Sherrill says Ags will need discipline
By Homer Jacobs
Assistant Sports Editor
Texas A&M’s televised game with
Houston should be a three-“D” af
fair.
For the Aggies, it’ll be “D” as in
discipline on defense in the Dome
when the game kicks off at 12:04
p.m. Saturday on Raycom TV.
At least that’s what A&M Coach
Jackie Sherrill said at his weekly
press conference Tuesday.
Last week, Sherrill said A&M
could play more reckless defense
against Texas Tech because' of the
Red Raiders’ pass-oriented game
plan.
This week the Aggies will face
Coach Bill Yeoman’s traditional veer
offense that will require Aggie de
fensive players to “stay home” in
their assigned zones.
“We’re going to have to discipline
ourselves a lot more,” Sherrill said.
Sherrill said he does not want a re
peat of last year’s game at Kyle Field
when the Cougars took a 9-0 lead af
ter the Aggies made some early mis
takes.
“We’re going to have to be more
consistent and certainly start out bet
ter offensivley,” Sherrill said.
In a telephone hookup with local
media Tuesday, Yeoman said his
team will have problems with the
Aggies if Houston continues its er
ror-prone ways.
“(A&M is) blessed with tons of
good football players,” he said.
“They’ve got an excellent football
team. We can’t go around turning
the football over, or we won’t have
any chance at all.”
However, Houston may have a
better chance than people might
think, because history is on the Cou
gars’ side — A&M hasn’t won in the
Astrodome since 1952.
“We’re just probably a little luck
ier there than any other places,”
Yeoman said.
Sherrill said Houston may not be
the biggest team the Aggies face this
season, but the Cougars more than

make up for their shortcomings with
speed.
Houston’s largest player on the
defensive front weighs in the 240-
250-pound range, while A&M’s of
fensive line has the likes of a 340
pounder in right tackle Marshall
Land and a 285 pounder in left
tackle Louis Cheek.
“You’d probably rather play a
team that’s big and can’t move,
rather than a team that can move,”
Sherrill said.
He said Houston’s defense is
known for an intensity that’s present
on every snap.
“They play well because the chem
istry is there,” Sherrill said. “They’re
excited to play-’’
Could there he a problem with the
Aggies looking ahead to the show
down with Ba)Jor?
“We’re not, and I don’t think Bay
lor is, either,” Sherrill said.
Sherrill was definitely pleased
with the development of the kicking
game so far this year.
“I feel good about our kide

Trade works for Hernandez
HOUSTON (AP) — When Keith
Hernandez was traded from the St.
Louis Cardinals to the New York
Mets, he cried.
The Cardinals had won the World
Series the year before; the Mets had
been last in the National League
East.
At the time, Hernandez never
would have believed that, three
years later, he would have another
chance to be in a World Series.
“I was pretty down. I didn’t like
the idea of the trade at all,” said Her
nandez, who was obtained by the
Mets on June 15, 1983 in a deal that
sent pitcher Neil Allen to St. Louis.
“Who could have guessed?
“Here was a club that lost 90
games six or seven years in a row, a
team that was in fifth and sixth place
six or seven years in a row. And they
turned it around to win 90 games,
then 98 and now, 108 this year.”
The Mets, champions of the NL
East, take baseball’s best record, 108-
54, into the first game of the best-of-
seven NL playoffs Wednesday night
against the Houston Astros, who
won the NL West with a 96-66 re
cord, best in their history.
Dwight Gooden, 17-6, will start
Game One for the Mets, with Mike
Scott, 18-10, going for Houston.
“They’ve got a great club, and Da-
vey Johnson has done a great job as
manager,” Astros Manager Hal Lan
ier said. “But we’ve had a pretty
good season, too. We were in a fight
to win our division, and I’ve got to be
pretty satisfied with the way things
turned out.”
Both clubs finished the season
with five-game winning streaks. The
Mets clinched their title on Sept. 17
and won 14 of their final 18 games.
1 he Astros clinched on Sept. 25
when Scott pitched a no-hitter to
beat San Francisco 2-0. The no-hit
ter came in a stretch during w’hich
the Astros won six of eight games, all
by shutouts.
Bob Knepper, Lanier’s Game
Three starter, made his final tuneup
for the playoffs by pitching five per
fect innings against Atlanta before
being taken out in Sunday’s season
finale.
The Mets third-game starter, Ron
Darling, combined with Sid Fernan
dez on a four-hitter to shut out Pitts
burgh on closing day.
While the Astros’ pitching staff
finished on an up-note, it was the
Mets’ hitting that got hot as the regu
lar season ended. Darryl Strawberry,
Gary Carter and Ray Knight hit
home runs in the 9-0 finale.
