A&M head coach Lynn Hickey said she was
pleased with the way McClelland stepped up
to stop Rice's guard penetration on the fast-
break while dropping in 20 points for the
A&M offense.
Rice head coach Cristy McKinney said she
thought the Lady Owls did not do a good job
containing McClelland.
"She is a very good player, and we just
didn't do a good job defending her," McKin
ney said. "You can't let her take uncontested
shots as we did."

way they fought at the end of the game."

A&M football coordinator
positions open after break
By Mark Smith
The Battalion
The Texas A&M football
team lost two of its key coach
ing figures during the holiday
break.
A&M's defensive coordinator
Bob Davie and offensive coordi
nator Bob Toledo will not be on
the Aggie sidelines next season
directing the maroon and white.
Davie announced on Jan. 7
that he would become Notre
Dame's defensive coordinator.
Toledo, who had served as
offensive coordinator and quar
terback coach since 1989, was
fired on Jan. 3 by head coach
R.C. Slocum.
Davie had served as defen
sive coordinator and inside line
backer coach for the Aggies dur
ing the past five years. He was
promoted to assistant head
coach last spring.
Davie said he had trouble de
ciding whether to accept the po
sition with Fighting Irish.
"Whenever you have a
change like this you're going to
experience some mixed emo
tions," Davie said. "I don't
know if people know or care
how hard this decision was for
me to make, but it was extreme
ly difficult.
"My decision came down to
the challenge that Notre Dame
presented."
At the end of the past season
the A&M defense was national
ly ranked No. 1 in pass efficien
cy defense with 74.9 yards per
game. No. 3 in total defense
with 247.6 yards per game and
No. 2 in scoring defense 10.82
points per game.
Slocum said he believed
A&M needed to change its of
fensive coordinator to help the
team develop a more pro-style
offensive system.
Toledo, however, defended
his direction of A&M's offense.
"I did what I was told to do
here at Texas A&M, and I did
the best I possibly could do,"
Toledo said. "We won a lot of
games and broke a lot of records
and I'm proud of what I did. "
During Toledo's career at
A&M, the offense broke SWC
and school records in 1990 for
yards rushing with 3,829 yards
and set A&M's total offense
record with 5,653 yards,
In 1991, the offense broke the
A&M scoring record with 36.6
points per game, and this past
season broke a school record
with 404 points for the season..
Gary Kubiak will take over
the duties of the quarterback
coach. Kubiak, who was A&M's
running backs coach, was quar
terback for A&M from 1979-82
and played for the Denver Bron
cos for nine years.
Slocum said Kubiak is highly
qualified to assume the position.
"Gary's knowledge of the
quarterback position is out
standing," Slocum said. "He
will be a tremendous asset to
our offensive philosophy."
