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

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 said he felt re-

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

A&M's defense led
by injured England

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
