Bowl team.
By midnight
of the following
day, Schorp
was the Most
Valuable Player
at the third an
nual Disney
land Pigskin
Classic where
he had snared
four Jeff
Granger passes for 68 yards and a
touchdown, and was on a pace to
become the Aggies most prolific
pass-catching tight end ever.
The biggest catch Schorp made
Wednesday, and what could be
Schorp
the biggest by any Aggie all year
was his 21-yard touchdown grab
in the back of the end zone with
12:10 left in the fourth quarter to
help spur his team to victory.
Schorp was already known as a
great blocker after helping lead a
record breaking ground attack last
year, but his catching skills had
gone largely unnoticed after a
1991 season in which he caught
only seven passes for 114 yards.
The 6-3, 233-pound junior from
San Antonio's Churchill High has
also become the only experienced
Aggie at a position that was con
sidered deep at the beginning of
fall football practice.
Backup tight end James McK-
eehan has been unable to practice
since the first week of two-a-days
with a severely pulled hamstring,
and just before that, former tight
end Jason Mathews was moved to
right tackle where he promptly
broke his right hand, leaving true
freshman Hayward Clay as the
only backup until McKeehan
heals.
Schorp might be unaccustomed
to being the Aggies go-to receiver,
but he has accepted his new
found celebrity status with humil-
ity.
"I always hope that I will have
a good game, but to tell you the
truth I didn't think I would win
the MVP, but I thank the Lord that
I did," Schorp said.
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum
said he was pleased with Schor;
performance, but that he woultr
have expected Schorp tobehi$|
fensive MVP either.
"Greg is a steady player lot
not flashy like some others,i,
solid," Slocum said.
It was Schorp's experiencei-;
hard work in the off-seasonth
turned out to be the difference;
the game as A&M embarked
what they hoped would b
glowing season with natioi
championship implications.
"The touchdown pass wasj
a five step drop by Jeff, andusiij
ly in practice it is not that deep
a pass," Schorp said. "Buttl
linebacker was over me soli
leased and got behind him.
"I saw Jeff scrambling and
was hoping he could throw ih
and give me a chance," Schoi
added. "Luckily he did, and
watched the ball coming throup
the air and the linebacker stilly
his back to the ball, so I caught
right over his helmet."

Hadnot considering transfer to NAIA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HOUSTON — Northeastern
Oklahoma or Wisconsin-Superi
or?
Running back Butch Hadnot
says those are the two NAIA
schools he's set his sights on. But
he's still considering the Universi
ty of Texas, where he was sus
pended last week.
"Texas is a good school. I just
made a mistake. Now, I'm going
to learn from it," said Hadnot,
who was suspended from the
football team when he was ruled
academically ineligible.
"I wish them the best of luck
this season. I hope they do well.
And I wouldn't bet against my be
ing back there someday."
Hadnot said he will decide be
tween the two NAIA schools on
Monday and expects to play this
season, where his academic slate
would be wiped clean.
Even if he transferred to anoth
er NCAA school, he'd have to im
prove his grades and sit out a sea
son.
Hadnot was Texas' leading
rusher the last two seasons and
was the 1990 Southwest Confer
ence newcomer of the year.
His difficulties began when
John Mackovic replaced David
McWilliams as Texas' coach. Fol
lowing spring drills, Hadnot was
lowered on the depth chart.
Mackovic uses only one running
back in his pass-oriented scheme.
Then the junior from Kirbyville
was on academic probation this
summer and failed summer
school classes to regain his clas;
room status.
But Hadnot ran into mors
problems with Mackovic earlit;
this month when he attendedi
Texas A&M practice and dis
cussed a possible transfer wil
Aggies coach R.C. Slocum.
"I've got nothing agains!
Texas," said Hadnot, adding th:
he has discussed a possible retun
with Mackovic.
"Coach Mackovic said
thought it was a good idea, ant
he wished me luck," he said.

they had to work for everything
they got tonight."
The A&M defence held the Car
dinal in check throughout the en
tire second half despite losing
strong safety Steve Kinney to a
knee injury and free safety Patrick
Bates to muscle cramps. The Ag
gies replaced the two with sopho
more Junior White, who had two
tackles and two assists, and true
freshman Chris Colon.
Glenn said although it was
tough on the defense without
Bates, the reserves had the talent
to make the plays and that the de
fense had full confidence in them.
"I knew Junior and Chris could
do the job," Glenn said. "It hurt
quite a bit when we lost Pat be
cause he's the captain of the de
fense and our leader. He makes
all the calls on defense, but the
younger guys did a great job."
Stanford head coach Bill Walsh
said the Aggie defense played a
solid game, but felt a better offen
sive performance from the Cardi
nal offense could have given Stan
ford the win.
"Their defense did a great job,
just as ours did," Walsh said. "Of
fensively I was very frustrated. I
give their defense a lot of credit,
but we were not able to do our job
offensively. Had we made a few
more first downs in the second
half we would have won the
game.
"We lost a close game to a good
team with a fine coach and great
athletes," Walsh added.
After carrying the Aggies to
victory on his foot, Venetoulias
gave the credit for the victory to
his supporting cast.
"All I was thinking about was
my aim, and what I was trying to
do," Venetoulias said. "I've got to
give credit to my snapper, Darrell
Red, and my holder, David Davis,
and all my offensive linemen.
Without them, it wouldn't have
been possible."

Continued From Page 7
After three quarters, the Ag
gies had 87 total yards and com
pleted only 6-of-25.
Defense won the game for
A&M, no question about it.
Marcus Buckley, who made a
miraculous recovery from his
mysterious ankle ailment, gave
a stellar performance, recover
ing a fumble and picking up a
sack and a half. Pretty good for
someone who was walking with
a cane a couple of weeks ago.
Eric England also had a sack
and a half to go with five tack
les. Newcomer Aaron Glenn
and veteran Derrick Frazier each
picked off passes from Steve
Stenstrom.
Looking at Stanford's offense
and the man on the Cardinal
sidelines who knows offense
like Einstein knew physics, it
was a credit to the Aggie de
fense that Stanford only put up
one touchdown. It would be
surprising if they scored less
than that all season long.
When Granger came back in
the game in the fourth quarter,
he retained some of his lost zip
His 33-yard run in the openfieli
probably kept the men in ma
roon in the game.
But it was unsung tight end
Greg Schorp that took the of
fense down the field.
Just when it seemed like
A&M's Most Valuable Player
would be punter David Davis,
who was called on a record 13
times, Schorp caught four passe:
for 68 yards, including a 21-ya
touchdown, and took the hon
ors.
It was a win, but it was not a
win to cherish. Slocum and of
fensive coordinator Bob Toledo
must make some adjustments
before the Aggies head to Death
Valley to play Louisiana State
Saturday. Otherwise, A&M
might not be free from that Ba
ton Rouge losing streak that has
lasted since 1975.
And the Aggies can kiss that
undefeated season good-bye.
