Defensive coordinator Joe (ines, an assistant coach for 28 ^ears, was named Crowe's suc- :essor. Crowe, 44, was starting his bird year as head coach. He was lired Jan. 22, 1990, after Ken Hat- ield left Arkansas for Clemson. "It is obvious the program is not where we want it to be and ot where it should be,” Crowe said. "Razorback fans deserve better than that. I believe it is in best interests of all concerned hat the head coaching responsi- dlity be turned over to someone Ise." Kines, a former linebackers oach for the NFL's Tampa Bay uccaneers, was credited with ramatically improving a weak defensive unit in 1991, his first ar at Arkansas. His resume includes coaching stints at Jacksonville State, Clem- ion, Florida and Alabama. I promise you day to day, one day at a time, that the state of this ship will float in the right direc tion," Kines said. "Any changes that are made will be slow and subtle. 1 don't think there will be any wholesale jerking around." f the Whitley Continued from Page 7 loss to the Hurricanes, there will be no looking past Tulsa. Missouri on the road could present a problem simply be cause the game is in Columbia. Even though Louisville gave 17th-ranked Ohio State a run for their money Saturday, the Cardinals have to play in Kyle Field come November. As for the conference sched ule, the tough teams come to College Station (Texas Tech, Baylor, Rice). And after this week, A&M has alreaSy shown that they have the talent to beat any SWC foe, and beat them handily. In fact, given the sorry state of affairs, it would almost be a disappointment if the Aggies lost any of their SWC games. Talk about pressure. But for now, A&M should take pride in their accomplish ment. They've gone on two hard road trips. They've played two good teams. They're 2-0. Welcome home.

Offense Continued from Page 7 "We just wanted to keep them both happy," Toledo said. "We thought it might be interesting if we used them both in the same backfield. With it (the formation), we can run the sweep, run the zones, and both of them are pretty good blockers." Slocum said he feels the talent of both backs will help A&M make the move it has wanted to wards a more diverse offense. "Using them both in the back- field at the same time gives us more flexibility with what we're doing offensively," Slocum said. "Not only are both of them great runners, but both are pretty good blockers, too, which adds to our game." Thomas, who ran for 98 yards on 19 carries against the Tigers, said grabbing some time in the limelight was not as important to him as helping his team earn its first victory in "Death Valley" since 1975. "I've waited for this day for a while, not to get more carries but to get the chance to compete," Thomas said. "I just want to do my part to help this team win games, and if I can do that, that's what makes me happy." Thomas, who tries to tone down his performance with an un selfish attitude that stresses the team first, provided one of the of fensive highlights for the Aggies early in the fourth quarter as he split th/ough the middle and broke a tackle from the LSU safety on his way to a 22-yard touch down run which proved to be the game-winner. "I looked through the hole, and it looked good," Thomas said. "I have to give credit to my blockers, because we have a good offensive line.

"I've got to congratulate R.C. and his men. They have a fine football team," Hallman said. "I thought we had to put ourselves in a position to win the game in the fourth quarter, that was the goal. We had to come out of the chute with the opening kickoff, and we didn't do that." A&M could not, however, break the game open until the last quarter as the Tigers continually fought back from deficits. Tailback Robert Davis provid ed the biggest spark for LSU, as the freshman from Birmingham, Ala. rambled for 134 yards on 15 carries. More than half of those came on a 76-yard run midway through the second quarter that set up the Tigers' first touchdown. Davis broke several tackles, then cut to the right side with only LSU blockers in front of him. A&M cornerback Aaron Glenn managed to come across the field and catch Davis from behind at the eight-yard line and prevent the touchdown. "Actually, I was shaking when I was running because the crowd was getting into it so much," Davis said of his run. "I just got to running, kept my legs moving and kept bouncing off tacklers." On the next play, LSU quarter back Ryan Huffman rolled around the left side into the end zone to tie the game at seven. LSU recovered from a first half deficit by opening the third quar ter with an eight play, 76-yard touchdown drive. The Aggies took a 17-14 lead late in the third quarter on a 44- yard field goal by Terry Venetou- lias, and never surrendered the lead after that point.

A&M fullback Doug Carter said he felt using Thomas and Hill together not only put the talents of both on display against the Tigers, but also helped A&M wear the LSU defense down. "I think by the fourth quarter, they were tired," Carter said. "Us ing Rodney and Greg helps wear the defense down, and I think it paid off." Carter said the complete offen sive unit would capitalize from the new formation, and said he felt it was time to win a game in less-than-traditional A&M fashion - with the offense. "I believe it was the offense's time to win," Carter said. "Last week (against Stanford) the de fense won it for us. This week was a debut of a brand new of fense." : ; 2« are oiivdrded grants for fir^ndtep^flcl^nt research \2iabroad • 3. gam an understanding in international carreers INFORMRTIONRL MEETINGS: MON DRY, SEPTEMBER 7 THURSDAY.
