No. 15 Ags set for battle in Seattle
By Clay Rasmussen
Of The Battalion Staff
Coach R.C. Slocum is not content
to rest on the laurels of the Aggies’
28-16 victory over Lousiana State at
Kyle Field last weekend.
Slocum recalled at his weekly
press conference Tuesday a similar
situation where the Aggies got
burned because of overconfidence.
“In 1975, we beat Texas on na
tional television, were ranked second
in the national polls and were poised
to win the Southwest Conference
championship and gain a trip to the
Cotton Bowl,” Slocum said.
But the Aggies were stopped dead
in their tracks by the Arkansas Ra-
zorbacks the next week.
“We just didn’t play like we did
the week before. Texas probably
had the better team of the team of
the two,” Slocum said.
The stakes of the A&M-Washing-
ton game aren’t quite as high as that
> have a lot
1975 game, but both teams
to prove.
Slocum said A&M must continue
to play with the same intensity they
played with against LSU.
“A true champion has an insatia
ble appetite,” he said. “No matter
how well he’s done, he’s never really
satisfied. There has to be im
provement in every area this week.
“It’s a challenge that all teams
face. What we did last week will have
no bearing on this week’s game. It
was a positive thing, but there is no
guarantee, no certainty that we will
come back this week and play as
well.”
Washington Coach Don James
thinks Slocum has little to worry
about.
“I think A&M has the best of both
worlds,” James said in a telephone
interview Wednesday. “They don’t
seem to have any apparent weakness
in their offense or defense.
“Coach Slocum had to be con
cerned going into the LSU game
with all the defensive changes and
shifts. I was really impressed. To
move guys around like they did and
handle the LSU offense was incredi
ble. They played like a veteran team.
Dennis Brown, senior Huskie de
fensive end and a i989 Outland Tro
phy candidate, agreed.
“We’ve been watching the film of
the A&M-LSU game and paying
particular attention to the way (the
A&M offensive line) explodes off
the line. That, along with Darren Le
wis and Robert Wilson, makes the
A&M offense particularly scary.”
The Huskies also have a great
deal to prove. They are in a similar
situation the Aggies were in last
week.
The Huskies are coming off a dis
appointing season, barely finishing
above .500. For the first time in nine
years, they failed to gain a bowl bid
and finished 6-5. Disappointed with
last year. Athletic Director Mike
Lude hired a new offensive line
coach to rebuild.
Like the Aggies’ defensive line,
the Huskie’s offensive line is laden
with untested underclassmen.
“We’ve lost just about our whole
offensive line and recievers,” James
said. “The loss of Scott Jones and
Mike Zandofsky to the NFL really
left a big hole in the line.
“The way we played last year, it’s
important that we have a good game
against A&M. We need to start the
season on a positive note.”
Slocum, like James, is ap
proaching Saturday’s game cau
tiously.
“Washington playing in Seattle
will be every bit as tough as LSU, if
not tougher,” he said. “They are an
extremely well coached team. . . big,
physical and used to winning.”
Texas A&M leads the A&M-
Washington series 2-0, with their last
win coming two years ago in College
Station.
The then No. 10-ranked Huskies
were kept out of the endzone by a
swarming Aggie defense that al
lowed only four field goals.
The Aggies, scoring in every quar
ter, beat Washington 29-12.
The last time A&M travelled to
Seattle, in 1975, they beat the
Huskies 28-15.

Aggie Notes. . .Starting strong
safety Gary Jones, who played only
one down in the LSU game, still is
suffering from a pulled groin mus
cle and is considered “very doubtful”
for Saturday’s game against the
Huskies by Coach R.C. Slocum. .
.Among the 10 head coaches A&M
has had since 1948, Slocum is only
the fourth to win his first game at
A&M. The others were Raymond
George (1951), Emory Bellard
(1972) and Tom Wilson (1978). .
Junior running back Darren Lewis
now has thrown three touchdown
passes in his career — one more than
starting quarterback Lance Pavlas
has as an Aggie. . .With his 55 yards
rushing against LSU, Lewis tiea Bob
Smith (1949-51) to become the No. 6
rusher in school career history. He
now needs only 57 yards to surpass
current New York Jets running back
Roger Vick (1983-86). . .senior line
backer Aaron Wallace needs only
three sacks to break Jacob Green’s
(1977-1979) career school record.

returnsto action tonight at 7:30 in G.
Rollie White Coliseum. A&M will
face the Florida Gators and attempt
to get even with the Southeastern
Conference, after losing last week’s
match to Louisiana State.
The Lady Aggies showed poten
tial in the season opener, losing a
tight one to LSU 7-15, 15-13, 13-15,
14-16. However, A&M committed
serving errors at several key times.
