Amid the excitement of bowl rep- sentatives, Uncle Woody the pig id questions about time outs, ere were 60 minutes of good old- shioned, suspense-filled football, -■deson a hen the winner and the loser of a sweeny M game decided on the last ondllioji ay, I call that a good game. There are those who would have believe that this game was unim- ()n g FO«n irtant because, reguardless of the ntries.lb itcome, both teams can still qual- ch. dor part of the Southwest Confer- ewedani ice title. Nonsense! This game was utmost importance to the Aggies, ley proved that they deserve their un in IS] itional rating. They showed the icr head otivation that had been absent A&M a am most of the games this season, ■arian. % k all knew that the Aggies have teacher lent. They proved last Saturday latthey know how to use it. lical scieiK The Aggie defense allowed only a genet ! yards rushing in the second half exas Aid the game. That was less than half what they allowed in the first half, ntil the big Arkansas pass play late the fourth quarter, the Aggies al- wed only 29 yards passing in the icond half. Until that play, coach lelvin Robertson’s defense shut 1 W the Razorbacks. 7 ors Attard Jy Award :ity an s was lerli n aai 4 a dy Fonnl, <roll) Buffet "riday ) P.M, blk I could dwell forever on “ifs” about the last two minutes of the game. The fact is that Ron Calcagni completed a 58-yard touchdown pass to Robert Farrell that broke the 20-20 tie and 101 seconds later gave Arkansas the victory. The Aggie offense scored more points on the Hog defense than any team this season, even top-rated Texas. Prior to the game the Razor- backs had been rated first in the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 6.8 points per game. At no time in the game did the Aggie offense show more skill and composure than in the last 1:41 of the game. They did not yield to pressure and in just five plays, quar terback David Walker led the Ag gies from their 20-yardline to the 14-yardline of Arkansas. Then, on the last play of the game, Arkansas’ Patrick Martin intercepted the Ag gies’ hopes of victory in a cross-field pass from Walker intended for David Brothers in the end zone. The Aggies played their best game of the season Saturday. If they continue to improve and defeat TCU, Texas and Houston, they can represent the Southwest Confer ence in the 1978 Cotton Bowl.
