Iowa State’s $6 billion man
becomes invisible receiver

Aggie defensive end Ray Childress sets his sights on ISU quarterback Alex Espinoza.
By ED CASSAVOY
Sports Editor
Iowa State wide receiver Tracy
Henderson came into Saturday’s
game billed as the six billion dollar
man. He would do everything but
kick field goals.
But as the final seconds ticked off
the clock Henderson could best be
described as the invisible man.
Iowa State came in with one game
plan — throw the football.
But rather than being the starring
attraction, ISU wide receiver Tracey
Henderson became a mere footnote.
Mere for Henderson adds up to a
“paltry” 219 yards with 11 recep
tions.
“Sometimes they (A&M) play true
man-to-man,” Henderson said, “and
two special — which is what we call
two guys playing man-to-man, and
one behind those two playing zo
ne...everything they used we ex
pected to see, so we had no problem
reading their coverage.”
The Aggie defensive plan was
simple and effective. To neutralize
the ISU passing game, they had to
do two things — control Henderson,
and shut down all other ISU receiv
ers.
And the Aggies did just that.
Iowa State quarterback Espinoza
found himself in a Catch-22 situa
tion. He had to throw to Henderson
for the “big plays”, but couldn’t and
was forced to dump the ball off to
secondary receivers.
Iowa State brought only five run
ning backs into the game to allow
them an extra wide receiver.
Unfortunately for Espinoza, the
three other ISU receivers — Robbie
Minor, David Smoldt and Tommie.
Davis never were a factor in the
game.
In the first quarter, Henderson
received special attention from the
Aggie secondary and Espinoza used
Robbie Minor as the deep threat.
Three times Espinoza tried to pierce
the Aggie coverage, but Minor sim
ply could not break free.
ISU Head Coach Jim Criner
seemed to take the A&M loss realisti
cally.
“A&M had three weeks to prepare
for this game,” Criner said, “so you
can see why I am so proud of these
guys. I’ve got a bunch of fighters on
this team — that’s how you win in
the Big Eight.
With the heat and humidity as bad
as it was, and with as many freshman
and soph mores we were forced to
depend on, I am proud of the way
the team played today.”
Criner focused on the biggest ISU
headache he saw during the game —
a flood of rookie mistakes com
mitted by Cyclone offensive players.
“If we hadn’t had some protection
breakdowns and our running backs
making some bad decisions we could
have kept some drives alive,” Criner
said. “Especially when the young
backs were in the game, they made
some bad decisions when they had
things wide open. Our defense
played their asses off. The best play
ers on our team were on defense.”
Criner was unhappy with the rash
of penalties on both teams and com
plained about having a combination
Southwest Conference and Big
Eight officiating crew.
“We should had all Big Eight offi
cials,” Criner said. “That’s not to say
they will give them to us, but when
you come down here you better
bring them.”
Espinoza’s expression in the
locker room said one thing — “I had
nowhere to throw.”
“They (A&M) had different varie
ties of coverages and different stunts
— corner blitzes, etc,” Espinoza said,
“They were double teaming Tracy
(Henderson) a lot in the first half,
until we started to throw to our run
ning backs. Then they started to
coming more with the free safety
blitz or strong safety blitz.”
Quarterback controversies are not
the exclusive turf of A&M. Espinoza
may be in a battle of his own to keep
his starting position.
“This game experience has done a
lot of good,” Espinoza said, “It gave
me the experience to go into the Big
Eight. I am hoping that my last in
terception will not hurt my chances
in a starting role.”
Henderson commented on the
obligatory double coverage he re
ceives f rom the defense:
“Everytime they’d (ISU) throw a
pass my way,” Henderson said, “the
next thing I know there’s a line
backer out there trying to reroute
me.
But when they come up man-to-man
that’s the fun part about it because
it’s me against you. I tell my line, if
you hold a guy for four seconds, I’ll
get you the first down.”
Throughout the interviews, one
phrase spoken by Criner kept pop
ping up.
“T his is a tough way to learn,” he
said.

Did You Know...
There is more than one type of
triathlon?
In Britain a three-event triath
lon could consist of horseback
riding, trapshooting and fly-cast
ing. These events derived from
hunting, shooting and fishing,
which the British love. A track-
and-field triathlon involves a 100-
meter dash, a high jump and a 4-
kilometer (8lb., 13 oz.) shotput.
Here at Texas A&M, the Intra
mural Triathlon will be a 250 yd.
swim, a 1.5 mi. run and a 4 mi.
bike ride. Such a triathlon is clas
sified as a recreational triathlon.
The Intramural Triathlon will be
held on October 7 through the
campus. If you are not entered,
go out and encourage the com
petitors.
