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

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.

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.

Chris Zogata and Margaret Spence,
as well as the performance of senior
Stacey Gildner.
“She was left out of the all-tourna

strong for us,” Givens said. “She hit
.400 and she led the team in digs
with 20.”

play. Since the football team is also
playing Tech, hopefully we can start
things off well by beating them.”
