rence game of the 1977 season.
Some see it as an anticlimactic
intest between two teams that
not met the expectations of
re-season prognosticators. Cer
tainly the ABC television network
did not plan to televise a game be
tween the third and fourth place
SWC teams when the game was
moved from October to December.
But SWC football has been con-
sistantly unpredictable over the past
few years. No one mentioned a na
tional championship Longhorn team
prior to the start of this season. And
few, if any, are talking of a return of
the Texas dynasty. A6cM and Hous
ton are equally unpredictable. The
Aggies let a possible national cham
pionship slip through their heavily
taped fingers in 1975, and in their
first year in the SWC, the Cougars
walked away with a share of the
1976 conference crown.
While ABC may not be overjoyed
with the importance of this game in
relation to SWC standings, they can
take consolation in the fact that the
Aggies and the Cougars will pro
duce 60 minutes of high intensity
football.
In all probability, the Aggies will
become only the eighth team in
NCAA history to sport a pair of
1,000-yard season rushers. George
Woodard and Curtis Dickey have
run in the shadow of Earl Campbell
all season, and their turn for glory
comes tomorrow. Woodard has al
ready completed his end of the bar
gain with 1,050 yards so far this sea
son. Aggie fans must now wait for
Dickey to gain 81 yards against
Houston before they can applaude

the backfield duo on a job well done
and look forward to a repeat per
formance next year. Dickey aver
ages almost 92 yards per game.
“There aren’t any better athletes
running around than George
Woodard and Curtis Dickey,”
Houston coach Bill Yeoman said.
Woodard and Dickey have com
bined to put the Aggies at the top of
the conference rushing list, ahead of
Texas, Arkansas and Houston, who
all rely heavily on one running back
to gain most of their rushing yards.
Houston depends on Alois
Blackwell to gain ground. Blackwell
is the conference’s fourth-leading
rusher, sandwiched in between
Woodard, third, and Dickey, fifth.
Blackwell has 1,009 yards with a
5.5-yard average per carry. He has
scored 11 touchdowns.
When Blackwell isn’t running the
ball for the Cougars, it is most often
Dyral Thomas who is. Thomas has
added 485 yards and two
touchdowns to the Cougars’ efforts
this year.
Houston quarterback Delrick
Brown has completed slightly better
than 50 percent of his passes this
season. He has thrown 113 times,
completing 57 passes for 873 yards,
12 touchdowns and two intercep
tions.
Defensively, the Cougars are led
by linebackers Steve Bradham and
Willis Williams with 58 and 57 tack
les, respectively. There is a sizable
margin, however, between them
and Aggie defensive leaders Carl
Grulich, with 89 tackles, and
Roderick Reed, with 75 tackles.
It is safe to predict that an over
flow crowd at Kyle Field and a tele
vision audience of millions will see a
good, hard-fought football game to
morrow. Kickoff is at 3:05 p.m.
