Aggies sprint past f iesty Frogs
as Lewis makes strong showing
By Tammy Hedgpeth
Sports Writer

Reporter
FORT WORTH — Texas A&M
lost the battle against Texas Chris
tian but won the war.
Despite fum- _______________
hies, intercep- AfldlVSlS
tions, injuries
and penalties,
A&M downed
the Horned Frogs 42-24 Saturday at
Amon Carter Stadium.
The Aggies fumbled the ball two
times and were penalized six times,
once on a play that nullified Darren
Lewis’ 72-yard touchdown run.
To add to the troubles, Craig
Stump threw three interceptions
and tackle Tony Bartley was side
lined in the second quarter with an
apparent neck injury.
Although Lewis played with a sore
shoulder, he had the right ammuni
tion to gain a career-high 194 yards.
Lewis’ efforts moved him into sec
ond place on A&M’s freshman rush
ing chart with 655 yards, but Lewis
said he is not concerned with statis
tics.
“I’m just happy to be able to come
in as a freshman and make an im
pact on the team,” he said.
Lewis had runs of 35, 46, 80 and
72 yards, two of which were touch
downs. The 72-yard run was called
back on a careless tripping penalty.
Lewis was granted a second op
portunity for a long yardage play
when he had a fumble bounce back
to him on the way to an 80-yard
touchdown.
“I missed the ball but it came right
back up to me,” Lewis said. “The
blocking was there and I saw day
light. Maybe Shelby (Metcalf, A&M
basketball coach) can use me. I can
play a little basketball too.” he said of
his dribbled carry. •
Stump also made an impact in his
first complete game since 1984.
The passing game was reincar
nated, but for Stump, every pass was
an adventure.
Stump, who unloaded for 175
yards, threw three interceptions
along with several up-for-grabs balls
that must have had Aggie fans cring
ing.

fault because I tried to force the ball

A&M’s Darren Lewis outruns TCU’s David Spradlin on the way to his 72-yard touchdown run that was later
negated by an Aggie penalty. Lewis later scored on an 80-yard jaunt and had 194 yards rushing on the day.
in there,” Stump said. “The other
one I was hit from behind as I was
throwing the ball. The guy was open
and I wanted to get it over his head,
but I didn’t get it where I wanted it.
“The third one was a deep route
before the half and I decided to
throw it and it ended up being like a
punt. One of them I’ll take credit
for; it was a bad throw.”
Lewis and Stump were not the
only impact players. Junior Rod
Harris had perhaps the best game of
his career.
Harris recorded five receptions
for 119 yards. However, the split
end fumbled punt return in the first
half that resulted in a TCU touch
down.
A&M’s story of a strong defense
and a weak offense had an exciting
plot. The “Wrecking Crew” took an
extra long lunch break allowing
TCU to rack up the first points of
the game without the services of star
running back Tony Jeffery. That
was just the beginning.
TCU went on to take a 14-10 half
time lead and rushed for 241 yards,
the most the Aggie defense has
given up all season.
TCU tailback Tony Darthard
cruised for a 56-yard touchdown,
the longest run of the season against
the A&M defense, rated No. 5 in the
nation. The Aggies gave up a 46-
yard gainer against Southern Missis
sippi.
Darthard finished the game with
154 yards rushing. Only Kimble
Anders of Houston was able to top
the 100 yard mark against A&M this
season.
TCU also had 19 first downs to
the Aggies’ 13.
Strong safety Chet Brooks said he
might nave underestimated the
TCU team.
“I’m overwhelmed that we won,"
Brooks said. “We didn’t play as well
as we should have.
“TCU is underrated offensively.
They are one of the best 5-6 teams in
the nation. They are a better team
than people are saying they are. In
the near future they will be some
body to reckon with.”
As he walked toward the bus fol
lowing the game, the normally exu
berant Brooks said, “I’m sore and
I’m tired. I don’t want to see Fort
Worth anymore in my life. I’m sick
of Fort Worth.”
Aggie frosh tops list of SWC’s superlative performances
DAZZLIN’ DARREN — Texas
A&M freshman running back Dar
ren Lewis rushed for 194 yards on
16 carries. He had touchdown runs
of 35 and 80 yards and had a 70 yard
scoring run called back on a penalty.
ERIC THE GREAT — Texas tail
back Eric Metcalf gained 216 yards
in all-purpose offense. He returned
a punt 59 yards for a touchdown.
scored twice on runs, and caught a
pass for a two-point conversion in a
34-16 victory over Baylor.
STRANGER ON THE BENCH
— Baylor was penalized 15 yards be
cause of the action of an unidenti
fied spectator on the Bears’ bench
during the Texas game. “We didn’t
know who the guy was or where he
got a sideline pass,” said Baylor
Coach Grant Teaff.
DARTHARD’S DAY — TCU
running back Tony Darthard’s 154
yards rushing was the most surren
dered by Texas A&M to an individ
ual this year.
QUOTE OF THE DAY — It be
longs to Texas Tech defensive end
James Moseley after the Red Raiders
Waited in vain for an Independence
Bowl bid following a 10-10 tie with
Houston: “The way I see it is, you
apply for a job and the bossman says
‘Don’t call us, we’ll call you,’ and he
never calls you. We’ll just watch the
game over the holiday.”
BLOCK PARTY — Baylor
blocked two field goals and two extra
points yet lost to Texas.
