TUESDAY, DEC. 2, 1975
Aggies say no
Did Akins’ injury cause loss?
By PAUL McGRATH
Battalion Sports Editor
Marty Akins was a lonely, de
jected figure as his eyes glanced to
ward the painful message upon the
huge Kyle Field scoreboard. It was
difficult to tell'whether the pain was
greater in the Texas senior’s knee or
in his heart.
Akins, whose ability to start was a
puzzle to all before the game, did
begin the contest with the reins to
the Texas attack. However, his stay
was shortlived as he exited after the
first play*
He later returned in the closing
seconds of the first quarter only to be
forced to the safety of the sidelines
once more after a collision with Texas
A&M linebacker Garth Ten Napel.
In all, Akins saw action for just ten
plays.
His absence was filled by
freshman Ted Constanzo who was
unable to generate anything re
sembling a drive, despite having the
ball twice on turnovers in A&M ter
ritory.
The Homs ran off 43 plays and
obtained six first downs, both figures
being the lowest totals against the
Aggies this year.
le obvious question is, would a
healthy Akins have made any differ
ence? The Aggies thought not.
“It wouldn t have made any differ
ence if James Street had been their
quarterback,” said comerback Pat
Thomas, an All-American in his own
right. “We’d still have won.”
“Man, if they say that was the dif
ference, they’re sick. I don’t like ’em
anyway,” said linebacker Ed Simo-
nini.
Texas A&M coach Emory Bellard
also had his views about Akins.
“Marty is a fine player and I m sure
he means a lot to his team. But I
won’t belittle our team for winning
with Akins out.”
At least one Texas player felt simi
larly. “We kept playing football,
even to the end, ” said Horn tackle
Bob Simmons. “I don’t feel like los
ing Marty had any effect on us at all.
We were prepared to play without
him.”
As for Akins, “I played as long as I
could. It wasn’t a hit (that caused him
to leave the game), nobody had to hit
it. The thing just went out on me,
popped out, both times when I had
to leave the game.”
Akins’ coach, Darrell Royal, of
fered, “We’ve got to talk about the
things that did happen rather than
what could have.”
Constanzo lamented about his
play in the contest. “I’d have given
anything to have had the experience
and knowledge Marty has, and Td
have given anything to come through
for the team like Marty would have.
“I made some mistakes, but I
played as well as I could right now.
I’ve certainly got a lot of room to
improve,” said the frosh replace
ment.

Texas never crossed the A&M
20-yard line except for Raymond
Clayburn’s 64 yard touchdown jaunt
with a Mark Stanley punt.
With Ed Simonini, Robert
Jackson, Ten Napel, Pat Thomas,
Jackie Williams and Tank Marshall,
to name just a few, destroying the
Wishbone, Texas turned to the air to
find their fortune. Instead, they sea
led their doom.

Since the All-American Thomas
was on one side, it was only natural
for Constanzo to throw at the as
sumed weak spot in comerback Wil
lie Thompson. Thompson responded
with two of the pass thefts. His sec
ond one with 56 seconds left ham
mered home the last nail in the Texas
coffin.
The Horn first year man did con
nect with ace receiver Alfred Jackson
for a 36 yard gain that set up Erxle-
ben’s field goal. That made the game
close at 17-10 with seven minutes
left.
Then the A&M offense added to
the suspense with back-to-back fum
bles deep in their own end of the
field. But, then leave it to A&M’s
all-time leading rusher to provide
the gamebreaker. Bubba Bean fol
lowed a crushing Myers block on an
inside trap and had clear sailing to
the goalline until he was said to go
out on the one-foot line. His 73 yard
dash enabled Franklin to settle the
affair, icing the game away with a
19-yard field goal.
The Texas defense was valiant in
defeat as the score could have been
much worse. They stopped the Ag
gies cold after Bean’s run while
gang-tackling Aggie backs through
out the game. Linebackers Bill
Hamilton, Lionel Johnson and Rick
Fenlaw and linemen Brad Shearer,
Tim Campbell and Earnest Lee were
the principal defenders behind the
Texas breastworks.
“I thought our defense fought as
valiantly as I have seen considering
the offense did not put any points on
the board and didn’t control the
ball,” said Royal about the game. “I
would like to see something happen
to Ohio State so that if they take care
of their business we will have
another national champion down
here.
“You can’t even if or what if to get
us into a position to win the game. If
it hadn’t been for an excellent defen
sive effort, it could have been worse.
They are for sure the most impres
sive defensive team I’ve seen in the
conference in some time,” said the
Texas mentor.
game. They just have so many
people that can go get the ball that
you can’t get all of them.”
Bellard was naturally happy with
the outcome, although he was a bit
disappointed with the kicking game.
The Aggies let Clayborn slip through
for a touchdown although several
clips were missed by the officials and
it was also Clayborn who returned a
kickoff for 41 yards. Franklin was
successful on only two of six field goal
attempts with each of his misses hav
ing the wind behind him.
A&M now prepares to meet Ar
kansas for all the marbles in Little
Rock this Saturday and again the
game will be nationally televised.
The winner faces Georgia in the Cot
ton Bowl while the loser travels to
the Liberty Bowl to meet Southern
Cal. Texas will play a tough Colorado
team in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl.
The Aggies had quarterback prob
lems of their own when Mike Jay
suffered an injury to the muscles in
his lower back. He missed the entire
second half.
David Shipman, who began the
season as the A&M signal caller, but
sprained a knee against SMU, played
backup to Jay. Shipman was not
highly effective as he had 12 yards for
six carries. He was instrumental,
however, in guiding the Aggies to
the clinching touchdown in the
fourth quarter.
As the fans filed out of the
stadium, cries of “Wait ’til next year”
rang from the Texas crowd. But for
Marty Akins, there is no next year at
Texas — all that remains are
memories.

The Texas players were also im
pressed with the Aggies. “They’ve
got a great team and they deserved to
win,” said the elder Campbell.
“What they have said about them is
true. You’ve got to learn how to lose
and how to win . . . it’s all part of it. ”
Fenlaw was of the same opinion.
“They have a really great team. The
offense had been inconsistent. Ex
cept for a couple of tricky plays, they
did what we expected and they did it
well.”
