secondary, who will be fighting
their own battle against one of
the best backfields in the south
west conference. Baylor has two
great backs with Alfred Ander
son and Allen Rice, who both
run wide and fast.
The Aggies have enough
problems of their own to worry
about. But, even with injuries,
lack of depth and experience,
and the loss of players due to
personal conflicts with Sherrill,
the Aggies could still prevail in
the final score.
Baylor’s playing squad has
been plagued severely by in
juries.
Teaff admitted that their
kicking and special teams, which
have been some of the best seen
in past years, sorely lack talent
and continuity this year.
Though Baylor’s shortcom
ings could be useful in the game,
A&M won’t depend upon their
mistakes to win.
Kevin Murray debuted last
week with 217 yards passing and
39 yards rushing. Sherrill said
Murray would be starting at
quarterback again this week and
that John Mazur would give the
Aggies depth in that position.
The two halfbacks, Rod Bern-
stine and Keith Woodside, will
be shuffled in and out through
out the game. Sherrill said
Woodside has worked himself
into a starting position, hut is
suffering from a minor injury.
Running back, George Smith,
who rushed for 56 yards up the
middle last week should add to
the A&M ground play.
Billy Cannon will be return
ing to game play in the game this
week according to Sherrill. Can
non, who sustained an ankle in
jury in the game against Texas
Tech, is an explosive player for
A&M.
Also, the Aggies have two
strong safeties that are fighting
for a starting position this week.
Domingo Bryant and Ken Ford
both follow the ball well and
make the big plays.
Sherrill feels the biggest im
provement on the team overall is
in the linebackers. The defense
is starting to chase the ball and
make the turnovers “happen.”
Sherrill, who has played 30
young players in the past few
games, feels the team is learning
what it takes to work together as
a unit to win. The team is more
balanced with the offense finally
reaching that crucial part of the
turf: the end zone.
Sherrill said the team has a
long way to go, but hopes that
the Houston game was the turn
ing point in the season for the
Aggies.

The Texas A&M volleyball
team hasn’t been overpowering,
but it’s been getting thejob done
when it comes to posting wins.
And Monday in Lubbock
when the Aggies challenged
Texas Tech, the team again
didn’t play picture-book vol
leyball, but the end result was
another Texas A&M win.
The Aggies defeated the Red
Raiders 15-11, 15-9, 15-8 to im
prove their record to 2-1 in con
ference and 13-14 for the year.
But more important, the Aggies
moved into second place in con
ference behind the Texas Lon
ghorns after taking the match.
Condon added, however, that Regardless of the fatigue fac-
the Aggies’ recent long practice tor, the Aggies’ only conference
sessions are helping Texas A&M
overcome its inconsistent play.
“I they’ve (tough practices)
been helping a lot,” she said. “I
think it makes the players realize
that they can do things when
they’re tired. That’s where our
problem has been — we haven’t
been disciplined when we get
fatigued. We’ve been making
mistakes.”
loss has been to the overpower
ing Longhorns. And Condon
said even that could change the
next time Texas A&M plays UT.
“If we start playing the way
we’d like to, I think we could be
8-1 when we meet Texas,” Con
don said. “And it (SWC cham
pionship) will come down to that
match and we’ll be playing them
at home so you never know.”
n college. It
chusetts a
two weeks. The Cornhuskers
lost some ground after their
closest win of the season — a 14-
10 decision over Oklahoma
State — improved their record
to 6-0. Texas scored an impress
ive 28-16 victory over Oklahoma
to gain some first-place support.
Longhorns Coach Fred Ak
ers thinks it’s too early to worry
about catching Nebraska.
Rounding out the Top 20 are
No. 6 Georgia, No. 7 Ohio State,
No. 8 Auburn, No. 9 Southern
Methodist, No. 10 Alabama, No.
11 Michigan, No. 12 Miami, No.
13 Iowa, No. 14 Illinois, No. 15
Maryland, No. 16 Arizona State,
No. 17 Oklahoma, No. 18
Washington, No. 19 Brigham
Young and No. 20 Oklahoma
State.
Three ranked teams lost last
week, but the same 20 schools
remained rated. Alabama fell
from third after bowing to un
ranked Penn State and Oklaho
ma tumbled from seventh after
losing to Texas. Oklahoma Stale
held onto its 20th spot after fall
ing to Nebraska.
Southern Methodist vaulted
three places with a 42-26 victory
over Baylor and Illinois jumped
three spots after a 27-15 win
over Wisconsin. Georgia (36-11
over Mississippi), Ohio State
(33-22 over Purdue), Auburn
(49-21 over previously unbeaten
Kentucky) and Michigan (42-0
over Michigan State) each
moved up two notches.
North Carolina (30-10 over
Wake Forest), West Virginia
(idle), Florida (29-10 over Van
derbilt) and Iowa (61-21 over
Northwestern) all gained a spot,
while Miami (42-14 over Louis
ville) and Maryland (34-13 over
Syracuse) dropped a notch.
Nebraska, Fexas, North
Carolina, West Virginia and
SMU are the only undefeated
and untied Division I-A schools
in the country.
In games between ranked
teams Saturday, Illinois hosts
Ohio Stale and Oklahoma Slate
hosts Oklahoma.
Aggies’ head coach Terry
Condon said that even though
she’s pleased that Texas A&M is
in the thick of the conference
race, the Aggies have a long way
to go before they’ll be able to
compete with the Horns.
“It wasn’t a very good vol
leyball match,” Condon said,
“but it was a win and I’ll take it.
We didn’t play very well, but
luckily they didn’t play any
better.
“We just still don’t have that
put away punch.”
