don’t think there is a quarterback in

afternoon and he learned.”
The Memphis State quarterback
learned about the Aggie defense
more than once, both in the pocket
and scrambling out of the pocket.

Betts for 93 yards worth of quarter
back sacks.
Meanwhile, the Memphis State
defense never got to quarterback
Mike Mosley, who rushed for 45
yards and two touchdowns, com
pleted five of nine passes for 70
yards and made a play that shows
why he is a contender for Best Quar
terback to Ever Run the Option
honors. On the Aggies’ second pos
session of the game, Mosley ran
right on third down. Near the
sideline, he ran between two defen
ders and, at what must have been
the last moment before he would be
dragged down, Mosley pitched the
ball to his trailing back, Curtis Dic
key, who scampered down the
sideline for a touchdown.
“Mike runs the option just about
as good as you can run it,” Bellard
said. “He knows when to keep the
ball, when to pitch it, when to hand
it off and when to take it back. Plus
that, he also has that extra bit of dar
ing that it takes to be an effective
option quarterback.”
Dickey had a 167-yard afternoon
rushing that was highlighted by a
65-yard touchdown run on the Ag
gies’ first play from scrimmage.
“I kinda surprised my own self on
that first play,” the junior running
back said of his touchdown that
originated from the I-formation.
“I really don’t have a preferance
for either the wishbone or the I,”
Dickey said. Statistics tend to bear
this out, as Dickey rushed for 84
yards from the wishbone and 83
yards from the I. “I just know that
running the I made me tougher be
cause I have to know how to run
inside. But both seem to be work
ing.”
Likewise, both the Aggie offense
and the Aggie defense seem to be
working. In years past, there have
been times when the offense was
there but the defense was lacking,
or visa versa. At this point, both
units are performing together to win
games. This is important because
Kansas, Boston College and Mem
phis State are past. The future holds
a conference that, in the words of
Coach Bellard, “has five teams that
could be contenders for the champ
ionship and nine teams that could
beat any of the other teams. ”
