Stakes high in Ag-Frog game|
By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Spoi ls Editor
Coach Tom Wilson faces a cri
tical situation this weekend when
5-4 Texas Aggies face the 3-6-1
TCU Homed Frogs.
At stake is more than a possible
|»wl bid. If the Aggies win, they
in all liklihood head for
iveport, La., Dec. 12 for the
Independence Bowl.
Abowl trip will help the football
program tremendously Wilson
ays: “1 think that is so important
because so many of the younger
players have not gone to a howl.
Hieyneed to understand what it is
ill about. ’
Wilson said he feels that the
seniors have been let down by not
achieving their preseason goal of
(he Cotton Bowl, hut added that
all the hard work each one
has put in they do deserve some
land of bid.
The Aggies have a senior squad
itissecond to none, he said, and
ing it will definitely hurt the
team. The seniors started the
hew optimism that is character-
isticofthe team and have passed it
down to the lowerclassinen.
“Next year we re going to he a
title contender. There’s no doubt
about that,’ he said. “A howl game
Id help build the optimism of
cam. Particularly, one such as
ours, which realizes how few play
ers we will he losing.
Winning Saturday’s game is
much more important to the Texas
McM football program than a
howl im itation.
Providing the team wins, Wil
son will likely receive an extension
on his contract. His current con
tract expires at the end of the 1982
football season.
IftheAgsdon t win, his contract
may likely he bought by some
prominent people, and he would
he sent packing. However, some
people think that win or lose, Wil
son could step down.
Wilson dismissed the specula
tion of his removal and said that
the TCU game is the only thing on
his mind. The Frogs and Aggies
have traditionally played some of
most competitive games in confer
ence history.
TCU has built its team around
the passing arm of Steve Stamp,
of the top passers in the na-
llowever. Stamp went down
a few weeks ago with an injury,
ending his collegiate career.
Since then Reuben Jones has
taken over the quarterback posi
tion and done remarkably well.
“1 think everyone thought they
would he down after losing
Stamp, Wilson said. “But that
isn’tso. Jones has come in and has
done about as well.
TCU leads the SWC in passing
with a game average of 265 yards.
Surprisingly, Texas A6cM is
second with a 181 yard average.
Jones favorite receivers are
split end Stanley Washington and
Hanker Phillip Epps. Washington
leads the team and conference
with 49 catches and six touch
downs. Jones has also been known
to use his backs as well, though.
Fullback Kevin Haney is the
Frogs’ second leading receiver,
while running hack Marcus Gil
bert is third.
Wilson said that the Frog re
ceivers have great speed as well as
good hands.
“They have a lot of receivers
who can get open, ” he said. “Their
skill people are very dangerous.”
TCU doesn’t have a rushing
game to speak of, averaging only
72 yards per game, but its passing
attack more than makes up for
that.
“I think they are capable of run
ning hut they don’t try it very
much, Wilson said.
To compensate for the wide-
open TCU passing attack, Wilson
said, the Aggie defense will have
to adjust, meaning that extra de
fensive hacks will he brought in
during long-yardage situations.
“The weakest thing that we
have done is defending against the
pass. So our coverage is going to
he important,” Wilson said.
“As many receivers as they can
send out, they are going to have
someone open. Our front four
have got to have an outstanding
game. They will probably play the
most important part in the game
for us.
"It’s hard to find an open receiv
er when you’ve got somebody
breathing down your neck.”
The Aggie pass defense is rank
ed eighth in the SWC, giving up
over 200 yards a game, hut fourth
against the rush with a 126-yard
average.
TCU, meanwhile, is eighth
against the run at 214 yards a game
and fourth against the pass, with
162 yards a game.
The Frogs have solidified their
defense with junior college trans
fers like tackle Greg Townsend,
linebacker Joe Hines and corner-
hack Anthony Allen.
The Aggies are third in total
offense, averaging 383 yards per
game. If that pace keeps up for the
remaining two games the 1981
team could he the most produc
tive in the school’s history.
Quarterback Gary Kubiak is
largely responsible for that.
The junior is second individual
ly in total offense in the confer
ence with a 203-yard average.
Wilson credits much of
Kubiak’s success to his ability to
find the open receiver. “He’s got
great peripheral vision, so he can
see the open man. He’s been pas
sing extremely well. Plus we have
two or three of the finest receivers
in the conference, so that helps.
The Aggies have the unusual
task of preparing for two games in
six days, as they return to Kyle
Field Thursday for the annual
clash with the Texas Longhorns.
This year marks the resumption of
the traditional Thanksgiving Day
