Do not try to tell Southern Methodist head
football coach Tom Rossley about moral victo
ries. That is the last thing he wants to think
about.
The second-year SMU boss saw his team
nearly pull off the biggest upset at the school
since the Mustangs returned from the NCAA
"death penalty" in 1989 last weekend in Lub
bock against Texas Tech. SMU held a 25-20
lead late in the third quarter in that contest be
fore Tech put on a late comeback, defeating
SMU 39-25.
The positives for SMU in the game were
many. Quarterback Dan Freiburger had his
fifth game this season with more than 200
yards passing. The SMU defense grabbed four
turnovers in the first half, in-
with their young quarterbacks."
Rossley has a pretty impressive young
quarterback himself in the form of Freiburger,
who has led the Mustangs' run-and-shoot of
fense this year with a .585 completion percent
age and 1,639 yards passing. Those are not
bad numbers, especially since Freiburger had
virtually no experience in the sport when he
entered SMU.
"This is Dan Freiburger's first year to play a
lot of football," Rossley said about his quarter
back, who suffered from mononucleosis and
hepatitis before entering SMU. "He didn't
play at all in high school.
"I think he's improved a lot each week. I
think he's got confidence in himself, and as a
result, the other players are confident in his
ability."
Freiburger is not the only area of confidence
eluding strong safety Richie
Butler's 62-yard interception
return for a touchdown. And
receiver Jason Wolf edged his
way up the Southwest Confer
ence all-time leaders list to
third behind ex-Houston
Cougars Jason Phillips and
Manny Hazard.
But Rossley is more con
cerned with the Final score,
which will always be the most
important statistic in any sport.
"That (turnovers) is going to be a
key for us. A&M's offense has got
ten better each week with their
young quarterbacks."
- SMU head coach Torn Rossley

T think our players played hard for the first
three quarters," Rossley said Wednesday.
"But it's hard to find a lot of good in a loss."
Rossley did find a few rays of hope with his
defense, whose swarming style is reminiscent
of the style utilized by Atlanta Falcons head
coach and Rossley's former boss, Jerry
Glanville.
"They played hard on defense," he said. "It
(Butler's touchdown) was the first time we've
had a defensive touchdown since coming back
from the death penalty.
"That (turnovers) is going to be a key for us.
A&M's offense has gotten better each week
for the Mustangs, whose 3-4 start has already
guaranteed them of their best record since
1986.
Rossley said that while his players are not
on par with Texas A&M yet, the future might
hold better things for the Mustangs, and they
are starting to believe it.
"I think they do think they can win," Ross
ley said. "They know they're going to have to
play their best and that tney're going to have
to have the ball bounce their way.
"We're getting closer to the level they're
playing at."
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum is well aware
of the ever-rising Mustangs. SMU'sSfn
laden team owns more overall experientf;
any other team in the SWC Andoppc-j
