With the conference schedule out of the way
and the annual war against Texas over with,
there appears to be little reason for the Aggies to
care about tomorrow night’s game against
Alabama.
True. This game is meaningless from the
standpoint of bowl possibilities and national title
aspirations. However, that point will not matter
to the Aggies. They have proven they play as
much for pride as anything else.
If ever a football team faced imposing
emotional challenges in a season, the current
Texas A&M football team is it.
From the toughest schedule in Aggie history to
the recent controversy surrounding former
player George Smith, the Aggies have had
several opportunities to throw up their hands
and say, “Why bother? We have nothing to play
for, so why risk getting injured?”
After all, the Aggies have knowm since the
Louisiana State game they wouldn’t be playing in
a postseason bowl game. It hasn’t affected their
performance this year. Each game they have
been emotionally ready to play.
Whether it’s the coaching staff or the players
themselves, someone deserves credit for keeping
this team together in a situation in which other
teams would have crumbled.
A win would give A&M an outside chance of
entering the national polls to close the season.
There are several interesting sidebars to
Thursday’s game.
One of the interesting matchups involves
Alabama outside linebacker Derrick Thomas and
A&M’s “Blitz Brothers”.

It could be a sloppy, low-scoring battle for
several reasons.
There should be little scoring because the
defenses are solid. The Crimson Tide defense
has performed well in one of the nation'stop
conferences, and the Aggies haven’t faced a
linebacker like Derrick Thomas all year

Thomas was named the winner of the Butkus
Award Tuesday as the nation’s best linebacker.
A&M’s John Roper gets a chance to show how he
stands in comparison to Thomas and possibility
help his All-America chances as well as his
prospects for the National Football League draft.
Several statistical marks are also being pursued
by Aggies.
A&M running back Darren Lewis, the nation’s
second-leading rusher with 1,564 yards, needs
180 yards against the Tide to catch Earl
Campbell’s record for rushing yardage in a single
season (1,744) set in 1977.
Lewis, who missed the LSU game and half of
the Nebraska game with injuries, averages 156.4
yards per game and 5.5 yards per carry.
Lewis will probably make a good run at the
record against a banged up Crimson Tide unit.
The Aggie defense has been the heart of this
team. They have held opponents to under 15
first downs in six of the last eight games, and
held opponents to less than 250 yardb total

with the pressure a player of Thomas’ability

season. A&M did not allow an offensive
touchdown from the second quarter of the
Louisiana T ech game until the second quarten

Finally, the game provides one more
opprtunity for the Aggies and the A&Mstudti
body to put on a good show for a national
television audience.

Lewis among AP honorees
DALLAS (AP) — Texas A&M’s
Darren Lewis and Robert Wilson
copped individual honors, but it was
the Cotton Bowl-bound Arkansas
Razorbacks who hogged the honors
on the Associated Press 1988 All-
Southwest Conference football
team.
Lewis was named the offensive
player of the year, while Wilson was
given newcomer-of-the-year honors.
Eight Razorbacks players were
named by the conference coaches to
the first team.
John Roper, Aaron Wallace, Matt
McCall and Jerry Fontenot joined
Lewis on the first team.
Arkansas’ Ken Hatfield was se
lected as Coach of the Year in ballot
ing that had Jack Pardee of Houston
a close second.
Hatfield’s team was the first one
in five years to win all its SWC
games. It was only the fifth time in
history Arkansas had won 10 regular
season contests.
The Hogs meet UCLA on Jan. 2
in the Cotton Bowl.
Defensive tackle Wayne Martin of
the Razorbacks was picked the
SWC’s Defensive Player of the Year.
Razorbacks on the first team of
fense included quarterback Quinn
Grovey, a sophomore from Lawton,
Okla.; tight end Billy Winston; se
nior tackle Jim Mabry and senior
guard Freddie Childress; and place-
kicker Kendall Trainor, who hit a
school and SWC record 23 field
goals in a row.
Martin led the all-league defense.
Others Hogs on the first team in
cluded linebacker Kerry Owens and
defensive back Steve Atwater.
In all, 13 Razorbacks were hon
ored on either the first or second
teams.
Lewis joined Texas’ Eric Metcalf
in the first team backfield.
Joining Houston’s Jason Phillips
at first team wide receiver were
Houston teammate Jason Dixon and
Texas’ Tony Jones, who tied in the
balloting.
Other first team linemen were
McCall, Fontenot and center Court
ney Hall of Rice.
Joining Martin in the defensive
line were Glenn Montgomery of
Houston, and Tracy Simien and
Mitchell Benson, both of Texas
Christian.
In the secondary, TCU’s Falanda
Newton, Houston’s Johnny Jackson
and Baylor’s Robert Blackmon
joined Atwater.
Slocum
(Continued from page 9)
the 1970s. However, there are inevi
table comparisons between the two
groups.
Slocum doesn’t feel comparisons
are necessary.
“It’s hard to make comparisons
because the competition is not
equal,” Slocum said. “You can only
compare statistically. Really, it’s a
team thing. A lot of the success of
your defense depends on the offen
sive style and productivity.
“Back then (the 1970s) we were
playing behind a good wishbone
team like Arkansas is now. They’re
on the field for most of the game,
and it makes it easier on a defense.”
Slocum continues to specialize
outside of his overall duties as coor
dinator. After working with the line
backers for several years, he now
works specifically with the second
ary.
Slocum attributed the move to
secondary coach to the absence of
Curley Hallman. Hallman left A&M
last Spring to become head coach at
Southern Mississippi.
“We’ve got a position coach for
each position,” Slocum said. “We
had an opening and I figured that,
instead of paying for another coach,
I could take over the job. Besides, it
was a change.”
The current Aggie defense may
not be found among the national sta
tistical leaders, but Slocum is happy
with the unit’s performance so far.
“I think at times this year we’ve
played very well,” Slocum said. “Ar
kansas did not score (an offensive
touchdown) on us for the third time
in the past four years. We stopped
Houston pretty good, too.”
Statistics may be an easy way to
judge success. However, Slocum
feels there is another of gauging his
success as a coach.
“One good measure is the guys
that go on up and have success in
professional football,” Slocum said.
If that is the case, there is no
doubt Slocum is a success. No fewer
than 28 players have gone into the
pros after his tutelage.
Slocum’s coaching skill got a big
test in this year’s game against Texas
Christian.
Sherrill left Slocum in charge of
the team to “minimize distractions”
after the story broke of the allega
tions concerning former A&M
player George Smith. Slocum re
sponded with his usual laid-back de
meanor.
After leading the team to an 18-0
victory, Slocum joked, “This head
coaching stuff is overrated. There’s
nothing to it.”
His response to a question about
his reaction to his new role reyeals
the reason for his success.
“It was a little different especially
when you have ten guys in front of
you taking your picture all the time,”
Slocum said. “But, 1 didn’t try to do
anything differently than we nor
mally for it. I just tried to be myself.”
