NEW YORK — Pittsburgh
Coach Foge Fazio is not taking
anything for granted.
“Everybody around here
knows they (West Virginia) have
better material than we do,” said
Fazio Monday after his Panthers
again narrowly maintained their
No. 1 ranking. Pitt plays 14th-
rated West Virginia Saturday.
“I’m really worried about this
game. It’s our first home game
at Pitt Stadium and we’re play
ing, in my opinion, one of the
top 10 teams in the country.
We’ve got to increase our inten
sity for this game because emo-

Pittsburgh, coming off a 20-3
victory at Illinois, collected 19
first-place votes and 586 points
from the 42 members of the UPI
Board of Coaches while
Washington, a 37-21 winner
over Oregon, received 18 first-
place votes and 583 points.
Washington slipped ahead of
Nebraska into the No. 2 posi
tion, just three points behind the
Panthers.
Penn State, with its dramatic
27-24 victory over Nebraska last
week, moved up two places to
No. 3 with three first-place votes
and 524 points. With the loss,
Nebraska tumbled to No. 8.
Alabama, which nipped Van
derbilt 24-21, held onto its No. 4
rating and was followed by two
of its Southeastern Conference
rivals, No. 5 Florida and No. 6
Georgia.
Rounding out the Top 10 are
No. 7 SMU, Nebraska, No. 9

The Aggies’ poor defensive
showing against Matt Dunigan’s
passing might have been attri
butable to a lack of intensity
against a non-SWC team, Sher
rill said.
“We did some good things in
the second quarter,” he said.
“But in the third and fourth
quarters, we just kind of went
through the motions.
“The whole student body and
L
>X<
fans were not reacting the way
they would if we were playing a
Southwest Conference team. I
think the intensity will be much
greater against Texas Tech.”
Offensive tackle Tommy
Robison was named the offen
sive player of the game and de
fensive end Paul Pender re
ceived an effort rating of 97 per
cent for the Louisiana Tech
game.
As for Texas Tech, Sherrill
said the Aggies will have to be
well-prepared. The Red Raiders
opened their SWC schedule by
losing to Baylor 24-23 Saturday.
If that score sounds familiar,
Texas A&M narrowly defeated
Texas Tech by the same one-
point margin in 1981, erasing a
23-10 third-quarter deficit. San
ders and Hector scored late
touchdowns to win the game for
the Aggies. Red Raider I-back
Anthony Hutchison carried 14
times for 67 yards.
In Texas Tech, Texas
will face a defense that featiiif
an odd-man front basedonaj fense,
alignment.
“People have thrown andtu
against them,” Sherrill sai:
“Baylor did both.”
In assessing his team’s jr
formance thus far, Texas It;
coach Jerry Moore said
have been inconsistencies
“We really didn’t play tb
well against New Mexico (losq
14-0),” Moore said in a lotj
distance telephone hooku]
Monday’s conference. "Wei
a very young squad withonl
total seniors, and that’s just!;,
out the way we played agai;
New Mexico.
“Then we came back a
played real well against Ji
Force (winning 31-30), II
should have beaten Baylor,k
they were able to hold on
win.”

Ranger Manager Darrell Johnson said Smithson, who madettj
major league debut Aug. 27, has a good future with Texas.
“In his last seven starts, he has had maybe one bad out!
Johnson said. “He is really a bright spot and sorely needed,
ring anything like an injury, I don’t see any way that he won’tbctl
the five-man rotation next spring. He is a definite.”
