Aggies
(Continued from page 9)
The A&M offense had problems
moving the ball. With Murray at
quarterback the Aggies staggered
their way down the field for most of
the first half.
Murray could not be blamed for
the fumbles and drop passes that
seemed to occur with startling regu
larity.
A&M’s offensive line gave Murray
superb pass protection all afternoon,
but there was little Murray could do
but search in vain for an open re
ceiver. The Indians played basic
double coverage against the Aggies,
but Murray had more than his share
of underthrown passes.
“I think our team had the philos-
phy that Kevin (Murray) could do it
all,” Sherrill said, “It just doesn’t
work out that way.”
Time after time A&M marched
the ball down the field. Again and
again A&M self-destructed, lacking
the killer instinct to put points up in
the board. The players put more
emotion into grabbing a glass of wa
ter on the sidelines.
Sherrill said his team was young
and had a lot of undue pressure on
it, and he is partly right. This A&M
squad is expected to produce, espe
cially against supposedly weaker
non-conference teams.
To quote one fellow sports writer
after the game, the Ags are “unde
feated, unexcited and unimpressi
ve”.
One bright spot for the Aggies
was the continued improvement of
the running game. Thomas Sanders
was the leading ground gainer for
the Ags with 51 yards in 11 carries.
Jimmy Teal was back to his old
self snagging 3 passes for 65 yards,
including two clutch touchdown re
ceptions.
Sherrill admitted A&M failed to
adequately test the Indian second
ary. He gave no excuses for the lack
of the deep pass in the A&M game
plan.
The Indian “Y-bone” offense (a
variation of the wishbone) baffled
the Aggie defenders for much of the
first three quarters. Between the ka
mikaze running of Indians’ quar
terback Dwane Brown and the quick
slashing runs up the middle, the Ag
gie defense was all but chained to the
ground.
A&M’s defense looked even more
confused trying to adjust the Indi
an’s effective use of counter plays.
So now A&M is 3-0. There has to
be a myriad of questions to be an
swered by Sherrill before next weeks
first Southwest Conference game
against Texas Tech.
Can Stump mature enough to
lead the Aggie offense? Can the run
ning game improve? Will the de
fense be able to deal with the
tougher assignment of dealing with
SWC offenses?
And, most importantly, can A&M
rely on the mistakes of the opposi
tion’s kicker to steal another win?

from
those important early semester ex
ams and the Texas Longhorns and
SMU Mustangs both passed.
Texas, in fact, will probably be
placed at the head of the class.
It was a weekend of high import
around the Southwest Conference
with the Longhorns taking part in a
national spectacle and the Mustangs
prevailing in a regional dispute that
drew a good deal of attention.
And as the results trickled in it ap
peared that once again it will be
SMU and Texas deciding the South
west Conference title and the Cotton
Bowl berth that goes with it.
That is down the road, of course,
but Texas more than proved its
worth with its dominating 28-3 deci
sion over Penn State in the Mead-
owlands and SMU answered plenty
of questions with its 26-17 victory
over TCU in an old-fashioned
neighborhood brawl that was every
thing it was advertised to be.
The Longhorns, by virtue of their
impressive showing and the hard-to-
believe upset by Syracuse over Ne
braska, will likely become the No. I
ranked team in the nation this week.
Texas’ annual date with Oklahoma,
which should create at least a small
amount of excitement, is two weeks
away.
“I know it sounds crazy,” said
Texas coach Fred Akers. “But we
are still rebuilding.”
There was, however, other news
of consequence around the league.
Texas A&M once again squeaked
by a team it was supposed to easily
handle, nipping Arkansas State, 22-
21. And in the midst of that game
Aggies’ quarterback Kevin Murray
broke an ankle trying to vault into
the end zone.
Arkansas State appeared to have
the game in hand when it opened a
16-point advantage.
“I don’t care who they are,” said
A&M coach Jackie Sherrill. “This
was a big win for us after being down
like we were.”
Arkansas began to make plenty of
noises, meanwhile, displaying an air
attack to go with its wishbone run
ning game in bruising Navy, 33-10.
The Houston Cougars let a 14-
point lead disappear and became an
unexpected victim of Louisville, 30-
28, while the Rice Owls were
downed as expected by Miami, 38-3.
After two straight losses, the defend
ing national champion Hurricane
could draw just 20,084 at the
Orange Bowl for the meeting with
the Owls.
Finally, the Baylor Bears won
their first game of the year with an
18-9 conquest of Texas Tech in the
other league opener on the cal
endar.
Tech could gain just 13 yards
rushing and the Bears had to score
twice in the final minutes to over-
peo-
come a three-point deficit.
“We had lost a lot of momentum
and confidence even though we had
lost to two top 10 teams (Brigham
Young and Oklahoma),” said Baylor
coach Grant Teaff. “This win should
make us forget about those two
games.”
It has been a long time since the
SMU-TCU confrontation produced
the kind of intense pre-game bicker
ing that this year’s game did.
That, of course, came as a result
of TCU’s sudden emergence as a
true threat.
Both sides turned the ball over
three times and both missed scoring
opportunities, but both teams played
with a lot of zeal and the game was
about what the 58,000 fans at Texas
Stadium expected.
With the game on the line, how
ever, SMU drove 77 yards and
scored on a 25-yard run by Reggie
Dupard to finally slow down the
Horned Frogs’ early season success
story.
“That’s the kind offense we are,”
said SMU coach Bobby Collins after
his club had ground out 324 yards
rushing. “You have to credit TCU,
and we do.
“but when that bunch gets going
they can be better than a lot of j
pie give them credit for.”
“We have no excuses,” said TCU
coach Jim Wacker. “We were out
played and outcoached. They de
served to win.”
No matter how good SMU played,
however, or how good Arkansas and
TCU might eventually be as the sea
son progresses, the ominous pre-
sense of the Longhorns looms over
the rest of the conference.
Texas threw an unbalanced line at
Penn State and created enough run
ning room that Akers himself could
have gained plenty of yardage.
Had it not been for four first-half
Texas turnovers the score would
probably have been even more one
sided.
Akers, as much as any coach
around, lives for the spectacle that
college football can provide, and he
was in his element Saturday.
“It was just a super day all the way
around,” Akers beamed after the big
win. “I’m glad you (a group of re
porters) are here. I’m glad I’m here.
I’m glad I’m in this frame of mind.
“It was a great crowd, a great op-^
ponent, a great place to play football
— a great day.”
Next week Texas (2-0) will be the
overwhelming favorite in its confer
ence opener against Rice (1-2) in
Houston while Texas A&M (3-0) will
begin its league campaign at home
against Texas Tech (1-2) and Baylor
(1-2) will host Houston (1-2).
The leading attraction, however,
will come in Fayetteville where TCU
(2-1) will try to rebound from its Sat
urday night loss and get back on the
track against Arkansas (1-0-1). SMU
will take the week off.

Rose’s record-breaking double
was slightly tainted.
His iiy ball off Astros’ pitcher
Mike Scott to medium left center
field should have been an easy out,
but left fielder Jose Cruz and center
fielder jerry Mumphrey collided
trying to make the catch and the ball
fell for a hit, permitting two Red
baserunners to score.
