More lively than lovely was this irst meeting Saturday between xinghorn coach Fred Akers and his brmer assistant, rookie Lech coach )avid McWilliams. “Football at its finest,” quipped a iress box observer after the Red (aiders blew two scoring opportuni- ies, tossed three interceptions in 13 ninutes and still led by 14-7 at half- ime. The Longhorns, committed four urnovers of their own, then struck iack with two fourth-quarter touch- owns off the arm of quarterback ret Stafford and raised a Hallow- en spectre of a winning Jeff Ward ield goal. This time the Raider defense shut own the final Texas drive at mid- ield, thanks in part to Tech line- acker Brad Hastings, who spent fliuch of the wet, foggy afternoon ^Wrecking the Longhorn offense. 1 College football’s smallest player 8-5-3,130-pound Tyrone Thurman ' of Midland Lee — returned a Texas punt 96 yards for a touchdown, a Raider record and the second long est in SWC history. “When I first caught it, I didn’t know which way to run,” said Thur man, a sophomore. “I knew if I didn’t get anything I’d get griped out when I got to the sideline.” Longhorn safety-cornerback Ste phen Braggs picked off three Tech passes in the second quarter, but Texas turned only one into points, using 35 yards in Tech penalties to do that. Tech’s Scott Segrist nailed field goals of 24, 38 and 28 yards as the Raiders turned their 14-7 halftime edge into a 23-7 cushion. “I wanted to kick against Ward and beat him,” said Segrist. “That’s what I was wishing for, for my field goal to be the winning points.” Stafford nearly spoiled the Raider party, running 20 yards for one Texas touchdown before passing 28 and 19 yards for the fourth quarter scores. The victory enhanced the 5-3 Raiders’ bowl hopes while the Long horns’ 3-4 slate is their worst in 20 years. With 2-2 records, neither team looms as a SWC title con tender. Aggies glad to get rest after big win Associated Press Defending Southwest Conference football champion Texas A&M is off next weekend and the Aggies are more than ready to give their cliff hanging act a rest. “The open spot is a big welcome,” said A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill. “Our players are spent mentally and physically.” • A&M came from 11 points behind to clip SMU 39-35 on Saturday to re main unbeaten at 5-0 in league play. In other games on Saturday, Texas Tech defeated Texas in Lub bock 23-21 as David McWilliams beat his former boss, Fred Akers; Texas Christian broke a 14-game SWC losing streak by bouncing Houston 30-14; and Arkansas crushed Rice 45-14 to remain alive in the league chase with just one loss. TCU junior halfback Tony Jeff ery, the SWC’s leading rusher, suf fered a separated clavicle in the first quarter of the Horned Frog victory. “Tony may be through for the year,” TCU Coach Jim Wacker said. A&M has a week off to get ready for its road trip to Arkansas. The Razorbacks could have two losses be fore A&M gets there because Arkan sas have to play Baylor at noon this Saturday in Waco on homecoming. Baylor had the past weekend off. In other SWC games on Saturday, Houston is at Texas, Texas Tech is at TCU and SMU is at Notre Dame. Sherrill said Murray is getting into Vinny Testaverde’s class. “Everybody talks about Testa- verde at Miami but Kevin has had a great season,” Sherrill said. SMU Coach Bobby Collins said Murray has never been better. “It’s hard to describe what Murray means to that team,” Collins said. “He’s so strong he can throw the ball with people hanging on him. You could confuse him with your de fenses a year ago. It’s hard to do that now.” Tech’s victory fueled rumors that McWilliams might go to Texas if Ak ers is fired at the end of the season. “The whole thing has been awk ward,” said McWilliams, who was Texas’ defensive coordinator last season. “There are enough distrac tions normally, but this has really made it tough. The easiest way to eliminate rumors is to just not talk about them.” The Raiders gave McWilliams the game ball.
