Early in the fourth quarter with
Texas A&M leading Texas, 17-7
Saturday, Aggie quarterback David
Beal scrambled for a much-needed
first down and was sandwiched be
tween two Texas Longhorns as he
was tackled. ,
He came out of the game a little
stunned and for awhile was not really
aware of where he was. But, with
approximately two minutes left in
the game, he “woke up” to see a
24-14 A&M lead and his teammates
celebrating.
“I remember when I got hurt, ” he
said Sunday. “But, in the last two
minutes of the game or so, I regained
my senses.”
The ovation he received as he left
the field soothed a lot of the past
hurts of the 1980 season and his col
lege career.
“It really is satisfying,” he said.
“The way the people reacted made
me feel real good. What any athlete
wants to do is win over the fans.
“I don’t think about that (not start
ing until this year). I respected his
(Head Coach Tom Wilson’s) deci
sion.”
While Beal and the jubilant Aggies
celebrated the 24-14 win with Dr.
Pepper showers in the lockerroom, a
tearful Wilson sat happily in a neigh
boring room reflecting on a long,
trying season that finally went the
right way for a change.
“I think this is what we’ve been
talking about,” he said to numerous
reporters crowding the tiny room.
“Quitters never win and winners
never quit.”

And it was just in time. The senior
quarterback, who has been a bench
warmer for three years for the Aggies
before getting his chance in the sun
this year, walked off the field with a
fine performance under his belt and
the respect of over 72,000 fans at
Texas’ Memorial Stadium.

Just as the victory was especially
savory for the Aggies as a team, it was
appropriately a team effort. Coaches
and players were hard-pressed to
find a standout star among the squad
after the game, but Beal was given
the game ball by Wilson.
“I’m tremendously proud of our
players,” said defensive coordinator
R.C. Slocum. “We started four
freshmen today.
“Jeff Fuller started at free safety
and played a helluva game. Greg
Williams started at cornerback and
did a fine job. ”
Most players agreed the turning
point occurred on a broken play that
turned into a 56-yard pass play in the

third quarter from Beal to receiver
Mike Whitwell.
With 6:50 remaining in that quar
ter and the Aggies on their own 22,
Beal scrambled in the backfield
trying to avoid a heavy Texas rush.
Finally, Beal stepped up and threw
across the field to Whitwell, who
took the perfect toss and ran it to the
Texas 22-yard line.
“I was supposed to go across the
field,” said Whitwell. “But I saw
David in trouble and I came back.
That play turned it around, I think.”
Beal agreed.
"It was the play,” he said. “Mike
wasn’t even the primary receiver, it
was supposed to be a swing pass to
Earnest. I had to scramble around
and find a receiver and I saw Mike
breaking away.”
Four plays later, the Aggies scored
and never looked back.
Superb play by linebacker Will
Wright (eight tackles, win-clinching
interception), fullback Thomas San
ders (a brilliant 28-yard TD recep
tion), tight end Mark Lewis (five-
yard TD reception, his first collegi
ate score), defensive linemen Arlis
James (nine tackles and a key quar
terback sack), linebacker Mike Little
(nine tackles, one key fumble recov
ery), place kicker David Hardy (38-
yard field goal), punter Kyle Stuard
(44.1-yard average on the day includ
ing two over 60 yards), among others
led the Aggies.
Senior wide receiver David Scott
heaped most of the praise on Beal.
“David Beal, he was the key,” he
said. “He’s a good leader. I just like
playing with him.”
Scott said he was finally happy
with the season.
“This makes the year,” he said.
“There’s just nothing like it, beating
Texas. It heals all the pain of the
year. ’’
Lost in the shuffle of praise was
backup quarterback Gary Kubiak,
who came on in the fourth quarter
when Beal was injured and did an
excellent job keeping the offense
geared up, completing a 28-yard TD
pass to Sanders.
On the negative side on the after
noon was the attempt by several
A&M students to fire the Longhorns’
cannon late in the fourth quarter.
That attempt ended with several
bruised Aggies and an intact cannon.
The Longhorns won that one.
Cornerback summed up the after
noon this way: “When we came in at
halftime and they only had seven, we
knew we could make up those seven
points, and the offense turned it
around.
“It really is great to win. It always
helps to go into next year with a win.
This was kind of our bowl game —
the Texas Bowl, and we won it.”
