know what I have to get and I
ut ami get it, Hadnot said. “If
ybody on the line makes their
ks, or if it’s a stalemate at the
line, I know I’ll get my two or three
yards every time. If I keep my end
of the bargain up I know we ll move
the ball.”
“It’s hard to stop 240 pounds com
ing right at you,” said Tech quarter
back Ron Reeves of his starting
fullback. “Calling his number is our
safest bet.
“They were stacking up against
his best plays and he was still get
ting his yards. He played hurt and
did what was asked of him.”
Hadnot realized the importance
of the A&M game to the Red
Raider’s season. He knew that a
victory was essential to the success
of the team this season. And he
wasn’t going to let a leg injury keep
him out of such an important game.
“Everybody’s been down on us
this season,” Hadnot said of the
Raider’ 1-2-1 start. “Everybody
wanted to give up on this team. We
had something to prove against the
Aggies.”
Hadnot had another motivational
factor for the Aggie game. Going
into Saturday’s action, Hadnot was
ranked as the sixth best rusher in
the nation, averaging 128.8 yards an
outing. The Aggies’ Curtis Dickey
was rated as nation’s second best
with a 135.5 yards-per-game aver
age. With Dickey sitting out most of
the game with a leg injury, Hadnot
“won” their head-to-head confronta
tion.
In the Raider’s opening game of
the year, against the University of
Southern California, it was Hadnot
vs. Charles White in the rushing
matchup. White left the game early
with a leg injury.
Dickey, White and Hadnot are all
seniors this season. All have im
pressive rushing statistics and all
ought to be considered as Heisman
Trophy candidates. But Hadnot
doesn’t feel he’s in the same class as
the other two runners.
“All three of us are good run
ners,” Hadnot said of the compari
son, “and we re all doing what we
can to help our teams. But I
shouldn’t be compared to those
guys. Those two are unbelievable.
“I’m not a better runner than
Curtis Dickey. He combines his
speed with his power. I’m not that
fast. I’m just a power running back
trying to get whatever I can
whenever I get the ball.”
He’ll have a lot more chances to
prove his worth as the season con
tinues. If he continues to show the
courage and strength he showed
against the Aggies Saturday night,
James Hadnot may have a date at
New York’s Downtown Athletic
Club next spring.
