Meanwhile, the Aggie defense shut down a virtually non- exsistent Louisiana Tech rushing game, allowing only three yards on 34 carries. The Bulldog’s highly touted passing offense, however, accounted for 286 yards. On the Aggie’s first play from scrimmage Kubiak lofted a high pass to flanker Don Jones and the fans knew they were in for a treat. Although Jones missed the pass, two plays later Kubiak again called on Jones, this time connecting for a 31-yard touchdown reception. David Hardy’s extra point was good and the Ags were on top 7-0 just 2:13 into tbe game.

Equal Opportunity Employer M/F JL WLERO ENERGY CORPORATION Gary Kubiak Aggie 27-yard line. On third down and four, however, defensive end Jon van Sant tipped quarterback Matt Dunigan’s pass and inter cepted to stop the drive. It took just four plays for the Ags to get on the scoreboard again. This time Kubiak pitched to tail back Johnny Hector and he was off to the races. Hector galloped 45 yards around right end virtually unmolested by a surprised Bull dog defense. Hardy’s extra point was good and the Aggies were up by 14 with nine minutes left in the first quarter. Hardy made it 17-0 with one minute left in the first quarter on a 42-yard field goal after the Bull dogs stopped the Aggies at their own 32-yard line. After a 50-yard field goal attempt by Tech’s Roberto Dager that was wide to the right, the Aggies were once again on the move. Kubiak hit flanker Jimmie Williams for 38 yards and a first down on the Tech 8-yard line. Two plays later Kubiak went over left tackle from the three for the touchdown. Hardy’s conversion attempt was wide right and the score remained 23-0. The Aggies took the 23-point lead into the lockerroom at the half but were determined to hold Tech to as little as possible. In the first half alone the Ags had better than 200 yards total offense, while holding the Bull dogs to 107 — only six on the ground. Tech was playing its secondary close to the line of scrimmage throughout the game in hopes of stopping the Aggie outside rushing attack and Coach Tom Wilson took advantage of the situation on more than one occa sion. "We got a number of big plays because of the way they were play ing their secondary — extremely close and extremely aggressive — to stop our running game, ” Wilson said. The Aggies picked up where they left off in the third quarter. With 10:46 left in the third stan za Buzzy Sawyer’s 42-yard punt was fumbled and defensive tackle Kermit Foster fell on it at the Tech 29. It took the Aggies just two plays to punch the ball in. This time running back Thomas Sanders went around right end from ten yards out and suddenly the score was 30-0 with 10:22 left. After a 47-yard punt by Tech’s Brett Brewer the Aggies went to the air. This time Kubiak hit Jones streaking up the sideline and out ran the Tech defenders to the goal-line for a 92-yard pass and run play — a new Texas A&M record. With Hardy’s conversion the score was 37-0 with 7:41 left in the third period. The Aggies weren’t finished yet.

Tech finally got on the sw hoard with 23 seconds remain^ in the third period when fe drove 82 yards in nine pt against mostly second teamdefe!- ders. Running hack Jacob Cree went over right tackle hum® yard out for the score. Although the win was easy for the Aggies, it nonetheless, costly. Defensif safety Jeff Fuller was lost for it season with tom knee ligameati H e was scheduled to undeir,! surgery this morning. Defena end Paul Pender also hurt hisb hut the extent of the damage iini known. He will undergo an ortk scope examination this weekai will most likely miss the Ten Tech game. "Anytime you lose two sive starters of the caliber of Fule and Pender it takes the shineoffis excellent football game,” Wilsm said afterwards. Despite the injuries Wilson si: the Aggies needed the ballgam? “I felt like it answered some of tk questions that we had wanted answer. Number one, that o quarterback could run the optio. play and get the ball outside. Hi other was throwing the Ml det) downfield to keep the peopled us. ” Wilson said the Aggie gamepb was to get the ball outside andt throw deep on the Bi cause they played their secont so close — something Wilson other teams would probably dob stop the Aggie running attack "We feel that with theoffei that we are running that we in going to be strong running lean At least, one the defense respect.” Wilson said that another reastt he went deep so often wastokee; the opposing defenses honest. “I think it (tonight’s win)shom that wc can be versatile with on offense.” The Aggies highly-touted rushing duo of Hector and Jack® were held to just 129 yards, 83aie 15, 46, respectively. Wilson said his tea approached the game with jus one thing in mind. He said, thati ; hitte long as the first team was on field, no matter what the sewj was, that it was going to perform^ its maximum ability. “I think we did that,” he said “I am pleased with ourfootW team. Maybe the confidencew lost against Boston College waste gained tonight. “However,” Wilson said, jus! because of tonight 1 can’t say are a great football team. I d« think we have a chance tobeveff competitive. I think the players found out that we are pretty good with an opportunity to he mud better.” By ■ 0l Unix earn pitch fluid >een weal Af keel ritat: adve earn pitch Th arm their than bine ror shut Af ease rec In Stoll Now Better Than Ever.
