lifhe was really in Aggieland.
! these the same Texas Aggies
|his Bears had had such limited
against since TeaflTs arrival
or?
it was Kyle Field and they
the Texas Aggies. And after
second straight loss, the Ag-
Ihad some questions of their
hy could Texas A&M move the
et not get in the end zone? In
f first victory of the season, the
had 363 yards total offense
while the Aggies had 361. But try
telling that to the scoreboard.
“We were averaging 42 points a
game in our first four games,” Texas
A&M coach Emory Bellard said. Be
fore Houston the Aggies had not al
lowed a touchdown in 14 quarters of
football. “Now we haven’t scored a
touchdown in eight quarters. I think
Raymond
Belcher
we’re playing better football teams
but I don’t think they’re that much
better. It is a complete turn
around. ”
It is a turn for the worst for the
Aggies, who once in the game had to
settle for a field goal after moving
the ball 84 yards to the Baylor
2-yard line. Mike Mosley passed for
140 yards and the Aggies rushed for
221 yards.
“We moved the ball pretty well,”
Bellard said, “but when we got into
scoring position we let the wheels
fly off the machine instead of taking
it on in. We’ve just lost our offensive
punch.”
Is the Aggies’ offensive punch
personified in Curtis Dickey, who
played only sparingly because of a
sprained left ankle and a strained
right knee? Some people think so.
“That’s got to be it,” defensive
end Jacob Green said of Dickey’s
absence, trying to find a reason for
Texas A&M’s poor performance.
“Dickey is the backbone of that of
fense.”
Fullback Raymond Belcher
added, “Curtis got me sparked. He
came into the game and got me on
track. When he goes out of the
game, they (the opposing defense)
don’t have to concentrate on the
outside run and that makes it harder
for me.”
There was some question as to
why the injured Dickey, who had to
be helped from the field three
times, was allowed to play in the
game and risk further injury.
“I think we had no choice but to
play him,” Bellard said, noting that
the Aggies needed their best players
on the field. “Curtis felt like he
could play. He stepped on the field
to play.”
Belcher’s performance was one of
the high points of the afternoon for
the Aggies. In his first start for Texas
A&M, the 197-pound senior gained
119 yards on 24 carries. Belcher
started at fullback because David
Brothers was moved from fullback
to halfback to replace the injured
Adgar Armstrong. Belcher first dis
counted his performance, saying
that he didn’t do as well as he had
expected to. Then he was told that
he had rushed for over 100 yards.
“Did I really get over 100 yards?”
he asked in amazement. “I knew I
was tired. I felt like my legs were
dead.
“It was slow going at first. I ex
pected to be reading the defense
better and I had trouble reading
their linebackers. I was concerned
about fumbling the ball. I even took
a ball with me to the room last night
and just held it.” Belcher did fum
ble once but offensive tackle Cody
Risen recovered the ball for Texas
A&M.
Another high point for the Aggies
was the passing combination of
Mosley to split end Doug Teague.
Teague caught eight of Mosley’s
passes for 87 yards.
“We felt we could throw on
them,” Teague said. “They were
laying off of us quite a bit, giving us
a good cushion. We moved the ball
all day; we just didn’t get into the
end zone. And the name of the
game is scoring.”
Texas A&M is now tied with
Texas Tech, Rice and Baylor in
Southwest Conference standings
with a 1-2 record. Texas and Hous
ton are 3-0, SMU is 2-1, Arkansas is
1-1 and TCU is 0-3.
“The only thing we can do now is
play for our pride and maybe one of
the other bowl games,” Green said.
' “I think the Cotton Bowl is out of
|our reach.”

diving catch of an 11-yard pass from
Staubach.
In that drive Dorsett carried four
times for 23 yards.
The Eagles’ only score came on a
34-yard pass from Ron Jaworski to
tight end Keith Krepfle with 2:47
remaining in the third period.
That was one of only four times
the Eagles moved into Cowboys’
territory. They did so as time ran
out in the first half and again late in
the fourth quarter. But the Eagles
chose to punt on a fourth-and-10
situation at the Dallas 37 with 5:30
to play.
Philadelphia had one last chance
at the tying touchdown and moved
to the Cowboys’ 38 with 41 seconds
to play. But Jaworski, under a heavy
rush, threw the ball away and the
officials ruled he did so intention
ally.
That cost the Eagles 10 yards and
when Coach Dick Vermeil rushed
onto the field to protest the call, his
team was penalized 15 more yards
to eliminate a serious Philadelphia
threat as the final seconds ticked off.
Dallas’ win was its 15th straight
over the Eagles in the Cowboys’
home stadium. It was also the Cow
boys’ eight consecutive victory over
the Eagles and the 20th in the last
22 meetings.
Staubach, whose touchdown pass
to Pearson was his 16th scoring
throw of the season, went through,
one of his poorer games of the sea
son, completing 10 of 22 throws for
108 yards.
Staubach also was sacked four
times, but Dallas’ defense the pres
sure on Jaworski all afternoon.
With Dallas and Washington now
sharing the division lead, the New
York Giants have moved to within a
game of first place with a 5-3 record
and the Eagles are two games back
at 4-4.
