The coaches around the South
west Conference insisted before the
season began that this was the year
parity would become a reality in the
league.
Of course they say that every year.
But now the law of averages seems to
have Finally caught up with them
and they actually have a chance to be
right.
It still may turn out that the Texas
Longhorns will roll through the
SWC] unbeaten and show up in the
Cotton Bowl New Year’s Day.
But the returns from last Satur
day, which came in during another
weather-plagued day around the
SWC, reveal that surprises are possi
ble.
The SMU Mustangs found that
out against the Houston Cougars
and the Longhorns themselves came
close to being left speechless by the
Arkansas Razorbacks.
Arkansas rallied from a 24-3 defi
cit in the fourth quarter and came up
four yards short of a victory before
falling, 24-18. On the last play of the
game Brad Taylor hit Jamie Lueders
with a pass that Lueders carried to
the 4-yard line before being stopped
by Tony Tillmon and John Hagy.
“I’m getting tired of our games
being decided in the last 10 sec
onds,” said Texas coach Fred Akers,
whose third-ranked Longhorns
managed a tie on the Final play
against Oklahoma a week ago.
“Arkansas made a courageous ef
fort to try to take the ball game.”
Texas thus stayed unbeaten (4-0-
1), but the Longhorns do not have a
clear path to the league title. All
sorts of teams have risen up this year
to give an indication that the SWC
could produce a few twists before
the season is completed.
There is the University of Hous
ton to worry about. The Cougars
have won all three of their confer
ence games including a 29-20 upset
over the seventh-ranked SMU Mus
tangs last Saturday.
Quarterback Gerald Landry
pulled off a number of big plays and
Houston recovered all seven of its
fumbles to hand the Mustangs only
their second regular season loss in
three seasons.
TCU must be considered a title
challenger, having beaten Arkansas
and having won three games in a
row for the First time in 17 years.
The Frogs most recent win was a
34-3 intersectional conquest of
North Texas in which Kenneth Da
vis gained 219 yards for TCU. It was
the second 200-yard day for Davis
this season and only one other run
ning back in SWC history — Earl
Campbell — has had more than one
200-yard rushing performance in a
single season.
“I don’t worry about publicity,”
said Davis, who went into the game
as the nation’s third leading rusher.
“All I want is a win.”
Baylor must not be counted out as
far as the spoiler role goes since the
Bears have a history of playing
Texas tough. T hey also became the
latest in a growing number of teams
to whip the struggling Texas A&M
Aggies.
The Bears downed A&M, 20-16,
during the worst of the weather that
stormed through the region. The
Aggies, winless in three league
games, saw a series of mistakes in the
kicking game ruin their hopes for a
win. For the second time in three
weeks Baylor played in a game that
was delayed because of violent
weather.
Finally, SMU must not be counted
out, despite its setback against Hous
ton. The Mustangs travel to Austin
next Saturday in hopes of beating
Texas on its home turf for the third
time in a row.
Parity, however, has not reached
as far as the Rice Owls, who were
handily stomped by the Texas Tech
Red Raiders, 30-10.
For a number of years the base
ment in the SWC was decided be
tween Rice and TCU. This year it
apparently will be decided between
Rice and A&M.
The win by Houston was the First
major upset of the SWC season and
the Cougars victory was no fluke.
“We have to get used to the idea,”
said SMU linebacker T.D. Briggs,
“that just because we are SMU,
teams are not going to lie down.”
This marks the fourth time since
Houston joined the league in 1976
that the Cougars have opened their
conference campaign with three
consecutive wins. On the other three
occasions Houston went to the Cot
ton Bowl.
That thought was very much in
the minds of the players as they left
the field at Texas Stadium Saturday.
“Cotton, Cotton, Cotton,” they
yelled.
But as the conference season
neared the halfway mark, the Cou
gars were not the only team with
lofty thoughts. The possibility of
parity in the SWC has touched off a
wave of championship dreams.

learned something on that play.”
The Aggie defense was what kept
the Aggies in the game. Defensive
end Ray Childress didn’t seem to
have a lot to say.
“When a team (Baylor) gets just
six first downs for the whole game,”
Childress said, “and they score 20
points, there really is no justice in
the world.”
Childress showed princely re
straint in not pointing his finger at
the impotent A&M offense.-
Sherrill did not put the quar
terback question to rest either.
Backup John Mazur played for one
series before giving the the ball back
to Baylor on a fumbled snap.
“I will put Mazur in when I put
him in,” Sherrill said.
And so our story ends children.
We have Sir Sherrill talking as
though the Aggies were playing 5-0
ball and had just had a few bad
breaks. I always thought the good
teams made their own breaks.
We have a sputtering offense, and
a ineffective quarterback.
We have a tough defense which
has to offset the weak play of Stump
and his knights — or knaves if you
will.
So as we leave fair Aggieland, we
know that there are many goblins
and gremlins still to appear in this
strange tale.
At least Jackie can say, “Let the
Aggie fans eat cake (or cotton).”

Boston College and West Virginia
taunted each other all week — but
No. 19 West Virginia had the final
say in its 21-20 comeback victory
over the No. 4 Eagles.
WVU scored 15 straight points
while holding BC scoreless in the
second half to win its homecoming
game Saturday in the battle for brag
ging rights in the East.
On its last two possessions BC
moved into field goal range. But
each time, linebacker Fred Smalls
sacked Eagles quarterback Doug Flu-
tie to take Boston College out of po
sition.
“I’m surprised I got him,” Smalls
said. “He’s hard to catch. The only
thing going through my mind when
I caught him was a victory.”
The talking between the two
teams began last week after some
WVU players said their team was
slighted in consideration for the
Lambert Trophy. It was awarded
last year to BC as the best team in the
East. Both teams had 9-3 records but
the Mountaineers had beaten BC
during the season.
Flutie, in turn, called the Moun
taineers “bush.”
WVU, which rallied from a 20-6
halftime deficit, scored on three
field goals by Paul Woodside, a 1-
yard run by fullback Ron Wolfley
seconds into the fourth quarter and
a 5-yard run by tailback John Gay.
Two passes for 2-point conversions
failed. Gay’s game-winning TD run

came with five minutes to go and
capped an 80-yard drive.
“I never thought they could come
back to beat us like that,” BC coach
Jack Bicknell said.
BC scored on two field goals by
Kevin Snow, a 24-yard run by full
back Steve Strachan and a 42-yard
pass from Flutie to Kelvin Martin.
On its final possession, BC drove
to the WVU 38 but was taken out of
scoring position when Flutie was
sacked by Smalls on first down, for
an 11-yard loss. BC surrendered the
ball three plays later.
Flutie completed 21-of-42 passes
for 299 ytirds. WVU’s Kevin White
connected on 17-of-30 for 227 yards
and one interception.
“They came with nine men at
times — something no other team
ever did,” Flutie said of the rush.
“We couldn’t get anything going on
offense.”
