Aggie quarterbacks learning
Toledo’s new multiple offense
Photo by Frederick D.Jot
A&M Offensive Coordinator Bob Toledo
By Jerry Bolz
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
When the Texas A&M football
team takes the field next fall, there
are going to be some changes. For
one thing, the air at Kyle Field will
be more peaceful, with the first, and
harshest, year of the Aggies’ NCAA
probation over.
But the most noticeable changes
will be on the field — specifically, the
Aggie offense.
Under the direction of new Head
Coach R.C. Slocum, A&M went fish
ing in the offseason to fill several
holes left by coaches of the Jackie
Sherrill era.
One of the biggest catches is Of
fensive Coordinator Bob Toledo, a
former Duck from the University of
Oregon. Toledo has brought to Ag-
gieland an air as fresh as that of the
Oregon coast —and just as brisk.
Watching Toledo taking charge of
the offense at spring practice meet
ings, it’s easy to see how he brought
Oregon from a cellar-dweller to a
team consistently near the top of the
tough Pacific Ten Conference.
He works hard. But he’s not the
only one that does. His energy has
been passed on to a talented group
of quarterbacks.
What type of quarterback will it
take to fit the bill for the multiple?
Toledo said someone who “won’t get
us beat” is a top priority.
Right now Slocum, Toledo and
the rest of the staff have decided on
junior Lance Pavlas as the man.
“My feeling is you decide on a guy
and go with him until he proves he
can’t,” Toledo said. “Lance is the
man right now.”
No one is working harder than
Pavlas now while he has the task of
learning the intricate system.
But at the end of the third week of
spring practice, Pavlas said he is still
cramming to learn the multiple set.
“It’s all new for everybody,” Pav
las said. “We’re starting from scratch
and there’s a whole new terminolo
gy-”
Pavlas summed up his opinion of
the offense with a hearty “I love it!”
And he’s not the only one. Fresh
man redshirt quarterback Kent Petty
said: “I like the new offense. I like
throwing the ball — I came here to
throw the ball.”
Perhaps the quarterback who is
least excited over the multiple is ju
nior Bucky Richardson. He’s not dis
pleased with the new game plan at
all, it’s just that any offense is alright
with him — he just wants to play.
Richardson, a daring runner
known for choosing to dash rather
than pass, may be healed of a knee
injury in time to see some action this
year. He said the offense is good for
all of A&M’s quarterbacks, and all
have accepted the challenge of
learning and conforming to it.
With Richardson, though, accept
ing the challenge of it somehow
doesn’t seem to negate his aggressive
style of play.
“My personality hasn’t changed at
all (because of the injury),” he said.
“I don’t think my game is going to
change. I’ll do things that were suc
cessful my first two years.”
Richardson said some little style
changes might take place, like avoid
ing linebackers rather than flipping
over them
Pavlas should have a lot more time
to develop under Toledo than he
did the past two years. Toledo said it
doesn’t help a quarterback to always
be looking over his shoulder when
he gets pulled out after every little
mistake.
There’s no doubt Pavlas is thrilled
to have a chance to throw the ball af
ter two years of sporadic use and
little opportunity to really “let go”
with a passing game.
“We saw how r effective the offense
was at Oregon,” Pavlas said. “We
think it can do the same thing here.
It’s a great opportunity — I’ll work
hard to maintain the position.”
Senior QB Chris Osgood, who got
most of the passing opportunities
for A&M last year, said he has to be
optimistic and live with the fact that
Pavlas is now the starter. But he is
positive Pavlas can handle the duties.
'He should do quite well,” Osgood
said. “Any quarterback who gets on
it and likes to pass should do quite
well.”
Another question facing Toledo is
where to fit in an extremely talented
running back like All-SWC Darren
Lewis on a passing offense.
The question doesn’t pose a prob
lem for Toledo, however. He feels
his offense must run effectively to
open up the type of passing game he
wants.
If Lewis stays healthy, Toledo
said, he will gain over 1,000 yardson
the ground again this season, as well
as catching more passes out of the
back field. Toledo also plans to keep
Lewis in for plays inside the oppo
nent’s 5-yard line, a situation where
he was pulled last season.
The multiple questions about the
multiple offense will only have defi
nite answers as the coming season
opens. For now, the speculation is
sufficient for the Aggie football
team. They have been rejuvenated
by fresh air brought in by a new
coach and a new offense.
Offense
(Continued from page 11)
Lewis led the SWC in rushing last
year and averaged 153 yards per
game.
“Darren might not get as many
carries as last year, but I think his
yards per carry will increase,” To
ledo said. “I would like to see him
catch the ball in the flats. In the open
field he could be deadly.
“I like to isolate the backs in the
flats and let them run, because they
are usually your fastest people. If we
can get Lewis in our passing game,
other teams won’t be able to key on
him as much when he runs.”
One aspect of passing that many
fans don’t realize is the difference
All it will take is for us to
do it once to prove we can
and then there should be
no stopping us.”
— Bob Toledo
between run blocking and pass
blocking.
Toledo says that in spite of A&M’s
run-oriented offenses of the recent
past, and the loss of two starting line
man, A&M should have few prob
lems with the blocking assignments
in the new offense.
“When you run block you are the
one being agressive and attacking
the defender,” Toledo said. “In pass
blocking it’s just the opposite.
“So far the lineman have been
picking up the new offense pretty
well and I don’t see any problems."
As with anything that is new it will
take time to see just how good it
works. Toledo says fans shouldn't
panic if A&M stumbles out of the
g ate -
“All it will take is for us to do it
once to prove we can and then there
should be no stopping us,” Toledo
said.
