The 91 combined points were the most in the Southwest Conference since Texas defeated TCU 81-16 in 1974. Put together, both teams amassed over 1,000 yards in total of fense. Kramer, the nation’s leading passer, threw 59 times (a Rice rec ord), completing 25for 376 yards and three touchdowns. Rice Coach Homer Rice had only superlatives for his quarterback’s performance in the losing effort. “I think he’s the leading passer in the nation. He had a super game. Kramer was pressured all after noon by the pass rush of A&M’s Edgar Fields, Jimmy Dean, Tank Marshall and Eugene Sanders, but not once was he thrown for a loss. “I think that’s a tribute to our of fensive line and to Kramer’s quick ness,’’ Rice said. “Our offensive line doesn’t have a lot of talent but they really scrap.” A&M took a commanding lead in the first quarter with 24 points and Rice never got closer than 10 points the remainder of the game. “I thought we had some very poor breaks in the early going. I thought if we got ahead early we could battle them the whole way,” said Rice. “We wanted to stay within two touchdowns because we felt we could win in the fourth quarter. We can beat anybody in the fourth quar ter, ’ he said. Rice did outscore A&M in the fourth period 12-6. Kramer kept Rice in the game most of the day as he scored two touchdowns himself on one-yard runs. “I think TK (Kramer) is the best quarterback in the nation,” said Rice split end Doug Cunningham who raised his nation leading reception total to 47 with 10 catches against the Aggies. He’s just super and he’s a real smart quarterback and that really helps us (the Rice receviers) a lot.” Cunningham scored on a 15- yard pass from Kramer while the Owl quarterback’s other two scoring tosses went to end David Houser for 45 and 14 yards. Kramer said he saw where A&M had been hurt by post routes (medium range pass patterns run over the middle) in past games and used the pattern last Saturday to some success. Asked if being the nation’s top passer added any pressure, Kramer said, “I go out to try to win the game and not worrying about statistics.” Kramer praised his offensive line on the protection it gave! “the passing game couldn’lf out them. They’ve done a a all year.” Since Rice has played] Texas Tech and now A&M ] Rice was asked to compare(1(| SWC title contenders. ,JI “Texas Tech is the team J They are the soundest andll balanced team we’ve faced, I The Aggies are now 5-2^ and 2-2 in conference [ moves to 2-4 and 1-3 on I Texas A&M will travel to!
