Tigers just had ‘one of those days
By SEAN PETTY
Battalion Staff
Did you ever have one of those
days when absolutely nothing went
right? Or w hen you should have just
stayed in bed all day and never
showed vour face?
Saturday was one of those days for
tiie Memphis State Tigers as they
amassed a total of one yard rushing
and 53 yards total offense losing to
the the Texas Aggies 58-0.
The only thing the Tigers did
right Saturday was find their way to
Kyle Field. From that point on, the
afternoon went down hill.
“They whipped us every way you
could get whipped, ” said Tiger head
coach Richard Williamson. “We
started the game in a state of shock
and stayed that way the rest of the
afternoon. ”
It was easy to see why the Tigers
went into shock after watching
Texas A&M halfback Curtis Dickey
dash 65 yards in the Aggies first of
fensive play of the game.
After the game, Williamson, hold
ing a towel to his face and looking as
though he had just been run over by
a truck, said, “Dickey ran by me so
fast on that first play I could hardly
see him.”
Things did not get any better for
the men from Memphis as they
watched Dickey and Co. run up and
down the field at will all afternoon.
It looked as though Coach
Williamson forgot to bring his offen
sive line. Tiger quarterback Lloyd
Patterson got to know Aggie defen
sive linemen Jacob Green, Eugene
Sanders, Garry Milligan, and James
Zachery a little better than he
wanted. Patterson, known for his
scrambling ability, spent the after
noon running away from or into the
Aggie linemen.
The Tiger s defensive line was
just as porous as their offensive line,
giving up 523 yards on the ground
and a total of 615 yards.
“I just don’t know what it was,”
Williamson said. “We were in the
regrouping category from the first
play on. Although, we never did re
group, obviously.
“We tried everything and nothing
worked. Our draw play and a couple
of plays up the middle were working
early but they (the Aggies) picked
those up.

“We tried to correct it at halftime
and couldn’t,” the dejected
Williamson said. “We tried every
combination of players to try and get
something going. I think we played
just about everyone who came.”
Quarterback Lloyd Patterson,
who holds 10 Memphis State pass
ing records, could manage only two
completions out of eight attempts
for a 20-yard total. Yet, Patterson
did not think that the Aggies were
the best defensive team the Tigers
have faced this year.
“No, I don’t think A&M is the
best defensive team we’ve played,”
said Patterson. “Mississippi State
was the best defensive ball club we
have played this year.”
It seems odd that he could say
that after Mississippi State allowed
the Tigers 14 points while the Ag
gies shut the Tiger air attack com
pletely down and allowed no points.
“We just need to forget about this
game, it’s all in the past and we have
to come back and get ready for
Wichita State,” Patterson said. “Our
offensive line needs a lot of work.
We just couldn’t put anything to
gether. In fact, I guess you could say
our whole team needs a lot of work.
It was definitely our toughest game
this year.”
The defensive members of the
Tiger team had more respect for the
Aggies as they watched the backs of
the Aggie’s jerseys most of the af
ternoon.
“We thought they should be
number one in the nation before the
game,” said noseguard Pete
Scatamacchia. “They did everything
we expected they would do. I just
can’t say enough good things about
them. They were extremely fast, of
course, we knew Dickey would be
tough we just didn’t realize how ex
plosive the whole team was.
“In fact, I thought the second
team offensive line was coming off
the ball better than the first team.
And that’s not taking anything away
from the first team.
“We are a real young team and it’s
going to take us a while to get every
thing together. But, even after that
first score we kept hitting and driv
ing, and regarded that first scoring
play as a fluke. As the day went on,
we realized it was no fluke. ”
On a day when nothing went
right, nothing worked and the clock
seemed to have stopped for the
Memphis State Tigers, all Tiger
coach Williamson could say was,
“All we can do is forget about this
one and hope we can do better. ”
The Aggie fans and players alike
will not forget this one for a while.
Nor can one help hut remember
that this same Memphis State team
beat the Houston Cougars for their
only victory this year. Are the Ag
gies that good or did Houston just
have “one of those days. ”
