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."

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

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. Sophi
Nathan Steadman, whohassm
sonje restricted playing tinietfc
hind Dausin, will probablvl*
Dausin’s successor.

Even if the Aggies are on their
way to sunnier days, Sherrill said
he’s disappointed his team didn’t
have a better year since manv
Aggie supporters probably ex
pected a better record for Tex
as A&M.
“1 don’t think they (fans) ex
