Morgan's spiking attack strikes deadly blow on opponents
By Matthew J. Rush
The Battalion
The Lady Aggie volleyball has a new coach
and a different team outlook, but the team will
be counting on an old stand-by to reach the
NCAA Tournament for the first time since
1986.
Senior outside hitter Sheila Morgan, a na
tive of Houston and a three-year letter winner,
said that she brings experience and physical
strength to this year's squad.
"I try to bring height and power to the
team," Morgan said. "I think the team would
say I'm motivating and that I talk a lot on the
court."
Morgan's exceptional ability spiking the
ball has given the Lady Aggies a potent
weapon in key situations - one that head
coach Laurie Corbelli said is obvious in games
against teams like Florida State.
"When we needed the big point, we went to
her," Corbelli said. "She had some key hits in
the match."
Morgan is currently ranked ninth in the na
tion for kill (a spike that is not returned) aver
age, posting 5.19 per game. She has also
recorded 20 or more kills in eight of her last
ten matches and has led the Aggies in kills in
each of their first 11 games.
Morgan's efforts were not overlooked when
she captured Southwest Conference Player of
the Week honors for her performance in the
game against Lamar University and in the
Sooner Invitational.
But Morgan said she was not aware of the
SWC recognition from a week ago.
"It was quite a shock," Morgan said. "Actu
ally, I'm not used to all of this. I had no idea
that I was player of the week. In fact, coach
Corbelli didn't even tell me until the middle of
the week.
"I've always said that I wanted to do it once
and I hope I can do it again. It was a nice hon
or."
In order for her to perform at this level of
excellence, Morgan said, she must be under
control on the court.
"For me, I have to be relaxed," she said.
"Sometimes I get a little bit too intense, but if I
just play my own game and stay relaxed, I can
do a whole lot more for the team."
Morgan said her position will be madeeas
er with the new coaching staff and a new all
tude that has changed the team's mind set
"With coach Corbelli and the new stal
they have brought in a new philosophy toll
team and just a whole new way of thinking."
The team is hoping that this new outlool
will help them earn a NCAA tournamem
berth, but Morgan said she understands that
order to get to that point, the team's perfd
mance must be more consistent.
"If we keep playing the way we have
playing and we pick up the intensity a
more," she said, "1 definitely think we wil
there in post season play."
The Lady Aggies (8-3) face conference
Texas Tech tonight at G. Rollie White Colise-I
um. Corbelli said the match will be
fought, but she is confident of her squad.
"It will be a real fight," Corbelli said. "Th(
match will definitely be a fight for one of tli(
top spots in the league.
"We have shown for the past three week
that we can play with the top teams andom
confidence is rising."
Toledo
continued from Page 5
"The effort hasn't been a
problem, even in Oklahoma; our
kids gave a great effort in that
game," Toledo said. "It was the
mistakes we made that hurt us.
It was a total team failure in that
sense.
"Most people end up losing
games, not winning them.
You've got to keep from losing
games before you can win."
A&M erupted for 516 yards
against Missouri, and A&M's
balanced, pro-style offense
showed validity with the return
of Pullig's poise and the stead
fast power of A&M's running
game.
Toledo said he has tried to in
stitute the pro-style offense at
A&M since he arrived in 1989,
but he wouldn't at first because
of the presence of former quar-
teiback Bucky Richardson.
"The key is to do what per
sonnel does best," Toledo said.
"When Bucky was here, we
developed his running ability
and ran more sprintouts and op
tions than we do now."
Toledo installed the pro-style
offense in 1992 which struggled
under Jeff Granger and then
flourished under Pullig, then a
true freshman.
Junior backup quarterback
Tommy Preston said that after a
slow start by Pullig, Toledo sim
plified A&M's offensive forma
tions for the Missouri game, and
Pullig and the rest of the offense
responded well.
"In the Missouri game we had
a balanced attack," Preston said.
"We had 60 percent run reliabili
ty and hit 55 percent of our pass
es - that's what we want out of
every game.
"It was a wake-up call at the
OU game, and I think the guys
found themselves against Mis
souri."
Senior offensive lineman Dex
ter Wesley said rushing was still
A&M's first priority in Toledo's
offense.
"The first thing we like to do
always is to establish the run,"
Wesley said. "We can always get
the pass going after that."
But Wesley said opponents
concentrate on A&M's running
emphasis and stack their defense
to flood the offensive line with
too many players to block. Wes
ley said the key to beating these
defenses is to not abandon the
run, pick passing opportunities
carefully, make a lot of audibles
to throw defenses off-guard, and
listen to the coach's game plan.
"The past few weeks we really
haven't been executing until
(Missouri)," Wesley said. "(Tole
do) had a great game plan - he
toned (the offense) down and re
ally got it going."
