Scrimmage ends spring practic
Slocum won't make decision on starting QB until August
By Steve O'Brien
The Battalion
There were clear skies over
Kyle Field on Wednesday after
noon as the Texas A&M football
team concluded spring practice
for 1992. The quarterback situa
tion, however, remains cloudy.
"I would have liked for some
one to jump out there and been
able to say, 'This guy is dramati
cally better that the others,'"
A&M head coach R. C. Slocum
said. "No one did that.
"I thought they all performed
the same. I thought they all
showed improvement. I don't
think anyone really put them
selves out in front."
The four players fighting for
the job are Kent Petty, Tommy
Preston, Matt Miller and Steve
Emerson. Petty will be a senior in
the fall, Preston and Miller will be
freshmen and Emerson a sopho
more.
During an extended
mage on Wednesday, the <
backs combined for 67 yards pass
ing on nine completions and two
interceptions. The main offensive
spark came from running backs
Greg Hill and Rodney Thomas.
Thomas highlighted the prac
tice with a 47-yard touchdown
run, and Hill scored on a 10-yard
dash as the A&M offense had 178
yards rushing.
"I thought our tailbacks did re
ally well all spring," Slocum said.
"Greg Hill and Rodney Thomas
did all the running this spring. I

Offensive coordinator Bob
Toledo said one quarterback will
eventually take over.
"When we do decide on the
one, we'U let him get most of the
reps, and I think he'll be a good
quarterback," Toledo said. "At
least of couple of weeks before
(A&M's first game against Stan
ford on Aug.26), we've got to get
him ready."
Throughout the three weeks of
practice, the four quarterbacks
each showed signs of brilliance
and signs of inexperience.
Petty said off-season workouts
will help decide who becomes
quarterback.
"The summer is the key," Pet
ty said. "Everybody made
progress this spring. I was work
ing on some finer things, while
some of the other guys were get
ting the offense down. Whoever
comes out and works hard and
throws the ball a lot (over the
summer) is going to be the one
who comes out on top.
"After the first two weeks, I
was headed in the right direction,
but then the younger guys started
getting some things done."
Whatever the situation on of
fense, the Aggie defense looks like
it will continue to be one of the na
tion's best.
Defensive coordinator Bob
Davie said a number of players
stepped up to fill spots vacated by
last year's seniors.
"You start off trying to find
guys that want to play," Davie
said. "I think we did that. We've
got some good, young, hungry
players."

"Whether they go as late draft

free agents, I think all of these
guys have a chance to play,"
Slocum said.
Highly touted out of high
school, Simmons suffered a string
of injuries that limited his playing
time. He wound up rushing for
less than 1,000 yards in his college
career after amassing more than
2,500 yards his senior year in high
school.
Now, Simmons said some pro
teams have contacted him about a
possible late-round draft pick.
"I've worked out for quite a
few teams, and right now I'm like
everybody else, just waiting until
Sunday to see what happens,"
Simmons said.
Simmons said one of the
things going for him was the pro
scouting combine held in Indi
anapolis. Since he sat out most of
his senior season, the combine
gave teams a chance to see what
he can do.
"When I went out there, they

That helped me out a lot.
"I'm thankful they invited me
to the combine because (other
wise) I don't think I would have
had too much of a shot."
Offensive coordinator Bob
Toledo said Simmons might have
a difficult time getting picked be
cause of his past injuries.
"I woulcl think that someone's
going to take a chance on him and
give him a chance," Toledo said.
"How high he gets drafted or if he
gets drafted still remains to be
seen. You never know what
they're thinking."

One thing that the players "on
the bubble" have going forta:
they are coming from a success!:
program that has produced gre
pro players in the past, includ
John Roper, Gary Kubiak,Rid
mond Webb, and others.
Bob Davie, A&M's defensit
coordinator, said that mig
the lesser-known players.
"The Quentin Coryattsandfe

Davie said. "But a lot of tel

"When you've got fiveoni*

So Simmons will sit and wait

Astros regain division lead after Giant wit
HOUSTON (AP) - Chris
Jones hit a two-run homer in the
12th inning as the Houston Astros
beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1
Wednesday night to move into
sole possession of first place in the
NL West.
The Astros closed their 15-
game homestand with a 9-6
record, winning seven of their last
nine.
Xavier Hernandez (2-0) was
the winner, pitching one hitless in
ning.
Eric Yelding had a one-out sin
gle off loser Mike Jackson (0-1)
and Jones then hit his first home
run of the season, a drive to left
field. Jones, who was with Cincin
nati last season, was signed to a
minor-league contract by the As
tros on Dec. 19.
The Astros were one out away
from a 1-0 victory when Robby
Thompson homered off reliever
Doug Jones in the ninth.
Pete Harnisch pitched 6 2-3
shutout innings for the Astros and
drove in a run with a fourth-in

bad thing was, at least for FSU,
their defense didn't do much bet
ter. A&M coasted to a 9-1 victo
ry and secured the tournament
championship.
Just in case anyone's keeping
score, that's two top 25 teams
who have fallen to the Aggies'
wrath. And, unlike A&M, both
are still ranked and are probably
guaranteed a regional bid. Flori
da State is 12th in both Baseball
America and Collegiate Baseball,
and the Bulldogs are 21st in the
Collegiate Baseball poll.
Quality wins are supposed to
be one of the measurements of
tournament teams. If that's so,
A&M should be as good as in. If
the Aggies were in the Southeast
Conference, they would be in.
Which brings us to the Ag
gies' conference affiliation. Of
course, the Southeast, Big Eight
and Pac 10 conferences are quali
ty leagues that deserve to receive
several regional bids. But
whether or not us die-hard Ag
gies want to admit it, any base
ball conference that includes the
University of Texas is, without a
doubt, a tough conference as
well.
No kidding, folks. At last
glance, Texas was 35-10 overall
and was among the top 10 teams
in the nation. They have four na
tional championships in the tro
phy case, and even with all that,
Johnson gives them credit with
hitting better than any team he's
seen come out of Austin.
"This is the best hitting ball
club I've ever seen Texas have,"
Johnson said after losing two-of-
three to the Longhorns in Austin
earlier this season. "They hit the
ball well today, and if they keep
on hitting like they are it's going
to be hard for anyone to beat
them."
Those are strong words con
cerning a team that produced hit
ters like Keith Moreland, who hit
better than .400 during Texas'
1975 national championship sea
son. But that statement is, appar
ently, accurate.
Entering this weekend, the
Longhorns are hitting .319asa
team. That's right, that's a team
batting average. And believe
me, as much as I or anyone else
may hates t.u. and the attitudeof
their players, there's no denying
they are one of the best teams in
the nation.
The Aggies have proved they
are a quality team by merely
winning two of the six games
this season against Texas. Any
one who was at the series in Col
lege Station could tell you that
was a series the Aggies could
have easily won. One morehitat
the right time on Saturday, and
A&M takes two-of-three from
the Longhorns and the confer
ence race is much closer.
So forget, if you can, some of
the losses the Aggies shouldn't
have had this season, like the se
ries defeats from Texas Tech and
Rice, and look at the wins they
do have. After all, lest we forget,
the Duke basketball team did
lose to Wake Forest this season.
Kind of makes you realize that
during the regular season, any
thing can happen.
