‘Hard way’ victory pleases JH <
Sherrill as SWC play nean iron
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
Texas A&M beat Southern Missis
sippi last Saturday the hard way —
just like Coach Jackie Sherrill
wanted. 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."

Baylor free safety Everett named week's defensive playei 1*“^
DALLAS (AP) — When Bobby
Watters came to Southern Methodist
as a freshman three years ago, it was
during the days of “The Pony Ex
press.”
It was Reggie Dupard and Jeff At
kins off guard, tackle and around
end. 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

sive Player of the Week.

AP’s Defensive Player of the Week
for the second time this season.

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.
