If a place-kicker doesn't produce, the equip ment manager will be cleaning out his locker. Elliott had a near-waiver wire experience in the Dal las Cowboys 20-10 victory over the Philadelphia Ea gles on Sunday. "I thought if I missed an other one I'd be on a bus to Waco," Elliott said. Elliott missed field goal attempts of 36 and 42 yards against the Eagles and the Texas Stadium boo birds gave the former Texas Tech star the kind of hoots they used to save for former quarter back Danny White after an interception. Elliott understood. And he was glad the coaches did, too. "The fans deserved to boo," Elliott said. "I'd miss two kicks. But nobody turned on me who wasn't in the stands. The coaches stayed with me." In particular and more importantly. Cow boys coach Jimmy Johnson. "I told him to hang in there because we needed him to kick the winning field goal in the fourth quarter," said Johnson, a psycholo gy major in college. "I told him he was going to be with us all four quarters. You can't fire your kicker during a game." It all turned around for Elliott on a kick that didn't count. He tried a 52-yard kick in the second quar ter and it would have been good. However, Dallas got a delay of game penalty. "That gave me confidence," he said. "It let me know I wasn't going to miss everything. I'd been making those kicks in practice. It wasn't like their was a force field or something around the goal posts. I felt I could do it. They didn't have a backup kicker. I felt they had to stick with me." Elliott then hit a 35-yarder just before half time and added a 48-yarder in the second. Also, all five of his kickoffs during the game went into the end zone. He won the place-kicking job in summer camp with his kickoffs, beating out Brad Daluiso, a Plan B acquisition from Buffalo. Dallas was desperate for a kicker after Ken Willis went to Tampa Bay under Plan B. "I think Lin showed a lot the way he came back," said Johnson. "I think he will be a good kicker. He has a history of consistency. He's got the ability to win games. Let's face it. We are living with a rookie kicker who's going to be a good one." Elliott missed his first field goal by hooking the ball. He pushed the second one right of the upright. "I got it corrected in time to avoid a disas ter," Elliott said. "I don't think coach Johnson has lost confidence in me. He's still calling my number. I'll be kicking against Detroit on Sun day. I know I'm a good kicker." Elliot Aggies Continued From Page 7 Although she exceeded by far any of her previous outings, Robertson was less than pleased with the final outcome. "I wanted to go out and con tribute," Robertson said. "But it's hard to get excited as an individ ual when the team doesn't do well." Givens praised Robertson for a season-long contribution that is just now starting to earn her recognition. "She's coming in off the bench and doing a good job for us," Givens said. "That was probably the best she's played all season. It's a good time for her to be peak ing. She gives us some depth." As Wednesday's match proved, depth is not a problem for Hous ton. The win raises the Cougars' SWC record to 8-1, leaving them tied with Texas for the conference lead and setting up match for all the marbles next week against the Lady Longhorns. Walton appreciated the signifi cance of pulling out a win against A&M, a victory that is just anoth er episode in Houston's roller coaster ride of a season. "Earlier in the season, we would have lost (if we were down 11-5)," Walton said about his 1W Coogs. "Tonight, you saw thema taring of our team. I think it's ood for us to have a good come ack. Earlier in the year, we lost two or three in the same situation "It looked like it was going to happen again tonight." The loss drops A&M to 3-6 in SWC play, 13-11 overall. Foster Continued From Page 7 But, this is no reason for panic. No need to start bitching at the AP writers about how A&M gets no respect. Because, if the Ag gies take care of business for the rest of this year and early next season, they will be the team to beat for the 1993 National Cham pionship. Just look at the two-deep chart the Aggies are going to have come spring practice 1993. The two-time defending Southwest Conference champions, who by then will probably have won 21- straight regular season games, will be stacked to walk through the conference race and meet one of the top teams in the nation in their third-straight Cotton Bowl. Just looking at the roster shows that if the Aggies finish this year strong, with the players that are coming back, they should be ranked in the top five, or maybe in the top two or three. The defense, with the excep tion of linebacker Marcus Buck- ley and cornerback Derrick Fra zier, will all be back. Both of those will be tough to replace, but linebackers are always a sur plus in College Station, Steve So- lari has the other outside line backing job under control, and Ray Mickens is just waiting for his chance to prove himself at right corner. As long as junior Patrick Bates is still playing free safety for A&M, throwing across the middle will be impossible without losing the head of a re ceiver. And Mickens and super comer Aaron Glenn will deny passing to the outside as well. So they'll try to run on the "Wrecking Crew" next season? Forget it! Every defensive line man will be returning, as will in side linebackers Jason Atkinson, Reggie Graham, Larry Jackson and Jessie Cox. Offensively, the Aggies will be putting everything together, and should reach numbers that will dwarf what the explosive A&M offense of '91 did. With super- backs Rodney Thomas and Greg Hill and a passing game that will have to have improved by then, 35 points a game probably won't be out of the question. The talent will be there in truckloads, now, the question is the schedule. Once again, advan tage A&M. The Aggies have a tough ear- ly-season game with Oklahoma in Norman, and after that, A&M should be able to cruise through the schedule all the way to the Thanksgiving showdown with Texas, which should, once again, be a battle for the conference ti tle. And the good thing is, that game is in Kyle Field. And, as we all know, the Aggies never lose in Kyle Field. So, impatience is something that is not needed. Don't worry about what the voters do after this season. They know who A&M has coming back, and they know that if the Aggies live up to that potential, the 1994 Cotton Bowl will be the one that deter mines the national champ.
