Florida State too much for young Aggies T he Seminoles, with their chops and arrows, are going to the Cot ton Bowl to play the Aggies. The winner of the Jan. 1 showdown in Dal las should finish the season ranked No. 3. (The winner of the Rose Bowl will finish second behind Miami if the Hur ricanes go on to win the Orange Bowl.) This is what the Cotton Bowl and the Southwest Conference have needed for a long time. A victory for A&M would bring in stant respect to an embattled confer ence. It would give the Aggies nation al acclaim. But it isn't going to happen. The Aggies are in over their heads. Florida State is too fast. They're not too big — they're just too darn fast. And with their speed comes a wealth of experience. Realize, though, that the two teams are much the same. Both teams blitz like crazy and have made trick plays part of their of fenses. Both teams have playmakers on defense. The Aggies have corner- back Kevin Smith and the Seminoles have Terrell Buckley. The Aggies have Quentin Coryatt and Marcus Buckley. Florida St. answers with Marvin Jones and Kirk Carruthers.

Lance Broderson, a 6-6 forward from Napersville, Ill., and Keith Morgan, a 6-10 forward from Austin, will re ceive A&M's maximum allotment of two athletic scholar ships for the 1992-93 season. "They both are fine students wo already have passed Defense sparks Bills past Dolphins, 41-27 MIAMI (AP) — As if Jim Kelly, Thur man Thomas and Andre Reed weren't enough, the Buffalo Bills added a new scoring weapon Monday night — their defense. Three turnovers produced 17 points, including a fumble return for a touch down by Cornelius Bennett, and the Bills beat the Miami Dolphins, 41-27. Buffalo improved to 10-1, best in the AFC and four games ahead of the second- place New York Jets in the East Division. Miami fell to 5-6 with its 10th loss to Buf falo in the past 11 meetings. The Bills mounted scoring drives of 83, 65, 72 and 89 yards. Thomas rushed for 13j yards in 23 carries and scored twice. Kelly threw for three touchdowns, including two to Reed. The 41 points were the most scored by Buffalo against Miami in a regular-season game since their first meeting in 1966, won by the Bills 58-24. The Bills, howev er, beat the Dolphins 44-34 in the playoffs last January. Buffalo is accustomed to such produc tion from its offense, ranked No. 1 in the NFL. Big plays by the Bills' defense, ranked 26th, have been much less fre quent. The first and biggest turnover came when a blitzing Bennett beat tackle Mark Dennis to the outside, knocked the ball from Dan Marino's cocked right hand, fell on the fumble at the 6-yard line, stood up and dashed into the end zone. That gave Buffalo the lead for good at 17-10 midway in the second quarter. their college entrance exams and will be sound academi cally," Barone said. "They were as good for us as any re cruits we saw in the entire recruiting process." Broderson averaged 21.2 points and 11.6 rebounds per game as a junior and is expected to be one jof the top high school players in Illinois this season. He chose A&M over DePaul, Bradley, and Indiana State. "The thing that impressed us most about Lance was his shooting ability," Barone said. "I don't think he will be locked into a position with us because he coujd play in several spots. He's very physical and has the body to play major college basketball right away." Morgan helped Austin LBJ to the district 14-5A cham pionship and a 30-2 record last year by averaging seven points, 9.7 rebounds and three blocked shots per game. He chose the Aggies over Arkansas, the University of Southern California, Colorado, Rice and Texas Tech. "We were most impressed by Keith's athletic ability," he said. "He can run and jump and has the raw ability to be a fine forward." A&M will be allowed to use every available scholar ship to recruit next year. KARL STOLLEIS/ The Battalion Texas A&M basketball coach Tony Barone shows frustration in the Aggies’ first exhibition game against Marathon Oil on Nov. 11. Barone received letters of intent from two high school basketball players Monday. The NCAA limited A&M to giving two scholarships for the 1992-93 season. Lady Aggies face New Zealand team after beating Ft. Hood 90-69 last week. Auckland has compiled a 1-5 record so far in its tour of the United States. A&M head coach Lynn Hickey said her team could use more time to prepare. "We need another week to polish up on some points of our game, but since we don't, we have to take what we have and jump into the fire," Hickey said. Since their victory over Ft. Hood the team has practiced well, Hickey said.
