Please don't hesitate, there's no need to keep us waiting. Sorry, we can't hear you. You sound muffled. You have a what? An offense!! we've needed, rolling. JULIE CHELKOWSKI Assistant Sports Editor Great - something Now, get this season After the Aggies faltered in their season opener against Louisiana State and were silenced in the Big Eight by Oklahoma, they fixed the broken pieces of their offense and made their statement - loud and clear. Yes, the Aggies are back, complete with an offensive line, running backs, receivers and a solid quarterback. Texas A&M's Corey Pullig - a sol id quarterback. A week ago this would have been considered an oxy moron. But Pullig played Saturday like his past performances were just a bad dream. Pullig said that although he could not have been successful Saturday without the help of the line, the dif ference between the last two games and the Missouri game was he and his attitude. "(It was) the trigger man - my self," he said. "Last week, I wasn't See Chelkowksi/Page 6 7 zvas talking to one of their guys in the second quarter and 1 told him 'this game is over." Aggies sprint past Tigers in laugher A&M routs Missouri 73-0 as offense surges By Matthew J. Rush The Battalion The booming sound of the cannon wasn't the only explosion on Saturday af ternoon as the Texas A&M Aggies crushed the Missouri Tigers 73-0 before 51,304 at Kyle Field. A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said that he was happy about his team's effort and emphasized that he was not trying to run up the score on the Tigers. "(Missouri head coach) Bob (Stull) is one of my best friends in all of coaching," Slocum said. "My heart goes out to him. But what a difference a week makes. We had a good solid performance on both sides of the ball." The Aggies began the game by march ing 78 yards in 10 plays. The drive was capped off by a scoring strike by sopho more quarterback Corey Pullig junior tight end James McKeehan to begin the rout. A&M took advantage of four Missouri fumbles to take a 38-0 halftime lead. The Aggies did not let up in the second half as they scored five more times, giving A&M the most points since they scored 74 against Texas Christian in 1986. Even senior cornerback Aaron Glenn got into the scoring act. He returned a punt 76 yards in the third quarter, the longest run back since 1972. He also set a school record with 131 yards on three punt returns. Glenn said once he got into the clear, all he had to do was to put a move on the punter. "I was looking touchdown all the way," Glenn said. "I knew I had to make a move and I thought I could beat him outside. I just put a basketball move on him." Pullig passing for 186 yards while completing 15 of 22 passes while throw ing two touchdowns.

He returned three punts for 131 yards. lief after his showing in A&M's 44-14 loss to Oklahoma and that he had been trying to shoulder too many things. "The difference today was that I played within myself," Pullig said. "I was trying to audible too much in the first two games, but I think that the defense did a great job today." A&M offensive coordinator Bob Tole do said that he was pleased with the of fensive output on Saturday. "I'm extremely proud of our football team," Toledo said. "They bounced back from a tough week and showed an awful lot. Our kids (Rodney Thomas and Lee- land McElroy) ran extremely hard and our offensive line did a great job of block ing." Freshman tailback McElroy rushed 17 times for 136 yards en route to setting an See Aggies/Page 6 A&M's defense led by injured England By William Harrison The Battalion A&M head football coach R.C. Slocum said last Tuesday that injured senior right defensive end Eric Eng land was the most questionable play er for the Missouri game. But come Saturday, there was no questioning how dominating Eng land and the A&M defense played in the team's 73-0 pounding of the Tigers. England and junior left defensive end Sam Adams were both scratched from the starting lineup but entered the game on Missouri's first posses sion, as the Tigers were driving deep into A&M territory. England that because he and Adams were injured and could not f >ractice through Wednesday, senior inemen Larry Wallace and Kefa Chatham had earned their right to play. 'Larry Wallace and Kefa Chatham worked all week, they deserved to start, and there was nothing to it," England said. "I suggested (for them to start), but then they started driving and coach came up to Sam and I and said, 'Get ready.' "We went in and took over." The defense stalled Missouri on A&M's 16-yard line and Tiger field goal kicker Kyle Pooler missed 33- yard try, squandering the only scor ing opportunity Missouri would have for the rest of the day. After being stowed at Oklahoma by a bruised calf and a rapid heart beat, England helped shut down Mis souri quarterbacks Jeff Handy and backup Brandon Corso. As a unit, A&M finished the day with five See England/Page 6 INTEREST Creative Writing Tues. Oct 5 - Nov 9 6:30-9pm $30/studcnt $35/nonstudent Magazine Writing Wed.
