Past becoming
distant dream
for Graham
N o mat
ter
where
Texas A&M ju
nior inside
linebacker
Reggie Gra
ham goes, ex
pectations
from the past
are constantly
walking along
with him.
Last season,
he took over
for former
A&M super-
star Quentin
Coryatt and
struggled at times with footwork and
technique. Then, he got hurt against
Southern Methodist, which basically
ended his year because he played
only sporadically after that.
He was becoming the forgotten
man. Expectations had passed him
by the wayside. During spring prac
tice, Graham was switched to outside
linebacker, a move that he said made
him unhappy.
Sophomore Jason Andrus and ju
nior Larry Jackson were battling it
out with junior Jessie Cox for the po
sition once occupied by Graham.
"When I got to A&M, I was an out
side linebacker and Coryatt helped
me learn the nuances of playing the
inside," Graham said. "Then I was
moved, and it put pressure on me to
learn the system quickly. I felt like a
freshman.
But Cox was suspended by the
NCAA. Andrus hurt his shoulder.
Both will miss the entire 1993 season.

A&M and Baylor gear up for Brazos battle
By Julie Chelkowski
Thc Battalion
Once again, the Texas A&M defense, ranked fourth in
the nation, will be the center of attention as Baylor Uni
versity (4-2, 2-1) presents a new offensive challenge this
Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium in Waco.
The Bear offense has featured a strong ground attack
this season, rushing for an average
of 266 yards and passing 155.5
yards per game. Baylor's meeting
against Southern Methodist Uni
versity last weekend epitomized
their use of the run as they ran the
ball 92 straight times for 482 yards.
A&M senior inside linebacker
Jason Atkinson said the Aggies (4-
1, 2-0) are not used to playing Bay
lor's ram-it-down-your-throat style
of offense.
"They're kind of a smash 'em
out football team," he said. "They don't run the finesse
style offense that you see here in the (Southwest) Confer
ence. In that respect, its going to be different."
The pressure of the offensive attack will hit A&M's
defensive line and linebackers the hardest. And the re
sponsibility, Atkinson said, ultimately lies on their
shoulders.
But Atkinson said he welcomes the challenge whole
heartedly.
"It's going to be a lot of fun," Atkinson said. "As a
linebacker. I'd rather play a running team than a finesse
team. I'd rather hit people than try to run people
down."
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said the Baylor offense.

which he anticipates will run the wishbone formation at
times, will test each player's abilities on the Aggie de
fense.
"Their style of offense really (demands) more individ
ual responsibility," he said. "It's much harder to gang
up on them than it is some offenses. Our success this
year has come against teams we've been able to do a lot
of blitzing against. This offense really singles out play
ers more than other offenses."
One key to shaking up the
Bear's attack, Atkinson said, is
containing Baylor quarterback J.J.
Joe. The Aggies were successful
in intimidating Joe during A&M's
19-13 win last year, as evidenced
by Joe's fumble on fourth and
goal at the A&M one-yard line
during the third quarter.
"He's really talented," Atkin
son said, "but if he's not in his ele
ment and if he's a playing a little
scared about what the defense is going to do and we're
keeping him unbalanced, then we'll have the advantage
at that point."
While Baylor's offense has been successful over most
of its opponents this year, its defense has been fighting a
negative image due to a low national image.
Even though many critics regard this defense as non
threatening, senior A&M center Chris Dausin said he is
not taking them lightly.
"Basically, they have a really strong front four," he
said. "Our offensive line is trying to put as much pres
sure as we can on ourselves and not look at that (rank
ings) and say 'hey, they've got a bad defense.' To us

Lady Aggie soccer team ready to kick-off weekend of home games
By Drew Diener
The Battalion
The Texas A&M soccer team puts its
8-3 record on the line this weekend as
they host St. Mary's at 3:30 p.m. Friday
and Hardin-Simmons at the same time
on Sunday at Old Tiger Field.
Ranked ninth in the NCAA South re
gion, A&M head coach G. Guerrieri said
he hopes his team can rebound from
their tough loss last weekend to Detroit
Mercy.
"We lost to a team that was inferior to
us," Guerrieri said. "They were just a
bunch of physical thugs."
Guerrieri said A&M's earlier success
this season was due to team unity.
"I'd say a month ago we were an ex
cellent high school team," Guerrieri said.
"Now we've progressed into one of the
better college teams in the country."
Guerrieri said senior captain Renee
Rebee has been the strength behind the
team's togetherness.
"She's been a great role-model and a
great big sister image to a lot of the
freshmen who have come in," Guerrieri
said. "She's been able to help them on
and off the field."
Junior Anna Whitehead and freshman
Jamie Csizmadia, have provided a spark
on the field for the Aggies. Csizmadia
has scored a goal in four consecutive
matches.
"The players who have come into the
program as freshmen have really
stepped-up," Guerrieri said. "They are
making fast progress at becoming solid
college players."
Guerrieri said the team's success is
beyond what he ever dreamed.
"Anytime you come in to develop a
new program, you're always saying 'it's
gonna take a while,' " Guerrieri said.
"Right now, people are looking at us and
saying 'Holy cow! They are almost there;
they've almost arrived as a power.'
