quarter, sacking Tulsa quarter
back Gus Frerotte and stripping
the ball.
Buckley, not being one to rest
on his laurels, then rolled over
and recovered the fumble on the
Tulsa 47, a play that resulted in no
points but stopped a Tulsa drive
and helped spark the rest of the
"Crew" throughout the duration
of the game.
"I just try to play hard every
single down," an understated
Buckley said, "and when you do
that sometimes you make the big
plays."
A&M noseguard Eric England,
however, was a little more com
plimentary in his assessment of
Buckley's performance.
"I thought the defense played
really well, and we had Marcus
Buckley back to his old form,"
England said.
Frazier's big moment came ear
lier on, when he picked off a
Frerotte pass intended for receiver
Gary Brown near midfield, end
ing the Golden Hurricane's game
opening 33-yard drive.
Following the game, Frazier
was humble about his intercep
tion streak, one that might pull
him out of former A&M corner-
back Kevin Smith's shadow.
"I've had a pretty good start,"
Frazier said. "I just hope I can
keep it up the rest of the season."
Although both Buckley and
Frazier started quickly, they,
along with the rest of the defense,
were thrown into the fire at the
end of the first half when Tulsa
defensive tackle Cory Lax recov
ered a Rodney Thomas fumble on
A&M's 21.
Instead of folding their tents
and settling for a 10-3 deficit, the
Aggies instead bowed up and put
on a clinic on how to play defense
under pressure.
Eric Lange's ensuing 40-yard
field goal did give the Hurricane a
6-3 advantage, but the signifi
cance of not allowing a touch
down was great enough to offset
Tulsa's lead.
"We don't like giving up the
ball in our end of the field," Fra
zier said. "But when we did and
then stopped then^i, that just broke
their offense's confidence and
Texas A&M, by virtue of a 19-9
win over Tulsa, was voted the
fifth-ranked team in the country
in this week's Associated Press
Top 25 poll.
The Aggies (3-0) moved up two
spots from last week's poll after
their win over the Golden Hurri
cane kept them undefeated. A&M
also received one first-place vote.
San Diego State gained its first
ranking in 15 years and Notre
Dame dropped four spots after a
controversial tie with Michigan.
San Diego State, which opened
with a tie against Southern Cal,
moved up to No. 23 after beating
Brigham Young 45-38 Thursday.
It's the Aztecs' first appearance in
the poll since finishing 16th fol
lowing the 1977 season.
Notre Dame fell to No. 7 after
tying Michigan 17-17 in a game
that ended with Irish fans booing
their own team for conservative
play-calling on the final series.
The Irish are now one spot below
Michigan, which remained No. 6.
Miami, which didn't play Sat
urday, held onto the top ranking
with 47 first-place votes and 1,534
points from a nationwide panel of
sports writers and broadcasters.
Washington stayed No. 2 fol
lowing a 27-10 victory over Wis

Granger said after the victory
over Tulsa. "Our offense put
them in scoring position, and our
defense didn't let them get a
touchdown. Our team was play
ing a really physical game, and I
thought we got better as the game
progressed."
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum
echoed Granger's comments that
his team has seemed to progress
as each game goes on.
"I think we got stronger
tonight in the fourth quarter,"
Slocum said after the Tulsa game.
"I think all season we've been a
stronger team in the fourth quar
ter."
Atkinson said one of the rea
sons A&M has been able to pull
out fourth-quarter wins is that the
Aggies stress playing the entire
game.
"It doesn't matter who wins
the first three quarters, as long as
we win the fourth quarter,"
Atkinson said. "These first three
games we've had to struggle, but
our defense and offense are get
ting better about coming together
in the end.
"All we ever want to do is win,
and it doesn't matter who is win
ning at the half. We proved that
we're a real fourth quarter team,
because we came together and
put points on the board in the last
quarter."
"We talk a lot about the fourth
quarter," Hill added. "Every
practice we hold up four fingers
to signify that in every game
there's four quarters, and we have
to play the entire game."
Golden Hurricane headcoad
Dave Rader, who saw his team
eight-game winning streak bn
with the loss to A&M, said
Aggie defense took over in
second half and didn't allow
team a chance to get back in fe
game.
"We're very disappointed wit
the loss," Rader said. "Onot
fense, we couldn't do anythingin
the second half. Their defen!
was dominating. They playdj
very well against us."
No matter how the
went about winning their
game. Granger said all thatmai
ters was that his squad, which
now ranked fifth in the nations
still undefeated.
"It's nice to be 3-0," Grange
said. "It's been a long time sine
Texas A&M was 3-0, and it's nie
to be part of an undefeated team’
gave us momentum."
"We knew we had to stop
them, and we didn't do a good job
of that last season," Buckley said.
As it turned out, the Hurricane
could manage only one more field
goal in the entire second half. The
role his two seniors played in that
shutdown was not lost on Slocum.
"When things go bad and you
need a big play, you usually get
one from the seniors," Slocum
said. "You are always happy to
have guys like that, and I wish I
had more of them."

minutes compared to the 19 min
utes that Tulsa had possession.
Halftime: Tulsa 6, A&M 3.
"We expected Tulsa to be
ready to play, and we knew they
were a good team," A&M center
Chris Dausin said after the game.
"We had some problems execut
ing offensively in the first half.
We weren't surprised with how
well Tulsa played. After last
year, we knew they had a good
defensive unit.
"We hurt ourselves a lot,
though. Even when one person
isn't executing, it hurts the of
fense."
Fortunately for the Aggies, the
situation in 1991 reversed itself
on Saturday. Last year, the Ag
gies played a stellar first half and
gave the game away late. This
time, A&M turned it up a notch
late in the game to keep from giv
ing it away.
Greg Hill had eight carries for
39 yards in the opening drive of
the second half, including an
eight-yard scamper in the end
zone that would end up being the
game-winning touchdown.
Then, Hill cushioned A&M's
lead with a 12-yard touchdown
reception from Jeff Granger. Hill
ended up with 125 rushing and
25 receiving yards. It marked the
seventh time in his career that he
has surpassed 100 yards rushing
- not bad for someone who's only
played 15 games.
After the game. Hill admitted
that the defense, which kept Tul
sa to three field goals instead of
three touchdowns, was again the
true MVP.
"We know we're going to
have a great defense," Hill said.
"It seems like sometimes the of
fense struggles, but the defense
never struggles."
This game reinforced the no
tion that the Aggies are turning
into a second-half team. They
have been behind at halftime
twice already this season. In con
trast, last year, A&M led in every
regular season game at the half.
Last year, this team didn't
need to prove anything by the
end of the game. This time, the
Aggies have to prove it.
"All we ever want to do is
win, and it doesn't matter who's
winning at the half," linebacker
Jason Atkinson said. "Coach
(R.C.) Slocum said he looks atit
like a boxing match. When
you've got them back on the
ropes the entire time and you go
back and forth, what matters is
whoever is stronger in the fourth
quarter.
"We proved that we're a real
fourth quarter team."
And they will have to keep on
proving it this season.
The Aggies are now the fifth-
ranked team in the nation. They
are undefeated in three games.
Now, they head north to take on
a nationally-obscure Missouri
team, who doesn't have the talent
A&M does, but plays deceptively
well at home.
So, watch out. It could end up
being another Tulsa.
