Press back of the week and the
Southwest Conference’s offensive
player of the week.
With awards in hand, Dickey and
his teammates trip off to Memphis
to face the much-improved Mem
phis State Tigers Saturday night.
In the third game of last season,
the Aggies destroyed the Tigers
58-0 in Kyle Field, the first meeting
ever between the two schools.
Memphis State coach Richard
Williamson hasn’t forgotten his
team’s performance against the Ag
gies last year.
“I just tried to forget that game as
soon as it was over,’’ Williamson
said. “I just blocked it out. But I still
have dreams about Dickey and
Mosley.
“Last year’s game has to be in the
back of the player’s minds that went
out there last year. We haven’t
talked too much about it this year
because we don’t want to remind
them of it.’’
But what the Tigers have been
reminded of all week is the Aggies’
performance against Penn State.
The films of last week’s game has
Williamson in awe of the A&M at
tack.
“After watching last week’s game,
you can’t help hut be impressed
with them,” Willaimson said about
A&M. “Everything they did was
done well. They executed as well as
they could have.
“Dickey showed last week that he
is a superb football player. He
seemed to run where ever he
wanted to and we re going to have to
play the entire field if we hope to
stop him.”
No team has been able to yet.
Dickey has accumulated 405 yards
rushing on 75 carries through the
first three games this season. His
running has taken some of the offen
sive burden off quarterback Mike
Mosley. Mosley has hit on 60 per
cent of his passes this season for 214

“We re solid at the quarterback

State game) but David Beal re

jured in fall workouts) this week.
Beal looked very good this week in
practice.
“We also have Mark McQueen
available so we re pretty strong.”
The Aggies will be facing a Mem
phis State defense that has played
sporadically this season. The Tigers
held Emory Bellard’s Mississippi
State Bulldogs to 13 points in the
season opener.
The next week against Ole Miss,
the defense decided to take the day
off, allowing 38 points in the Tigers’
only loss of the year.
Last week, against Wichita State,
MSU held the Shockers to 10
points.
“We’ve shown we can play good
and bad at times this season,”
Williamson said. “The first game we
showed a lot of enthusiasm and we
came away with the win. But in the
second game, we had no defense at
all. I don’t know what happened.

come away with the win. Our guys
didn’t show any fire and didn’t play
well at all. I hope things change this
week.”
Wilson doesn’t. Wilson, coming
off the biggest win of his coaching
career, knows his team will be fac
ing a different club than the one that
visited Kyle Field last year.
“This team is much improved
over the one we faced last year,”
Wilson said. “They’re much more
balanced on offense.
“You can’t compare their defense
with the physical-type we played
against Penn State. Memphis State
is a quicker team, more versatile.
It’s a different type of team. ”
The Aggies seem to be a different
team since their victory last Satur
day. The confidence may have been
restored since the season’s opening
two losses. Last week may be the
push the Aggies needed.
“We just have to make sure that
our players aren’t reliving the Penn
State victory,” Wilson said. “They
need to realize that you can’t live in
the past.”
Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
in Memphis’ Liberty Bowl Memo
rial Stadium. A crowd of 40,000 is
expected for the game.

Rogez played game

United Press International
PURCELL, Okla. — Robert
Rogez, a 145-pound high school
junior, finished the football game
with nine tackles, a 33-yard pass re
ception and a broken neck.
Rogez was injured on Purcell
High School’s first defensive play in
a season-opening 13-7 victory over
Noble Sept. 7. He sat out a few
plays, returned to finish the game
and later went to a hospital because
his neck was sore.
He then learned his neck was
broken and he could never play
football again.
“I threw my head into the runner
and I knew something was wrong as
soon as I hit him, Rogez said. “My
fingers and toes curled up and got
numb, but that was only tempi

Rogez said he did not want

HOUSTON — The Cleveland
Browns play the Houston Oilers
Sunday and Browns’ halfback Greg
Pruitt is a questionable participant.
So what else is new?
Pruitt, the team’s leading rusher
and a potential gamebreaker any
time he carries the ball, has played
so infrequently in games against his
hometown team that the Browns
just naturally prepare to play with
out him. They wish they did not
have to.
The last time the 5-foot-10, 190
pound Pruitt was 100 percent
healthy in a Houston game, (1977)
his running and halfback pass car
ried the Browns downfield for a
last-second, game-winning field
goal.
“Greg gives their offense an
added dimension," said Oilers de
fensive coach Eddie Biles. “Were
preparing as if he will play.”
Pruitt strained a knee late in the
first half of Cleveland s 26-7 win
over the Dallas Cowboys Monday
night. He had helped build a 21-
point Browns’ lead, but without him
