first and 15 from the Ag
gies 38. James went back to pass
and threw to halfback Bubba
Bean. LSU’s cornerback, Norm
Hodgins, picked off the pass and
traveled untouched into the Tig
er end zone to put the score 28-
10.
“Our problems were rather ob
vious,” Coach Bellard said after
the game in the dressing room.
“At halftime we were in range
and then we made some mistakes
defensively at the start of the
second half.
“Fumbles, interceptions and
mental breakdowns really hurt
us against LSU. We played real
well offensively and defensively
— at times. We were much more
aggressive in this game and it
paid off in the first half.’’
This week’s game against
Army will be the turning point
for the Aggies.
“We’ve got to win this week,”
defensive end Max Bird said.
“We’ve got to get our confidence
back. It’s a must game for us
against Army Saturday.”
