A week after being rescued by the heroics of Leeland McRlroy against LSU, the of- rTensive line of the Texas A&M football team became a team strength, helping Corey Pullig to his finest day ever at Kyle ; Field, as A&M rambled past Oklahoma Saturday. , Offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger said he was very pleased with the marked im provement of the line from A week to week. '?' ■ “They did just an outstand ing job, “ Ensminger said. “We demanded more from them this week, we told them we have got to throw the ball. They had to perform and they did so outstandingly.” In just its second game un der Ensminger’s new system, the offense churned out the bal anced attack that Ensminger had been hoping for. A&M recorded 168 yards rushing and 191 passing, while holding the ball for a nearly 35 minutes. While the running game was its usual consistent self Satur day afternoon, the passing game took another big step for ward, as Pullig completed 17 of 30 passes for 191 yards, two touchdowns and no intercep tions. Although Pullig was sacked three times by the Okla homa defense, the sacks usually came because the Oklahoma de fense had tightened up on A&M’s receivers, not because the line was missing its blocks. Senior tight end James McK- eehan, who helped protect Pul lig while catching four passes for 40 yards, including the touchdown that gave the Aggies a 26-14 lead, said the offensive line should continue to improve as the season goes on. “The offensive line really got together,” McKeehan said. “The more reps they get, the better they’ll get at reading the blocking schemes. There’s a lot of talent(on the line) , and they’ll be some great players as they continue to work together.” As expected, sophomore center Calvin Collins, the only returning starter from last season, again led the charge for the line. Head football doach R.C. Slocum was very pleased with the performance of both Collins and his mates on the line. “There’s a lot of good per sonnel and personalities(on the line), " Slocum said. “Calvin has done a real job since moving from guard to center, he’s only a sophomore, but he’s already a veteran.” After last year's 44-14 thrashing at the hands of the Sooners, with four All-South west Conference honorees on the line, one would figure the Aggie line would be in for a rough game against a tough Sooner defense, but as McK eehan explained, inexperi ence does not necessarily equal poor playing. “We have so many new play ers, heck I’m a new player, “ McKeehan said. “Just because guys are young, it doesn’t mean we can’t play. It feels so great for us to come together, espe cially in the fourth quarter, and come away with the win today.” p;:.

But Richard son took Houston on two touchdown drives and his scrambling kept the Oilers in the game. Montana prevails over old team in first meetins KANSAS'CITY, Mo. (AP) — In Joe Montana’s first game against the team he took to four Super Bowl victories, Montana threw two touchdowns passes to lead the Kansas City Chiefs over the 49ers 24-17 Sunday; Montana, 19 of 31 for 203 yards, got a’ big boost from Der rick Thomas and the defense. Thomas had three sacks, one of them for a safety, against a banged up San Francisco line. After the sack, the Chiefs went on a 17-point run over a 10- minute span of the second and third quarters. David Whitmore, traded from the 49ers with Mon tana, got in the act, too, making a touchdown-saving tackle of Steve Young with under six min utes to go and forcing San FYan- cisco to kick a field goal. But overall, it was MontaJ victory as the Chiefs moved: | 0. He had a 1-yard TDpasil Joe Valerio and an S-yarderl Keith Cash. And he certainly fared tel than Young, who took Montarl job when he injured his and kept it after he recover! That forced the Montana trad Kansas City 16 months ago.
