A&M flies past Owls 24-10
Rice clock-erasing game plan fails to halt Ags
By Cray Pixley
Assistant Sports Editor
The Rice Owls hit Kyle Field with
their heads down and on the run us
ing a clock-eating game plan to com
bat the Aggies.
Time did run out, but not with the
Owls in the winning column, as
A&M downed Rice 24-10 Saturday.
It was a relatively close game sta
tistically in the First half (195 total
yards for A&M to 162 for the Owls).
The Owls started the game by
swallowing 10:06 with a grinding
run attack, only to come up empty-
handed after a missed field goal by
Clint Parsons.
Rice’s first possession proved to be
a preview for what was to come in
the game. The Owls had no problem
moving the ball downfield, but they
could not put the points on the
board.
The Aggies had to sit back and
watch Rice run down the clock in the
first half with A&M getting its hands
on the ball only three times. A&M
made use of the lack of opportunity
by scoring on two of three posses
sions.
Rice ended up holding the ball for
19:20 of the first half.
The Rice running game racked
up 129 yards — more than Baylor
and Houston gained in their entire
games combined. The Bears had 51
ground yards, while the Cougars
could only manage 50.
A&M starting quarterback Bucky
Richardson unloaded a 47-yard pass
to Rod Harris that was almost bro
ken up by Rice defender Otha Latin
to move inside the 5 yard line.
The pass was the longest of Rich
ardson’s career and of the Aggie sea
son.
A&M got on the board first after
Robert Wilson scored on a 1-yard
run.
A&M’s next score came on a 31-
yard field goal from Scott Slater. It
was his first of the season after miss
ing four in earlier games.
Rice succeeded in moving the ball
again but could only sink a 29-yard
field goal by Parsons before the half
ended with A&M in the lead 10-3.
A&M Head Coach Jackie Sherrill
said, “Their game plan was to come
out and keep the ball away from us
as long as possible while moving it
down the field and using the clock.
In the first half, they didn’t take the
snap until five seconds were left on
the clock.
“It was the right thing to do, but
they couldn’t score when they had
possession. We expected them to
scramble and pass more instead of
keeping it on the ground.”
A&M’s Darren Lewis stayed
firmly on the ground, racking up
170 yards on 18 carries to add Rice
to his string of five straight 100-yard
games.
Lewis finished the game with
1,563 career yards, moving him past
John David Crow, Glenn Lippman
and Ernest Jackson into 10th posi
tion on A&M’s all-time career rush
ing chart.
Ninth place and Keith Woodside’s
1,720 yard mark is in Lewis’ sight.
Lewis played the game while re
covering from a hip pointer injury
he received against Baylor, along
with his year-long problem with
sprained toes.

a pyschological thing. I just go Out

iandom comments on Texas A&M football,
■ Southwest Conference stuff and national
Bpionship contenders. I can’t think of a real
tolumn idea.
fcan there be any more doubt about which run
ning back is the best in the conference? Darren
|wis has now rushed for 138 yards or better in
each of his last five games and ranks among the
acks in the country in yards-per-game and
yards-per-carry.
Metcalf has sort of Twilight Zoned in Le-
»&’wake. The Horns’ preseason Heisman can-
iidatehas averaged 86.6 yards per game, with a
;ame of 133 (against perennial powerhouse
iew Mexico). If you haven’t noticed, Lewis has

Earnest Jackson for 10th place last week. All in a
year and a half.
It would be positively scary what Lewis could
do if he was playing healthy. He’s doing all this
with two toe injuries and a multitude of nagging
stuff that results from carrying the ball 30-plus
times every week.
On the defensive side, John Roper has been
nominated for the Lombardi Trophy, an annual
award given to the outstanding lineman (or line
backer, obviously) in college football. Two
players for A&M opponents — Nebraska’s
Broderick Thomas and Alabama’s Derrick
Thomas — are also among the nominees. Au
burn defensive lineman Tracy Rocker probably
would have to be considered the favorite. The
senior was also nominated last year.
The U of Texas must be wondering about how
impressive its win over New Mexico was. Its sis
ter school, UT-E1 Paso, beat the Lobos almost as
badly (37-0) as the Longhorns did (41-0). Maybe
the UT system is being too gracious with its allo
cation of talent.
The Southwest Conference could have its first
Top 10 team since the Aggies’ fall early this
year. Arkansas, ranked 13th last week, is sure to
pass No. 9 Clemson (10-3 losers to North Caro
lina State) and No. 11 Georgia (who lost to Ken
tucky 16-10). The Hogs would also have to jump
over Wyoming, however, and the Cowboys beat
Utah 61-18.
Arkansas may be feeling the effects of weak
scheduling. The 7-0 Razorbacks probably will
still be ranked behind five teams (Miami, Ne
braska, Oklahoma, Florida State and Auburn)
with losses on their records. They also will trail
Wyoming, of the traditionally dormat-ish West
ern Athletic Conference, and West Virginia,
which has only has played only one decent team
all year (Pittsburgh) and has only one team on its
entire schedule that is ranked in the Top 20 (No.
19 Syracuse).
Would you believe a boring SWC race? All
Arkansas has to do to get to the Cotton Bowl is
beat Rice (at home) and Baylor. The Texas
A&M game doesn’t matter without another loss,
since the Aggies are ineligible for the conference
championship and the Hogs will have beaten
anyone else they conceivably could be tied with.
On the other hand, the race for the national
championship looks to be one of the most excit
ing in years. UCLA, Southern Cal and Notre
Dame all are undefeated and can make legitimate
claims to being the No. 1 team in the country.
Better yet, USC plays both of the others later in
the season. The Trojans could make it painfully
obvious which team in the country is the best by
winning out.
Those aren’t the only great matchups, either.
Look for classics with Nebraska-Oklahoma,
Georgia-Auburn, Auburn-Alabama, Alabama-
LSU, LSU-Miami, and — dare we say it? —Mi
ami-Arkansas.
Doncha know the Hogs are itching to avenge
last year s 51-7 humiliation in Little Rock. Don
cha know the rest of the conference could really
use a win over a prominant opponent to make the
SWC look a little more significant.
