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.
On that series, tailback Keith
Woodside took a pitch from starting

quarterback Craig Stump and ran 77
yards with it before he was brought
down at the Washington 3-yard line
by cornerback Art Malone. 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.
Woodside finished with 90 yards
on the day and was also A&M’s lead

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

Chandler was only sacked twice all

Redshirt freshman quarterback
Lance Pavlas of Tomball completed
13 of 19 passes for 83 yards and a

the Huskies at the line of scrimmage.
