Murray overcomes troubles rs
to become one of the best m
Pa
By Homer Jacobs
Assistant Sports Editor
Call him the Comeback Kid.
Texas A&M quarterback Kevin
Murray has made a habit of over
coming just _
about every- Viewpoint
thing that’s
been thrown at him.
Injuries. Allegations. 17-0 deficits.
You name it . . . Murray has
whipped it.
When Murray had his ankle bent
over backward while diving for the
end zone in 1984 against Arkansas
State, many thought nis playing days
were over. Murray had other ideas.
Even though his ankle still is held
together with pins, and his 4.4 speed
in the 40-yard dash has slipped a bit,
Murray is on the verge of a record-
breaking season.
With one more touchdown pass,
Murray will become the all-time
leading Southwest Conference quar
terback in that category with 41.
And he still has another year left
of eligibility.
After the injury problems, came
the hoopla last year by WFAA-TV in
Dallas about his alleged illegal car
lease.
The untimely allegations oc
curred just before the Aggies made
their first Cotton Bowl appearance
in 17 years.
Murray said he was a fighter and
would not let the media affect his
play.
He was right.
In leading A&M to a 36-16 victory
over Auburn, Murray adeptly threw
for a Cotton Bowl record 292 yards,
besting the likes of Roger Staubach
and Joe Theismann, who are consid
ered Cotton Bowl immortals.
Even though Murray was unjustly
denied the Most Valuable Player
award in that game, he was pro
pelled onto the national scene as a
Heisman Trophy hopeful for 1986.
Expectations were high this sea
son tor Murray and the Aggies.
When A&M stumbled against Loui
siana State, the criticism of his abili
ties resurfaced and the national rec
ognition submerged.
A&M coach Jackie Sherrill says
the expectation factor is the cause of
Murray’s “no respect” stigma.
"If the first game of the year
(LSU) had been different, then Ke
vin would be getting a lot of recogni
tion, Sherrill said. “But it wasn’t.
“So consequently we didn't beat
LSU because Kevin didn’t play well.
"Well, that’s not true at all. Kevin
played well.
"It was that we didn’t play well
around him.’’
Then came the game that all Ag
gies had been waiting for all year —
the game when Murray would come
back and unleash on some team.
And how appropriate that the
game was against Baylor, the last

Sherrill: Ags close to expectations
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
Everybody has expectations.
While Texas A&M coach Jackie
Sherrill sees his team beginning to
meet his expectations, Rice football
coach Jerry Berndt has been disap
pointed.
At Sherrill’s press conference
Tuesday, Sherrill said the biggest
improvement for the Aggies in its
31-30 win Saturday over Baylor was
the consistent play by the front line
on offense and defense.
He said the offensive line did a
good job in protecting quarterback
Kevin Murray. He also said the
group of left end Rod Saddler, right
end Jay Muller and nose guard
Sammy O’Brient definitely played
physical football.
But Sherrill said the team can’t
dwell on last week’s success.
"Well, of course that’s behind us.
Everybody's asking the same ques
tion, ‘Can you keep them mentally
up?’ I think our football team is one
that’s been around. . . . Each week is
a different challengi
game."
"Sometimes the
overrated and you
into it because you
your opponent ins
yourselves. It doesn’t do us any good
to play our opponent if we’re not ex
ecuting (plays properly).”
For Berndt, the Owls, now 2-4,
didn’t play the kind of game he
wanted as his team had seven turn
overs in their 49-21 loss to Texas
Tech. The teams were tied 21-21 af
ter three quarters before Tech began
its scoring binge to bury Rice.

Brothers ploy for A&M, Baylor
Berry family has divided loyaltie
COLLEGE STATION (AP) — In
1983, Baylor tied Texas A&M 13-13
in Waco, and among the 40,000 at
the game, probably the only fans
who went home happy were the
Powell Berrys of Abilene.
Their son Greg was a linebacker
for the Aggies and another son, Ray,
was a linebacker for Baylor.
Saturday, the Berrys, along with
23 other relatives, mostly former
Aggies, sat in Kyle Field watching
another Baylor-A&M confrontation
and again, it was hard for them to
show their emotions.
Ray Berry is still linebacking for
Baylor, while his brother. Dean, is a
member of the A&M 12th man team
used on kickoffs.
The Berry clan once again had to
swallow their Aggie pride and not
yell for one team. The only way
some could see the game was to get
tickets from Baylor and sit on the
Bears’ side of the stadium. It’s not as
easy to root for the Aggies there.
Grandparents’ L..A. and Hazel
Berry of Snyder got to sit on the win
ning side because Dean got their
tickets.
It probably wasn’t easy for Ray to
get the other tickets, knowing how
deep the Aggie blood flows in the
family.
Yet, his father, Powell Berry, se
cretly hoped the Aggies’ Scott Slater
would miss the extra point with 3:48
left.
“That would have been perfect
for us,” Powell said, but Slater made
it and the Aggies won, 31-30, mak
ing the partisan crowd of over
74,000 happy.
“My brother (Phil) went to Texas
Tech and of course, Ray is at Baylor.
Otherwise, most members of the
family on my side and my wife’s side
went to A&M,” Powell said.
The relatives came from Snyder,
Fort Worth, Houston, Liberty, Cor
pus Christi and of course, Abilene.
“Being an Aggie, I had to stand
and sing the Aggie War Hymn, but I
also sang the Baylor fight song, too,”
Powell said.
The most popular relative was
Tim Mebane of Snyder, whose shirt
had "Ray Berry, Baylor University”
written in green on the back and
“Dean, Texas A&M,” on front. Oth
ers wanted one.
Frankly, Ray’s mother is glad the
brothers won’t be playing against
each other any more although Dean
has one more year. Ray doesn’t.
“We yelled for Dean when he was
in there on the kickoffs and we

Baylor senior linebacker Ray Berry (57) has two big ties to W-

she said. “It’s been an exciting week

going to see friends and relatives.”
When Ray was in high school at
Abilene Cooper, he was recruited by
then A&M coach Tom Wilson. But,
Wilson was fired and when Jackie
Sherrill came in, Berry was not as
high on the list.
By the time Ray’s name came up,
the Aggies were out of scholarships.

Powell also knew the Teaff f amily.
Teaff recruited Ray and won a

best linebacker he’s ever coached.
No. 1 is Mike Singletary, now with
the Chicago Bears in the NFL.
Ironically, Greg’s wife Carrie
graduated from Baylor and no
doubt, she had a strong feeling for
Ray on Saturday. Deep down inside,
so did all the relatives.
“I didn’t know much about Baylor
