For a man that is supposed to
have a multi-million dollar job riding
on the performance of his football
team, Texas A&M Coach Jackie
Sherrill seemed relaxed talking to
the Southwest Conference Media
Tour Tuesday.
It’s easier to feel at ease when
your optimistic and Sherrill’s mood
wasjust that.
“I think we’re capable of having h
winning season and going to a bowl
game,” Sherrill said.
Most A&M fans will notice the
word “Cotton” missing from that
statement.
Well, when you’re a game over
.500 during a three-year stretch, it
might be wise not to promise too
much, too soon.
Besides, Aggie supporters should
welcome a chance to go some place
warm, like maybe El Paso, around
Christmas time.
What’s the reason for Sherrill’s
optimistic outlook?
Simple. All of his quarterbacks
seem to be coming along better than
expected.
“(Craig) Stump is very consistent,”
Sherrill said. “He’s very aware of
what’s going on on the field. He’ll
also be punting in certain situa
tions.”
To make things even better Sher
rill, 1983’s.SWC Newcomer of the
Year Kevin Murray is back to com
pete with Stump for his old job.
Murray season was cut short, when
he suffered a broken ankle in the
third game of’84.
“He will definitely be ready to
play against Alabama," Sherrill said.
“He’s improving every day, but
we’re not trying to rush him.”
Sherrill added that the third-
string quarterback, Mark Motley,
has been a “big surprise” during
two-a-day workouts thus far.
However, since the Aggies haven’t
worked out their entire game plan,
Sherrill will not announce a starter
until early next week.
But nobody needs to wait long to
find out who the Aggies’ running
backs are.
Even though Anthony Toney and
Roger Vick have gotten some bad
preseason press for not having out
side speed, Sherrill said Toney may
help silence the critics early in the
season.
“Toney is a major league back,”

Texas A&M Head Football Coach Jackie Sherrill
(above) told sports writers at the Southwest Con
ference Press Tour Tuesday that he has the Ag
gies pointed in the right direction for 1985.
Sherrill said. “He can play either
fullback or tailback for just about
anybody. You can’t take anything
away from (SMU’s Reggie) Dupard
or (TCU’s Kenneth) Davis, but for
what we use him. for, Toney is as
good as anyone in the conference.”
The Ags also plan to use several
other offensive variations this year.
The depth position on offense be
longs to the tight ends.
1983 All-SWC selection Rich Siler
has worked his way back into a start
ing role, after being plagued with
foot injuries most of last year. Rod
Bernstine and Sylvester Morgan
should also see plenty of action as
backups.
“We’re not going to have to be
near as conservative as we were last
year,” said Sherrill, referring to the
injuries that crippled the Aggie of
fense last season.
Defensively, the Aggies are at
least two-deep at every position.
ing All-American Ray Childress.
"He’s better right now (at this
point in his career) than Childrai
was,” Sherrill said. "I wasn’t a
tremely pleased with his perfoi
mance Saturday, but, every time lx
steps on the field, I expect himtt
dominate it.”
on the field every five minutes,’

“We’ll be using two tight ends
quite a bit and utilize a four-receiver
offense,” Sherrill said.
Sherrill said. “We’ll be able to use a
four-man line when we need to and
a five-man line on goal line situa
tions, which is something we haven’t
been able to do in the past.”
At linebacker, Sherrill is expect
ing “big things" from Johnny Hol
land.
“You won’t find a better line
backer in the conference," he said
