Page 10 THE BATTALION MONDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1978 MONDAY. OCTOBER 2. 1978 ^ 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.

CALL "ELISE" 846-4771 “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. ” Af*£ YOU SUNBURNEDP NO r BUI AIRS (1 Dj LE\| was day n for I statisl »e till [ousto| ;ed a nds 13 wii| iiing lilted 24- Ito Kej Burronff eudai dj the t\\J pigskn -h had audl -Q.
