OU s head football
coach steps down
Texas A&M
falls to ASU
in Maui
LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) —
Mario Bennett was 12 for 13
from the field and scored 27
points Monday to lead Arizona
State to a 103-73 victory over
Texas A&M in the opening
round of the Maui Invitational.
Bennett, a 6-foot-9 junior, was
unstoppable underneath. Most of
his shots were dunks and
layups, although he did make
his only 3-point attempt.
He had 19 points in the first
half as Arizona State put the
game away early, taking a 53-36
lead at the break.
Arizona State, which shot 58
percent (41 for 71) took its biggest
lead at 80-40 on follow dunk by
Ron Riley with 11:28 to play.
The Sun Devils will
play the winner of Monday’s
Michigan-Tulane game in
Tuesday’s semifinals.
If No. 13 Michigan wins, it
would mark the first time Ari
zona State coach Bill Frieder
faced the school he coached
from 1981-89. He was forced to
leave just before the 1989
NCAA tournament began when
he signed to go to Arizona
State. The Wolverines went on
to win the national champi
onship under interim head
coach Steve Fisher.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Gary
Gibbs, who won two-thirds of his
games but not enough big ones to
suit Oklahoma fans, resigned
Monday as the Sooners’ coach.
Gibbs, who last week denied
he planned to step down, read a
two-page statement after briefly
discussing Friday’s game
against No. 1 Nebraska.
He said he was not asked to
leave, and made his decision
without talking with the
school’s regents or athletic di
rector Donnie Duncan.
Gibbs has a record of 44-21-2,
a .671 winning percentage. But
his teams have finished no bet
ter than third in the Big Eight,
and they are only 2-14-1 in
games against the Sooners’
biggest rivals — Texas, Colorado
and Nebraska.
“While we did not reach a
championship level, we have
achieved the 19th-best record in
the country over the past five
years while having the highest
graduation rate of any of the Big
12 schools this past year,” he said.
“Our players have represent
ed the university with class at
all times and I’m proud of what
we have accomplished.”
Gibbs said he had to ask him
self, “Am I being fair to my fami
ly and to the team to continue as
head football coach?”
“While I had intended to ask
this question at the end of the
season, and all of those closely
involved with the program were
committed to evaluating the pro
gram at the end of the season,
the media frenzy created by in
accurate reporting last week led
me to the conclusion it was in
the best interest of my family
and the football team to answer
that question today.
“The answer is I will resign my
position as head football coach ef
fective at the end of the season.”
He said he intends to coach
the team through a bowl game.
The Sooners (6-4) are likely
headed to the Copper Bowl
on Dec. 29.

face so much adversity that it
took true determination for
them to finish on top again.
“With all the added things
these guys had to overcome-it’s
remarkable,” Slocum said. “They
have been the butt of distasteful
jokes and they had nothing to do
with the problems. They had to
deal with the reality of sanctions
and cute little comments from
people trying to be clever.
“It was like we told everyone
else (in the SWC), ‘We took the
challenge , and when all the
smoke settled, we’d let all of you
fight for second place.’ It’s grati
fying because I’m so proud of the
players’ reaction to this situa
tion. There is a feeling of win
ning and pride here.”
For the graduating seniors of
1994, the undefeated season
tastes especially sweet. For
those whole enjoyed their fourth
year on the team this fall, 1994
marked their triumph as the
winningest class in A&M histo
ry, including a perfect 24-0
mark at Kyle Field.
“No matter what happens, this
team has always had character
and discipline,” senior tailback
Rodney Thomas said. “The last
four years, watching this team,
you can see it takes a lot more
than talent to win. After I go
home and lay down, I’ll think
about the four years and all the
great memories we’ve had.”
As the first game approached
in early September, questions
were plentiful on who would step
up for the Aggies to fill gaping
holes on the offensive line, in the
receiving corps, in the secondary
and in the defensive front. As the
season moved forward, every
question was answered, and in
some cases, the answering player
looked more appealing than the
one who had departed.
Adams had been snatched by
the Seattle Seahawks with the
12th pick in the draft, and slated
to start in his vacated defensive
end position was sophomore
Brandon Mitchell. When all was
said and done, Mitchell had 63
tackles, including a team-leading
22 for losses. He also recorded
nine sacks, second only to Arm
strong’s nine-and-a-half.
The 1993 offensive line, led
by four seniors, anchored the of
fense. The fifth member of that
group, sophomore Calvin
Collins became the leader of the
1994 squad. Collins played
both guard and center for a unit
that slowly meshed over the
season, allowing only 18 sacks
in 11 games.
Glenn, like Adams, was an
All-American performer who
left behind a glaring need
area, this one in the Aggies’
secondary. This time it was
junior Dennis Allen to the
rescue. Allen finished the year
with a team-leading four
interceptions and also blocked
two punts, recovering one for
a touchdown.
The arrival of new offensive
coordinator Steve Ensminger
from Georgia demanded the
emergence of a big-play receiv
er for quarterback Corey Pul-
lig. Junior Chris Sanders be
came the “go to guy” for Pullig,
using his athletic ability and
height to outleap cornerbacks
for balls. Sanders finished
third on the team in receptions
with 22, but was first in yards
with 422, average yard per
catch at 19.9 and tied for first
in touchdowns with four.
The end of the 1994 season
marks the end of more Aggie ca
reers on the gridiron, and will
force other players to step up
and fill the shoes of Armstrong,
Thomas and Hendricks among
others. But come 1995, the pro
bation will be lifted, and junior
cornerback Ray Mickens said
A&M will be ready for it.
“I wish the seniors all
the best of luck, but we don’t
plan on losing next year ei
ther,” Mickens said. “We’re
the kings of the SWC. We’re
going to win next year and ten
years from now. We’re going
to win forever.”
