Earnest Jackson can hardly cut on his ankle, and A&M is 2-3 on the year. Other than that, the Aggie football team is doing fine. In fact, the team may he doing better than everyone thinks. Most of the less-diehard fans have kissed off the Ags’ chance at the Cotton this year, but the players haven’t. After last week’s loss to the Houston Cougars and some sleepy officials, one would think the maroon and white troops would be about ready to give it up. Analysis “Our day’s gonna come,” said an optimistic Mark Lewis after the Aggies fell just short in a dramatic com eback to Houston, 17-13 last weekend. For the snake-bitten Aggies, Saturday had better be the “day,” because the dark-horse of the conference, Baylor, will be coming into town for a little visit. The 5-0 Bears have beaten Texas A&M the past two years, and this year’s squad looks very impressive, to say the least. Led on defense by All-America Mike Singlet ary and on offense by All-SWC back Walter Abercrom bie, the Bears are out to repeat their 1974 miracle year, when they won the conference. Cornerback Darrell Adams, for one, is looking for ward to the matchup. “We’re still going for the Cotton Bowl,” he said. “We knew we’d probably lose one. I’m going to be glad to see what Baylor’s got.” Although the Ags lost Beal for at least a few weeks after he was injured in the second quarter against the Cougars, Mike Mosley will once again take the reins against the Bears. He’ll be going despite a bruised shoulder suffered on the next to last play of the Houston game on a very questionable hit by Hosea Taylor. His backup will be Gary Kubiak. After Mosley had dumped off a pass under a heavy rush, he was slammed out of bounds by Taylor. Mean while, the referee in the area was busy fainting on the middle of the field. It was all part of the Aggies’ bad luck. Saturday, however, is a new day and Baylor is a new opponent. Wide receiver Mike Whitwell, who hauled in a 1980 SWC season-high six receptions for 145 yards against the Cougars, is optimistic facing the Bears. “If we’d beaten Houston, we’d be on top right now,” he said Wednesday. “We’ve got our backs up against the wall right now. I think we can do it. Baylor’s going to be really high coming in (after last week’s 32-28 win over SMU). “Their secondary is worse than Houston’s. This is an important week for us. ” Texas A&M will be bringing in an ever-improving offense against the Bears (no matter who is at QB), and a defensive secondary that has played up to its potential recently. All in all, you doubting “two-percent,” “Highway 6 runs both ways,” “bad” (etc., etc., etc.) Ags, can either stay at home and miss a good ballgame, or join the over 71,000 of us who will jam into Kyle Field Saturday and see one of the best matchups of the year.
