Virginia Tech’s Roscoe Coles
rushed for 117 yards against the Ag
gies Saturday — the first time any
one has gained over 100 yards against
the Ags since Earl Campbell did it in
1974. But when the gun sounded,
Roscoe and the Gobblers headed for
the showers with a 27-6 season
opening loss.
Summing up the efforts of both
Virginia Tech and the Aggies, after
the game Roseoe shook his head and
said, "the scoreboard don’t show
how the game was played.’
I probably wouldn’t have
bothered to jot down his evaluation
except that I’d heard it before, not
long ago and in almost the same
words. Kansas’ Mike Beal, who led
the Jayhawks defense with 13 tackles
in their 28-14 loss to the Aggies two
weeks ago, said afterwards that the
score was not indicative of the play
on the field.
It is to be expected that the losing
team will blame its loss on fumbled
handoffs, intercepted passes and bad
timing. And those explanations have
flowed abundantly in the locker
rooms of eurretly unranked Virginia
Tech and Kansas over the last two
weeks.
But consistently the talk among
those out on the field has turned to
some surprise that the Aggies aren’t
the team they had expected.
The Aggies, the players have said,
lack the brute strength and power of
last year — the punch represented
by such players as Edgar Fields,
Willie Thompson and Jimmy Dean.
“Last year, if they fell on you
they’d hurt you,’’ Coles said Satur
day. “They didn’t seem tough to me
today. They’re not as physical as they
were last year.”
"Last year they beat us physically,
mentally, any way you could beat us,
they beat us. But they know they
were in a football game today.”
The re-evaluation of the power in
this year’s squad began after the
Jayhawks’ defeat.
"I was ready for a tough game after
playing them last season,” said Beal.
“Tli ey were good enough to win but
they weren't as tough as I thought.”
Most of those having made contact
with the Aggies on the playing sur
face seemed to agree that this year’s
team is nof as physical as in season s
past.
No one goes so far, though, as to
say the seventh-ranked Aggies aren t
to be reckoned with. But the loss of
many big lettermen from last season
apparently has reshaped the Aggies
style of play, particularly on defense.
Quickness and execution can take
the place of brute strength. Last
year’s team was blessed with both;
but with this year’s defensive talent,
a less physical squad could still de
velop into a notable force of its own.
A sluggish season’;
however, has defeated
wondering why they ’ ’ ’ "
ter and fans hoping the
machine will make its debut iti,
bock this week.

HOUSTON — Danny Davis cried
following his Houston Cougars Cot
ton Bowl game New Years Day be
cause he thought he had played
poorly and let his teammates down.
He did not cry Monday on receiving
news he will not play again this col
lege football season.
“It hurts, but I can take 1 it, Davis
said, his left arm strapped to his body
to keep a separated shoulder from
moving. “There have been worse
things happen in my life.
Davis suffered the injury in Satur
day’s loss to Penn State and doctors
who looked at him Monday said an
operation was necessary to repair the
torn tendons.

“It won’t sink in until Saturday
when I have to listen to the Utah
game,” Davis said. “I will like the
operation even less then.
A scrapper and motivator, Davis
was credited with engineering a
miracle in 1976 by leading Houston
to a Southwest Conference co
championship in the first year the
team was eligible for the- title-.
“(This season) I looked forward to
the competition more than any
thing,” Davis said. “I wanted to see if
we could actually do it again.
Because Davis red-shirted his
second year at Houston, he will be
eligible to play one more season if his
shoulder mends. His background
indicates he will rehabilitate and
lead the- Cougars again.
Davis was forced to grow up early.
The stepson of a Dallas minister, he
was was told one morning in 1971
that his older stepbrother, Sammy
Davis Jr., had died of an overdose of
drugs.
“That was the worst thing that
ever happened to me. Davis said.
