sive secondary who came up with
the big play.
Lester Hayes grab of a would-be
pitchout and touchdown run is but
one of the many crucial plays that
the Aggie secondary has been
exhibiting all season. Time after
time, the deep men have turned the
outcome of a game around in a span
of a few seconds.
“It’s simply a matter of being in
the right place at the right time,”
said safety Jackie Williams. “I’m
familiar with the area assigned to
me, and I know the others have the
same self-confidence that I do. If
everyone plays their position as as
signed, the big play is bound to
happen every now and then.
“The big plays are often plays
which go unnoticed,’’ said corner-
back William Thompson. “A big
play doesn’t necessarily have to re
sult in a complete turnaround.
Every play is a big play if you’re
doing your job.”
Thompson, a 5-9, 180 pound cor-
nerback from El Paso is in his initial
year at the starting position. He has
one pass interception to his credit.
The theft came in the Ags’ narrow
win over Kansas State. “That inter
ception was really something,” said
Williams. “Willie went up real high
and caught the ball one handed. I
thought it was a big play because the
game was so close. When he came
down with the ball in his hands, I
started laughing. It made me feel
real good inside.’
“I remember Lester saving me a
couple of times in that game, re
plied Thompson. “I had lost my man
on at least two long passes and Les
ter stepped in and broke them up.
We all seem to work real well to
gether out there.”
Lester Hayes is a junior, 6-2 and
205 with spectacular speed and ex
cellent quickness. He won the state
220 dash his senior year at Wheatly
High School in Houston. The 9.4
sprinter was converted from
linebacker to safety last spring. He
has adapted well, being voted SWC
Player of the Week for the second
time in five weeks. He has inter
cepted four passes, returning them
for 86 yards and one touchdown.
The key snag came in last week’s
contest against Baylor.
“I had my eyes on both the quar
terback and the pitch man, said
Hayes. “There’s no doubt he tried
to pitch it. I was then about three
yards from him when I saw the ball
in mid-air. I get those pitches in
practice almost every day. But man,
it’s a lot more fun in a game.

At the right safety position stands
the 5-10, 185 pound figure of Jackie
Williams. The all-state standout
from Plano has maintained this
familiar position the past three sea
sons. This year he has intercepted
three passes and returned them for
Jackie Williams
17 yards. Among his best efforts was
the disputed break-up of a fourth
down pass that halted Ole Miss from
scoring on the last play of the season
opener. Players from Ole Miss ar
gued that Williams interfered with
the receiver. Williams insisted that
he was going for the ball.
Another important play was his
interception on the A&M one yard
line against Texas Tech. On the fol
lowing series, Bubba Bean ran 94
yards from scrimmage for a
touchdown, capping the victory for
the Maroon and White who held
only a one point lead at the time.
“During the LSU game,” said
Thompson, “Jackie made an impor
tant tackle at the end of the game
which saved a touchdown. They
were still fightin up to then and that
play broke their spirit.
Pat Thomas made three first team
all-American teams and seven all-
SWC teams as a junior last year. But
this year, the 5-10, 180 pound
cousin of Williams has been injured
and has not been atfvdl strength. He
just recently returned to his role as
starter and is now beginning to de
monstrate the qualities which
earned him all-American honors.
“Don’t worry about Pat,” replied
Williams, “he’ll be hack on top
again. He’ll show everyone that he
is running the show. Thomas was
responsible for an interception
against Baylor last week. “He liter
ally stole the hall from the receive-
r, Williams said. “That is charac
teristic of Pat. His concentration is
so intense. He thinks of more than
just tackling a ball carrier. His ac
tions are triggered by the situation
of the play.”
Although the secondary has been
performing quite well, there has
been much criticism aimed toward
them. Observers are claiming that
the defenders are becoming vulner
able to the pass. “The initial goal of
the defense is to shut down the
run,” said Williams. “This forces the
opposing team to pass. ”
“They are throwing 20 or more
passes a game at us, added Thomp
son. “Our front four and linebackers
are stopping them at the line, leav
ing them no alternative but to put
the ball in the air.
Tony Blankenship, a junior from
New Orleans, filled in for Thomas
and played admirably in the LSU
Willie Thompson
game. Others that have contributed
to the Aggie cause are Mike Wil
liams and Reggie Williams. Mike
Williams is a sophomore from Hous
ton who lettered in basketball for
A&M last year. Reggie Williams is
an all-State selection from Seguin.
Overall, the secondary has
adequately done their job. The big
play has been an important factor.
Hopefully, the doubters will begin
to greater appreciate their perfor
mance in the future.

that Tony Dorsett has a good chance
eventually to replace Archie Griffin
as college football s all-time rushing
leader.
Joe Avezzano, Pitt s offensive line
coach, was doodling on a place mat
at a press luncheon this week. He
used a ballpoint pen to make a

game and Griffin’s averaging 13,”
Avezzano said after dividing each
runner’s career yardage by the
number games played — excluding
bowls.
“So if Griffin averages 130 for four
more games, he finishes up with
5,250, and if Tony averages 122 for
the rest of this season and all of next
year, he finishes with 5,271.
“It’s just something to play
around with that we talk about as an
offensive line, Ayezanno said.
Griffin, a senior at Ohio State,
became college football’s all-time
rusher last Saturday when he
reached 4,730 yards. He surpassed
the old record of 4,715 set by Ed
Marinaro in three seasons at Cor
nell.
Dorsett is a junior. He rushed for
122 yards last Saturday in a loss to
Navy, raising his total to 3,441
yards, which puts him eighth on the
all-time list.
He has 851 yards this season,
placing him well within reach of his
third straight 1,000-yard season.
Next season he could become the
first college player to rush for 1,000
yards in four seasons.
“For an offensive lineman,
there’s not a whole lot you re
member when your career is over
except some of the people you
played with, said Avezzano, a start
ing guard for three seasons at
Florida State in the mid-1960 s.
