reason. Hopefully for A&M, he and the centers
can get their act together.
And dare we say it — the 12th Man Kick-off
Team looked less than spectacular in its season
opener.
Kicker Layne Talbot consistently kicked away
from the dangerous Tyrone Thurman, resulting
in no returns for touchdowns at the price of
consistently strong field position. A&M may not
be able to get away with it every week.
Will these weaknesses be enough to dethrone
the Aggies? Time will tell, of course, but the early
season would seem to indicate not.
The days of perennial national-championship
contenders in the SWC are gone — everyone
knows that. But it seems rare lately to even have a
conference team in the Top 20.
The reason is obvious: The conference is
simply not that good.
We got a load of PR garbage from some SWC
coaches before the season about the best football
in the country being in the Southwest
Conference. The obvious truth is, quite frankly,
embarrassing.
A&M may win the SWC, but it’s not because
the Aggies are world-beaters. Remember, this is
the team that got shellacked in Baton Rouge, La.
by a team that conceivably could lose three games
in conference this year.
Where’s the competition coming from then?
Rice is only slightly stronger than Southern
Methodist. Baylor, with two quick losses bef ore
Texas Christian had scored a touchdown in
conference play, has quickly silenced the
doubters about the Bears’ incompetence.
TCU is’well on its way to solidifying its
stranglehold on the George Steinbrenner
Memorial We-Waste-More-Talent-Than-Most-
Teams-Ever-See Award. Jim Wacker may be
spending next spring training as the outside
linebacker coach under Gerry Faust at the
University of Akron.
lech obviously has the arsenal to cause
problems for practically everybody. But let's!*
it: A 50-15 loss is no accident. At least the
had a plethora of turnovers to take the blamefc
their fiasco at Oklahoma State.
Texas has a lot of talent, but the Longhorn
secondary is appallingly impotent. The school
record for passing yardage yielded already has
been broken twice this year — most recently!))
Division 1-AA North Texas, for crying out loui
Could the Horns possibly ground Air Tolliver
when it barely got past Rice?
T hat leaves Arkansas and Houston —both
largely untested. There is no reason to start
questioning consensus preseason opinionsoni
basis of wins over perennial powers Louisiana
Tech and the University of the Pacific. The Hi*
have no passing, and the Coogs have nodefen#
Proof to the contrary is still to be seen.

other and about the exciting programs offered by TAMU Outdoors.

more likely to take advantage of it.”
