Ags leery of Tide defensive line
By PETE HERNDON
Spoils W riter
Most of Texas A&M's prepara
tion for its opener against Ala
bama Saturday concerns just one
thing — counteracting the
strength of the Crimson Tide's
defense-
Having spent the last f ixe years
as the head coach at Oregon
State, the Aggies’ new offensive
line coach, Joe Ave/zano, knows
all about big games and big de
fensive lines.
“It’s going to he a real chal
lenge to control the (Alabama)
line,’’ Ave/zano said, “( f ide nose
tackle Curt) Jarvis and (tackle
Jon) Hand are both exceptional
athletes and, at the other (tackle)
position, (Brent) Sowell is good."
Knter Avezzano’s revamped
Aggie offensive line, featuring
two returning starters, Doug Wil
liams and Randy Dausin, and
three newcomers.
It’s those five guys who'll have
the chore of keeping Tide All-
American linebacker Cornelius
Bennett from giving A&M no
c/jo/ceof quarterbacks next week
end.
In Alabama’s season-opening
20-16 win over Georgia, Bennett
looked like a clone of the New
York Giants’ Lawrence Taylor.
Only nine of Georgia’s 16 points
against Alabama were scored by
the offense.
“There’s few teams that can
match up physically with Ben
nett,” Ave/zano said. “He’s going

(above) — “It's going to bo a real challenge to

control the (Alabama) line. We need a game like

to make a lot of things happen.”
Freshman guard Trace Mc
Guire hopes those “things” don’t
happen in the A&M backfield
Saturday.
“Bennett is real quick,” said
McGuire, referring to the line
backer’s 4.6 speed in the 40-yard
dash. “We’re going to have to
concentrate on dropping out of
there quick on passing plays to
pick him up.”
McGuire said the Aggies’ line
has set three goals for the ’Bama
game — no quarterback sacks, no
turnovers and allow the rushing
game to average four yards a
carry.
“If we can do 'all that,” Mc
Guire said smiling, “the people in
Aggieland will be celebrating Sat-
uraay night. They (Alabama) are
not going to be as shaky as us.
They’ve already gotten the first
game jitters out of the way.
“But if we (the offensive line
men) do make a mistake, we
should be able to overcome' it.
Our defense will work for us.”
Sophomore center Matt Wilson
said the Aggies will subscribe to a
kind of Vince Lombardi school of
thought to control the line of
scrimmage.
“We’re going to intimidate
them,” Wilson said. “We’re bigger
and stronger than they are. We
should dominate the line.
“T his game means a lot to us.
We’re going to be on national
television (ESPN will telecast the
game at 6:45 p.m.) and, if we win,
we get ranked.”
Wilson said the television cov
erage and the chance of a na
tional ranking weren’t the only
motivation for the Aggies.
“ They wrote us a nice little let
ter, telling us how much they
were looking forward to playing
us in their own back yard,” he
said. "I think they may be getting
a little cocky.”
Avezzano said his players have
the potential to be a good offen
sive line, but “only time will tell”
how well they produce.
“From last spring to this
point,” Avezzano said, “the physi
cal aspect has really improved.
Mentally, they’ve got a lot of char
acter.
“We need a game like Alabama
to see exactly where we’re at.”

IRVING — Dallas’ determined defense intercepted Joe Theisrnann five
times Monday night and Cowboy quarterback Danny White and placekicker
Rafael Septien made Washington pay for its mistakes with a 44-14 National
Football League victory over the Redskins.
White, wearing a flak jacket for the first time in his career, directed a 98-
yard scoring drive and combined on a 55-yard scoring strike with Mike
Renfro, while Septien kicked field goals of 53, 39, and 43 yards.
Cornerback Victor Scott completed the humiliation of Theisrnann on
his 36th birthday by plucking off a pass and returning it 26 yards for a
touchdown to build Dallas’ lead to 30 points midway of the fourth quarter.
Washington reserve quarterback Jay Schroeder didn’t fare any better
than Theisrnann, serving up a 21-yard touchdown interception return to
Dennis Thurman with 2:50 left in the game.
The Cowboys’ victory over their hated National Football Conference
Eastern Division rival snapped a three-game losing streak to the Redskins.
Mike Downs, Everson Walls, Ron Fellows and Bill Bates also intercepted
Theisrnann while Dextor Clinkscale recovered a fumble coughed up by
Washington running back George Rogers.
Dallas converted Washington errors into 27 points.
The Cowboys put Washington away with a 13-point third quarter on
two Septien field goals and a nine-yard touchdown run by Tony Dorsett fol
lowing Fellows’ interception and 29-yard return.
The beseiged Theisrnann connected on a 19-yard touchdown pass to
tight end Clint Didier late in the fourth quarter.
It was the worst defeat inflicted on Washington since Pittsburgh downed
the Skins 38-7 in 1979. It was Dallas’ biggest victory in the 51-game series
with the Redskins since a 34-0 victory in 1970.
White, recently named team captain, wore the flak jacket to protect ribs
injured in the preseason. WTiite, wno hadn’t played a game in three weeks,
completed 13 of 32 passes for 208 yards and no interceptions.
Theismann, meanwhile, completed 15 of 35 passes for 206 yards.
Dallas built a 10-0 lead on Septien’s 53-yard field goal, matching the
longest of his career, and Timmy Newsome’s one-yard scoring run that
capped an 18-play, 98-yard drive.
There was a controversial call just before Newsome’s, touchdown
plunge. He caught a 16-yard pass from White but fumbled at the one. The
Redskins recovered but the officials ruled Newsome was down, although in
stant replays left some question.
The Redskins responded to Dallas’ first touchdown by going 77 yards in
10 plays with John Riggins bulling across from a yard out.
Dallas got (he ball with 1:38 to play in the half and scored again on two
plays fora 17-7 lead.
After a White pass to Renfro gained six yards, Renfro hoodwinked
Washington rookie Barry Wilburn into biting on a fake sideline route. The
slow-footed Cowboy wide receiver instead ran a deep post route, caught the
ball on the Skin 20 and plodded untouched into the end zone.
