Big 8 defuses
SWC chances
for respect
ORMAN, OK - During the
late 1960s, the University of
Texas head coach Darrell Roy
al often made his
feelings known
about the prefer
ential treatment
teams like Notre
Dame received
from members of
the associated
press. Royal had
quite a few good
Longhorn teams back in those days
and he felt his squad, as well as teams
like the University of Arkansas and
Texas A&M University, should get a
little recognition for their abilities on
a national basis.
Royal, who coached for 20 seasons
at Texas and had a team that won 30
straight games at one time, had often
said it would never be easy for a team
from his league to get enough votes
to be the national champion.
Royal once even went so far as to
say that if a Southwest Conference
team was going to win the national ti
tle, that team would have to go unde
feated and Notre Dame would have
to lose two games.
More than 20 years later, A&M
head coach R.C. Slocum was proba
bly feeling the same way after his
A&M squad went 12-0 through the
1992 regular season, yet had climbed
only as high as number 4 in the AP
poll.
But after watching Slocum's Ag
gies get beaten all over the field by
the University of Oklahoma Satur
day, it looks as if it would take a lot
more than two Notre Dame losses for
the voters to place a SWC team in the
top spot.
It seems many of us around these
parts, myself included, felt the Aggies

The Battalion
NORMAN, OK - Last week, the Texas
A&M football team talked about the
chance they had to make a national state
ment with a win over the Oklahoma
Sooners.
A statement was made, but it was not
by the Aggies.
Seventeenth - ranked Oklahoma (2-0)
walloped the fifth-ranked Aggies 44-14
on Saturday before 68, 211 people at
Memorial Stadium, putting an emphatic
end to A&M's 22-game regular-season
winning streak.
The Aggies drop to 1-1 for the season.
"We had a chance to make a state
ment," A&M coach R.C. Slocum said.
"We probably made a statement, but it
was the wrong one. OU stopped us dra
matically and it was a thorough win for
them."
A&M's offense sputtered for most of
the game under the direction of sopho
more quarterback Corey Pullig as the Ag
gies had trouble establishing a running
game or a passing attack. The end result
was the defense spending almost twice as
long on the field as did the offense.
"Our defense played too long and as
they stayed on the field, I thought they
began to lose some of their zip," Slocum
said.
Senior defensive end Eric England said

, The Battalion
NORMAN, OK - Texas A&M head
coach R.C. Slocum would not comment
directly Saturday on the NCAA suspen
sions of five Aggie players but said it
had no affect on his team losing to Okla
homa 44-14.
he still has the utmost confidence in
A&M's offense but he began to feel the fa
tigue in the second half.
"I'm not going to ever give up on our
offense," England said. "I have confi
dence in our offense because I know we
have talent. As a defensive unit, we were
out there a long time and got winded.
"I would never say that," Slocum said.
"We had every opportunity to come up
here and play but we didn’t get the job
done."
A&M quarterback Corey Pullig also
would not use the suspensions as an ex
cuse for the loss.
"I don't think that distracted us a bit)"
he said. "You can't take anything away
"What we did, we did to our our
selves."
But Pullig did not provide much sup
port.
He threw three interceptions and
passed for only 84 yards before being re
placed by sophomore Tommy Preston in
the fourth quarter.
from Oklahoma. They played a good
game."
The team learned of the suspensions
before leaving for Oklahoma. 1
"I told them at practice (Friday) just
about the time we were about to leave,"
Slocum said. "I tried to make it as clear
as I could that we would not use it as an
excuse for whatever happened. I don't
"We have a young quarterback and he
played like a young quarterback," Slocum
said. "He struggled in the game and
made some bad decisions. The inability
of Pullig to throw the football allowed
them to overplay our run."

think it had anything to do with this
game."
Slocum said he will talk to interim
president E. Dean Gage privately about
the matter this week.
"I want to get back and get with my
president and the people at A&M and
we'll decide what we want to do,"
