While the game to be played this
Saturday on Kyle Field against
Northeast Louisiana won’t exactly be
chess or Trivial Pursuit, T exas A&M
Head Coach Jackie Sherrill said it
will definitely be mental.
“The biggest problem we lace this
week is in the mental aspects of this
game,” Sherrill said during his
weekly press conference Tuesday.
“Our guys have to realize that just
because they’re a Division I-AA team
doesn’t mean that they’re an easy
win.
“Because of scholarship limits and
some other things, the days of the
big school beating up on the small
school, with 30- and 40-point
spreads, are pretty much over.
Northeast Louisiana Head Coach
Pat Collins, who owns the only win
ning coaching record (29-16) since
the school became a senior college in
1951, agrees — but only to a point.
“It (an NLU victory) is not impos
sible by any stretch of the imagina
tion,” Collins said. “It’s an important
ballgame for us.
“Realistically, we aren't able to
compare the size and talent of Texas
A&M to the people we play against
the rest of the year. A&M is a great
football team.
“I don’t think people around the
country were able to realize the mag
nitude of talent out there in that
A&M-Alabama game.
“It’s a great honor to go to College
Station and play A&M. We just have
to put it all in the proper perspective
and be mature, if we possibly can.”
Maturity may he a bit much to ask
of the Indians at this point in the
season.
NLU starts only four seniors and
has only seven seniors on its entire
squad. Ten freshman are listed on
NLU’s two-deep depth chart.
“We’re a very young team,” Col
lins reiterated, “and it’s a real honor
for the coaches in our league (the
Southland Conference) to pick us as
high as third. We could be a good
team at our level before the end of
the season.”
Sherrill said the Indians are al
ready good enough to worry about.
“You look at some of the scores
around the country and you see
what has happened to some of the
teams that took Division 1-AA oppo
nents for granted,” Sherrill said.
“North Texas State (picked to fin
ish sixth in the seven-team SLC this
season) went up to Oklahoma State
and lost 10-9 and had a chance to
win the game. Bowling Creen upset
Kentucky. You just can’t overlook
these people.”
The Aggies learned their lesson
last year when they escaped another
SLC member, Arkansas State, 22-21,
with nothing to show for it but a dis
abled quarterback, national ridicule
and a greatly bruised team ego.
So how does NLU compare with
Arkansas State?
“Two years ago, they (NLU) beat
the dog out of them (ASU),” Sherrill
said. “They’re very comparable.
“The difierence between them
and a lot of other Division I-AA
schools is that they do have the op-
portunity to make the big throw,
Their quarterback was recruited by
almost every big school in the area,

Ag QB question bad one to ask
By BRANDON BERRY

Despite a season-opening loss to Alabama, Texas A&M Head Coach
Jackie Sherrill said at his weekly press conference Tuesday that the Aggies
have no quarterback controversy going into Saturday’s game against North
east Louisiana.
Both Kevin Murray and Craig Stump compiled impressive statistics in
the A&M’s 23-10 loss to Alabama.
Stump, who took the first snap against 'Bama, completed six-of-seven
passes for 51 yards. Murray, who took over on the third offensive series, al
ternated with Stump the rest of the game and completed 13-of-20 attempts
for 158 yards.
Sherrill said he had no complaints with either performance.
“Both Kevin and Craig did a good job against Alabama and we were able
to pass effectively when either of them were in there,” Sherrill said.
“We’re going to cont inue to play two quarterbacks. If you have two good
running backs, you use them. I don’t see why the quarterback position is any
different.”
Baylor has used alternating quarterbacks, Tom Muecke and Cody Carl
son, for the past two seasons and Texas Coach Fred Akers said he will also
employ some kind of shuttle system with Todd Dodge and Bret Stafford.
However, the Aggie “quarterback shuttle” will be unlike others in the
Southwest Conference.
“Your system is the one that you go with,” Sherrill said. “The way Grant
(Teaff) uses his quarterbacks works fine for Baylor, but we have to stick with
what works best for A&M. Both of them (Stump and Murray) are capable of
doing a lot of things.”
The list of Murray’s “capabilities” has been shortened by injuries, how
ever. Murray suffered an injured left shoulder in the fourth quarter of the
Alabama game which severely restricted his mobility. He has been held out
of any contact drills for the remainder of the week.
“Kevin is not 100 percent,” Sherrill said. “You guys may not see it, but
we as coaches see it. We’re very fortunate to have Kevin back at all, consid
ering the extent of his injury last season.
“With Kevin being hurt the way he’s been hurt, Craig will start the
(NLU) game for us,” Sherrill said. “But Kevin will definitely play.”
But what happens when Murray returns to full speed?
“That was a bad question to ask,” Sherrill said. “We’re going to play two
quarterbacks and people are just going to have to get used to seeing it.”
