Texas A&MFOOTBALL'92The Battalion Monday, August3]|
New man at the helm
Granger comes back to replace A&M's winningest lead
By RULY MEDRANO
Sports Writer for THE BATTALION
The French had Napoleon. The
Union had Ulysses S. Grant. The
Allies had George S. Patton.
Leaders extraordinaire, a neces
sity for victory.
Granger
Around Ag-
gieland, there
were questions
in the spring as
to who would
lead the Texas
A&M football
team into battle
against Stanford
in the Aggies'
season opener.
R e d s h i r t
freshmen Tom
my Preston and
Matt Miller, senior Kent Petty and
sophomore Steve Emerson each
were candidates to replace 1991
general and Southwest Confer
ence Offensive Player of the Year
Bucky Richardson.
Although Miller came out of
spring workouts as the No. 1
quarterback, none of the quartet
currently holds a position on the
Aggies' two-deep chart.
Sophomore Jeff Granger of Or-
angefield returned from his one-
semester hiatus to claim the start
ing quarterback position while
true freshman Corey Pullig of
Houston earned the backup job.
Granger, a 6-4, 195-pound
southpaw, decided to return to
Aggie football after being cut from
the U.S. Olympic baseball team
this summer. He was once a
twelfth-round pick of the Min
nesota Twins, so playing big
league baseball became his top
priority.
But the thought of just watch
ing the Aggies, who have been
ranked in the top ten in most of
the preseason polls, didn't sit well
with Granger.
"The more I thought about it,
the more I wanted to go back,"
Granger said about his absence.
"It tore me up inside, and I
wouldn't have been able to live
with myself."
Even though the highly-touted
Aggies return 15 starters, they are
still a young team with only nine
seniors. Consequently, there is
talk in College Station of a nation
al championship within the next
two years.
"It's in the back of everyone's
mind," Granger said. "But you
can't go undefeated if you lose the
first game. We need to win every
game, and if it's there at the end,
then that's great."
A year ago this time, Pullig was
on his way to becoming e Parade
All-American quarterback at Deer
Park High School. He made re-
cruitng visits to Notre Dame, Mia
mi and UCLA who have all pro
duced great throwing quarter
backs such as Joe Montana, Vinny
Testeverde'and Troy Aikman.
So what made the 6-4, 205
pound Pullig decide to play for
A&M, a school which is more
renowned for its tradition of great
linebackers and strong running
game?
According to Pullig, the fact
that Aggie offensive coordinator
Bob Toledo and head coach R.C.
Slocum said the Aggies will open
Monday, /
up the offense in the fui
his major deciding factor.
Psychologically, Pulligaj:
ready to step in and I
pressures of big-time 0
ball.
"1 don't get pressured ea;)
Pullig said. "I've dealt
sure my whole life so I'm It;
used to it."
According to Slocum,P;
has already begun to adaptr
first few fall practice sessions
"You can't look at a highs
guy and project how he'll rea
a major college," Slocum;
"The mental part can't bejm
I was surprised how quidl
(Pullig) picked things upma
1 y"
The forte of both Grange
Pullig is their strong passings
According to Granger, thesis
Aggie running game w
ment the potentially (
aerial attack.
"As a quaterback, I'dloii
throw on every down," Gra;
said. "But with guys like
Hill, Rodney Thomas andh
Carter, we can't keep thebal
of their hands.
"They draw in the defers
backs and that opens up
ing game. It works hand ink
My passing will help their(;.
running backs) running."
The spring's quarterback
tions have apparently bee
swered. Now arises the re
of how the A&M quarter^
will do in hostile war zones;
as Baton Rouge and Austin.
For an answer to that,

A&M kickers look for opportunity to shir
By K. LEE DAVIS
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
Welcome to the 1992 Texas
A&M kicking game, where the in
cumbent place kicker is the Man
hattan born son of a former Greek
professional league soccer player
and current owner of country and
western honky tonks, and the
punter is from a tiny Texas town
in the panhandle that plays six-
man football.
You more likely remember
them better as Terry Venetoulias
and David Davis, and in spite of
their backgrounds, they appear to
be fairly normal. At least for
kickers.
Venetoulias, a junior from Deer
Park, handled all of A&M's place
kicking chores throughout last
season. He heads into 1992 as an
All-Southwest Conference candi
date after nailing 13-of-18 field
goals, and 49-of-50 extra points
last season.
A&M specialists coach Shawn
Slocum said despite Venetoulias''
solid numbers last season, he ex
pects even better things from his
kicker this year.
"In the last two years Terry
Venetoulias has really gotten a lot
better and a lot stronger and has
improved his accuracy," Slocum
said. "We are expecting him to be
a vital member of our club this
season."
Venetoulias said he thrives on
pressure situations, and set forth
his perfect scenario for his rise to
stardom.
"I would like to have two sec
onds left, in a driving rain, with a
50 yard kick to win the national
championship," Venetoulias said.
"But what I try to do when I go
out and practice is to be prepared
for each and every situation."
Venetoulias was also a stand
out soccer player in high school,
garnering All-state honors his ju
nior season after leading the state
in goals scored.
"I played soccer since I was
three years old, and soccer
supposed to be my mains’
Venetoulias said. "I was
follow in my father's footstep
soccer, but then came
added.
The two-sport star was
sive enough as a place k
earn All-American honors as;
nior.
Davis followed a different
to College Station after
virtually every position atb
High School in the Texas pai
die.
Davis flourished in this
ronment and was able to wall
at A&M as a non-schoiars
freshman to later become a
scholarship starter after an
pressive performance in
son's opener against Louisia
State.
"David Davis is definite!
good one," Slocum said. "Wen
good shape with him back then
"I'm ready to play,
wait!" Davis added.
Aggies
Continued from Page 1
hesitation gave the job to San
Diego native Matt Miller over
Tommy Preston, Steve Emerson
and Kent Petty.
Enter Jeff Granger. After being
cut from the U.S. Olympic base
ball team. Granger came out of
football retirement to rejoin the
Aggies, and he quickly took over
the starting job.
The one question mark had
seemingly been answered. After
all, Slocum had a man in Granger
who was backup to Richardson
last season, who knew the team's
system, and who was already an
accomplished athlete.
The question mark, however,
reappeared against Stanford last
week.
Granger was pulled in the sec
ond half after completing only 6 of
21 passes and failing to get any
points on the board.
After incoming freshman
Corey Pullig and Miller each were
given tries to move the offense.
Granger came back in. The of
fense turned up a notch, and the
Aggies scored ten points in the
fourth quarter, just enough for a
narrow victory.
The No. 1 defense in the coun
try last season had few question
marks going into this season. The
answer to the main one might
have been answered in the form of
Aaron Glenn, a junior college
transfer who took over for All-
American cornerback Kevin
Smith, now of the Dallas Cow
boys.
Glenn had one interception and
six tackles against Stanford as the
defense consistently kept the Ag
gies in the ball game by keeping
the Cardinal to seven points.
"Kevin Smith left me some big
shoes to fill, but I am confident I
can do the job," Glenn said.
The Aggies will rely a great
deal on their tenacious defense, as
indicated by the Stanford game.
The players agree that the talent
amassed from last year's squad is
equal, or even topped, this season.
T
"I think this is a better;
than last year," defensive endE
England said. "The guysl
been making big plays,
swarm the ball, everybody gar
ing up to make tackles,
just a great team effort."
If the Aggies are ever 1
