THE BATTALION
The Best Is Best’s Biggest Goal In 1972
Texas A&M thinks it might
have the best defensive tackle in
America. Make that Best, with a
capital B.
Forgiving the play on words,
Aggie defender Boice Best, a 6-1,
233-pound demon on defense,
plays as well as his name sug
gests. The senior anchorman in
the A&M front four is a legiti
mate All-America candidate.
After playing in the shadow
of his brother Bruce through high
school and as a freshman at A&M,
Boice has emerged to prove him
self worthy of consideration for
post-season honors. He was named
to the All-Southwest Conference
team as a junior on the strength
of a performance which showed
95 tackles, 19 tackles for 64 yards
in losses and two fumble recov
eries. Against LSU last Saturday,
he led all tacklers with 12 solo
tackles and three assists.
“I know what I have to do for
us to win,” he said. ‘‘I’ve got to
beat my man on offense and get
to the ball carier. When the team
passes, I’ve got to get to the
passer. Those are things I have
to do to satisfy myself.”
That is the goal for every de
fensive lineman but for Best,
these are not just idle dreams.
He lives this role in every prac
tice and in every game and his
coaches feel this will pay off for
the big senior in times forth
coming.
A&M Coach Emory Bellard
calls Best “a quality player. He’s
the equal of any in our league and
maybe any league.” Best’s mobil
ity is such that the pros are look
ing at him as a linebacker.
At Smiley High School in Hous
ton, Boice teamed with his broth
er to lead his team to the state
playoffs. Bruce, an All-America
linebacker, drew most of the ac
claim, while Boice, usually at the
bottom of the pile, earned only
all-state honors. But a knee op
eration ended Bruce’s football
early in the 1971 season, and
Boice was left to carry on.
Best is one of the Aggie co
captains. He is married and the
father of a daughter. His wife
Ruth is expecting another little
Best in October.
Best has been disappointed in
the Aggie season thus far, but he
thinks the team will get straight
ened out this week against Army
in A&M’s home opener.
