Kubiak passes for 245 yards and two TDs
Ags ride aerial wave to 43-7 win
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Sports Editor
Yes Virginia, Texas A&M has an
offense. And yes, it has a defense,
too.
Saturday night in Kyle Field
both the Aggie offense and de
fense came alive and shut down a
stubborn Louisiana Tech team 43-
7 before 56,217 fans.
The Aggies, behind the hot
throwing arm of quarterback Gary
Kubiak, passed for over 245 yards
and two touchdowns, an aerial
show many fans hadn’t seen in

quite some time. Add that to the
216 rushing yards and the Aggies
were nothing less than specta
cular.
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.
The Bulldogs appeared to be
right back when the took the en

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. On the next possession
Kubiak hit split end Mike Whit-

missed the conversion al
but the Ags were up byfipoij

with Texas Tech.
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.”
