Oklahoma will
make or break
A&M's season
T he an
swer to
A&M's
national cham-
p i o n s h i p
prayers has
been provided.
This Saturday,
the Aggies will
finally have a
chance to sink
their teeth into
a respected op
ponent.
A big win
would justify
the number
five ranking,
would shut up
ESPN's Lee Corso, and would prove
once and for all that A&M is a team
to be reckoned with on a national ba
sis.
Just one problem.
The Aggies will be facing the 17th
ranked Oklahoma Sooners at their
place with a television audience pro
vided by ABC. The Sooners will be
led by a hot quarterback, senior Cale
Gundy, who thrashed TCU last week
end with 246 yards and a hotter head
coach.
Gary Gibbs has said recently that
A&M has been guilty of negative re
cruiting and cheating. I guess when
he said that he forgot about those
small incidents concerning guns and
drugs in Soonerland a few years ago.
Maybe they have cleaned up Okla
homa but not to the point they can
beat the University of Texas.
A&M's biggest concern on Satur
day will not be Gibbs and his at
tempts to save his job through the
press. It will be the Oklahoma of
fense. When Gundy gets rolling, he is
very hard to stop. That task will fall

Aggies versus Sooners
A&M renews rivalry with
#17 Oklahoma Saturday
By Matthew J. Rush
The Battalion
After dominating Louisiana
State last Saturday, the 5th-
ranked Texas A&M Aggies will
battle the 17th-ranked Okla
homa Sooners in Norman this
weekend.
The history of these two
teams is well-established, but
Gibbs accuses A&M of
negative recruiting

not between each other. With a
mutual nemesis in the Universi
ty of Texas, the two teams have
only met a total of 12 times in
nearly 100 years of collegiate
play.
The Aggies have posted a ca
reer 5-7 record against the
Sooners and are trying to break
a dismal 1-6 record at Memorial
Stadium in Norman. However,
in the last meeting in 1951 the
Aggies did post a 14-7 victory at
College Station.
A&M's 1993 schedule fea
tures a tough opponent in Okla
homa at the expense of weaker
traditional contests against
smaller schools. Head coach
R.C. Slocum said that when the
opportunity to play Oklahoma
presented itself, he felt the
matchup would be a better
challenge for his team.
"I thought it would be good
for us/' Slocum said. "If we go
