Texas Aw Bryan, Texas 779-4751 week tice ER By Homer Jacobs Assistant Sports Editor Texas A&M’s 16-7 victory over University of Southern Missis- pi was comparable to drinking a rm beer — if you have to, you’ll eit. The Aggies took this game thanks a resurgence ^ _ ““ the swarm- SpOffS defense Analysis terrorized onents last year. layers like linebacker Johnny Hand and defensive tackle Rod dler were looking like their All erica selves. Throw in a blitzing x Morris from the strong safety ition for good measure, and the Iden Eagles could never get off ground. For that matter, the Golden Ea- s couldn’t get anything on the jund, either. A&M’s defense held Southern ssissippi to just 99 yards in total ense, 50 on the ground, while :king up seven sacks of the Golden gles for a minus 57 yards. It was a pleasure watching our Tensive team play,” A&M Coach kie Sherrill said. It wasn’t exactly a pleasure watch- the Aggie offense play in the st half, however. A&M missed several s that could have provide rtable halftime lead, such as: • An interception in the endzone own by quarterback Kevin Mur- \ on a second-and-goal play at SM’s 1-yard line. • A missed 45-yard field goal at- npt by kicker Scott Slater on i:M’s first possession. • A blocked 41-yard field goal at- mptin the second quarter. Instead, probably to the disap- intment of dating couples among 54,938 at Kyle Field, the Aggies nt into the locker room at half- tie tied at 0-0. But Sherrill said the first half was t as bad as it seemed for the Ag- opportuni- ?d a com- “I felt like we controlled the ball the whole game, we just didn’t score in the first half,” he said. “It wasn’t that they were taking it out of us, we were taking it out of ourselves.” In the third quarter, A&M began taking it out on Southern Missis sippi, with typical A&M ball-control drives. This time the drives ended with points on the scoreboard. Slater’s 27- yard field goal with 9 minutes, 36 seconds left in the third quarter gave the Aggies a 3-0 lead. On the next A&M possession, the Aggies started sending out Valen tines — as in Ira. The senior backup fullback, on a series of runs over left tackle, amassed 30 yards to set up the next A&M score. Murray hit Rod “Mr. Everywhere” Bernstine, who had eight catches in the game, for a 22- yard touchdown strike, to give the Aggies a 10-0 cushion. But Bernstine’s penalty of un sportsmanlike conduct for spiking the ball in the endzone gave the Golden Eagles good field position on the ensuing kickoff. And Aggie cor- nerback James Flowers’ pass interfe rence penalty on USM’s possession kept a sputtering Eagle drive alive, that finally ended in a Southern Mis sissippi touchdown. “There’s no question the penalty on the kickoff and the pass interfer ence kept them in the ball game,” Sherrill said. When Slater added two more field goals, including a 48-yard kick late in the fourth quarter, the Aggies sealed the win. Holland said the job by the A&M defensive line was as the key to the victory. “They were controlling the line of scrimmage,” Holland said. “That’s what a football game is all about.” One week the A&M defense sput ters and the next week the offense struggles. It must be the kicking gamers turn against Texas Tech this Saturday. Photo by Tom Ownbey A&M’s Rod Harris (17) goes high in the endzone, but won’t come down with the football during Saturday’s game. If A&M can ever get all three phases of the game working consis tently, good things should happen to the Aggies. Maybe this week’s game with the Red Raiders will be more like drink ing beer out of a frosted mug — nice and refreshing. ection 79-7910 Top Twenty Action How Tho AP Top Twenty college football teams fared Saturday: No. 1, Oklahoma (2-1-0) lost to No. 2 Miami 28-16.

Rollie White Coliseum against Texas Tech. Givens said he hopes to have a good home crowd on hand for the match. “Tech plays tough,” he said. “We need a really good home crowd to help us start off well in conference play. Since the football team is also playing Tech, hopefully we can start things off well by beating them.” r GATE ffet ATTENTION ALL V V SkRtllK I Check your boxes for a copy of the 1987 Aggieland yearbook contract.
