+ six turnovers = a disastrous 44-
14 loss. This column is not de
voted entirely to what happened
on Owen Field. It IS about what
can take place over the balance
of this season.
To get the full picture of what
happened, we need to take a
brief look at the game from the
Sooners' perspective. Here's a
team that has fallen from the na
tional spotlight over the last five
years. They were a mediocre 5-
4-2 last season.
This game was their opportu
nity to prove themselves against
a highly ranked national power
and they took complete advan
tage of it. A&M never stopped
Oklahoma's misdirection run
ning game and that, coupled
with a lethargic Aggie offense,
was what did it.
Give them some credit. They
beat A&M. Period.
The most important thing
A&M can do right now is deter
mine what goals can and cannot
be reached. Going undefeated is
obviously out of the question. A
national championship is all but
impossible considering the pre
cipitous drop in the polls.
What is reachable is a third
straight unbeaten season in the
conference. No Aggie team has
ever accomplished this feat. A
third straight Cotton Bowl is
there for the taking. These may
not sound as attractive right
now, but it would be silly to
abandon these seemingly "less
er" goals simply because of one
game.
It's like a child who says "if I
can't have all of the candy, I
don't want any of it." It's self-
defeating to think like that.
An often overlooked aspect of
college football is the mental and
emotional approach. It's often
just as important as having the
good players, but is much harder
to evaluate. How a team handles
adversity is more important than
how it handles victory.
For the first time in A&M
head coach R.C. Slocum's tenure,
the Aggies have to bounce back
not only from a jarring loss, but
also a protracted player eligibili
ty battle with the NCAA. I have
the utmost confidence in Slocum
and his staff from the standpoint
that they are running a program
that is honest and aboveboard in
all respects.
What is not as clear is how the
team will respond. I don't mean
that to sound as if I am down on
the Aggies, because I'm not.
This is still an excellent team
with loads of talent.
What I am trying to get across
is that A&M can go one of two
directions. They could either (1)
start pointing fingers, divide into
cliques, blame the coaches and
generally fall apart at the seams
or (2) tighten the circle, leave last
week behind and tend to the
business at hand.
I think Texas A&M will re
spond in a positive manner.
This is a group of players that
has enjoyed tremendous success
and have enough pride to be an
gry at last week's performance.
The NCAA song-and-dance is
over and done with.
There has been a week to
evaluate and address strengths
and weaknesses. Good teams re
spond to a loss with even more
determination. Bad teams roll
over and die. A&M is good.
Enough said.

maximize our efforts offensively,
but mixing up the offensive play
calling is a definite part of our
game plan.
"We're still playing with a lot
of young guys," Stull said. "Last
year they played most of the sea
son and gained a lot of experi
ence."
The biggest concern for the Ag
gies, however, will be the play of
quarterback Jeff Handy.
Handy, a junior, set the Big-8
record for the most passing yards
as a sophomore in 1992 with 2,463
yards.
In Handy's first start against
Oklahoma State last season, he
passed for 485 yards and 3 touch
downs.
Handy picked up where he left
off last year as he passed for 281
yards and two touchdowns with
no interceptions in leading his
team to a decisive 31-3 season
opening victory against Illinois
last week.
Slocum said he knows that
Missouri is a much improved
team from a year ago and is
preparing for them accordingly.
"They're a much better team
this year," Slocum said. "They
have all the makings of a great
football team," .
Slocum also said Missouri has
added some new wrinkles to the
offense that could cause problems
for A&M's defense.
"They have the ability to run
screens, draws and quick passes
which takes a lot of our blitz pack
ages away," Slocum said. "They
have a quarterback and receivers
that are very good and on defense
they have overall great speed."
The defense, however, was
subject to injuries last week.
Slocum said he thinks that the in
juries will not figure into this
week's game.
"We're expecting (Steve) Solari,
(Ray) Mickens and England to
play," Slocum said. "Eric is the
most questionable, but he will not
practice this week so that we can
hopefully have him for the game."
On Thursday, Slocum upgrad
ed all his injured players to proba
ble status for Saturday.

IRVING — Emmitt Smith and
Jerry Jones ended their contract
feud Thursday. The cost: millions
of dollars out of Jones' pocket and
two lost football games.
Smith, who had watched on
television while the defending Su
per Bowl champion Dallas Cow
boys lost both games they played
without him, reached an agree
ment with Jones that could make
him the highest paid running
back in the game.
"I got what I wanted. I wanted
to be the highest paid running
back in the NFL,'' said Smith.
"But it was the hardest thing for
me to do, to sit in the living room
and w atch my teammates play on
television."
But the player admitted that
"if the team had been 2-0, it's pos
sible that I wouldn't be here.
Smith said he hoped to be
ready to play in Sunday's game
against Phoenix but added, "Der
rick Lassie deserves to start. I'm
not sure how far I can go. It's pos
sible I could hurt the team more
than help it."
Smith and the Cowboys owner
signed a contract during a news
conference Thursday night. Jones
called it a "win-win" solution.
"Both sides gave in on this
one. We gave him a lot of front-
end dollars, so it won't hurt us
when the salary cap begins next
year," Jones said.
Asked if there was a miscue
against Smith, Jones said, "I may
have miscalculated but I've never
miscalculated his importance.
Emmitt will always be a Cow
boy."
Jones said he would get to
work on signing quarterback
Troy Aikman next. Aikman has
two years left on his contract, but
Jones would like to sign the play
er so he could front-load the pact
with money this year.
