sustaining a mild sprain to his

should be ready for the Aggies’
game in two weeks against the
University of Texas-Arlington.
In realistic tone, Sherrill
seemed to hint that the media
and Aggie followers might have
expected too much from the
team in its opener under an en
tirely new coaching staff.
“No one said it’d be easy,” he
said. “I’ve been there before.
The last eight months have been
very, very hectic. There are an
awful lot of things that we’ve
accomplished during that time,
but like I’ve told the players,
you’ve got to learn how to lose
before you can learn how to
win.”
And, Sherrill emphasized, the
Aggies will not allow themselves
to fall apart after only one loss.
“That will not happen,” he
said. “I’ve been there before. It
would be awfully easy for me to
... say we have no football team
or program, but I’m not going to
do that. We lost because we
didn’t do a good job.
“We will not be a poor football
team. This is something that
they will remember. We put
ourselves in some bad situations
... quite a few times and put
ourselves in some bad situations
in the secondary.
“We played too much man de
fense. When you play man,
you’ve got to get to the quarter
back, but you’ve also got to cover
the people.”

assistants should learn from the
season-opening defeat.
“You win with class the same
as you lose with class,” Sherrill
said. “If you understand why
and how you lost, and how to
correct it, then you’re going in
the right direction. The players
were ready to play, but we just
gave (Boston College) some
things that we shouldn’t have.”
Quarterback Gary Kubiak,
who had to be helped off the
field after a third-quarter sack
by defensive end Russ Joyner,
said the Eagles surprised him
with their anticipation of the
Aggies’ offensive manuevers.
“They seemed to be know
more about what we were going
to do than we knew about what
they were going to do,” he said.
“We’ve had a lot of attention,
and it would be easy to say it
distracted us, but I really feel
that we’ve worked harder than
we ever have.
“I don’t think anybody could
have told me that we were going
to go out there and get beat like
that. But we’ve got 10 other ball-
games to play this season, so we
can’t let one like (this) kill us.”
Defensive tackle Keith
Guthrie, who finished the night
with only one tackle, said the
Aggies faced a talented team
that was more than ready to
play.
“Flutie’s a real good player,”
he said, “and Boston College has
a real good team. A lot of polls
have us picked between 10 and
13 in the country, but we didn’t
go out there with that on our
minds. People are going to be
after us because we’ve got some
thing to play for. At times we
played well, and at times we
sputtered.”
Sputtering or not, the Aggies
did manage to outdo the Eagles
24-22 in the first down depart
ment, with Kubiak completing
23 of 43 passes for 260 yards and
one touchdown. His longest pass
of the night went for 22 yards to
sophomore split end Jimmy
Teal, who led Texas A&M with
'five receptions for 81 yards.
Sherrill, utilizing fullback
j George Smith after the injury to
I Jackson, watched the freshman
! rush for 41 yards on four carries
and catch two passes for 13
| yards.

If the Atlanta Braves should
happen to roll over and die in
the last month of the season, a
proper epitaph would read:
“They died with their boots in
place.”
A lack of defense in the
clutch, especially at shortstop,
has hurt the Braves considerably
in their second half of the season
drop from what was once a lofty
perch atop the National League
West standings.
Shortstop Rafael Ramirez,
who seems to fold up under
pressure faster than an accor
dion, booted a ground ball by
Gary Carter with two out in the
ninth inning Sunday to ruin a
combined one-hit performance
by Rick Mahler and Gene Gar
ber and allow the Montreal Ex
pos to score a 2-1 victory.
Ramirez’s error, his second of
the game and 31st of the season,
enabled Andre Dawson to score
from third with the winning
run. With one out in the ninth,
Dawson was hit by a pitch
thrown by Garber, 6-8, then
stole second and moved to third
when A1 Oliver grounded out.
Carter then followed with his
grounder to short which
Ramirez booted. Ramirez pick
ed up the ball and made a strong
throw to first base but Carter
was called safe by first base
umpire Satch Davidson.
Atlanta first baseman Chris
Chambliss did not think Carter
was safe.
“It was a close play and it
should have ended the inning,”
said Chambliss. “But I figure he
(Davidson) had made up his
mind 10 seconds earlier that no
matter what happened Carter
would be safe.”
Montreal’s only hit was a
second-inning homer by Oliver,
his 20th, and the Expos’ mana
ger couldn’t remember a Mon
treal team ever winning a game
in which it got only one hit.
“That’s an unusual way to win
and, I am not sure, but this could
