THE BATTALION
Dusek’s Found A Home In Aggie Wishbone
m
Texas A&M’s Brad Dusek has
found a home. He is alive and
well at fullback in the Aggie
Wishbone.
Dusek, now a senior, came to
Aggieland as an All-America
safety and quarterback from
Temple. His father. Big Ed Du
sek, played fullback and lineback
er for the Aggies in 1942-46-47
and there wasn’t any other school
for Brad when it came time to
sign.
As a freshman, Dusek spent
most of his time at safety where
he was named the Southwest Con
ference’s outstanding freshman.
He was switched to running back
as a sophomore, but a pulled ham
string crippled his season.
As a junior, it was back to
safety. He finished the year as
the team’s third leading tackier,
had three interceptions, recovered
two fumbles and was named sec
ond team All-SWC.
Then Emory Bellard brought
his Wishbone to Texas A&M, and
he had a fullback waiting for him.
“Brad would be a good fullback
in any offense,” Bellard said.
“He’s a contact football player
and is similar to Steve Worster
in ability to cut at the line of
scrimmage. He has good hands
and is an exceptional blocker.”
he loves that defensive contact.
“I like running with the foot
ball,” he said. “I ran when I was
a sophomore and it isn’t all that
hard to adjust. I’ve watched a
couple of Steve Worster films
and I’m proud to be compared to
him.”
The change to fullback this
season was not a disheartening
occurrence for Brad even though
Dusek was pictured on the
cover of Texas Football Maga
zine, but it looked like that old
jinx was going to get him again.
He strained a knee after catching
a screen pass against Nebraska
and did not play against LSU
and Army.
But he was back in the lineup
against Texas Tech in the SWC
opener and responded with 112
yards in 21 carries. He put to-
g e t h e r back-to-back 100-plus
games with 104 yards in 18 car
ries against TCU.
Dusek wears No. 44, the first
Aggie to wear that number since
John David Crow carried it to
Heisman Trophy fame in 1957.
When the Aggies play Baylor
in Waco Saturday night, you can
bet the Bears will be paying a lot
of attention to the number.
After a long struggle, it looks
like the 6-2, 212-pounder is final
ly ready to show the world.
