Wood knows the importance of
the A&M game this week. The
Bears stand 1-2 in the conference
and another loss could ruin their
chances for a conference cham
pionship.
'Tve got to force myself to look at
this game like I would at any other
game. We can’t afford to let our
emotions get the best of us. If we
get too uptight we ll choke.”
Since Bickham’s injury, both
Wood and freshman Scott Smith
have been working with the offen
sive unit. Head coach Grant Teaff is
sticking with his original game plan,
whoever he has in at quarterback.
“We have made no changes in the
plans we have for the A&M game,”
Teaff said. “I have confidence in
both Wood and Smith’s ability as I
would have if Sammy was in there
for us. They’re all fine quarter
backs.”
Wood and Smith have been alter
nating at quarterback this week but
Wood feels he has the edge at the
position.
“Scott is a lot like me size wise,”
says Wood. “He’s a dedicated
athlete and a good veer offense
operator. He really has impressed
me being just a freshman.
“But I believe I can run the team
better than he can. I’ve been pass
ing better than he has and the team
works really well behind me.”
Wood foresees some problems
against the Aggies in Saturday’s
game.
T’ve been watching the A&M
films and I sure respect their de
fense. I know they’re going to line
up and really come at me. I don’t
blame them. That’s what I’d do if the
opposing quarterback had as little
game experience as I have.
“We have something working in
our favor this year that we didn’t
have last year. We know about Tony
Franklin and his abilities. It was a
shock to us when he kicked his 65-
yard field goal against us last year.
At least we can be mentally pre
pared for it this year.
The injury to Bickham in the
SMU game Saturday thrusted Wood
into the starting position, yet he did
not know about the injury when it
happened.
“I was on the sidelines watching
the game and somebody came over
and told me Sammy was hurt and I
might play.
“When I learned of the extent of
his injury I really felt sorry for him,
but I realized that it was an oppor
tunity for me to play. I would rather
beat him out of the position than
having it happen this way, but that’s
part of the game. ”
It h as been rumored that Bick
ham will end his football career
with this injury and will concentrate
solely on his baseball career. Wood
can neither support or deny the
ru mor
I don t know what he’s planning
on doing. Nobody’s talking but I
know he 11 be healthy and ready for
the baseball season. I’m expecting
him to come back out for football.
I’ll be really surprised if he doesn’t. ”

thing,” Shepard said. “But I was of
fered a lot — I mean a lot —- under
the table by some other schools.”
The Cougars were placed on one
year’s probation last week because
of visitation to Shepard and helping
him arrange an automobile loan.
The 5-10, 165-pound Odessa,
Tex., high school star declined to
elaborate as to which “other schools
did what. He was recruited b\' Hous
ton, SMU, Baylor, Nebraska, Okla
homa and Texas.
“Coach Bill Yeoman told me not to
say anything about any other
schools, but if it were up to me I
would. He feels it wouldn’t do any'
good.
"I was offered cars and money,
mostly by alumni of the schools,”
Shepard said. “But one coach who
Shepard declined to name made an
offer that was under the table.”
He said he chose Houston because
“I decided the big city was for me.”
He said entertainment, professional
sports and the Cougars “winning”
tradition appealed to him.
Shepard said he has not been
treated differently since the proba
tion was announced and Yeoman
said, “I’m going to get him into the
game against SMU Saturday if I
