The Texas Aggies turned Mustang
Mania into Mustang Mush in front
of 58,690 fans and a regional televi
sion audience as they defeated the
hapless maniacs from SMU 47-14 in
Kyle Field Saturday.
What started out to be a low-
scoring, slow-moving game turned
into a battle of the freshmen run
ning backs on both teams. And it
was the Aggie rookies who out
shined the Ponies stable of blue
chips this day.
It was a mixture of Aggie quarter
back Mike Mosley s passing and
running and the runnin g of
freshmen Johnny Hector and Ear
nest Jackson that put the Ponies
under along with a tough A&M de
fense.
“I think our players are now
realizing what they can do and
they’ve put the first half of the sea
son behind them,” said a happy
Tom Wilson. “Right now they’ve got
a pretty good taste in their mouths. ”
SMU’s defense, led by linebacker
Eric Ferguson, looked as if it wasn’t
going to let the Aggies get a first
down much less score 47 points as it
held the Ags to seven yards total of
fense in the first quarter. Mean
while, the Mustangs’ offense rolled
up 103 yards of offense in the first
quarter.
But the 103 yards were to no avail
as the Ponies turned the ball over
twice, something the Aggies did
only once the entire game, in the
first quarter. In fact, SMU fumbled
five times losing the ball four times.
The only scoring in the first
period was Aggie David Hardy’s
37-yard field goal. But Hardy was
only warming up.
After SMU put together a nine-
play, 64-yard touchdown drive, the
Aggies moved down the field and
set up Hardy’s attempt at a 51-yard
field goal into the wind. The
freshman redshirt from Huntsville
put it through and the Aggies
started their offensive assault.
The assault was led primarily by
Mosley who seems to have a knack
for playing well in front of television
cameras as he was picked A&M
player of the game by ABC.
Mosley’s premier on the tube was a
successful undoing of Houston as a
freshman when he earned ABC of
fensive player of the game honors.
The junior from Humble mixed
roll-out passes with straight drop-
back passes to complete 10 of 15
passes for 165 yards. Mosley also
rushed for 65 yards and scored two
touchdowns.
“I don’t think Tve had a bad TV
game,” said a jubilant Mosley. “It
was hard not to play well with the
linemen giving me plenty of time to
pass.”
“I’m very confident in the way
we’ve been playing. We know we
can play with anybody,” Mosley
said.
“I think SMU had the best pur
suit of any team we ve played. (By
ron) Hunt and (Eric) Ferguson are
very quick and their defense never
gave up. Not only that, they hit
hard.
A man who should know just how
hard the Mustangs defensive line
men hit is Ag offensive tackle Zach
Guthrie.
“I compare them with Houston,”
Guthrie said. “Their two tackles are
as good as (Leonard) Mitchell and
Aggies Trey Schutz and Max King
both won their singles and doubles
matches against Texas,
Ferol Hinkle and Judy Willard
won their doubles match as did
Terri Neutze and Liliana Fernan
dez.

(Hosea) Taylor. They play with a lot
of emotion and they kept hitting
hard the whole game, believe me,
they never let up.
“In the first quarter, they made
some substitutions that we had to
adjust to on the line but once we
adjusted, we got going.”
Hector, the quiet but well-spoken
freshman from Louisiana, gave
Aggie fans a look into the future by
dazzling them with his moves and
scoring two touchdowns.
“I just go out and do what I can
do, said Hector who replaced
Dickey who went out with a bruised
hip. “I just want to do what ever I
can to help the team.
“I figured we could eventually
run outside them because they kept
zooming out at the first to cover us
wide so we just started passing and
running up the middle and every
thing opened up.”
It was a confidence builder for the
entire Aggie team which has put 88
points on the board and given up
only 29.
Speaking of defense, defensive
end Jacob Green is another one who
seems to show off when the cameras
are focused on him. Green led the
Aggies with 14 tackles (eight unas
sisted and six assisted) and recov
ered two fumbles. Doug Carr also
intercepted a pass and had eight
tackles.
In all, the Aggies racked up 457
yards of offense, splitting almost
evenly between passing and run
ning. The Ags rushed for 255 yards
and passed for 202, with 117 of those
passing to Gerald Carter.
