Texas A&M SPORTS The Battalion
Monday, November 9,1992
Freshman
By K. LEE DAVIS
Sports Writer of THE BATTALION
Freshman quarterback Corey
Pullig found out one and one half
hour before game time that he
would start Saturday against the
Louisville Cardinals.
Pullig said he was ready. And
his performance showed it.
"Starter or backup, that's not
my decision, I just try to go out
and try to get better each week
and let the coaches decide who
starts/' Pullig said.
Sophomore Jeff Granger, who
had started every previous game
during Texas A&M's undefeated
season, did not start because he
had not practiced most of the
week after suffering a mild con
cussion last week against South
ern Methodist.
When Pullig was pulled from
the game in the fourth quarter to
allow Granger some playing time,
he had led his team to 33 points,
more than any Aggie quarterback
all season.
Pullig ended up completing 14
of 22 passes for 128 yards with
one touchdown and no intercep
tions.
"He (Pullig) is a pretty cool
customer," A&M head coach R. C.
Slocum said.
Pullig played so well in fact
that he had several coaches and
players comparing him to another
A&M quarterback that made a
major impact as a true freshman,
Bucky Richardson.
"He looked like ol' Bucky for a
while there," A&M offensive coor
dinator Bob Toledo said.
"Corey's going to be an outstand
ing quarterback before he's done
Pullig steps in as Aggies' leader
here,"
Slocum said that he was not
concerned with putting Pullig into
the role of starter against the Car
dinals.
"I have never been concerned
about playing a young player,"
Slocum said. "I'm more con
cerned with the emotional maturi
ty of a player."
Sophomore right tackle Jason
Mathews also noted similarities
between Pullig and the quarter
back that led the Aggies to an un
defeated Southwest Conference
season and a Cotton Bowl berth
last year.
"He came into the huddle like
Bucky and said, 'Give me some
time and I'll complete this pass,"'
Mathews said. "It was kind of
shocking, but when he's doing as
well as he does, it doesn't matter."
Senior right guard John Ellisor
also said the best is yet to come
for Pullig.
"He (Pullig) is a great athlete
and he is going to end up being a
really special player," Ellisor said.
Ellisor added that whether Pul
lig or Granger plays, his mission
and that of his offensive line
mates stays the same.
"We don't care one way or an
other who starts, just as long as
one of them is hot and getting it
done, because we're going to
block for both of them," Ellisor
said.
Pullig took little credit for mov
ing the offense on Saturday, sug
gesting that his supporting cast
was the difference in the game.
"It's really easy to complete
passes when the offensive line is
keeping guys off of you, and the
receivers are so wide open," Pul-
BILLY MORAN/The Battalion
A&M quarterback Corey Pullig (4) delivers a pass over the
offensive line during the Aggies’ 40-18 win over Louisville
Saturday. Pullig started for the first time against the Cardinals,
going 14-for-22 for 128 yards with one touchdown.
lig said. "The offense in general
is clicking a little bit better now,
and the coaches did a great job of
calling plays, so it made it a little
bit easier."
Mathews added that while Pul
lig may have played well Satur
day, he will be treated the same as
before at practice on Monday.
"We're not cutting him any
slack," Mathews laughed. "He's
still a freshman, we'll just pro
mote him on gameday."
As for who will be the starting
quarterback for the Aggies Thurs
day against the University of
Houston?
"It's not in my best interest to
name a starter at this time/'
Slocum said.
Whitley

19, started for the first time
against Louisville and promptly
took charge.
He completed 14 of 22 passes
for 128 yards, including a six-
yarder to Brian Mitchell for the
first score of the game. But more
than that, Pullig scrambled under
pressure and gained yardage in
clutch situations just like Bucky
did so many times before. Pullig
ran for three first downs, one of
them a 12-yard jaunt on a third-
and-11 to keep a crucial scoring
drive alive.
The offense played so well
that some were actually criticiz
ing the defense after giving up 12
points at the half. Those criti
cisms, however, were quickly put
to rest in the second half when it
totally shut out the Cardinals in
total offense.
The offense played so well
that Louisville head coach
Howard Schnellenberger gave
the Aggies the type of praise that
no opposing coach has given this
year.
"They played flawless, error-
free offense," Schnellenberger
said. He ought to know. He won
a national title at Miami with the
ultimate souped-up offense.
So now the Aggies take their
blessings and head to the As
trodome in Houston, where in
three days, they take on the
Cougars.
Enter the Lord again.
In a true form of heavenly in
spiration and in the truest form
of poetic justice. Southern
Methodist University garnered
revenge over its greatest foe. Af
ter suffering the humiliation of a
95-21 defeat against Houston in
1989, the Mustangs returned the
favor with a 41-16 drubbing Sat
urday in Dallas.
The freshmen who remem
bered that horrible day three
years ago are now seniors who
felt vindicated with the win.
And for a football program
whose status will be in the bal
ance when the school decides its
fate on Dec. 4, the faces of those
players do a lot for its cause.
And God saw that it was
good.
If you still are not a true be
liever, you need not look any fur
ther than Fort Worth. Even the
most devout Bible-thumpers
didn't give Texas Christian a
chance against the anti-Christs of
Texas. After all. Longhorns have
been beating Frogs ever since
1967. Texas came into the game
looking solid, and TCU came in
quivering like Jell-O.
But somehow, the Frogs pre
vailed, 23-14.
Peter Gardere was mincemeat
for TCU's new, improved "Pur
ple People Eater" defense. He
fell victim to three interceptions
and seven sacks for losses total
ing 42 yards.
The win was a shot in the arm
for new TCU head coach Pat Sul
livan, whose job might have been
saved with the win. It also gave
the fans at Amon Carter their
first opportunity to see a home
victory over Texas since Eisen
hower was president.
And God saw that it was
good.
In Houston, the same Rice
team that was blown off Kyle
Field a scant three weeks ago de
molished Texas Tech, 34-3. As
with Sullivan, Rice's win might
have given a reprieve to Rice
head man Fred Goldsmith.
It also marked the first time
that Rice, SMU and TCU each
won Southwest Conference
games on the same day since No
vember 12, 1949! On that day,
the fifth-ranked team in the coun
try was Rice.
Forty-three years later, Texas
A&M can gladly give up its No. 5
spot to assume a position one
step higher. After sitting for
what seems like forever at the
fifth-ranked spot and watching
three teams jump ahead of them
during that time, the Aggies fi
nally made it to the final four.
But that only happened after
another miracle in Tucson.
Washington managed only a
field goal in its 16-3 loss to 12th-
ranked Arizona, dropping the
Huskies to sixth and moving
everyone else up one.
Now, the only thing separat
ing A&M from a national cham
pionship rendezvous with Miami
is Alabama. 'Alabama would
draw Miami toward the Sugar
Bowl if the Tide stayed at No. 2
to set up a title showdown.
That's why the congregation
of Aggies need the Lord to per
form another miracle next week
in Starkville, Miss. If former
A&M coach Jackie Sherrill can
work his Mississippi State magic
against 'Bama, then the men in
maroon can win all of its games
and set the stage for a Cotton
Bowl to decide the national
championship on New Year's
Day.
And God would see that as
good.
