Mulvey Offensive coordinator Bob Toledo congratulates Darren Lewis after the tail back came out of last year’s 45-7 A&M win at Rice Stadium. Toledo has come under fire for this year’s conservative play calling, criticism he says is wrong. Coaches tackle offensive woes By RICHARD TIJERINA Of The Battalion Staff Texas A&M offensive coordi nator Bob Toledo answered his critics Tuesday: back off and let A&M coaches do what they’re supposed to — coach. Toledo and head football coach R.C. Slocum have been crit icized about conservative play S A&M tries to improve s intensity/Page 7 calling and decisions at the quar terback position. But Toledo said it’s easy for fans to criticize coaches’ decisions after they see the result of the play. “One week they say you run too much,” Toledo said, “the next week they say you don’t run enough. Or we run too many op tions. Or we don’t run the option enough. Or we ought to play this quarterback. Or we ought to play that quarterback. “When you throw a pass and you complete it, they love you. When you throw a pass and it’s incomplete, you’re the village id iot. We know our personnel. We know what works best. And we know what offense to run more than that fan out there who’s looking at us.” That first personnel decision is at quarterback, where Lance Pav las and Bucky Richardson have battled for the starting job. Pav las, the Aggies’ starter for the first five games of the season, hasn’t played in the last 11 quarters. “When you throw a pass and you complete it, they love you. When you throw a pass and it's incomplete, you're the village idiot. We know our personnel. We know what works best. And we know what offense to run more than that fan out there who's looking at us." — Bob Toledo, offensive coordinator Richardson, the starter for most of 1987-88 who sat out last season with a knee injury, was in serted in the first quarter of the Texas Tech game and has played since. In his first start of the year in the 36-31 loss to Houston, Rich ardson completed 15-of-30 passes for 241 yards. He led the Aggies to 555 total offensive yards, but threw four interceptions. Richardson was five-of-12 for 63 yards in the 20-20 tie with Bay lor. He threw one interception and one touchdown, and the Ag gies struggled to 294 total yards. Pavlas didn’t play in the Hous ton and Tech games, although Slocum said he was hoping to get the senior into both contests. Slo cum put to rest any doubts whether Pavlas would play against Rice on Saturday. He will. “We will definitely play Lance in the game this week, and 1 feel badly that I haven’t gotten him in there lately,” Slocum said. ‘Well play both quarterbacks. When you try to compare both statisti cally, their performances have been similar for the season. In all fairness to both of them, they both should play and they both will play this weekend." Toledo said he and Slocum have been hoping to put Pavlas in the last two weeks, but were hesi tant to put him into a close game when Richardson was p\m^ well. “Bucky’s done a lot of good things, but it’s time to give Lance a chance,” Toledo said. “We’ll use both of them to throw Rice off balance this week. Lance has plaved a lot of football at A&M, including being the starter all of last season. So it’s not like he’s a rookie. Bucky will start the game, and at some point Lance will come in and play.” Regardless of who’s playing quarterback, Toledo said the Ag gies have to cut down on turn overs. “The major problem has been the turnovers,” Toledo said. “The frustrating thing is all the fum bles, and of course the intercep tions. You’re going to throw some interceptions, but you can’t have some of the ones we’ve had like these tipped passes and over thrown or underthrown balls.’’ See Toledo/Page 10 INTEGRITY GLEY DISTRICT JUDGE A Change for the Better!
