Holtz, Akers continue
praising one another
United Press International
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —
Arkansas coach Lou Holtz said
his Razorbacks have put
together no special schemes to
attack the Texas Longhorn de
fense Saturday in Fayetteville.
“Everything they do, they do
well, do it with good people and
are well coached,” Holtz said of
the Longhorn defense. “It com
es down to a game of execution.
We’ve got to move the football
against their defense.
“We’re not awed. We’re not
intimidated,” Holtz said. “We
are impressed.”
If the Razorbacks are capable
of playing a “heck of a fine foot
ball game against an outstand
ing opponent,” Holtz said,
Arkansas may come away with a
victory.
“We’ll find out on Saturday,”
the Razorback coach said in a
telephone news conference
Wednesday in Little Rock.
Arkansas’ biggest hurdle
going against top-ranked Texas
will be penetrating the Lon
ghorn defense which last week
held Oklahoma, then the
second best rushing team in the
country, to 14 points and only
194 total yards ofiense.
“We believe in our defense,”
Texas coach Fred Akers said.
“We build our football team
around our defense. ”
Unlike Oklahoma, which did
not pose a passing threat last
week, the Texas coach said
Arkansas could present some
problems with its aerial attack.
Arkansas quarterback Tom
Jones “has the ability to throw
the long ball which is particular
ly dangerous when we re having
to pin everyone down trying to
stop their running game,” Ak
ers said.
“Billy Ray Smith is a handful
for anybody,” Akers said. “He’s
one of the top football players
anywhere around. Billy Ray is
extremely talented, but he’s
certainly not the only one.”
Kickoff in Saturday’s region
ally televised game is set for
2:45 p.m.

If you’re wondering if last year’s game with
the Baylor Bears will have an effect on the
team’s performance wonder no more.
The 46-7 thrashing the Aggies suffered last
year at the hands of the Bears still lingers in the
minds of the players and coaches involved in
the massacre.
“We remember last year like it was yester
day. Those things are hard to forget,” head
coach Tom Wilson said.
A lot of people want to forget last season,
and perhaps, rightfully so. However, the play
ers involved in the Baylor game have several
reasons not to forget that particular game — 46
reasons to be exact.
“I vaguely remember it, if I remember it at
all,” senior linebacker Mike Little said
laughing. “There’s not a whole lot to say about
the game — it was a disaster.
“I would like to beat them by 50 or 100
points if our offense will do that for us. ”
Little echos the sentiments of more than a
few of the players.
“We’ve got a lot to make up for. Last year
was real frustrating for us,” senior offensive
guard Kent Adams said.
Several of the players mentioned the fact
that after the score was already 46-7 last year
that Baylor threw deep in order to run up the
game. They were trying to turn the scoreboard
over on us.”
Farrar mentioned that on first-and-ten late
in the game Baylor went for all the marbles
trying to run up the score. Something several
of the players didn’t like at all.
“They still threw deep (late in the game).
We’re not going to forget that. We think we
owe them something,” senior split end Mike
Whitwell said.
“We’re at the same point they were last year
and they’re at the same point we were. We’re
going to beat them.”
“It was my first start,” junior safety Jeff Far
rar said. “They took a lot of the goodness out of
it. We’ve got some hard feelings about that
Whitwell said that the game is crucial for the
Aggies and a win would leave them in the
driver’s seat and controlling their own destiny.
Junior placekicker David Hardy
“I’m more interested in winning the
don’t know if it’s (last year’s game)
make that much difference in it. Lasty
kind of humiliating all the way aroum
year things are turned around.”
Hardy said that if the Ags are playia
that they’ll score enough to win, buli
be close.
“I do want to win bad. We havenl
them in three years. But there aren’t
be any easy games all year. They are
to be close.
“We know it’s going to be a dogfig
have to play as good as we did Sal
win,” junior linebacker Bobby Stroga
“It’s time for us to beat them. Ira
losing. We’ve got a lot of stuff to
from last year.”
The Aggies haven’t beaten the
1977 when they ran off to a big leadht
hold on for dear life to win 38-31 ii
Since then the Bears have beaten the
24-6, 17-7 and 46-7.
After talking to some of the pla;
obvious that they have a burning desi
Baylor.
Perhaps, the sentiments of the team
summed up with Farrar’s ambitions!
Bears: “I hope we beat the #$(M
them!”
If revenge could be a deciding facto
game look for the Aggies in a ruoM
