tbe Wildcats for A&M and
ieeond of the young 1976 sea-
beAgs defeated Virginia Tech
week’s opener, 19-0.
|ierooters got a scare early, as
lejumped to a 7-0 lead follow-
nA&M fumble which gave
possession for the second time
in the first quarter. Moments

ivethe ‘Cats the ball deep in
and White territory,
till Sinovic, however, who
I shots of 48 and 58 yards in
isopening win over Brigham
! University, miss hit the
land it flew off to the left.
J isas State quarterback Bill
ion called on himself, and
over from the one yard line
i Cats initial tally.
6 Aggie offense entered and as
approached the line, the stal-
outline of purple, silver, and
linemen confronted them,
ran several plays to no avail,
the K-State defe were
ng their eagerness to upset the
icrten ranked Cadets,
on one play, Shipman took
iap from center, faded back a
eet, and calmly eased a strike
btendGary Haack. The or
San Antonio Lee glanced back
and made a desperate dive, clutch
ing the ball with his fingertips.
That catch was enjoyable,” said
Haack. “We needed something to
get our morale picked up. And that
catch sure picked us up.”
But as the offense appeared to
threaten, Curtis Dickey fumbled a
pitchout and the ‘Cats momentarily
halted the offensive effort.
Ag linebacker Jesse Hunnicutt
jumped on a K-State loose ball and
the spark was initiated.
David Walker entered the game,
and in the same fashion that earned
him Freshman of the Year honors in
1973 guided the Ags down the
length of the football to paydirt. He
hit split end Mike Floyd on a post
pattern for 35 yards. George
Woodard, just ripening at the age of
21, got the next five of six calls and
evened the contest on a one yard
run.
Another pair of fumbles resulted
in a pair of three pointers by Tony
Franklin. One occured with one
second showing on the clock when a
Wildcat back got careless and
coughed up the ball on the Aggie 52
yard line. The kick cleared the
crossbar by 15 yards.
The offense was clicking so that
even high shcool running back
Craig Glendenning, currently em
ployed as left guard in the heart of
the interior line, put points on the
scoreboard. Woodard was hobbling
across the line when the ball was
jarred loose in the Wildcat end
zone. Glendenning, cleared the way
for Woodard and ended up covering
the ball for his first collegiate
touchdown.
“George just let me have it,”
chuckled Glendenning. “But I’m
not gonna give it back to him.”
Though they started out slow, the
offensive proved to be the starting
block of the forward punch.
“I think we just had to get the feel
of things,” said center Mark
Dennard. “It’s the mark of a good
team to stay in there and fight like
we die. Kansas State was hard
nosed, and he added, “they are a
good physical football team.”
“We had to change our blocking
scheme,” said Haack. They were
keying on our guards, and when we
made the transition, it opened ev
erything to the outside.”
Woodard was the leading ground
gainer, tacking up 177 yards on 29
carries and two touchdowns. It was
the second consecutive week the
back from Van Fleck had hit that
mark. Woodard bulldozed his way
through the Kansas State line, one
time carrying five tacklers on his
back for a nine yard gain. Walker
looked superb in executing the tri
ple option. At times he reminded
Aggie fans of his scampering antics
of’73.
Franklin kicked consistently all
day, a contrast to last week’s per
formance against Virginia Tech.
Freshman Curtis Dickey chalked
up his first score as a college run
ning back, going around right end
for a four yards. Even half back
David Brothers showed the future
of the Aggie backfield as he shined
on numerous occasions.
This week, the Ags travel to
Houston to take on the University of
Houston at Bice Sladium. The
Cougars will be coming off a devas
tating 49-14 loss to Florida.

By PAUL McGRATH
For the third consecutive season.
Coach Emory Bellard has gotten his
Texas A&M Aggies off to a 2-0 start.
The Aggies 34-14 win over the
Kansas State Wildcats was almost a
duplicate of their opening day
victory against Virginia Tech. Texas
A&M again combined the efforts of
a stingy defense with the bull-like
rushes of fullback George Woodard
to overpower their visitors from the
Big Eight Conference.
Kansas State Head Coach Ellis
Rainsberger said he was impressed
with the Aggies’ performance. “I
thi nk they ’re one of the top teams i n
the nation,” he said. “They’re a bet
ter football team than they were
when they played us last year.”
Texas A&M defeated the Wildcats
10-0 in Manhattn, Kan. last season
in a tough defensive struggle.
Rainsberger said the added diver
sity of the Texas A&M offense is one
of the bigger pluses in the Aggies’
favor. Bellard’s offensive group to
taled 404 yards against a supposedly
firm Kansas State defense. Of that
total, 131 came on six pass comple
tions and 273 came off A&M’s
Wishbone running attack.
Once again it was Woodard who
keyed the A&M offense, gaining
177 yards in 29 carries. It was the
most carries in Woodard’s short
career at A&M, with two of his
rushes good for one yard
touchdowns.
“The big thing in their offense is
their fullback. He’s just dominat
ing,” Rainsberger said. Several
State defenses were designed to key
on the fullback and Woodard “still
ran well against those, the Wildcat
coach said.
Wildcat linebacker Carl Pen
nington, who was repeatedly in the
Aggie backfield, called Woodard a
“good” fullback.
“He’s hard to bring down,” Pen
nington said. “He’s one of the main
things that makes their offense go.”
Rainsberger agreed, saying his
defense just could not stop the
Aggie fullback. That fact, along
with five turnovers, sounded
the Wildcat’s death song, said
Rainsberger.
“They outhit us. They’re just a
good football team,” he said.
Kansas State quarterback Bill
Swanson said l it was a lot of little
things” that brought about the
Wildcat’s demise.
“I made some mistakes on some
reads in the beginning and we
seemed to lack concentration on
holding onto the ball, he said.
Swanson scored' lToth^*K : 8 : U
touchdowns on a pair of one yard
sneaks.
Rainsberger cited the turnovers
for putting too much pressure on his
defense and allowing A&M to come
back and control the game after fal
ling behind 7-0 in the first quarter.
“Our defense got in trouble in the
second quarter and just couldn’t get
out, he said.
Last year’s win over over KSU
was marked by comments after the
game by Wildcat players that A&M
could not compete in the Big Eight.
Concerning those statements,
Swanson said “A&M could play
anybody if you ask me. The Big
■ E*gb*>s-Jtough-l>ut A&M provecLthey
could play against anybody.”
