sacks, four fumbles and numer
ous hurries against Handy and
Corso.
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.

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.'"

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.
