A&M
broke the
Buffalo Syn
drome on Sat
urday.
The Buffalo
Syndrome is a
horrible ail
ment that oc
curs when a
good football
team fails to
get any recog
nition because
it can't win in
big games.
Every time
the Aggies
have had an opportunity to cross the
threshold of national prominence,
they have been denied entrance. In
the 1992 Cotton Bowl, Florida State
kept it from A&M. In the 1993 Cot
ton Bowl, Notre Dame did the hon
ors. Two months ago, it was Okla
homa.
On Saturday, the Aggies had an
other chance to face a Top 20 team in
front of a nationally-televised audi
ence.
And they won...big.
The 42-7 drubbing of the
Louisville Cardinals at Kyle Field did
more than prove that A&M stands
clearly out in front of its Southwest
Conference brethren. It did more
than prove that Texas A&M deserves
a spot in the ten best college football
teams in America.
This time, A&M proved it can win
the big game.
"You hear 42-7 and it opens peo
ple's eyes," said center Chris Dausin.
"I hope we leapfrog some people.
We spanked them pretty bad here."
Of course, there were a few things
that set apart this victory from other

A&M smashes Louisville,
42-7, in total team effort
By Michael Plumer
The Battalion
Texas A&M rammed its perceived lack of na
tional respect down the Louisville Cardinals'
throats Saturday night, 42-7, before a crowd of
56,161 at Kyle Field, as well as a national audience
courtesy of ESPN.
The victory moved the Aggies to 8-1 while the
Cardinals, who were also beaten by 35 points last
week by Tennessee, dropped to 7-3. A&M moved
up a notch to number 10 in this week's Associated
Press poll. Louisville, previously ranked 20th,
dropped out of the poll.
The Aggies came out rolling on offense. Junior
running backs Greg Hill and Rodney Thomas,
who started together for the first time this season,
scored touchdowns on the ground while fellow
back, freshman Leeland McElroy, caught a touch
down pass.
A&M sophomore quarterback Corey Pullig,
who had a career-high three touchdown passes,
praised offensive coordinator Bob Toledo for his
offensive game plan.
"We came out fired up which is something we
haven't done in the last few weeks," Pullig said. "I
think it really showed in our performance. Coach
Toledo put in some new wrinkles, they opened up
our offense and the scoreboard showed it."
Diversifying the offense could be key to future
success, A&M senior wide receiver Tony Harrison
said.
"Our goal is to win the Cotton Bowl, and we
have to repeat our performance," Harrison said.
"We have to open it up like we did."
A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said it was an im
portant and much-needed victory.
"We did a good job, and I am proud of the way
our players came out and performed/' Slocum
said. "We came out with focus. I thought we exe
cuted very well on both sides of the ball.
"This should give us momentum heading back
into Southwest Conference play."
Louisville head coach Howard Schnellenberger
said it was very easy to tell who the better team
was.
"I think it's obvious to everyone watching in
the stadium and watching on TV that Texas A&M
is a vastly superior team," Schnellenberger said.
"They gave us a good old whipping.
"They, have very good coaching, they are physi
cal, and they execute well. There's nothing we did
well."
A&M's roll to victory started with a little trick
ery. Toledo reached into his bag of tricks and
opened the swinging gate. A&M senior center
Chris Dausin snapped the ball directly to McElroy,
who zoomed 29 yards to the Louisville 11 yard
line.
Three plays later, McElroy caught an inside
screen and scampered nine yards for a touchdown
to give A&M a 7-0 lead.
"The swinging gate was a big one for us/' Tole
do said. "The kids did a great job. We knew we
were playing a great defense so we had to do
something."
A&M built a 21-7 halftime lead behind Hill's
three-yard touchdown and 12-yard touchdown
catch by junior wide receiver Brian Mitchell. But
the story was A&M's defense.
The Cardinals had been averaging over 400
yards per game on offense but were held to just
189 total yards. Louisville senior quarterback Jeff
Brohm was harassed into a miserable first half as
he only completed seven passes in 16 attempts for

Texas A&M's offensive linemen do
-aaot get the glory of making intercep
tions or catching touchdown passes, but their coaches
and teammates are more than aware of their contribu
tions to A&M victories.
Especially during the 42-7 drubbing of Louisville Sat
urday night.
"I thought our offensive line did a good job control
ling the front," A&M head coach R.C. Slocum said.
"They did a good job of mixing it up and creating oppor--
tunities for us."
Although no A&M running back rushed for over 100
yards in the game, the five men in the trenches opened
up gaping holes with powerful blocking that kept the
Louisville defense — well, on the defensive.
"There's no doubt in my mind how good the offen
sive line is," said A&M junior running back Rodney
Thomas. "They are one of the best in the country."
Senior center Chris Dausin said he and his teammates
were fired up from the first play.
