|\&M defense were the most points
he Aggies have ever allowed in a
binning effort. That’s even more of
*1 a tribute to the ability of this A&M
l eant —one which Sherrill calls his
k I test team ever.
“These guys can find a way to win
tetter than any team I’ve ever been
lliround,” Sherrill said. “The only
11 tther team I’ve been around like it
[ tvas the 1981 (Pittsburgh) team with
»B)an Marino. And this team is better
Iflhan that one.”
I Had A&M lost the game, Aggie
Hans would have been the first to call
9 or the referees’ heads and then call
H'or instant replay rules in college
H ootball due to a blown call.
I With 9:2b left in the second quar-
H er from the A&M 1, SMU tailback
I eff Atkins fumbled the football.
I [he ball rolled into the endzone
■ vhere Aggie cornerback Terrance
H hooks pounced on it for an appar-
H :nt touchback. But the referees said
1| he fumble occurred after Atkins
H rossed the goal line.
I However, replays clearly showed
hat Atkins was at least two yards
H fom the goal line when he lost pos-
PM ession of the football.
J| But the Aggies erased that score,
H indany draw n sabers sharpened for
Hj he officials were sheathed.
I The usually tough rushing de-
Wm ense of A&M gave up 234 yards on
9 he ground. However, a lot of credit
H hould be given to the Mustang of-
3 ense, which has a surprising
H mount of talent despite the sting of
H 4CAA probation.
I Murray, the all-time Southwest
H Conference leader in touchdown
— asses with 44, said he thought SMU
! 1 [uarterback Bobby Watters was one
If the most underrated passers in
■he conference. Watters completed
|7 of 30 passes for 173 yards and
pa
Bne touchdown.
I Murray’s statistics looked shy of
lis previous performances. But his
7-of-34 effort was hampered by
everal dropped passes by Aggie re-
eivers. Before the game-winning
oss to Woodside, Bernstine and
Voodside dropped the two previous
lasses.
The Mustangs had a chance to try
out a victory after Woodside’s
inal score. On a fourth-and-16 play
tits own 33 with 0:42 , Watters hit
ght end Albert Reese in the hands
ith the football on the pass play,
tut Reese dropped it.

sprints today. With 18 seconds left in
the game, the band struck up the
school’s fight song during Murray’s
snap count on a third down-and-8
play —a violation of SWC rules. The
yellow flags flew onto the field and
SMU was penalized 15 yards for un
sportsmanlike conduct.
A&M then just had to run out the
clock and snatch the victory.
That penalty was one of the few
breaks A&M got that day. The bad
call on Atkins’ touchdown and two
turnovers in the third quarter could
have buried the Aggies and their
hopes for a return to Dallas.
But it didn’t. Talk of Murray as a
potential Heisman candidate resur
faced after the game as he finished
with 278 yards and three touch
downs on the day. But more impor
tantly, he and the team had the char
acter to rally from a big deficit.
“We’re the defending champs,”
Murray said. “I feel like people have
to come beat us.”
Could be. But does the rest of the
SWC want to mess with destiny?
