FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1977 It’s hog By DAVID BOGGAN Battalion Staff Behold, the day cometh. — Malachi 4:1 Tomorrow the Arkansas Razor- backs return to Kyle Field to face the Texas Aggies after a two year stand in the hills. Aggie fans who were fortunate enough to make the trips to Little Rock, along with fans who huddled around television sets for the past two A&M-Arkansas games have long awaited the chance to welcome the Hogs back to College Station. Tomorrow they will get their chance. three touchdowns on 92 carries. Ben Cowins, Arkansas leading rusher, will make his presence felt tomorrow. The junior running back averages 112 yards per game. He has rushed for 901 yards and 10 touchdowns on 157 carries. “Ben is an excellent all-around player,” offensive backfield coach Don Breaux says. “He has the abil ity to make tbe tough yardage as well as go outside. He could be the best back ever to play at Arkansas. ” Cowins is no stranger to Calcagni passes, either. He has 12 receptions for 62 yards. What kind of Arkansas team will the Aggies welcome to Kyle Field? The Razorbacks, having lost only to Texas, are still in contention for at least a share of the Southwest Con ference title and they are very much in contention for a post-season bowl invitation. So they will be playing for keeps tomorrow. The Razorback who is most often on the receiving end of Calcagni passes is sophomore wide receiver Donny Bobo. He has caught 16 passes for 379 yards and four touchdowns. They have head coach Lou Holtz. Holtz came to Arkansas last De cember. Before taking the Arkansas position, he was head coach of the New York Jets. Another Arkansas scoring threat is all-America kicker Steve Little. Little has made 14 of the 22 field goals he has attempted this year. His 67-yard field goal is an NCAA record for the longest field goal that he holds along with Texas’ Russell Erxleben. Little has also completed 30 of 30 extra point attempts, and leads Arkansas in scoring with 72 points. He has guided collegiate teams to bowls before. In his four years as head coach at North Carolina State, Holtz took the Wolfpack to a bowl game each year. He also led William & Mary to a bowl game, in his three years as head coach. Little also punts for the Hogs. He is fifth in the nation with a 43.9 av erage. Arkansas quarterback Ron Cal cagni calls Holtz a “perfectionist. ” “His way is the right way,” Cal cagni says. “He has made it fun for me this year.” If fun is derived from success then Calcagni must be having a whale of a time. He is the only passer in the conference who has completed bet ter than 50 percent of his passes. He has completed 56 of his 103 throws for 838 yards and seven touchdowns. He has been intercepted six times. Arkansas is fourth in the nation in total defense, third nationally in passing defense and first nationally in scoring defense, allowing only 6.8 points per game. The Hog defense has intercepted 13 passes and recovered 11 fumbles. They have given up 223 yards per game while the Aggies have aver aged 370 yards per game (behind Arkansas’ 408-yard average). Calcagni is also an effective rusher. He is Arkansas’ second- leading rusher with 329 yards and Some say that tomorrow never comes. For the Aggies and the Razorbacks tomorrow is at hand. The winning team will increase its chances for post-season play. The losing team will have less of a chance for a bowl invitation (there will be eight bowl representatives at tthe game).
