£ f Page 4 The Battalion Tuesday, October 29,193; TuesC fc Baylor prepares for final trip to Arkansas WACO, Texas (AP) — After two straight losses dropped the Baylor Bears from the Cotton Bow! picture, coach Grant Teaff threw out the fancy mid-season schemes and had his players work on the fundamentals. It worked. The No. 21 Bears beat Texas Christian 26-9, im proving their record to 6-2 and keeping their bowl hopes alive. "The TCU game was a very important one tor us/' Teaff said Monday. "It was a must-win game for us. We were in a situa tion where we felt like we had to find a way to win. "Now if we had lost, I would have really been questioned about going back to the basics in the middle of the year with a lot of senior kids. But part of that was confidence. Trying to restore what had been lost and we did that” The victory gets the Bears back on track for one final trip to Arkansas. The Bears (T-2 in the SWC) travel to Little Rock, Ark, on Sat urday for the last time to face the resurgent Arkansas Razorbacks, ranked 24th with a 5-2 mark, in cluding 4-0 in the SWC. It will be the last SWC game ever played at Razorback Stadi um. ... Arkansas joins the Southeast ern Conference in 1992. The Razorbacks are perfect in league play despite ranking dead last in total offense. O'Brien Continued from Page 4 sure, he fought to the end. Second, as Florida State head coach Bobby Bowden says, a team can only get up for two or three games a year, and for the Aggies this was not one of them. A&M won with superior talent on Satur day and will have to do the same against Rice and TCU. Arkansas and Texas are the only games where A&M fans can expect an all-out, full-tilt effort. Finally, UH head coach John Jenkins and his team took a gut check and decided to start playing football again. If they can keep it up the rest of the season, the Cougars can beat Texas. The Longhorns already have one con ference loss, so a Houston victory would knock the Texas out of the race. If the Aggies keep playing like they did on Saturday, they won't have to worry about what the oth er teams do. They'll take care of their own destiny — like champi ons.
