Bottled for World Wide Distilled Products Company By Beverage Concepts, St Louis, Mo 63108 15 Proof Sports A&M defense dogs hapless Huskies Pavlas, Woodside lead A8dVI offensive attack Astr By Loyd Brumfield Sports Editor Red-shirt freshman quarterback Lance Pavlas may have a promising future ahead of him, but it was the 11 players on defense who were the real Supermen in Texas A&M’s 29- 12 romp over lOth-ranked Washing ton Saturday at Kyle Field. Give the de- fense credit for A&M’s surpris- ingly-easy win over the pre- Analysis viously unbeaten Huskies. Washing ton dropped to 2-1 with the loss while A&M improved to 1-1. All the defense did was fold, spin dle and mutilate Heisman Trophy- hopeful Chris Chandler, the Wash ington quarterback. Chandler Fin ished the day completing only 11 of 31 passes, including only two in the second half. He was sacked four times, twice as many times as he was caught during the entire 1986 sea son. Texas A&M safety Chet Brooks said, “(LSU’s) Hodson had more poise in the pocket. “Chandler, if you give him pressure, gets a little rattled. He doesn’t have that poise . . . you can’t win the Heisman on your back.” Indeed, Chandler’s chances for the Heisman may also have been sacked Saturday. He finished with only 120 passing yards to his credit, the worst outing of his career. The Huskies finished with a lowly 173 to tal yards. A&M’s blitz destroyed the Husky offense. Linebackers John Roper and Aaron Wallace were in the Washington backfield more than the Huskies were. Brooks, safety Kip Corrington and linebacker Dana Batiste led the way defensively with eight tackles each. Actually, the offense could have stayed home and watched the game on ESPN. It struggled for the second game in a row, although it did im prove from a terrible 229-yard ef fort against LSU to a not-quite-as- terrible 265-yard output against Washington. The defense caused four Husky fumbles (three of which A&M recov ered), so the offense never had to go far for its scores, with the exception of its second possession of the game.

A&M Fullback Matt Gurley scored two plays later when he dove over the goal line. The Huskies came back on a 47- yard field goal by SMU transfer Brandy Brownlee, who would pro vide Washington with its only method of scoring for the entire game. Stump had a terrible day in his second start of the season. He fin ished the day with an 0-for-3 passing performance, all three of which were way off target. Pavlas replaced him at the beginning of the second quarter and went the rest of the way, completing 13-of-19 for 83 yards and one interception. Pavlas threw his first touchdown pass of the season late in the second quarter when he hit freshman re ceiver Percy Waddle, who made a leaping catch in intense coverage for Pavlas’ 7-yard toss. It was also Wad dle’s first collegiate touchdown, and it upped the Aggies' lead to 14-6. The longest A&M scoring drive following the first one was 12 yards. Besides causing the fumbles, the de fense partially blocked a Brownlee punt, and played a big part in mes sing up another. In the third quarter, with A&M defenders swarming all over him, Brownlee punted into the back of Husky fullback Aaron Jenkins. A&M safety Lafayette Turner scooped up the ball and ran into the end zone to increase A&M’s lead to 21-12.

SWC goes 5-1, improves on tarnished stature From Staff and Wire Reports The Southwest Conference has regained some lost face, and, after two humiliating weeks, the league has something to boast about. Texas A&M mastered a Top Ten team by blasting Washington 29-12, Arkansas ripped Tulsa 30-15, Texas Christian stunned Brigham Young 33-12, Texas Tech bashed Lamar University 43-19, and Baylor sur vived Nevada-Las Vegas 21-14. In the SWC’s only loss Saturday, Louisiana State downed Rice 49-16. The league is now 9-10 against outside competition. The Aggies’ victory over Wash ington was the SWC’s first victory in five tries over a Top Ten club. The A&M defense throttled Washington quarterback Chris Chandler, sacking him four times and keeping him off balance with a constant blitz. “We beat a great team,” said Texas A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill. “We beat a team that could be in the Rose Bowl this year.” Sherrill said “the defense played extremely well. We used our quick ness to defeat their size. I didn’t rill said. “Lance is a young man with a lot of talent.” Arkansas remained the SWC’s only unbeaten team by coasting to victory over Tulsa.

I believe that’s the worst he’s ever done.” Chandler was only sacked twice all of the 1986 season and hadn’t been sacked in victories over Purdue and Stanford. Redshirt freshman quarterback Lance Pavlas of Tomball completed 13 of 19 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown as the Aggies dominated the Huskies at the line of scrimmage. “Craig Stump wasn’t on target and that’s why I took him out,” Sher- “Miami’s defense is awesome” said Arkansas Coach Ken Hatfield. “It should be really exciting. It will be a great opportunity for our football team. ” Texas A&M will play Southern Missisippi injackson, Miss., at 1 p.m. Texas Tech and Baylor open the SWC regular season when the Bears host the Red Raiders at noon (Ray- com TV) on Saturday at Baylor Sta dium.
