Four of six previous SWC meetings have been decided by a TD or less and usually with sad consequences for the loser — Arkansas victory in ’76 cost UH out right championship, UH victory in ’78 cost Arkan sas title share and UH victory in ’79 cost Arkansas outright title as teams were co-champs. Razor- backs lead nation in scoring defense at 6.2 points yielded per game after shutting out TCU and allowing Texas Tech only three points. Billy Ray Smith leads Arkansas defense as one of premier linemen in nation, while Cougar offense getting stronger each week with the return of QB Lionel Wilson, hurt earlier in the season. Cougars stayed with No. 4 SMU last week, losing 20-14 as Mus tangs held ball last five minutes. Arkansas leads SWC in both offense (404.4 yards a game) and defense (236.4) and has allowed an average of only 72.8 yards rushing per game. Cougars pace SWC and fifth in nation in pass defense with yield of 122.8 yards per game. Game claims four on SWC’s top nine rushers — No. 5 Dallas Wiggins (86 yards per game) and No. 6 Dwyane Love (85.7) of UH, and No. 7 Darryl Bowles (76.6) and No. 9 Jesse Clark (66.2) of Arkansas. BAYLOR (2-3-1, 1-2-1 in SWC) at TCU (2-4, 1-2 in SWC), 2 p.m. — Both teams need to re bound from losses last week, Baylor coming from 25 points behind Texas A&M to score 20 points in last 25 minutes. Frogs dropped non-conference game to Mississippi despite QB Reuben Jones throwing for season-best 252 yards on 17 comple tions. Six were to Stanley Washington, who’s just 18 yards shy of becoming the sixth player in SWC history to field 2,000 yards in receptions. With six more receptions (he has 114), Washington will jump from ninth to sixth on the all-time reception list. Baylor QB Mike Brannan listed as very doubt ful, still nursing hamstring injury, and David Mangrum scheduled for third start with Tom Muecke listed second. Frogs have won two straight home games this year; three straight would be first time since 1971. Baylor fifth in SWC rushing and boasts two of top 10 league rushers in Alfred Anderson (third, 88.5) and Allen Rice (eighth, 68.8). TCU’s Marcus Gilbert is 10th (55.3). Frogs’ passing history not evident this year, as they throw just 20 times per game to Baylor’s 25. Nearly half of the Bears’ 62 comple tions have gone to Gerald McNeil, who has 26 receptions (third in SWC). SMU (6-0, 3-0 in SWC) at TEXAS (3-1, 1-0 in SWC), 2:50 p.m., ABC-TV — SMU risks longest winning streak in nation (10 games) against last team to defeat Mustangs. The last defeat for SMU came last Oct. 24 as Texas won 9-7 on three Raul Allegre field goals. That was also SMU’s only loss in the last 17 games. SMU this week moved up to fourth in both AP and UPI polls, while Texas stands 15th in UPI and 19th in AP after first loss of season to Oklahoma two weeks ago. Longhorn defense held impressive SMU rushing attack to 78 yards in 1981, but Texas allowed 384 in losing to the Sooners two weeks ago. Mustangs’ Eric Dick erson Saturday became the first SWC rusher ever to go over 1,000 yards this early in a season by totaling a career-high 241 yards against Houston for a season average of 166.8 yards a game. Dick erson now ranks second in SWC career yardage (3,834) and fellow tailback Craig James is fifth with 3,321. Dickerson is second in national rushing and James fourth in national punting (46.1-yard average). Game matches three of SWC’s top four rushers, with Texas’ Darryl Clark ranked second this year at 95.7 yards per game and James fourth at 86.2. SMU and UT rank second and third, respectively, in both SWC offense and defense, with their offenses at 390 and 383 yards a game and defenses at 260 and 291. Despite high-geared ground attack, Mus tangs have scored six of last 10 touchdowns on passes, while Texas is No. 2 in SWC pass defense at 127.5 yards a game in allowing only two passing touchdowns. Texas holds 37-20-4 all-time series lead (36-20-4 in SWC play) and 19-10-2 Austin advantage after winning 14 of last 15 games there. —GET ACQUAINTED COUPON—-* 5% Off Art & Framing • Posters • Limited Edition Prints • Original Art • Cus tom Framing • Class • Mats • Over 300 Mouldings Starting at $1.40 Ft.-$6.95.
