If Dickey and Armstrong are un able to play against Baylor, the run ning hack corps will include Brothers, Dale, Herbert Booker and Holly Wilson at halfback with Raymond Belcher and Roger Wiley at fullback. The offensive backfield isn’t the only position hurting this week. Starting center Ed Pustejovsky is definitely out for this week’s game and it is not known when he’ll re turn to the lineup. Backup center Don Wright, sprained a knee in Monday’s practice and is doubtful for Saturday’s game. That leaves Preston Dickson and freshman David Bandy to handle the snapping duty for the Aggies Saturday. “It seems like all of our injuries hit at one position at once, ” Bellard commented. “Before the season began we thought we had good depth at both the running back and center positions, but now we re short-handed at both. “We won’t alter workouts this week with all our injured. We ll work the people who are healthy and protect the ones that aren’t. This team is hurt and rightfully so. If we can get everyone well again we ll begin to play good football, as we have all season. After all, this is the same team that won its first four games this year. ” It was the fifth game that killed them. In the Houston game the Ag gies called 23 passes and threw nine, completing five for 77 yards. It wasn’t quarterback Mike Mosley’s choice to carry the ball on the 14 plays that the ball wasn’t thrown; he didn’t have the chance to pass against the Houston rush. “Offense is a game of blocking and to halfback. David Brothers if you don’t block well you don’t fHHMH^**#****#^ »»»»»»##» move the football,” Bellard ex plained. “We did not block well and Houston dominated the line of scrimmage. It wasn’t a question of not knowing who to block. We knew who but we just didn’t do the block ing.” It was the poorest showing for the Texas A&M offense thus far this sea son. Out of the 15 statistical categories kept, the Houston game was the worst for the Aggies in seven of the offensive categories, in cluding first downs, total offense of fensive plays and ,most obviously, scoring. It was the first re^uky, $<‘4^ son shut out of a Texas A&M team since 1971. Defensively, out of the 13 high and low categories kept this season, the Houston game ranked lowest in nine of the categories for the Aggies. The defense had its worst game this year, allowing the most first downs, rushing yards, total offense in a game, touchdowns both rushing and passing, and, most importantly, points allowed. No, it wasn’t one of Texas A&M’s better games. And it’s up to the team to work its way back into the good graces of its fans. And, more importantly, back into the favor of Emory Bellard.
