fenses are also similar in that
when any member of the unit,
from the center on up to the
quarterback, shoots himself in
the foot on a regular basis, the
whole offense is wounded.
In Houston's case, they
have been their own worst en
emy this season. In their 41-16
loss to Southern Methodist last
weekend, the Cougars' shaky
offensive line allowed the
Mustangs' undersized defense
to rack up five sacks and three
interceptions while SMU's
own modified version of the
run-and-shoot hit on all cylin
ders.
For coaches like the Univer
sity of Texas' John Mackovic,
defending the run-and-shoot is
a matter of trying to slow it
down and waiting for those
key mistakes.
" (The key is) trying to keep
as much containment on the
receivers as possible, which
everyone tries to do," Mack
ovic says. "They keep you off-
balance.
"The biggest thing is that
you have to be in a position to
be around the ball all of the
time. In the run-and-shoot, the
ball is across the line of scrim
mage all of the time."
When the Longhorns
played Houston in October,
Mackovic's scheme seemed to
be that the best defense is a
good offense as Texas came
from behind to beat UH 45-38.
Texas Christian took a simi
lar approach on Oct. 31. The
Horned Frogs tried to outgun
the Cougars but came up short
in Houston's 49-46 win.
That game again showed
how vulnerable the run-and-
shoot is to turnovers. TCU
had touchdowns on a Tony
Rand interception and a Lenoy
Jones fumble recovery, in ad
dition to another touchdown
on a blocked punt, making for
a final score that was much
closer than the game itself.
What both of those games
proved in the end is that, at
least in the SWC, a team needs
a good defense to win on a
consistent basis. Houston,
Texas and Texas Tech have all
three made that painfully ob
vious.
Which brings us to A&M's
"Wrecking Crew" defense,
who will have the ghost of As
trodome trips past to deal with
Thursday.
The last time the Aggies
played in the 'Dome, David
Klingler led UH to a 36-31 win,
putting a major dent in A&M's
Cotton Bowl hopes. And even
last year, Klingler and compa
ny put a scare into the Aggies
at Kyle Field, losing 27-18.
It would be tempting for
A&M defenders to relax
against Houston. The
Cougars' offensive line is weak
with the pass and the run.
There are no tight ends or full
backs to try and block outside
linebackers Marcus Buckley
and Steve Solari. And Jimmy
Klingler, like his brother, is not
known for having a knack for
evading pass rushers.
Consequently, it will be in
teresting to see what A&M de
fensive coordinator Bob Davie
will throw at John Jenkins'
run-and-shoot. He has already
proven this year that he can
adjust to radical shifts in oppo
nents' offensive schemes, as
witnessed against Rice and,
most recently, Louisville. That
leaves the run-and-shoot as
the final frontier for Davie's
crew to conquer.

Young, 49ers blow
by Falcons, 41-3
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTA — The San Francis
co 49ers made sure there
wouldn't be an end-of-the-game
"Hail Mary" winner for Atlanta
this time.
Steve Young passed for three
touchdowns and the 49ers de
fense came up with six turnovers
Monday night to crush the Fal
cons 41-3 for the second time in
three weeks.
The 49ers (7-2) climbed back
into a tie with New Orleans for
first place in the NFC West and
the Falcons fell to 3-6.
Young's scoring passes cov
ered 12 yards to Odessa Turner in
the first quarter, 21 yards to Ricky
Watters in the second and 19
yards to Jerry Rice in the final pe
riod.
Merton Hanks fielded a bounc
ing punt less than two minutes af
ter the Rice touchdown and re
turned it 48 yards for another
score.
The Niners, who buried At
lanta 56-17 three weeks earlier in
San Francisco, have twice been
victims of "Hail Mary" passes in
Atlanta — losing 17-14 last year
and 28-24 in 1983.
Tom Rathman scored the other
touchdown on a 2-yard run and
Mike Cofer kicked field goals of
40 and 32 yards.
Atlanta got a 33-yard field goal
from Norm Johnson with two sec
onds left in the half, cutting the
lead to 14-3. It capped a 75-yard
drive in which Billy Joe Tolliver
accounted for all the yardage
while completing six of eight
passes.
The tone was set early when
Keith Jones took in a short pass
from Tolliver and fumbled it
away, Bill Romanowski claiming
it for the 49ers on the Atlanta 48.
It took nine plays for Young to
convert it into a lead the 49ers
never lost. Young completed four
passes for 34 yards and Watters
ran for 17 yards in the drive that
ended with the 12-yard pass to
Turner with 4:54 left in the first
period.