In each game this season the
running game has produced
points for A&M. Wesley said
that A&M"s running plays, fea
turing the skills of Rodney
Thomas and Leeland McElroy,
are entertaining to watch from
the field.
"All we've got to do is make
sure that (the offensive line) gets
our guys, and our backs are so
quick and so strong that they'll
hit the hole and keep right ongo
ing," Wesley said.
"It's making us look good."
Preston characterized Toledo
as an even-keeled teacher and
motivator.
"He does lighten up, (but) you
know what kind of guy he is,”
Preston said. "He's serious most
of the time.
"Everybody's always harping
on offense. Tie's somewhat seri
ous so we can take care of busi-
Davie
continued from Page 5
in his thinking and has a different plan for
every sequence. He thinks of stuff on the
spur of the moment.
"What he thinks of, it seems to work."
That has been evidenced this season as
A&M shutout Louisiana State (24-0) and Mis
souri (73-0).
Davie said his coaching style is distin
guished by his ability to make instantaneous
changes.
"My job is to make the best of the situa
tion and to go with the personnel we have on
the field," Davie said. "We try to put guys in
a position to be successful based on our
strengths. As a team, we try to adapt to the
style of offense on the field.
"To do that, I have to stay under control
and see what is happening."
Coaches' temperaments vary. Some rant
and rave while others control their emotions
and correct mistakes by pointing out mis
takes in a reasonable manner.
Senior linebacker Steve Solari said Davie
combines both.
"The first two times you fness up, he is all
right," Solari said. "But the third time you
screw up, he lets you know. He usually does
not yell and scream but he lets you know
what you need to do."
Solari recalled an instance from his sopho
more year when he expected the worst, but
was surprised when he reached the sidelines.
"We were playing the University of Hous
ton (in 1991) and they ran an option to my
side," Solari said. "They scored a 63-yard
touchdown because I did not take the pitch
man.
"I had to come out for a couple plays but
instead of screaming and yelling, he just
asked me what went wrong and told me how
. to correct it.".
The Southwest Conference, Davie said, is
undergoing a facelift on the offensive side of
the ball. Teams- are moving to more wide-
open offenses that stretch across the field,
like San Diego State and Brigham Young in
the Western Athletic Conference.
England said the new passing emphasis
should play right into Davie's hands as a co
ordinator.
"He is a prototype NFL coach in the way
that he coaches - (it) is oriented to the pros,"
England said. "After a team runs a different
pass play, he has already thought of a way to
stop it. He is brilliant."
Being called an NFL-type coach is an hon
or, Davie said, but that label can change in an
instant.
"Saturday against Missouri, I was that
type of coach," Davie said. "Against Okla
homa, I went from being a NFL coach to a
CFL (Canadian Football League) coach. But
you take the bad with the good.
"When things go good, people jump on
the bandwagon."
The past three seasons Davie has had a
chance to jump off A&M's ship and take a
head coaching job. While the temptation has
been there, Davie said he is extremely happy
in his present position.
" JCU was interesting in 1991 and the
(Cleveland) Browns have made a couple of
offers but it is hard to leave A&M," Davie
said. "I would have to be 100 percent certain
to leave. And each time a job has come open,
like Baylor last fall, there have been doubts
in my mind.
"I know what my role is here, and I am
not just here to be a head coach."
Winder
continued from Page 5
the Oilers 18-17 loss to the
Chargers last Sunday.
After holding the Chargers all
day, the Houston defense let the
pathetic Charger offense drive on
them for the winning field goal.
A defense that spends a lot of
time on the field will not have its
legs late in the fourth quarter.
Next, a totally passing offense
is becoming way to easy for a de
cent opposing defense to cover.
Every team that Houston plays
now, drops seven defensive
backs and waits to rip the heads
off the Oilers' receivers.
Anyone remember a 1990
Monday Night Football game
when the Oilers played against
the Philadelphia Eagles?
The Houston receivers caught
a lot of passes that night, but
most of them came away with
concussions courtesy of Seth
Joyner.
Finally, the inconsistency of a
running game will always be a
thorn in the Oilers' side. Last
year Lorenzo White rushed for
1,226 yards one of the highest to
tals in the league. But this year.
White is not getting many of
those 20 yard scampers like he
did in the past.
Instead, White is finding him
self gaining only a little over
three yards on each carry. The
fact is the Oilers are having trou
ble running the ball against
teams who want them to do just
that.
When the run and shoot first
came into the league, many peo
ple thought it would revolution
ize the game. It failed.
The Oilers have given the run
and shoot enough time to see
that they will never be champi
ons of anything. It's time to start
over and go the conventional
way.
