On one series, England de flected two passes before Mis souri decided to take its business away from his side. England said it felt like that a lot. "The whole game it seemed like they were running away from me," the Sugarland Wil- lowridge product said. "There was a lot of times that I didn't get through, and (the game) wasn't as easy as it seemed. Once 1 made those couple of plays, they would try (to block me), and I was back there any way. Slocum said A&JVfs job on the Missouri quarterbacks was what he expected. "Getting in the quarterback's face and knocking him down - that's to me the best pass defense there is," Slocum said. "We aren't going to cover very long, and we're going to have a bunch of guys going after the quarterback." England said A&M would not forget last week's humbling 44- 14 loss to Oklahoma, but felt that A&M had earned some respect from its detractors. "I think we are a good team rebounding from a bad loss,'' England said. "(The win) means a lot for us, (but) it wasn't really a thing of redemption. Continued from Page 5 A&M freshman record for most touchdowns scored in a game with three. "We never let down," McElroy said. "We came out in the second half with the same intensity as the first. "The biggest key was that we threw the ball better which opened up the running game." . Junior tailback Thomas added 107 yards on 17 carries and also scored three touchdowns. Slocum said that coming into the Missouri game he was wor ried but reiterated that if the passing game was working, the Aggies would be hard to stop. "We were really concerned about this game," Slocum said. "We got just what we needed, a good solid performance. . "Like I've said before, the kev to any of our games is throwing the football. Corey bounced back and gave us some options. He put the pressure on them." The A&M defense was equally as impressive as the offense, hold ing junior Missouri quarterback Jeff Handy to only 93 yards pass ing after he had been averaging 329 yards passing per game this season. The Aggies kept the entire Tiger offense in check, holding them to 201 total yards, including a meager five yards offense in the third quarter. Senior linebacker Steve Solari said the game was an easy win, without a doubt. "I think that Missouri feels like we did last week," Solari said. "I was talking to one of their guys in the second quarter and 1 told him 'this game is over.' "He said, 'Yeah, good game.'" TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY "AGGIE SPECIAL" How would you like to keep the same phone number for your 4 or 5 years here at school? How would you like an answering system that wouldn't break? How would you like the latest state-of-the-art pager in the HOTTEST colors? Chelkowski Continued from Page 5 having a lot of fun. I was think ing too much and trying to do things that I really didn't have to do. "This week, I just went out and had a lot of fun and remem bered how fun football was." Fun for Pullig meant regain ing his touch and completing passes. Last Saturday, he went 15-22 for 186 yards, completing 68 percent of his passes with no interceptions. At Oklahoma, he only averaged 49 percent with three interceptions. Surely, any Aggie football fan would boast about their sopho more quarterback after his lead ership in Saturday's 73-point shutout. But last week even the most loyal of fans were probably guilty, along with most sports critics, of chastising Pullig. The criticism, Pullig said, is all part of the game. "When things don't go well for the team, sometimes the quar terback gets blamed. And when things go well, he gels a lot of credit," he said. "I don't really care what the critics say. My friends are there for me through the good times and the bad. "If they'r ( e not, they're not - some people are fickle." But a probing question in many a fans' mind may be: Why did it take two games, including a major loss, for Pullig to show his true colors? The answer for Pullig was simple - he lost touch with an es sential part of his life. "This past week has helped me put my life back into perspec tive," Pullig said. "I was getting away from church and getting away from God, and God punished me. My heart wasn't in it (religion) like it is now." Maybe the Aggies need to at tend church more often - it's not the first time that divine guid ance has been a factor in an Ag gie football players' well-being. Outside linebacker Steve Solari made a quick recovery from a pulled hamstring after he poured holy water on it before the LSU game. Guidance from above seems to have been on the opponent's side recently. But not Saturday. The Aggies have established they're capable of running a bal anced and effective offense, the next test is to show they can do it again. "That's the key to this offense. We've got to be consistent," Pul lig said. "We got rolling in this game and we'll come back next week to practice and keep building on that." And all the Aggies have to do is make their statement again and again - no stuttering, no rambling, just loud and clear.
