know.’ I guess I was more or less
feeling sorry for myself, and he
told me, ‘You can sit there at
home and gripe about what hap
pened to you, or you can turn
around and get back up here
and prove to people what you’re
capable of doing.’
That’s always stuck in my
mind. I got in my car that day
and I drove up here, and ever
since that day I made up my
mind that I was going to work
my butt off and prove to people
that I could play and that I could
be a leader on the field. I guess
that’s what kept me going the
past two years and more or less
turned my football career
around and got me back on the
right foot.
It happens to a lot of athletes,
especially in college. Everybody
that comes here is a stud out of
high school — used to getting
the good treatment — and then
all the sudden there’s going to be
somebody better than you. And
if you don’t have enough inside
of you to keep working until
your turn comes to play, your
going to end up falling off the
wayside.
Q. What was your most
memorable moment as a quar
terback at Texas A&M?
A. There’s not really a parti
cular one. We had the days when
we threw six touchdowns, and
those will always be remem
bered. I feel like I was a part of
the turn-around when Coach
Sherrill came in. I see the direc
tion that the program is head
ing, and knowing that I was a
senior the year that it kind of
started, that means something to
me. And I think being a part of
Coach Sherrill and the great
coaching staff he’s assembled
here has been more of a high
light to me than anything I’ve
ever done on the football field.
I do have one regret that I’ll
always have. I’ve always
dreamed of playing Texas on a
Thanksgiving day for the right
to go to the Cotton Bowl.
Q. If you had picked another
school — one with a pass-
oriented team at that time — do
you think you would have been
more visible to the pro scouts
by now?
A. Whether it would’ve hap
pened or not, we’ll never know.
But if I had it to do over again,
I’d do the same thing, because I
got a quality education, and
playing for Coach (Tom) Wilson
and getting a chance to play for
Jackie Sherrill for one year has
done more for me than maybe
any other school could have
done.
A year ago I would never have
dreamed I was going to get a
chance to be in Hawaii playing in
tbe Hula Bowl and in the Blue-
Oray game. And I think that had
a lot to do with Coach Sherrill’s
influence.
Q. How much importance do
you place on playing pro ball?
A. I never have counted on it.

Shula, noted as a disciplinarian,
ftressed the lighter side of Super
rowl week.
ip “The important thing is the
players enjoy it and not get up
right about it,” Shula said. “We
have a lot of young players who
haven’t experienced the in-
Kased media attention. I told
[hem to try and give as much
tne as they can to the media
Jthout letting it take their
Jj attention away from the game.”
■ The NFC champions, with
Korge Allen at the helm, lost to
’ iami 14-7 in Super Bowl VII as
e Dolphins completed the only
feet season in NFL history.
J|is season, with Joe Gibbs a
cohsensus choice as Coach of the
Vear, the Redskins have lost just
once in 12 games and enter Sun-
piy’s matchup in the Rose Bowl
with seven straight victories —
-n-^and underdog status.
The Dolphins, 10-2, have
iC l| en established as 3-point favo-
rites behind their “Killer Bee”
defense that blanked the New
York Jets, 14-0, in the confer-
nre championship game.
“We’re one of the best de
fenses in the NFL and it’s a
shame we haven’t gotten the cre
dit we’re due,” says linebacker
A.J. Duhe, who intercepted
three Richard Todd passes, re
turning one for a 35-yard score.
“Maybe we’ll be noticed after we
win the Super Bowl.”
The Redskins like to link
themselves to the, Rodney
Dangerfield “No Respect” im
age, too.
“Other people can make deci
sions on how good we are,”
Gibbs says. “I’d be kidding if I
said we didn’t feel slighted so
far.”
Washington ranked second
to Miami in total yardage
allowed, but the Redskins
actually yielded fewer points
than Miami during the regular
season and they shut down the
Dallas attack Saturday in a 31 -17
triumph in the NFC title game.
The victory was a typical one
for the Redskins, in which John
Riggins bulled for 140 yards,
special teams set up two touch
downs and the defense applied
the clincher with consecutive
fourth-quarter interceptions.
“We did what we had to do to
win,” says center Jeff Bostic.
