ASU Indians share
Aggies' spotlight
By TAMARA BELL
Sports Writer
What began as the final dress re
hearsal before next week’s curtain
raiser against Texas Tech soon be
came a live performance for the
Texas A&M Aggies. Though the
Ags struggled against Arkansas
State, they remained the stars of
their own production.
From the moment ASU walked on
stage, it was apparent someone had
forgotten to tell them the spotlight
was reserved for the Aggies.
The 45,282 fans at Kyle Field
were miserable and uncomfortable,
but it wasn’t all due to the bad
weather conditions.
They expected to see A&M quar
terback Kevin Murray to be the star
of the show. Statistically, he did out
perform ASU quarterback Dwane
Brown by completing 16 of 25 passes
for 189 yards and a touchdown.
Brown had a 6 of 19 completion rate
for 36 yards and one interception.
But Murray appeared unsteady
when confronted with by the Indian
defense.
ASU strong safety Billy Bowers
believed A&M underrated the In
dian defense.
“They (A&M) haven’t been hit as
hard as we hit them,” Bowers said.
“We’re a physical defense. In the
a physical
first half they weren’t expecting us
to come on so strong. During the
second half they wised up to it and
held on to the ball a little better.”
ASU Head Coach Larry Lacewell
claimed his game plan coming into
the game was just to “save our lives.”
“Texas A&M is bigger and
stronger than us,” Lacewell said.
“We had to gamble and keep the ball
away from them as much as we could
because of their potent offense. We
had nothing to lose and everything
to gain in this game.”
Lacewell and Brown had different
opinions as to the reason Brown
gained 43 yards rushing.
“I only threw when we needed a
first down,” Brown said. “We were
doing better on the ground so we
stayed with it.”
“He (Brown) wasn’t having a good
passing game,” Lacewell said.
“When he had time, he overthrew
them. I’m disappointed in his per
formance.”
One of the key turning points for
the Indians occurred after the safety
in the third quarter. After gaining
possession of the ball, ASU promptly
fumbled it back to A&M. Brown be
lieved that play was responsible for
A&M regaining the momentum
which eventually led to the winning
Aggie touchdown.
In an effort to regroup a scattered
offense, Lacewell substituted Brown
with third-string quarterback Cazzy
Francis.
“I was told I would get more play
ing time,” Francis said, “But since
the game was close. Coach Lacewell
felt he should use Dwane (Brown)
until the end.”
When quarterback Craig Stump
replaced the injured Kevin Murray
in the fourth quarter, the Indian de
fense expected a revived Aggie pass
ing attack.
“Murray is more of a running
threat than Stump,” safety Billy
Bowers said. “We didn’t expect
Stump to roll out like he did. We as
sumed he would drop-back and
pass. They had the element of sur-
Vol i

T
4/
prise.
After the narrow defeat, a cloud
v'T";
of despair hung over the ASU play
ers as they plodded to the dressing
Regarding the running game es
tablished early in the first quarter.
“If they had beat us 38-0 (the
score of last year’s game),” Bowers
said, “the loss wouldn’t have been so
bad. But we know we could have
won the game and that’s what hurts
the most.”

Do you feel that you are totally committed to fit
ness? If so, then SHAPE UP II just may be the pro
gram for you! This is different from the regular SHAPE
UP program in that a participant must fulfill his/her
goals within a period from September 1, 1984 to Au
gust 31,1985. The point system is exactly the same as
the regular SHAPE UP II but for two exceptions:
1. For those who reach the 500 point level, a free
SHAPE UP II T-shirt will be awarded and at the
1,000 point level, your name will be inscribed on the
SHAPE UP II Hall of FAME PLAQUE.
2. Weekly progress must be turned in. A “0” point value
turned in for three weeks in a row will warrant you to
be dropped from SHAPE UP II and placed into the
regular SHAPE UP program.
The 16-inch softball playoffs, begins Oct. 1
This program is geared to those who have made a
serious committment to incorporating fitness into their
everyday lifestyle. If you have any questions concern
ing this program, please feel free to drop by the Intra
