THE BATTALION
WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1975

5ifIT Arrive ?
By DAVID WALKER
Staff Sports Writer
While some football fans around
the nation are trying to pick next
year’s number one football team,*
there are two Texas Aggies who are
ready to help them make up their
mind.
Jackie Williams and Pat Thomas,
the returning half of last year’s No. 2
ranked pass defense in the nation,
agree that the Aggies of 1975 will be
stronger than the 1974 edition.
“There isn’t any sense in me lying
to you, I think we ll win the national
championship. That’s straight from
what I feel inside, ” said Jackie Wil
liams, 5-11, 176 pounder from
Plano.
All-American cornerback Pat
Thomas was quick to agree with
Williams, “That’s right, it’s just a
matter of doing what we are capable
of doing. It’s not going to be easy but
we can do it.
Thomas, the first Aggie All-
American first-team selection since
Dave Elmendorf in 1970, also
added, “It’s really simple, we just
have to do what we are supposed to
do and do it to the best of our abil
ity. ”
The Aggie pass defense was No. 2
in the nation last year, but Williams
and Thomas feel the extra year of
experience helped them to become
even stronger.
“Telling the truth, we had a good
pass defense last year, but with us
having an extra year of experience
we’ve just got to be better this
year,” said Thomas.
Thomas was elected first-team
All-American by the major polls last
year and has already made one
major pre-season poll for next year.
Thomas gives Williams most of
the credit for calling the defensive
shots on the field. “Jackie is good at
picking those things up. Pie’s the
quickest one at changing plays,”
said Thomas.
While each man praised the other
they both agreed that neither of
them could do the job if it wasn’t for
the rest of the secondary and the
entire defense.
“We just have a great communi
cation among us,” Thomas said. “I
think the fact that we all know each
other so good really helps.” .
The Aggie assistant head coach
and defensive coordinator, Melvin
Robertson, is pleased to have the
first cousins playing on his side.
“Pound for pound Pat Thomas is
the best athlete I’ve ever coached,
Robertson said. (Robertson has
eight of his ex-pupils in the pro
ranks now.)
He describes Williams as.

might be hosting a new college foot
ball all-star game. Goodwill Indus

an application with the NCAA to
sponsor such a game on December

would pit seniors from the South

One year ago Jackie Williams and

have the No. 1 pass defense in the
country. They missed it by one
place. This year when they say it
there will be only a very few who
will doubt their word.
