Shaking
the
BUTTERFLIES
Tucker makes
it back from
ankle injury
ByNADJA SABAWALA
Of The Battalion Staff
Kevin Tucker felt sick to his
stomach last Saturday morning.
He was nervous and couldn’t eat
breakfast.
But at least it was better than
feeling useless.
Tucker, a starting defensive
end for Texas A&M last year,
played his first game of the sea
son last Saturday against Rice.
And though he had butterflies,
he said he was hoping his game
would take off.
“It felt great to be out there,”
Tucker said. “It’s hard to sit
around watching everybody and
knowing you could be out there. I
felt kind of useless the whole
year.”
During two-a-days in August,
Tucker severely sprained his an
kle and missed the first seven
games. But the sophomore from
Angleton came back Saturday,
showing the Aggies —and Owl
quarterback Donald Hollas—that
he hadn’t missed a step.
Tucker broke through the Rice
offensive line to sack Hollas twice
in A&M’s 41-15 win.
“1 was on cloud nine,” Tucker
said. “I worked hard all week on
moves and pass rushing and
that’s what I wanted to do going
into the game.”
Both of Tucker’s sacks came in
the second quarter. The Owls
were behind 17-12 but had just
returned a kick 55 yards, threat
ening deep in Aggie territory.
Hollas, five-of-six on third-down
conversions, lined up on the
A&M 37 and dropped back to
pass. Tucker raced through the
line and sacked Hollas for a four-
yard loss and forced the Owls to
abandon a potential go-ahead
touchdown.
Then, with :17 remaining in
the half, Rice faced a second-and-
10 from their 45-yard line. Try
ing for a last-second score, Hollas
dropped back, but couldn’t find
an open target. Tucker again
charged through and grabbed a
retreating Hollas for a 13-yard
loss.
“The second (sack) was better,”
Tucker said. “It was a better hit, a
bigger sack. I had time to get
there and we needed a sack then.
I just wanted two sacks.”
The reason he had time to get
there, Tucker said, is the rest of
the defensive line. Defensive line
men John Miller, .Albert Joqes^ ^
Jayson Black, Lance Teichelman
and newcomers Mark Wheeler,
Eric England and Kefa Chatham
combine with Tucker to make a
commanding presence on the
field.
“Not one person dominates,”
Tucker said of the defensive line.
“It takes all three of us and we
have to pull together.
“That’s where people win —up
front—and to do that, everybody
has to play together. Us, tne in
side linebackers and outside line
backers. Each one saying, T don’t
know if he’s going ton dp his job.’”

tensive lige^Jid its jofr |;ackjmg up
a total 27 tackles. Tucker added a
broken pass and Teichelman had
an interception in the second
quarter that bounced off a Rice
player’s helmet.
Tucker said the line per
formed well because the players
were alternated with others who
had time to rest between series.
“It’s always good when you can
alternate people and keep them
fresh,” Tucker said. “Especially
on the defensive line because
you’re in the trenches all the time.
If you keep certain people in
there all the time they get tired
and beat up.”
Tucker finished the game with
four tackles and the satisfaction
that his ankle can withstand game
situations.
“It’s a little sore,” Tucker said,
“but I’ve got to live through that.
It’s just part of the game.”
Tucker said he believes his an
kle is close to 100 percent, but he
still needs a little work.
“It’s still going to take a while
to get back in there,” he said.
“The week before the game they
had me out doing all kinds of
exercises to get my confidence
back. I think, ‘If I can play this
far, I can do this and I can do
that.’”
Anytime you’re hurt, Tucker
said, you tend to favor the injury.
But he’s trying to make a full re
covery.
“If I hurt it in practice or a
game, I favor it then,” he said. “I
see people on the ground and I
try to stay away from them. It
might hurt in the long run be
cause you want to make the big
plays.
“Some good things happened
for me,” Tucker said of the game.
“I had some good breaks.”
But Tucker made big plays
against Rice despite the soreness
in his ankle. Preparing himself
mentally helps during the game,
he said. Every Friday night be
fore a game, he sits down and
plans for the next day.
“I think about every situation
that could happen to me,”
Tucker said. “I try to think about
how I’ll play and what I’ll do on a
certain down and distance.”
Two nights from tonight,
Tucker again will be sitting,
thinking about the next day when
the Aggies take on Southern
Methodist in Dallas.
Tucker’s again probably plan
ning two sacks ... maybe even
more. The Mustangs allowed
eight sacks in last Saturday’s 52-3
loss to Texas.
And Tucker is gaining the con
fidence and blocks he needs to
his way into the back field.

Hall nominees include Knight, O’Brien
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) —
lobby Knight and Larry O’Brien,
represeniuij be former NBA commissioner who
lied last month, were among 12 can-
lidates nominated Tuesday for elec-
on to the basketball Hall of Fame.
Hall of Fame president Bob Kur-
nd said the trustees decided that
fan individual is worthy of nomi-
ation to this prestigious honor that
lerson’s name and qualifications will
^submitted to the 24-member hon-
theissueare irscommittee.”
“Both these guys are deserving of being
recognized under the standards of the
Basketball Hall of Fame. I don't know how they
are going to come out in the voting by the
honors committee, but they are certainly
deserving to be nominated. You can r t deny
history.”
— Bob Kurland,
president, Basketball Hall of Fame
“The guts of it is that history
houldbe reported in its true form,”
iurland said. “Both these guys are
leserving of being recognized under
he standards of the Basketball Hall
ifFame. I don’t know how they are
[oing to come out in the voting by
fie honors committee, but they are
ertainly deserving to be nominated,
fou can’t deny history.”
To be elected to the hall, nomi
nees need 18 votes from the honors
committee in its balloting next
spring. Enshrinement ceremonies
are scheduled for May 13 in this city,
where the game began nearly 100
years ago.
O’Brien, who died on Sept. 27,
withdrew his name from consider
ation last year in protest of the hall’s
secret elections.
Knight, the Indiana coach, asked
that he not be considered for reno
mination after he failed to be elected
in 1987. At the time, he called it a
“slap in the face.”
Knight said through a spokesman
that he was unaware he was being
nominated again and would have no
comment.
Renominated as players were
Nate Archibald, Dave Cowens, Bob
Lanier, John Kerr, Calvin Murphy
and Nera White, a women’s Ama
teur Athletic Union star.
In addition to Knight, Jack Hart
man, the winningest coach in Kansas
State history and Jack Ramsay, one
of the most successful coaches in
NBA history, were nominated a sec
ond time.
O’Brien, whose long political ca
reer included being an adviser to
President Kennedy and national
Democratic Party chairman, said be
fore his death that he had tried un
successfully to make the election
process public during his two terms
as Hall of Fame president.
“I have no quarrel with the Hall of
Fame and would consider election a
high honor, but I’m a guy who be
lieves in the Democratic process,”
O’Brien had said.
