What a difference a week
makes.
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.”

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
