By SEAN PETTY
Battalion Sports Editor
It’s a good thing Texas A&M head
coach Tom Wilson wasn’t sitting in
the third deck of the expanding Kyle
Field because the Aggies’ 17-14 loss
to the University of Houston may
have been enough to make him
jump.
After losing four games by a total
of 14 points (three in the fourth
quarter and two of those by one
point) it’s not hard to see why Wil
son and the Aggies would be going
crazy.
Wilson, who looked drained and
dejected after the Aggies’ loss,
couldn’t believe what he had just
seen.
“I don’t know how our players can
play much better than they did to
day,’’ Wilson said. “It was one of our
best ball games overall and we still
lost.
“I don’t understand. I just don’t
know what it takes.
Wilson is not the only one who
can’t understand the seemingly
snake-bitten Aggie team.
“The same thing’s been happen
ing to us all year,’ said defensive
end Jacob Green. T know they
(Houston) know who should have
won that game. They know we were
supposed to win and that they were
lucky to get out of here with that

we ll just have to play harder. I
don’t know, I really don’t know what
it’s gonna take. ’
“I guess it was already written up
that we were going to lose,’’ said
fullback David Hill. “A guy makes a
catch like that and there’s no way to
stop them. I don’t understand it.”
The A&M loss was not due to any
one play but a series of factors and
plays that put the Ags on the losing
end.
Most people will probably
second-guess Wilson’s decision to
go for the first down when the Ag
gies had the ball on Houston’s 37-
yard line with 56 seconds left in the
game but Wilson explained the
logic.
‘‘We had three options,” Wilson
said. “We could go for the field goal
and that was the worst choice. We
could punt and gain 17 yards at the
most or we could go for the first.
“If we make the first, we win the
was a little behind and Love came
up with ball.”
Another factor that affected the
Aggies was that the defense spent
too much time on the field in the
first half against a Houston offense
that has averaged over 300 yards a
game and most of that on the
ground. But the defense never let
up despite having to play so much.
“We’ve got a hell of a defense.
Green said. “Everything Houston
got today was a gift and we gave
them more than they’ve been given
all year. They didn’t earn a thing.
“The breaks and mistakes are kill-
win.
“We ll come back though. We’ve
been coming back all year...I guess
game.
Wilson pointed out that the Ag
gies have had two punts blocked in
crucial situations and missed two
key field goals this season.
The real damage came early in
the game when the Aggies turned
the ball over twice, one a Curtis
Dickey fumble and the other a
Donnie Love interception of Aggie
quarterback Mike Mosley’s pass.
The Cougars turned Dickey’s first
quarter fumble into three points and
Love’s interception started the
Coogs’ second quarter touchdown
drive.
T was supposed to overshoot
(Gerald) Carter on those passes that
were intercepted,” said Mosley who
threw three interceptions. “I should
have put it up and in front of him
and let him fight for it but my pass
ing us.
The Cougars rolled up 369 yards
of offense to A&M’s 260. Most of the
Coogs offense came on their
multiple-back attack which ac
counted for 264 yards on the
ground. But it was one pass play
that kept the Coogs alive in the final
seconds of the game.
“We had the receiver covered as
well as you can cover someone,
Wilson said of the catch Cougar re
ceiver Eric Herring made to move
the Cougars to the A&M 22. “Then
he makes an unbelievable catch. It
was just one of those Hail Mary
catches.”
The whole frustrating feeling may
best be summed up by two
freshmen Corps members who had
come onto the track with the rest of
the freshmen, preparing to throw
the Aggie yell leaders into the Fish
Pond after the Aggies’ victory.
As the Cougars scored with 15
seconds left one freshman, visibly
shaken, asked the other, “What do
we do when we lose?”
His partner answered, T don’t
know. I just don’t know.

Holtz prepares Ho
United Press International
Anyone with a television set and
the inclination to turn it on had a
chance to watch the Texas Long
horns defense last Saturday.
Arkansas coach Lou Holtz didn’t
have a chance to turn on a television
set. His team was busy beating
Texas Tech while the Longhorns
were whipping the Oklahoma Soon-
ers, 16-7.
But Holtz had already formed his
opinion of the No. 1 defensive unit
in the country.
“To prepare for Texas we 11 have
to go scrimmage the Pittsburgh
Steelers three days in a row, says
Holtz. “That’s the only team com
parable.
“When we make a first down,
we ll probably put the extra point
team in the game we 11 be so ex
cited. The best way we have of mov
ing the ball down the field is for
Steve Cox to punt.”
