‘bowl game’
by Bob Caster
Battalion Staff
The Aggies are spending
the week gearing up for their
bowl game — which happens
to be at Kyle Field this Satur
day against the University of
Texas. It may not be a bona
fide bowl game, but the
Aggies are planning to play it
with no less intensity than if it
were.

A&M coach Jackie Sherrill said
UT, the Aggies’ next opponent,
has a defense so good ‘they ought
to play on Sundays’.
Aggie coach Jackie Sherrill, in
his weekly press conference
Monday, said this week’s game
is one they “can’t help from
looking ahead to.”
“There is no question that
the Texas game will be our
biggest game of the year,” he
said. “It’s our last game, we’re
at home and we’ll be playing
before what will probably be a
record crowd.”
He said bleachers will be
placed in the south end zone
and seats will most likely be
placed on the track.
If the Aggies play against
the Horns the way they played
in their 20-10 victory over
TCU, then those extra seats
may just be empty by the end
of the game Saturday.
Quarterback Kevin Murray
had a not-so-hot afternoon as
he took charge of the Aggies
in a penalty-prone game that
found the offense dodging
penalty flags almost as often as
they dodged the Horned Frog
defense.
“The penalties caused an
awful lot of inconsistency in
the offense,” Sherrill said.
“We would get one and then
get another and that can’t
happen in a game or it will
beat you. I don’t think we’ve
had a lack of concentration in
practice but we can’t look at
things like officials do because
we’re not officials.”
And officials are something
Sherrill hasn’t seemed to have
much luck with since the
Baylor game. But he claims he
has had no problems with
them.
“The coaches don’t have
anything to do with the offi
ciating,” he said. “I don’t have
any problem with any of them.
They’ve given a good effort
but they can make mistakes
just like coaches. Some things
that I have said have been
taken out of context.”
But regardless of who offi
ciates Saturday’s game, the
Aggies’ No. 1 enemies won’t
be wearing black and white
but orange and white and
they’ll be out to cap off an un-

en they opened a 28-14
vantage late in the third
rter.
fBut Richard Todd en
tered two Jets’ drives that re
ted in 10 points and Springs
|en stunned the sellout
uisiana Superdome crowd
:h his sprint up the middle
t carried the Jets to only their
:ond win in their last seven
es and left the Saints 0-6 on
nday night.
Morten Andersen missed a
yard field goal attempt for
Saints with 14 seconds left
^t could have sent the game
0 overtime. The kick had the
punter Russell Erxleben at the
Saints’ 35 before speeding into
the end zone — where he was
mobbed by teammates.
The Jets, 5-7, closed their de
ficit to 28-24 on an 11-yarcl pass
from Richard Todd to Jerome
Barkum with 4:20 remaining,
capping an 80-yard march in
which Todd twice overcame
long yardage situations.
On the first play of the drive,
Todd was sacked for a 9-yard
loss and then, after getting the
ball down to the New Orleans
27, the Jets were called for hold
ing on first down. But Todd
fought back from that setback by
scrambling and hitting Lam
Jones with a 26-yarder down tcJ
the Saints’ 1 1 before finding
Barkum.
Pat Leahy kicked a 37-yard
field goal on the third play of the
fourth quarter to pull New York
within 28-17.
The clutch passing of old pro
Ken Stabler and the unexpected
speed of fullback Hokie Gajan
had given the Saints a two-
touchdown advantage.
Stabler, forced to sit out two
games with damaged ribs, threw
an interception on his first pass,
which was returned 34 yards for
a touchdown by linebacker
Lance Mehl.

Scott.
The Saints’ running game
then took over, with Gajan and
George Rogers combining to
wear down the Jets’ defense.
Rogers scored New Orleans’
first touchdown on a 14-yard
run following an interception by
Russell Gary on Todd’s first pass
and after the Jets tied it on
Mehl’s interception return.
Stabler hit Brenner to boost the
Saints in front again.
A 1-yard scoring run by sel
dom-used Marion Barber in the
second quarter allowed the Jets
to tie the game at intermission,
14-14.
New Orleans assumed con
trol in the third quarter with
scoring runs of 1 yard by Wayne
Wilson and 2 yards by Rogers.
Rogers’ touchdown, which
came with 4:39 left in the third
quarter, was set up by a 58-yard
run by Gajan.

NEW YORK — A week off
certainly didn’t hurt Nebraska’s
rating in the UPI Coaches’ col
lege football ratings. The Cor-
nhuskers, top-rated since pre
season, are one win away from a
perfect regular season and they
remain one vote away from
being a unanimous choice as No.
1.
The first nine teams held
their rankings in latest balloting
by the UPI Board of Coaches as
three of the top five teams and
seven ranked teams were idle
last weekend.
Nebraska, 11-0, received 39
of a possible 40 votes and 599
points from the UPI Board of
Coaches. Texas, 10-0 after a 24-
21 win over No. 19 Baylor, re
mained second by getting the
other first place vote and 549
overall points.
Rounding out the top 10 are
No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Miami
(Fla.), No. 5 Illinois, No. 6
Southern Methodist, No. 7
Georgia, No. 8 Michigan, No. 9
Brigham Young and No. 10
Iowa.
Iowa moved into the top 10
after blowing out Minnesota 61-
10, while Ohio State lost to
Michigan 24-21 and fell from
10th to 13th.
Completing the rankings are
No. 11 Florida, No. 12 Alabama,
No. 14 Pittsburgh, No. 15 Bos
ton College, No. 16 Oklahoma,
No. 17 Maryland, No. 18 Air
Force, No. 19 Baylor and No. 20
Virginia Tech.
Oklahoma and Virginia Tech
are the only ranked teams not
scheduled for a bowl appear
ance. The Sooners can’t go to the
Orange Bowl even if they beat
Nebraska Saturday and decided
against going to a minor bowl.
Virginia Tech cracked the
ratings for the first time this sea
son after finishing 9-2 with a 48-
0 whipping of Virginia. The
Hokies were under considera
tion for the Liberty Bowl until- “
Notre Dame finally accepted its £
invitation Monday.
Air Force, after a 23-22 win ^
over Notre Dame, is 8-2 and also ^
ranked for the first time this-"
year with one game left.
Maryland, 8-3, rejoined the '
ratings by snapping a two-game •
losing streak with a 22-6 win ^
over North Carolina State.
Washington, West Virginia ;
and Missouri fell from the rank
ings after upset losses to unrank-,
ed opponents. Washington, pre 1 '
viously 14th, fell 17-6 to/
Washington State and was
knocked out of the Rose Bowl;
previously 15th-ranked West
Virginia lost 27-16 to Syracuse
and previously 17th-ranked
Missouri was knocked off bv-
Kansas 37-27.
Alabama, Boston College and
Oklahoma each climbed four ‘
spots in the rankings. Alabama \
and Oklahoma were idle, and j
Boston College crushed Holy :
Cross 47-7.
Pittsburgh slipped one spotJ
after a 24-24 tie against Penn-^;
State and Baylor dropped one ^
place after its loss to Texas. ‘ «
In bowl matchups, No. 1 Neb-*
raska meets No. 4 Miami in the*
Orange Bowl, No. 2 Texas ana*

of 38 yards and set up another
score early in the third period
