From Staff and Wire Reports
Texas A&M and Texas appear to
be headed for a Thanksgiving night
showdown to decide the Southwest
Conference football title.
It also looks like the Cotton Bowl
guest team has already been signed,
sealed and will be delivered on Sat
urday when Notre Dame makes it
official.
Official invitations can’t go out
until next Saturday but the Cotton
Bowl officials have seen four straight
Notre Dame games.
Both A&M and Texas have one
loss each with two games left includ
ing tough tests this Saturday.
The Aggies are at Fort Worth to
meet hard-luck Texas Christian
which lost by a point to Texas Tech
two weeks ago then by three points
to the Longhorns on Saturday.
After plastering Arkansas with its
first shutout since 1983 with a 14-0
victory on Saturday, the Aggies meet
TCU in a noon (Raycom TV) clash.
Texas, a 24-21 survivor over the
Horned Frogs, hosts the Baylor
Bears in a 1 p.m. game in Austin.
Baylor outlasted Rice 34-31 in Waco
on Saturday.
Texas Tech also has a bowl bid on
the line when it meets Houston Sat
urday night in the Astrodome with
the Independence Bowl scouts in the
press box. Houston dropped
Temple 37-7 in a non-conference
game while the Red Raiders rested.
Texas A&M has a reborn quar
terback in senior Craig Stump, who
came off the bench to direct a vital
78-yard touchdown drive in the sec
ond half.
Stump threw his first touchdown
pass of the season and moved Coach
Jackie Sherrill to carry his signal
caller off the field on his shoulders.
A&M’s defense was awesome, lim
iting Arkansas to 62 yards rushing
and sacking four different quar
terbacks 10 times.
Rod Harris’ 66-yard punt return
for a score put Arkansas back on its
heels with less than four minutes
elapsed in the game before 73,000
fans in Kyle Field.
Arkansas noseguard Tony Che-
rico predicted A&M would be in the
Cotton Bowl for the third consec
utive year.
Texas was sparked by Eric Metcalf
who rushed for 203 yards and
scored two touchdowns as the Long
horns bounced back from a 60-40
humiliation by Houston two weeks
ago.

it wins the next two games. The

From the Associated Press
Although bowl bids can’t be offi
cially extended until Nov. 21, several
college football teams have an idea
of where their home for the holidays
will be.
The 13th-ranked Michigan State
Spartans know exactly where they
will be on New Year’s Day.
Seventh-ranked Notre Dame

and will reportedly play in the Cot

The Spartans beat No. 16 Indiana
27-3 on Saturday to clinch the Big 10
Conference championship and a
Rose Bowl berth.
Lorenzo White rushed 56 times
for 292 yards, both school records,
and two touchdowns to lead the
Spartans to their first Rose Bowl
berth in 22 years.
At Pasadena on Saturday, Troy
Aikman ran for one touchdown and
passed for another in a 17-point
third quarter as fifth-ranked UCLA
blew open a close game and went on
to a 47-14 victory over Washington
to remain unbeaten in the Pacific-10
Conference.

Senior flanker Tim Brown caught

reception yardage with 2,371 against
the Crimson Tide, who still have a
shot at the Sugar Bowl.
Burger completed 22 of 32 passes
and connected for touchdowns of 21
yards to Lawyer Tillman and 3 yards
to Duke Donaldson. Georgia fell to
7-3 and 4-2, and was eliminated
from the SEC title chase.
Fourth-ranked Florida State will
probably spend New Year’s Day at
the Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz.,
against the loser of the Oklahoma-
Nebraska showdown next Saturday.

Undefeated and sixth-ranked Syr
acuse rallied from a 17-0 deficit to
beat Boston College 45-17 and will
most likely play in the Sugar Bowl on
Jan. 1 against the winner of the
Southeastern Conference.
The winner of the Oklahoma-Ne-
braska game will head for the
Orange Bowl in Miami as the num
ber one team in the nation. The
most likely opponent for the Big
Eight champ is third-ranked Miami,
Fla. The Hurricanes, however, still
have to play Notre Dame and South
Carolina, so there’s still a chance an
other team — such as Syracuse —
could make it.

conference play with a perfect re
