from the Veterr®
lut Sherrill did say that playing in
Jackie Sherrill
Tiger Stadium at night would be a
concern.
“It’s a different atmosphere there
from playing during the day to play
ing at night,” Sherrill said. “The last
time I played during the day was in
1965 (under Coach Paul “Bear” Bry
ant’s Alabama squad). Coach Bryant
wouldn’t play them unless it was
during the day.”
When asked how Bryant could
dictate to LSU when they would
plav, Sherrill replied, “Coach Bryant
could dictate a lot of things.”
Explaining further, Sherrill said,
“Any excitement that happens at
night is magnified. It’s like watching
a runner during the day and then at
night. At night it looks like he can
run faster.”
While Sherrill said he expects the
“Tiger Pit” to be at least as noisy as
last year’s opener at Alabama, he
doesn’t think it will affect his team
the way it did at Alabama.
“I think the fans are more in
volved (in being aware of the noise)
than the players,” Sherrill said. It’s
going to be as loud for the Louisiana
State players as it will be for ours.
“We have a lot of mature players.
If you don’t have mature players,
the noise can affect you. The only
questions we have is how it will affect
our freshmen.”
The maturity and experience of
the LSU defense is not in question.
The Tiger defense returns 10
starters and Sherrill compares them
to the Alabama squad the Aggies
faced last year.
“They have a good linebacker in
(All-America Michael) Brooks; he’s a
lot like (Alabama’s) Cornelius Ben
nett,” Sherrill said. “LSU’s second
ary is better than Alabama’s, and
you’re looking at a defense with kids
that have started an average of two-
and-a-half years.

Ag volleyball team needs
5 games to down SWTSU
By Danny Myers
Sports Writer
Although not all the fans re
ceived a promotional plant at the
Texas A&M home volleyball
opener Tuesday night, they did
get to see the Aggies extend their
unbeaten streak.
The Aggies improved their re
cord to 4-0 with a 15-4, 11-15, 15-
8, 11-15, 15-11 win over South
west Texas State University on
“Plant Night,” in G. Rollie White
Coliseum.
There was some sloppy play by
the Aggies — especially on the
service — but senior middle
blocker Margaret Spence, who
led A&M with 28 kills, didn’t sell
SWTSU short.
“They’re a scrappy team,” she
said. “We were expecting a little
less, but they showed us some
thing.”
A&M Head Coach A1 Givens
said he saw some positive things
Tuesday, but he also saw some
things that needed work.
“If we would have had a cake
walk over Southwest we wouldn’t
have learned anything. I think we
learned a lesson tonight,” he said.
It looked like SWTSU would
be a fine-tuning match for the
Aggies after the first game, but
the Bobcats came roaring back in
second and played tough the rest
of the way.
In the final game the Aggies
took an 8-3 lead, but SWTSU
came back to tie it at 11.
Then, with the crowd scream
ing and on its feet, the Bobcats
blew three serves and the Aggies
then took the last four points.
Givens said he thinks the
crowd had a lot to do with the Ag
gies winning the last game.
“We need to develop our killer
instinct,” he said.
“When you get them down,
you need to finish them off.”
One of the high points for
A&M other than Spence, was the
play of senior setter Chris Zogata,
Givens said.
“I’m real pleased with the lead-

ership Chris has given the team,”
he said.
Given’s new playing style fea
tures, only one setter instead of
the two used in previous years.
Zogata said she likes the new
style better because she likes be
ing in control.
She said she is more confident
than she was last year.
“I’m getting a lot more positive
feedback than I was last year, so
I’m definitely more confident,”
Zogata said.
