Saturday night at Rice Stadium, the pressure will be on Elroy Steen,
hn Dawson, Dan Davis and Leandrew Brown.
It will be the job of the those men who make up the Texas A&M
defensive secondary to shut down the aerial attack of quarterback Marc
Wilson and the rest of the Brigham Young Cougars.
Wilson led the Cougars to the Western Athletic Conference cham
pionship in 1977, completing 59 percent of his passes for 2,418 yards
and24 touchdowns. But Wilson played sporadically in 1978, suffering
aknee injury in BYU’s third game of the year. His replacement, Jim
McMahon, stepped in to take control of the team and direct it to the
WAG title and the Holiday Bowl.
Wilson, entering his senior season, is considered one of the finest
quarterbacks in the nation. BYU head coach LaVell Edwards is sure
lie'll go high in this year’s pro draft.
There’s no question in my mind that he has the ability to play pro
l,”said Edwards, who also coached Gifford Nielsen at BYU who is
now the Houston Oiler’s backup quarterback. “If he plays up to his

capabilities this season, he’ll be a potential first-round draft choice. He
just has all it takes to play pro ball. ’
But what he doesn’t have is an appendix. Wilson suffered an attack of
appendicitis three weeks ago and worked out with the team for the first
time Monday.
Wilson will start Saturday,” Edwards said. “He’s getting stronger
"d the sta e vei 7(tay he’s worked out. He’s not as far along as he would have been
' normally but I hope he can play the entire game.
“My main concern is the heat. I don’t know if he has the endurance
to play the entire game.”
If Wilson can’t go the distance, Edwards will be forced to play
McMahon. Edwards had hoped to redshirt McMahon (a junior) this
season. But if Wilson proves incapable, the junior may be called upon
ill in.
It’s pretty rare that you find a team with two quarterbacks as
talented as those two,” Texas A&M head coach Tom Wilson said about
the BYU pair. “Both are right out of the mold of pro quarterbacks.
“BYU runs a tough offense. They use multiple sets and we ll see
every possible look on defense. Their quarterbacks do a great job of
throwing to their backs and just throwing in general. We have to keep
them from getting the quick strike.”
“It has been more of a mental preparation this week for us. There’s
noway, in a week, we can show our defense all the looks that they’ll see
against BYU.”
, . Steen will start at the free safety position for the Aggies with Dawson
* ‘ ' at strong safety, Davis at right corner and Brown at the left corner,
lion kib ^ r0Wn W '^ b e starting in front of the injured Carl Grulich.
r | “Carl twisted an ankle back in two-a-days and hasn’t fully recov-
ectthati ere ^’ ^ son said- “He’ll see a lot of playing time but we ll start
the Ne ® rown '
' “Heelgood about Elroy at safety (from cornerback last season). He’s
laying better than anyone in the secondary for us. Dawson’s never
played strong safety before, but we re confident in him. Seeing if he
can do the job is just another question we need to get answered.
The questions ought to be answered quickly. The Cougars will come
out throwing the ball often against the untested Aggie secondary
Saturday night.
"We re going to come out and match up our strengths to the Aggies
weaknesses,” Edwards said. “We attack coverages, not personnel. We
try to force the opposition into coverages that we can predict.
“Since the Aggies had the coaching change, they’ve gone to a
different attitiude on defense. They run more zone coverages and don’t
gamble as much on pass coverage.
The Aggies will attack with Mike Mosley at quarterback, Curtis
Dickey at tailback and David Brothers starting at fullback. Freshman
GaryKubiak will back up Mosley, with freshmen Johnny Hector and
Earnest Jackson, along with Temple Aday, backing up Dickey.
“Alothas been said about the freshmen running backs and I’ve said a
[lot,’ Wilson admitted. “But I’ve neglected to talk about Temple Aday.
Aday is a solid back and he’ll be our No. 2 tailback Saturday.”
Junior David Hill is listed as the backup fullback for the BYU game.
Missing from the list of fullbacks is George Woodard. Wilson feels
Woodard still hasn t recovered sufficiently from the broken ankle he
suffered a year ago.
George isn’t ready to assume the role of a starter for us,” Wilson
said. “He hasn’t gotten to the point that we can depend on him to play
every down. His leg is still hurting him and it may be three or four
games until he’s ready to go.
Kickoff at Rice Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
