Sports Analysis
A little girl squats in front of the
television set and chants softly,
“They're here!”
Poltergeist, you say? Nope. Try
the Southwest Conference.
And Texas A&M fans every
where, big and small, are hoping a
national E.SPN audience is treated to
a lot more than static when the Ag
gies host No. 20 SMU Saturday.
The difference between whoop
ing and crying for the A&M faithful
should be decided on the line of
scrimmage.
SMU handed the Texas Long
horns a textbook illustration of
power football in last week’s 44-14
rony Parade.”
Alternating tailbacks Reggie Du-
pard and Jeff Atkins ran up, over
and through the Texas defense.
SMU’s multi-talented quarterback,
Don King, triggered the big plays
that have become his trademark.

Meanwhile, the swarming Mus
tang defense forced the ’Horns to
pass the ball — a.k.a lose the game.
When the Mustangs have the ball
they alternate two of fensive lines, av
eraging 6-foot-5, 265-pounds. They
also alternate two defensive lines of
same dimensions.

’Stangs have usually beaten their op
ponents into submission and their
rony Express II” tailback tandem
have felt obligated to rush for about
six million yards.
And that’s why the Aggies are
worried about the “Mustang Ma
shers” kicking dirt in their faces.
However, for the Aggies to corral
the Mustangs, they’ll need to prove
that the best defense is a good of
fense. A&M will need to establish its
fullback power running game, ala
Roger Vick and Anthony Toney, to
open up the passing lanes for Aggie
quarterback Kevin Murray.

Murray will sriow SMU Saturday
at 6:45 p.m. in Kyle Field that he’s a

Dodge and Brett Stafford combined,

Texas Tech has a pretty good de
fense. Texas has a pretty bad of
fense.
The possibilities are endless.
The Horns have learned one of
fensive lesson the hard way — you
can move the ball by passing.
However, for UT to beat Tech, it
will have to produce in its vaunted
ground game for the first time in
ive weeks.
For Tech to beat Texas, it will
have to move the ball consistently
from the wishbone formation and
avoid any tbird-and-Iong situations.
One interesting side note: Did you
see what the Texas defense dia to
the Oklahoma Sooners’ wishbone?
Texas isn’t that dominant of a
team this season. But Tech isn’t Ok

Houston at TCU

Amon Carter Stadium
Fort Worth
Who cares? Both teams are win-
less in the SWC (0-4) and going no
where fast.
This game is only important to
TCU Coach Jim Wacker, UH Coach
Bill Yeoman and the players’ mum
mies and daddies.
Yeoman is the “Father of the
Veer,” but this year’s Cougar offense
looks more like an abortion.
The Horned Frogs, meanwhile,
followed a humilating loss to Rice
with a debilitating 45-1) smacking by
No. 13 Baylor last week.
So just how bad are these two
teams.-'
Well, they’ve been outscored a col
lective 121-337 by SWC foes and
show little hope of altering their los
ing ways, until this week.
Both TCU (2-5) and UH (1-6)
know their best chance for another
win this season is this game.
And both coaches wall be ready-
too bad their teams won’t be -

Rice Stadium
Houston
This is my favorite matchup of the
week.
Rice, which now fly — a.k.a pass
— only when necessary because of
quarterback Mark Comalander’s
season-ending shoulder injury, take
on the conference’s best rushing de
fense.
The Hogs, who have the deepest
and most consistent running attack
in the SWC, take on the Owls, who
possess the worst defense in the en
tire space-time continuum.
This game takes on anyone’s ar
guments of parity in the SWC and
throws them on tne trash heap with
what will remain of the RiceOwls-
Razorbacks 53, Owls 3.
