I fPCM TO NAVE EP5I MINE OVEN THE WEEKEND r PAINT SHOP It was early in the fourth quarter, but Walker’s long afternoon in Michigan was complete. I got my bell rung by a blitzing linebacker,’’ Walker said in the dressing room after the game. “I guess coach Bellard felt that I had had enough for one afternoon.” It was a long plane ride home for the quarterback from Louisiana. He kn ew that he had experienced one of the worst afternoons of his college career, and only time would let the nightmare fade. “If I had only connected on that pitch,’ Walker said. “We had con trol of the game until that fumble.” The fumble occurred late in the second quarter. The Ags had just recovered a Michigan miscue on the Wolverine’s 36-yard line. In three plays A&M had moved the ball to the 16. The next play will haunt Walker brever. He faked to George Woodard and was sliding down the line ready to make the pitch to Cur tis Dickey.

Michigan recov ered the ball, and the game, for all practical purposes, was over. “If only I had connected on that pitch,” Walker repeated quietly to himself. “We were ready to play, but things just didn’t go our way. It is humiliating to lose like that on na tional television.” The loss will hurt not only Texas A&M, but the Soutwest Conference as well. It was a great opportunity for the Aggies to show the rest of the nation that the conference plays top-notch football. Walker realizes this and knows the quarterback faces the brunt of the blame. But this is a price a leader must face. Everyone knows that Walker could not have won the game by himself. Yet fans look for someone to place the blame upon and it is usually the quarterback. “I sure don’t want to go to classes this week,” Walker said. “This is one time that I don’t want anyone to know who I am. I hope no one is at the airport tonight.” But the airport was crowded with Aggies cheering their heroes even in defeat. Walker walked away from the plane carrying a stoic expression upon his face. Down inside he had to feel hap piness and relief. Inspite of a nightmarish afternoon he had had in Michigan, a few hundred fans were willing to show only confidence in his ability. Beat the hell outta Baylor” was all that was to be heard that early October night. It was the lift Walker needed to face the coming week. He needed no escort from his teammates now.
