Ags’ QB remains a mystery
Sherrill doesn't want to aid Tide's preparation
By PETE HERNDON
Sports Writer
The biggest news at Texas A&M's
pre-game press conference Tuesday
was not what was said, but what
wasn’t said.
Texas A&M Head Football Coach
Jackie Sherrill said his coaching staff
decided Sunday not to tell the me
dia, or Alabama, who the starting
quarterback will be for the season
opener Saturday.
Sherrill wants to make the Crim
son Tide’s defensive coaches do a
little extra homework by making
them worry about both Craig Stump
and Kevin Murray.
“They (Alabama) have to go back
to 1983 to see Murray on Film,”
Sherrill said. “They can say they
won’t make any adjustments, but
that’s not really true.”
Sherrill said that, as far as the Ag
gies are concerned, the quarterback
situation is “not a big deal” because
everyone knows that both Stump
and Murray can and will play.
“In-house everybody knows
what’s going on,” he said. “It’s the
out-of-house people that have to
keep guessing. But if you guys
(sports writers) can give me a good
reason for telling you who it is, I’ll
do it.”
Since no one could give that rea
son, Sherrill asked reporters not to
try to coax any information out of
the A&M players.
Even though Sherrill wouldn’t
talk much about the ’85-86 Aggie
quarterbacks, he didn’t mind talking
about the Alabama quarterbacks he
played with some twenty years ago.
Sherrill said he got his start in
coaching, although he didn’t know it
at the time, when he was a fullback at
Alabama.
“We were playing Georgia Tech
my sophomore year with (Joe) Na-
math at quarterback,” Sherrill said.
“It was third and goal on the half-
yard-line and he (Namath) called a
slant, but I told him to run a (quar
terback) sneak and he did.”
Namath scored on the play and
’Bama went on to win.
Though he may have helped Na
math, he wasn’t quite so nice to for
mer NFL All-Pro quarterback Ken
Stabler.
When Stabler was a freshman at
’Bama, Sherrill took Stabler to a bar
ber shop to get an “A” shaved on his
head. Sherrill noticed a two-foot
curb across the street that had accu
mulated a large pool of water from a
rainstorm.
Moments later, Sherrill quipped,
Stabler was lying “belly-up” in the
water, flailing his arms and legs and
doing a fairly good “dying roach im
itation.”
“I’m a dying roach,” the future
All-American quarterback yelled,
“I’m a dying roach!”
But it didn’t take long for Stabler
to figure that he would get tired of

would get tired of laughing. So,
Stabler finally just lied still.
ing for Alabama’s legendary coach
Paul “Bear” Bryant, he and Perkins
have a lot in common.
“I’m a dead roach, damn it,’
Stabler panted.
Sherrill’s inspiration to tell this
story seemed to stem from Alabama
Head Football Coach Ray Perkins’
remark that Sherrill was “footloose
and fancy free” during their college
football days together at ’Bama.
“You had to have certain qualities,
r you didn’t make it,” Sherrill said,
Terriner to Bryant’s four-hour
“Right now they’re in their ’8f
85, '86 overlap years and we’re
our ’85, ’86, ’8/ overlap. So thereii
the point now that we should be net
year.”
reternng to Bryant’s
practice sessions, “Football had to be
important to you. Winning had to be
important to you.”
But the Aggies need this games!
bad as the Title does.
“He (Perkins) was already mar
ried and had started a family,” Sher
rill said. “He didn’t get his share of
the finer things in (college) life.”

And the importance of winnirq
this game, for both Alabama ant
A&M, cannot be understated.
Even though a coach with a na
tional championship to his credi
shouldn’t need to prove anythingu
anyone, Saturday’s game willbespt
cial for Sherrill.
But Sherrill said that, after play-
“Believe it or not,” Sherrill said,
“this is a bigger game for Alabama
than it is for us. If they lose, it’ll tear
down everything they’ve done.
“He (Bryant) had a gjreat respect
— and you could tell it — for hi
players that went off and did some
thing,” Sherrill said.
Still one and counting for Reds’ Rose
Associated Press
CINCINNATI- The chase goes
In his first opportunity to break
Ty Cobb’s 57-year-old mark of 4,191
ifei
lifetime hits, FJete Rose came up
empty Tuesday night. He went 0-
for-4 against San Diego.
“I wasn’t nervous,” said Rose, the
Cincinnati Reds player-manager.
“I’ve made more outs than anyone. I
wasn’t nervous. I might have been
trying too hard.”
Rose tied Cobb last Sunday in Chi
cago, going 2-for-5. He did not play
in the opener of a 10-game home-
stand Monday night against San
Diego because the Padres threw a
left-hander, Dave Dravecky.
But, on Tuesday night, before a
packed house of 51,045 at Riverf
ront Stadium, Rose took his place in
the lineup at first base against
Padres right-hander LaMarr Hoyt.
Hoyt had not pitched since Aug.
18 because of arm trouble, but he
got Rose out three times. And rookie
right-hander Lance McCullers got
him the final time in the game, in the
eighth inning, when Rose lined out
hard to the gap in left-center with a
runner on second.
“The only time I swung the bat
good was tne last time I got up,”
Rose said. “If it had stayed straight,
it might have been a base hit in the
gap, but it hooked back toward the
fielder and made it an easy play.”
McCullers, who was making only
his 11th major leagqe appearance
since being called up Aug. 9, said he
got behind Rose in the count, 1-0,
then came back with a fastballonll
outside part of the plate.
“I was scared at first because
thought it might carry,” McCullen
said. “The pitch was down andawaj
and he hit it good.”
In his first at-bat, Rose popped
the shortstop. He Hied out lazily
left the second time up, thei
blooped another one to the short
stop. It was the fifth time in hi
nine games Rose has gone without!
hit, and he is now hitless in his las
six at-bats.
IS YOUR VISION 20/20?
come and see if it is.
