TCU’s Cotton
Bowl dreams
all but gone

In what has been somewhat of a
zany season in the Southwest Con
ference, normalcy has made a sud
den appearance. But there is no
guarantee it is here to stay.
Once again, the Texas Longhorns
have managed to assert themselves.
They dampened the TCU Horned
Frogs’ season-long euphoria Satur
day and put themselves in position
to make yet another trip to the Cot
ton Bowl. The Boston College Ea
gles, with Heisman Trophy candi
date Doug Flutie, have signed up as
the visiting team for the New Year’s
Day classic in Dallas.
But there are a few more laps to
be run in this year’s race and any
sort of stumble by the Horns would
create an impressive mess in the con
ference standings. For now, how
ever, Texas has earned the right to
point out that they are still the bully
of the SWC block.
“TCU has been there now, but on
the wrong end of it,” Texas offen
sive tackle Greg Wright said. “They
have to regroup and see what it takes
to win a really big game.”
The No. 9 Longhorns, with Terry
Orr running for 195 yards and scor
ing four touchdowns, brought TCU
down from its momentum cloud, 44-
23. TCU had come into the game
with the lead in the SWC, a six-game
winning streak and the No. 10 spot
in the national rankings.
“Thank goodness there is another
day,” TCU coach Jim Wacker said.
“But we are still 8-2. I thought be
fore the season started that we might
be about 6-4 right now, so we still
have had a great season.”
A TCU win would have all but
clinched a Cotton Bowl berth for the
Horned Frogs. But Texas, even
though it knocked off TCU, still has
work to do before it can make the
Jan. 1 appearance in Dallas. Texas
has suffered one SWC loss this year,
a 29-15 setback against Houston,
and there are four teams still in the
conference race with two losses.
SMU (5-2) stayed in the picture
with a 31-0 drubbing of Texas Tech
Saturday and Arkansas (5-2) also
had an easy time dispensing with the
floundering Texas Aggies, 28-0.
TCU is also at 5-2 and Houston,
which had last week off, is 4-2.
The only way Texas can wrap up
the Cotton Bowl bid next Saturday is
to defeat Baylor, which won a wild
46-40 contest against Rice last Satur
day, and have Texas Tech upset
Houston in Lubbock. If Texas loses
to either Baylor or Texas A&M, the
race could wind up in a two-way,
three-way or four-way tie. The possi
bilities are almost limitless, but
Texas will be the decided favorite
over both of its remaining foes.
The question remains, however,
whether Texas is the team that
struggled and fumbled its way
through a Five-week period of its
schedule or is the team that ex
ploded for 35 points in the second
half against TC J. Texas coach Fred
Akers insisted it was the latter and
he also wanted it known that while
TCU was walking away with all the
publicity lately, his team deserved
some as well.
“TCU had momentum,” Akers
said, “They deserved it. They have
won some good football games. But
just because you don’t put it on bill
boards it doesn’t mean you can’t
have momentum, too. We have
played some good football games,
too, and we played a good one to
day.”
Texas had turned the ball over a
record nine times the previous week
in losing to Houston and that embar-
rasing loss apparently served to put
the Longhorns in the proper state of
mind Saturday.
“We had a lot to prove,” Texas de
fensive tackle Tony Degrate said.
“This game meant more to me than
any I can remember. A lot of people
have really been down on us. I told
coach Akers all week that I was
going to have my best game ever and
it just might have been.”
The Texas-Baylor contest will
have an early start next Saturday
with a regional television commit
ment having moved the kickoff up
to 11:35 a.m. TCU will visit A&M,
with the game starting at 2 p.m.

No.1
BYU could become the king
of NCAA's football mountain
United Press International
The haul has been long and the
terrain steep, but Brigham Young
can see the top now.
While five different teams have
climbed to No. 1 in the national
rankings this season and fallen, BYU
has continued on an unswerving
course to the summit and after an
other weekend full of upsets, the
Cougars look to be king of the hill.
The No. 3 Cougars overcame five
turnovers Saturday to defeat Utah
24-14, keeping the nation’s longest
winning streak intact at 22. Mean
while, No. 2 South Carolina was be
ing beaten for the first time this sea
son, a 38-15 thrashing by Navy,
making BYU the lone undefeated
Division I-A team. And when No. 6
Oklahoma upset No. 1 Nebraska 17-
7, even Cougar coach Lavelle Ed
wards was talking No. 1.
“I think we have a legitimate claim
to the No. 1 ranking,” Edwards sai-
dof his 11-0 Cougars, the Western
Athletic Conference champions and
host team in the Dec. 21 Holiday
Bowl.
The Cougars’ most likely chal
lenger to UPI’s No. 1 ranking this
week is No. 4 Oklahoma State (9-1),
a 16-10 victor over Iowa State. No. 5
Washington (10-1) might also get
consideration after its 38-29 win
over Washington State.
“I would think we should be rated
No. 1 this week,” Edwards said. “I
definitely feel we have a right to be
No. 1 now.
“But right now I’m more worried
about Utah State next weekend. If
we can get this Utah State game over
with, and if we can win that one,
then I’ll really stop and think about
it if it works out that way.”
Edwards has compiled a 116-37-1
record since taking over as head
coach in 1972. Before he arrived
BYU had managed just 13 winning
seasons in its history and Edwards
Figured there would never be a na
tional championship.
“If it happens at the end of this
year, it would definitely be the high
light of my coaching career, there’s
no question about that,” Edwards
said.
Robbie Bosco overcame three
first-half interceptions to lead BYU
over Utah. He passed for 367 yards
and three touchdowns, giving him
3,537 yards and 32 TDs this season.
“I’m maybe more proud of this
team than any other (BYU team) be
cause most people fail to recognize
that when things are going well,
when you’re not throwing intercep
tions or having fumbles, that it’s not
as hard,” Edwards said.
“But, when you’re not playing as
good as you have been and things
are going badly, when all the breaks
are against you and you can still hold
on to win against a very good team,
that gives me a very good feeling.”
At Lincoln, Neb., Tim Lashar’s
32-yard field goal in the opening
minute of the fourth quarter and a
brilliant goal-line stand by Okla
homa with five minutes left held off
Nebraska. It marked the sixth time
this season the No. 1 team in the na
tion was upset and the second time
for the Cornhuskers.
Quarterback Bob Misch passed
for two touchdowns and Mike Smith
ran for two more to key Navy’s
shocking win. The Gamecocks are
the highest ranked team the Middies
have ever upset.
USC’s John Lee’s five field goals,
four of them from more than 40
yards, and Dennis Price’s 63-yard in
terception return for a TD lifted
UCLA over USC. Lee has kicked an
NCAA-record 29 field goals this sea
son.
At Lexington, Ky., Florida gained
at least a tie for its first-ever SEC
championship. Bobby Raymond
connected on six field goals to help
secure the victory for the Gators,
who set a school record with eight
straight victories.
Keith Byars, held in check by a
tough Michigan defense, still rushed
for 92 yards and three TDs to put
Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
Field goal kicker Artie Cosby
kicked three second-half field goals,
including the game-winning 27-
yarder with 1:15 remaining, to lift
Mississippi State to its upset over
LSU.
