After looking at Saturday’s score, it would not be hard to believe that the Aggies had indeed been looking ahead to their trip to Austin. Six turnovers and a stubborn TCU quarterback named Steve Stamp almost caught the men in maroon looking too far ahead as Texas A&M stopped a last-minute TCU drive and defeated the Horned Frogs 15-7. “I felt like a lot of players under estimated TCU,” defensive tackle Eugene Sanders said after the game. “My feeling is that the (Ag gie) offense took this game too lightly. If they would have taken it in another manner, they could have burned out the lights on the scoreboard. Texas A&M coach Tom Wilson went a step further in speaking of the offense that amassed 484 yards total offense yet managed only one touchdown and two field goals. “I’m mad at our offensive football team for not doing some things that they can do,’ Wilson said. They have a responsibility to play and I don’t think they played very well. I’ve always heard that you’re not supposed to put the responsibility on the players but there are times when I as head coach can be very upset with them. I’m very discour aged and disappointed with our of fense. Mexican Stew Meat in a Flour Tortilla Touch Calling now available in most areas. Most styles available in limited quantities only.

You never know how a team is going to perform until it lines up on the foot ball field. Obviously, our offense hadn’t prepared very well mentally. At the same time, they were able to move the football. Our mistakes just took away from our overall perform ance.” The type of mental mistakes that had Wilson so upset were, for in stance, the five times the Aggie of fense was flagged for lining up offsides. The Aggie coach was not too tickled with Texas A&M’s five lost fumbles nor a David Beal inter ception either. Curtis (Dickey, who lost three fumble to TCU) has got a bad, bad habit of trying to change the football from hand to hand in critical areas,” Wilson said. Despite the fact that it looks lately as though he has been attending classes at the Tony Dorsett School of Fatal Fumbles, Dickey had his best day as an Aggie against the Horned Frogs. In his best career perform ance, the junior running back rushed for 230 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown romp. Early in the third quarter, Dickey surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for th e season.
