How does Texas A&M spell relief?
They spell it — H-O-M-E.
The Aggie football team limped to
College Station Saturday night a tot
ally demoralized and tired team after
being massacred at the hands of the
Georgia Bulldogs, 42-0, that after
noon.
It was the worst demonstration of
football by an Aggie team since 1970,
when Ohio State walked away with a
56-13 win. The last time Texas A&M
was shut out was 1978, at the hands
of the Houston Cougars in Houston,
33-0.
For approximately three hours,
the Aggies were outcoached, out
played, outpassed, outrun and out-
icheered in every phase of football in
front of 60,150 very vocal fans. After
the game, the shocked team sat si
lently in the dressing room, trying to
make some sort of sense out of the
riddle Georgia threw at them.
“I usually have a lot to say,” said
fullback David Hill quietly. “Now, I
don’t know what to say. I guess you
could say we know we can be beat
now.”
The Aggies also found out they can
be trampled.
From the first kickoff, the Aggies
were held at bay by a Bulldog team
that clearly was more prepared to
take the field than Texas A&M.
After holding the ’Dogs on the first
set of downs, Texas A&M’s highly-
touted offense took the field. Johnny
Hector took the first handoff and
weaved for 14 yards to his 34.
Then, the roof fell in. Freshman
Thomas Sanders couldn’t control a
Mike Mosley handoff, and the en
suing fumble was recovered by Bull
dog defensive lineman Pat McShea
on the A&M 33. Six plays later Geor
gia quarterback Buck Belue hit flank
er Amp Arnold for the first touch
down. The rest is history, unfortun
ately.
“We were completely domin
ated,’ said a disconsolate Texas
A&M Head Coach Tom Wilson fol
lowing the game. “They just intimi
dated our team. We didn’t stand toe-
to-toe with them.”
On paper, the two teams looked
fairly alike. A&M had the speed and
powerful offense, Georgia a steady
and reliable defense. On the field,
however, the Bulldogs were the
finest team the Ags have faced in
quite awhile.
Mosley completed nine-of-19 pas
ses for only 62 yards. Backup David
Beal, who came in in the waning mi
nutes of the fourth quarter, com
peted three-of-five passes for 57
yards in an aborted last-gasp effort
for a score which was ended by a
Bulldog interception.
One bright spot, believe it or not,
was the fluid running of Hector, who
danced and weaved brilliantly in
gathering 87 yards on the ground in
15 carries against an obviously per
ceptive defense.
For Mike Mosley, however, the
game was a disappointment. From
the beginning, the senior speedster
was handcuffed by poor offensive
line protection and team errors
which didn’t leave him much time to
work.
On 14 tries, he gained only 19
yards on the ground, far below the
116 he netted last week against Ole
Miss.
A particularly frustrating set of
events put Mosley on the catch-up
end the rest of the afternoon.
Trailing 14-0 in the second quar
ter, the Aggies had excellent field
position on the Georgia 47 after a
poor punt. After a two-yard Hector
plunge, Mosley faded back under
the best protection of the day and
completed a pass to Mike Whitwell
to the Georgia 29.
However, holding was detected in
the offensive line and the Aggies fal
tered once again.
After the game, a red-eyed Mosley
spoke in a near whisper at his locker
about the aborted drive.
“That was a big play, a big mistake
for us,” he said. “That was the first
time we’d been in their end. We’d
have been back in it if we’d scored
then.”
But it was not to be.
The Bulldogs churned through a
weak Aggie secondary at will, as Be
lue passed for 147 yards on only six
completions. Meanwhile, the fresh
man wonder Herschel Walker, who
carried Georgia to a 16-15 win over
Tennessee last weekend, sprinted
through the Aggies for 145 yards,
including a 76-yard TD romp in the
third period.
The Bulldogs racked up 207 total
yards on the ground and 210 in the
air.
One of the most disappointing
facets of the Aggie performance, or
lack of it, was the erratic punting of
freshman Kyle Staurd, who averaged
37.6 yards. He had to punt 11 times.
“We played as miserably as we
could have,” Wilson noted after
wards. “There’s obviously lots of
work to do. Mistakes, execution,
fumbles. Defensively we were not
physical enough. We were thor
oughly beaten and thoroughly
embarrased.
“We ll see if they’re (the Aggies)
man enough to come back. I would
hope they are. We were just outplay
ed in every area. We re very dis
appointed as a team.
