Sherrill says Ags in good shape
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
The weather was great Monday . .
. inside.
And inside the Texas A&M Physi
ology Research and Conditioning
Lab was just fine as the Southwest
Conference press tour made its an
nual stop at A&M.
But weather — good weather —
had A&M Football Coach Jackie
Sherrill pleased as he began his dis
cussion of the 1986 Aggies.
“The weather has cooperated very
well,” Sherrill said, “meaning that we
haven’t had a lot of those 100(de-
gree)-plus days. ... So what that al
lowed us to do is hit more, practice
longer and go through a period of
conditioning.
“There’s only so much condition
ing you can do at 100-plus degree
temperatures every day and the
body gets fatigued.”
Sherrill said the players returned
in good condition, and added that
the two-a-day workouts and scrim
mages which the team completed
last week went well.
“The players are kind of fitting to
gether right now,” he said. “We’re
trying to fill the gaps, fill the holes.
From now on, we’re trying to im
prove on the things we’ve done well
and eliminate some of the things
we’ve not done well.”
The Aggies did lose one player
during two-a-days. Layne Polocheck,
who was to be the Aggies’ backup
noseguard, hurt his knee on an in
side drill last week and had to un
dergo reconstruction surgery. Polo-
check will be lost for the year.
To make up for the loss of Polo-
check, Sherrill said sophomore O’N
eill Gilbert was moved from de
fensive end to noseguard to back up
Sammy O’Brient.
Sherrill said the front defensive
seven will be a strong spot for A&M
this fall, especially at the linebacker

positions, but a young secondary will
be a concern.
Offensively, Sherrill said the Ag
gies have good experience at the skill
positions (quarterback, running
backs and receivers), although they
could use one or two more receivers
and running backs. The biggest
worry at the time on the offensive
line is finding a replacement for
Doug Williams at right tackle.
When asked if he felt the Aggies
or any team could dominate the
SWC, Sherrill replied, “Not this con
ference. Those days are gone.
There’s too many good players.”
Sherrill said the wealth of talent
throughout the SWC will keep the
Aggies from taking any team too
lightly. With a lot of teams gunning
for the Aggies and a tougher sched
ule this year, Sherrill said it will be
tough to repeat as SWC champions.
And even with the talk of a possi
ble national championship, Sherrill
said his players are not the type to let
that hype go to their heads.

A&M offensive machine gears for ’81
By Homer Jacobs
Assistant Sports Editor
Kevin Murray looked intense.
You could almost see LSU game
films rolling in the whites of his eyes.
Talk of a national championship
or Heisman hype didn’t figure in
Murray’s mind. It was “Taking Care
of Business,” Act II.
Murray’s attitude was typical to
that of the Texas A&M offensive
players who spoke to media rep
resentatives at the annual Southwest
Conference press tour Monday.
Pledging to take the season one
snap at a time, the Aggie offensive
arsenal expects to be even more po
tent than last year’s SWC record-set
ting group.
A&M Football Coach Jackie Sher
rill said the Aggie players in the
skilled positions could line up and
play today — especially Murray.
“Kevin Murray is throwing the
ball better now than ever before,”
Sherrill said.
According to Sherrill and Aggie
players, Murray has gotten stronger
and even put more ‘zip’ on the ball.
A&M Offensive Coordinator
Lynn Amedee said Murray’s greatest
progression as a quarterback has
come in his ability to read different
defenses.
“In two-a-days, he (Murray) threw
the ball as well as I’ve seen anyone
throw in a long time,” Amedee said.
Amedee and Sherrill have worked
with the likes of Dan Marino, Matt
Cavanaugh, David Woodley and Ai-
chie Manning in previous coaching
campaigns.
Sherrill said if the Aggie offensive
machine is to crank up and cruise to
Dallas again in January, the team
needs a little help from its bulldozer
— Marshall Land.
The senior right tackle that
weighs in at about 350 pounds has
seen only limited action (17 snaps),
so he’s the real question mark in an
offensive line that lost three starters
from the 1985 squad.
With an inexperienced Land and
backup in Frank Case, the Aggies
are hoping a solid inside tandem of
Matt Wilson at center, Trace Mc
Guire at left guard andJerrvFo
not at light guard will lead to sue
for the of fensive unit. Junior It
Cheek w ill occupy the left tacklt
for the Aggies.

Aggie defense boasts ‘magnificent 7
By Danny Myers
Sports Writer
The Texas A&M defense was the
stingiest in the Southwest Confer
ence in 1985, and it plans to be even
less generous in 1986.
Right outside linebacker Todd
Howard said the Aggies have a goal
of giving up an average of only 250
yards per game, compared to their
league-leading 281.9 yards per game
last season.
“Our front seven is probably one
of the best in the nation,” consensus
All-America linebacker Johnny Hol
land said at the SWC press tour con
ference Monday.
The down linemen are stronger
than they were last year and the line
backers are playing more intelligent,
he said.
The top six tacklers on the ’85
squad — linebackers Larry Kelm,
Holland, Howard, defensive ends
Jay Muller, Rod Saddler and
noseguard Sammy O’Brient — re
turn to the defensive line.
Head Coach Jackie Sherrill had
nothing but praise for his front
seven, which now includes left out
side linebacker John Roper, who
had seven tackles in the Cotton
Bowl.
A lot of praise went out to Hol
land.
“I think Johnny (Holland) has
been the best linebacker in the
league for the last two years,” he
said.
“What’s amazing about Johnny is
his size. He’s bigger now than he’s
ever been. For the last two years,
when Holland hit somebody he
stopped them,” Sherrill said. “This
year he’s going to stand up offensive
guards and offensive linemen.”
he’s much stronger than he wail
season.
Sherrill also said he expects/
play from Muller, whohadaseas 1
high 19 tackles against Arkansasl
season.
Kelm, who broke his arm in
spring training earlier this year, is
back to full strength, Sherrill said,
while Howard and Roper have had
impressive practices.
Sherrill said he expects solid play
from O’Brient, who was the most im
proved player during spring train
ing this year in addition to good two-
a-day practices.
Saddler, a preseason first-team
All-America pick by Playboy, said
The weakness of the A&M
fense is its lack of depth at the
ondary positions, Sherrill said
