Many Southwest Conference
teams have been looking at the Texas
A&M football team lately to see what
the Ags would do and if the team
could come back from the changes,
setbacks and injuries of the past few
weeks.
Greg Davis, A&M quarterback
coach, has seen the most changes on
the team as far as leadership is con
cerned. The quarterback spot is the

“leader” position of the team, he
said, and stressed the Aggies must
have confidence and be comfortable
with their quarterback.
“David Beal is a good leader and
has a great rapport with all of his
receivers,” said Davis. “The team is
comfortable with him at the con
trols.”
Beal worked hard with all his re
ceivers throughout the summer and
two-a-day workouts getting ready for
the season. Beal also does a good job
moving the team, he said.
“It is unfortunate that we lost
David against Houston but we had
an excellent performance from Mike
Mosley,” the coach said. For the
number of snaps that Mosley took
last week, he did a very good job, he
said.
“We will run the same basic type
of offense throughout the season re
gardless of who is quarterback, ” he
said, adding the way the game goes
will dictate the plays the offense will
“I like to throw on first down to
keep the defense off-balance, ” Davis
said. An offense will move the ball on
a defense that is off-balance.
“A lot of factors go into good plays
to keep the defense guessing,” he
said. The line has to give the quarter
back time to work and throw, the
receivers have to run tight routes
and the ball must be thrown on
target.
The Baylor defense always pre
sents a lot of problems for the Aggie
offense. The linebackers and tackles
are very good at what the Baylor
coaches want them to do, he said.
The coach emphasized Mike Sing
letary as one of the best linebackers
in the country. The other two are
good, he said, they pursue well and
cut the runners down before they
can really get going.
The tackles are excellent pass

rushers and slant a lot trying to keep
the offense guessing as to where they
are going, Davis said.
Davis said the Aggie offense has to
be more disciplined than the de
fense. The offensive players must
know where they are going and who
to hit when they get there. It is a key
to winning this game.
“The success of the Tech game
brought the team together,” he said.
“There is a quiet confidence on
offense and strong determination on
defense.” The team simply needs to
overcome the problems and obsta
cles they had against Houston to suc
ceed.
“We sustained a couple of long
drives, one in the fourth quarter that
helped us win the Tech game. We
had a good game against Houston but
mistakes cost us. All we can do now is
work harder on excution and try to
improve.
“The longer we can keep our de
fense off the field, the better chance
we have of winning the game.”
He said the success of the Aggie
offense that outgained Houston 361
yards to 317, was partly due to Beal’s
inspiration, which helped the other
players to do their job. He earned
the right to start and instilled confi
dence into the offense that they can
move the ball against anyone.
Mosley came in and took advan
tage of the situation to move the
team well Saturday, Davis added.
He took charge and became the lead
er under adverse conditions.
“Mike was impressive in the game
especially under the circumstances, ”
he said. Mosley is listed as the starter
against Baylor but if he cannot go,
sophomore Gary Kubiak will play.
“Mike is excited at being returned
to quarterback and is working hard to
get ready for Baylor.”
Davis said he thinks Mosley will
be ready to play despite the injuries
he suffered during the Houston
game.
“He had a hard time breathing
when he was hit,” he said. "It was a
shot square in the chest.” Mosley’s
left thumb is heavily wrapped for
workouts this week but he is working
out, he said.
The attitude of the team is a great
improvement over three weeks ago.
It is a working attitude, he said; the
players thought they should have
won against Houston and are willing
to work to prepare for the Bears.
Davis said part of the new attitude
also comes from Mosley. He was
moved from quarterback to free safe
ty last week but came in during the
game Saturday and played wherever
he was needed. Mosley played in the
defensive secondary, returned kick
offs and returned to quarterback.
“We needed him in the secondary
last week,” his on-again, off-again
former coach said. "But (he) was
ready when David went down.” He
accepted the move to safety before
the game and moved right in to move
the offense when the Ags had to have
him.
And having two good quarterbacks
help, as evidenced during the
Houston game when Beal injured
his wrist.
Davis said he could not compare
the two quarterbacks because the
styles are different. Mosley refies on
his speed to get him out of trouble,
he said, where Beal, who is not as fast
as Mosley, has to duck under into the
defense to find a hole.
