Sort of. Sherrill, at his weekly press con ference Tuesday said, “I certainly was happy to see our players have a lot of fun. It was a game won the hard way. . . .- That’s the kind of game they’ll remember a lot more (than the lopsided victory over North Texas State).” The play of the A&M’s defense, which held USM to 99 yards of total offense in the Aggies’ 16-7 win, was reminiscient of last year’s Southwest Conference-leading squad. “Our football team is very physical when you let them fly,” Sherrill said. “When you let them go full speed and splatter (the opposing players), you’ll make things happen.” But Sherrill said he’s still con cerned with the offense’s lack of scoring. “Offensively we need to im prove ourselves in the red zone —in side the 30 (-yard line),” Sherrill said. “I’ve been pleased with how we move the ball, but we should have put 17, 24 points on the board (in the first half against Southern Mis sissippi). We’ve been making mis takes and missing assignments when we get in the red zone/’ And the offense will need to im prove as A&M opens its SWC season Saturday at Kyle Field when it takes on Texas Tech. The Aggies have only beaten the Red Raiders once during Sherrill’s tenure. The win was last year’s 28-27 victory, when Texas Tech failed a two-point con version try in the final seconds. The offense could be bolstered by the return of Aggie fullback Roger Vick, who Sherrill said would start Saturday. Vick missed the Southern Mississippi game after he dislocated a Finger against North Texas State. The Red Raiders always seem to play A&M tough, a fact Sherrill said the Aggies are well aware of. “These kids have two knots (losses to Texas Tech) on their heads," he said, “while (Texas Tech) only has one. “They (the Aggies) don’t want it to get lopsided."

The Mustangs lived by the run and nobody could stop it. SMU also had somebody who could hand off, throw an occasional pass, and do some excellent running in the slippery Don King. Watters had to watch and learn for two years. It’s Watters’ team now and “The Pony Express” has been replaced by a more balanced attack which fea tures the fine throwing arm of the junior from Garland. Watters showed what he could do Saturday in the Mustangs’ 31-21 vic tory over Texas Christian in the Cot ton Bowl. He hit 11 of 18 passes for 187 yards, two touchdowns, ran for an other score, and took the Mustangs on four long touchdown drives. The performance earned him The Associated Press SWC Offen sive Player of the Week. Baylor’s Thomas Everett was The AP’s Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season. Cowboys’ 3 It over the alever I arr The Bears’ free safety intercepted two passes, broke up two more passes, made 1 1 tackles, and hit Texas Tech quarterback Billy Joe Tolliver on a blitz that forced a short throw returned for a touchdown by Aaron Grant. The Bears won 45-14. Everett was honored on the open ing week of the season for a spar kling performance against Wyom ing. Watters completed eight consec utive passes during one stretch. After the game, Watters dwelled more on his lone interception than he did on his sparking performance. “I was trying to put some touch on the ball but it slipped out of my said.