The 49ers failed to convert an
other first-quarter turnover into
points.
Three plays after the Young to
Turner touchdown, Don Griffin
intercepted a Tolliver pass off An
dre Rison's hands at the Atlanta
43. San Francisco failed to move
and had to punt.
San Francisco also wasted a 43-
yard run by Watters to its 48 after
Johnson had punted 37 yards on a
fake field goal, out of bounds on
the 49ers 2.
Young set up his 21-yard scor
ing pass to Watters with a 20-
yarder to Brent Jones at the At
lanta 31 late in the second quarter.
Gofer's first field goal capped a
25-yard, eight-play drive and the
32-yarder came after Rison's fum
ble was recovered by Michael Mc-
Gruder on the Atlanta 35.
Deion Sanders dropped the en
suing kickoff and Amp Lee recov
ered at the Atlanta 26, setting up
Rathman's 2-yard scoring run.
Baseball expansion draft
protection list released
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK- Tim Wallach,
Carlton Fisk and Bryan Harvey
were among those left off protect
ed lists Monday as major league
teams decided which players to
expose during next week's expan
sion draft.
Pittsburgh playoff star Bob
Walk also will be available when
the Colorado Rockies and Florida
Marlins each pick 36 players in
next Tuesday's draft.
Major league teams were re
quired to submit a list by 2 p.m.
EST Monday of the 15 players
each wanted to protect. The com
plete lists, which were sent to the
Rockies and Marlins, the commis-
sioner's office and the Major
League Baseball Players' Associa
tion, were not to be made public
and were cloaked in secrecy.
Wallach, Fisk and Walk all
agreed to waive the no-trade
rights they earned as players who
have spent 10 years in the majors,
including the last five with the
same team.
"I don't think I'm going to be
drafted but if there's a team that
might draft me, it would be the
Marlins because they seem to
have the money," Wallach said
Monday. "But I don't really have
a preference where I go. I'd rather
stay in Montreal because we have
a chance to win. The guy who is
going to take my spot on the pro
tected list might be a guy who
might help us win next year."
Besides those on the protected
list, there are two kinds of players
who are not eligible for the draft
— those with no big-league expe
rience and fewer than three years
of pro ball if they signed at age
19, or those with no major-league
experience and fewer than four
years of pro ball if they signed at
18.
Aggies

salvage their season and that has
made the short week a little more
exciting.
"The smaller amount of prac
tice has scared us a little because
we have figured that they will
give us their best game," he said.
"Right now, we are clicking on of
fense and we are a little bit better
team-wise, so handling the short
week should not be difficult."
Both Dausin and Solari said the
short week worries will be dis
missed once the game starts.
"When that kickoff comes off
the tee, the adrenaline will take
over and anything negative will
be lost," Solari said. "All the
preparation will take over and it
will be time to play. This will be a
great game for us to get exposure
and play like we are capable of."
"Game time is when every
thing is forgotten," Dausin said.
"We will be ready to play."
Solari agreed that the Aggies
will have to be prepared to strap
on the chinstraps and play. The
contest, which will be televised on
ESPN, will bring out the best ef
fort Houston can muster. He said
the Cougars 41-16 loss to SMU
last Saturday should not play a
part in the game, but only time
will tell.
"All that happened last week is
just that, last week," Solari said.
"Houston will be a different team
Thursday night, especially since
they are playing us. It seems like
everybody plays us tough and
everybody remembers the last
time we played at the Astrodome
(a 36-31 A&M loss) so nothing
should be taken for granted.
"We are going to have our
hands full going into the As
trodome."
Slocum concurred with Solaris
statements.
"That loss to SMU will have no
effect on our game," Slocum said
"The team we play in Houston
will be a totally different team
than played up in Ownby Stadi
um last Saturday. They will be
playing in the Astrodome in front
of their home crowd.
"We will have our work cut
out for us."
Dausin said that A&M should
have no problems overcoming all
the negatives associated with the
short week and Houston. He
added that the national exposure
for Aggies will provide a good
medium for the rest of the country
to see what A&M has to offer.
"We have an opportunity to
show the nation that we are for
real and I am excited about the
game being on ESPN," Dausin
said. "I thought we had a good
showing against Louisville last
weekend where we showed that
we have a good program.
"This game provides us a way'
to show that we are having a good
year. We will be ready, short
preparation or not."
