Homs (continued from page 11) little bit, but it was really a pretty good throw. I was just glad it came down so I could get it arid get going.” “On their first drive,” DeAya- la said, “they (the Aggies) mixed it up well and had some success. But I knew it was just a matter of time before we settled down. And af ter we got ahead, it took them out ol their game plan." Clark said the pass plav was definitely the turning point. “I think that play made A&M realize that it was us who was going to win the game," he said. And if that play wasn’t con vincing enough, the Aggies should have gotten the message soon after. The Longhorn onslaught was matched only by Texas A&M s bad breaks — both real and imagined. Bad field position plagued the Aggies throughout the game, but it was never more evident than in the first quarter, when Texas had two TD drives that started at the Aggie 35, and one drive that followed a 28-yard punt into the wind by Aggie punter Kyle Stuard. The of ficials threw 28 flags in the contest, and although only 19 of the penalties were accept ed, the Aggies appeared to get the better of the deal. Texas A&M was penalized six times for 55 yards and the ’Horns were penalized 13 times for 1(K) yards. But like the rest of the afternoon, something that could have spelled trouble for the Longhorns turned out to read disaster for the Aggies. Texas A&M’s penalties alwavs seemed to come at a time when they could least afford them, while Texas chugged along un harassed. Longhorn coach Fred Akers was obviously pleased with his team’s performance in the their tune-up to the Dec. 4 showdown with Arkansas in Austin. But Akers said the momentum turn around in the first quarter changed the game completely. M think the impact of that one play (the pass to Walls) was certainly significant,” Akers said. “Anytime something big like that happens early in a football game, it's a shot in the arm for your team. “1 thought they (the Aggies) would be awfully high, and they were, but we just got the better of them." by Fn ANCHC lany pen Texas A&M runningback Johnny Hector tries to recov er his own fumble in first quarter action of the Texas- Texas A&M football game on Thanksgiving day.

Lopez Battalion Staff For the past few years instead of Cirace, lots of Aggies have been saying “wait ‘till next year’” around their Thanksgiving tables. This year was probably no exception with the shellack ing the Longhorns handed the Aggies Thursday, but perhaps next year the wishful thinking will begin to pay dividends. With the Aggies losing this season’s entire starting backfleld to graduation, one would think next year would be just another fair to mediocre season for the Aggies. But with a strong re cruiting year for Coach Jackie Sherrill and a productive spring training for this season’s under classmen, maybe more Aggies will be able to digest their food llFGoodrich BRAZOS TIRE SERVICE AN AGGIE OWNED BUSINESS SINCE 1952 J.

University next Thanksgiving. So here goes a pre-pre-season look at the 1983-84 Aggies. On defense, the Aggies will have eight returning players, but the players that return need to have productive spring prac tices since the Aggies’ defense finished dead last in the South west Conference this year. Key players should be Ray Childress and Keith Guthrie at tackle and Billy Cannon and Domingo Bryant at safety while the biggest question mark will be at defensive end where both starters Jon van Sant and Paul Pender are leaving. On offense, the only hole to be filled on the line is at left tack le where Bryan Dausin is vacat ing the position he has M down for two years.
