"From a standpoint of tech
nique and style it might not have
been our best game, but it terms
of character it was one of our
best," A&M defensive coordina
tor Bob Davie said. "Our guys
played with an awful lot of heart.
I am very proud."
Davie added that he was excit
ed with the nature of the shutout.
"I'm proud of the way we
played, but I'm more proud of
getting out of the first half with
out giving up a touchdown,"
Davie said. "That was tougher
because they had their opportuni
ties but we made the plays when
we had to make them."
A&M inside linebacker Jason
Atkinson concurred.
"I am extremely excited to
have a shutout," Atkinson said.
"It is something we have strived
for and this was our kind of
game. We knew if they don't
score, they don't win.
"This was the best I have ever
seen our defense play together be
cause everybody was focused.
We took their heart away."

ceptions for 91 yards and two
touchdowns.
On the second touchdown
McElroy was able to show the
crowd of 61,307 his speed and
pass-catching ability on a short
screen pass.
"The ball was kind of low so
I had to adjust and make the
catch," McElroy said.
"We caught them blitzing
and that's the type of screen
where you catch the defense
coming after you and it ends up
a big play.
"All I saw was turf, (and) all I
had to do was slow down a little
bit to catch the ball."
Thomas did not slow down
at all as he amassed the ninth
most rushing yards in A&M his
tory. Most of his yardage came
on a 80-yard touchdown run ex
ploding through the left side of
the offensive line.
"It was one of those plays
just like any other play,"
Thomas said. "But things devel
oped just right; things happened
at the right time. There were
good blocks, perfect timing and
it was off to the races."
Thomas said he felt proud for
what he and his team accom
plished Saturday.
"I'm proud of myself because
I stuck it out when things got
kind of hard," Thomas said. "I
feel very happy that I got the
yards but I'm also happy be
cause as an offensive unit we es
tablished ourselves. We got off
to a good start and I believe
things are going to work out for
us."
The two backs also had
praise for each other.
"Rodney is just a great tail
back," McElroy said. "He's been
there before; he did his job and
everything came out okay."
"I think Leeland did a great
job," Thomas said.
"I like the way he came in.
He was a little nervous at first,
but when he got that first play
and some other carries it helped
him. I'm proud of him." j

Oilers take it on the chin as Saints
win 33-21 blowout in Superdome
The Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS
Saints — devastating defense and the sure foot of Morten Andersen.
New Orleans beat the Houston Oilers 33-21 Sunday night behind
Andersen's four field goals.
New Orleans took a quarter to get to Houston quarterback Warren
Moon, then built the pressure throughout the game. They sacked him
three times, including a 10-yard pounding by Vince Buck in the fourth
quarter that forced a fumble and left Moon stunned on the Superdome
carpet until he was helped to the sidelines.
Andersen kicked field goals of 28, 37, 18 and 47 yards. It was the
10th time in his career that Andersen kicked four field goals in a game.
His 24 consecutive field goals tied the NFL record held by Kevin Butler
of the Chicago Bears.
The Oilers made it 33-21 with just under three minutes left when
Marcus Robertson recovered a fumble by Lorenzo Neal and ran it 80
yards for a score.

called at halftime, A&M's per
fect season would have fallen to
7-5.
And Saturday, A&M would
have been tagged for an 0-0-1
mark in '93.
But the first half is an adjust
ing phase. After all, if A&M's
opponents did what A&M ex
pected them to do, there
wouldn't be a need for a football
game.
In the first half, LSU's offen
sive coordinator Lynn Amedee
used a two tight end set to keep
A&M outside linebackers Anto
nio Shorter and Steve Solari off
of sophomore quarterback
Jamie Howard. They also ran
up the middle to counter
A&M's blitz.
That was the same tactic used
by the Howard Schnellenberger-
led Louisville Cardinals last sea
son. LSU also utilized the tal
ents of center David Mawae to
clear running room.
But the two tight end protec
tion for Howard didn't last the
half, and he nearly didn't as So
lari and Shorter sandwiched
him on third down of the
Tigers' final first half posses
sion.
And Howard trotted off the
field weaving from left to right,
until an offensive lineman
helped guide the woozy quar
terback to the bench where he
could take off his helmet and
put his head in his hands.
In the second half, Howard's
protection dried up for good,
and so did LSU's running game.
The Tigers' total offense consist
ed of 67 yards in the second
half, compared to 139 in the
first.
"By the half, we had taken
their best shot - they kept try
ing, kept trying and couldn't
score," A&M senioTinside line
backer Ja§on Atkinson said.
"We took their h£art away and
pounded them into submission.
"(This is) the best I've ever
seen the defense play."
A&M's offense, behind the
strength of Rodney Thomas and
Leeland McElroy's running,
busted loose in the second half,
gaining 341 total yards com
pared to 121 in the first.
A&M coach R.C. Slocum said
his team would now work on
the necessary adjustments for
next week's clash with Okla
homa.
"It's much easier to go back
and correct mistakes after a vic
tory, but win or lose, you still
have major adjustments to make
after the first game," Slocum
said. "Most football teams im
prove from their first game to
their second game more than
any other time during the year.
"Just finding a way to win
your first game is something
that's tremendously important."
A&M defensive coordinator
Bob Davie said he couldn't com
pletely evaluate his players' per
formances because he had not
seen the films of the game, but
said he could at least be happy
with the outcome of his team's
first action of the season.
"The only thing I can judge
on right now is the final score,
and I'll take that any time,"
Davie said. "Any time you're a
defensive coach and you
haven't scrimmaged, you're just
going into a crapshoot - you're
rolling the dice."
He didn't mention how
loaded the dice were.
