Elliot knows pressure on NFL kickers
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING — Lin Elliott is a rookie who
knows how the NFL works. 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."

Aggies

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.

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.
