WR coach passes on knowledgi
□ Koenning was a stand
out wide receiver at the
University of Texas.
By Nick Georgandis
The Battalion
When thinking about Texas
A&M football, the wide receiver po
sition is not the first that comes to
mind. Linebackers and running
backs have been the Aggies’ special
ty over the years, not speedy wide
outs and split ends.
Second-year Wide Receivers
Coach Les Koenning, Jr. does not
mind his players anonymity. He
just wants to win.
“When I came here, I wasn’t re
ally concerned about A&M not be
ing much of a passing team,” Koen
ning said. “I was familiar with R.C.
Slocum, and I wanted to be a part
of a winning program. As long as
we’re winning, that’s what makes
you happy.”
Koenning came to A&M in 1994 -
from Duke where he had spent just
one season. He already had South
west Conference experience as well,
coaching wide receivers at Rice
University from 1990-93 and begin
ning his coaching career at the Uni
versity of Texas in 1981 as a gradu
ate assistant and secondary coach.
As a receiver for the Longhorns
from 1978-80, he earned three var
sity letters and led the team in re
ceiving in 1980 with 27 catches for
401 yards.
This season, Koenning is work
ing with a corps of receivers that
combines plenty of raw talent with
a little game experience.
“What I really like about this
group is that they’re just a great
bunch of kids,” Koenning said.
“There’s not a one of them that isn’t
always out there working hard.”
Wide receiver was one of A&M’s
top priorities in last year’s recruit
ing race. Two of 1994’s top three re
ceivers, Ryan Matthews and Brian
Mitchell, were being lost to gradua
tion.
Another letter-winner, Kevin
Beirne, also a pitcher for the Aggie
baseball team, was drafted by the
Chicago White Sox as a pitcher in
June, and decided to make the
move to the minor leagues.
Slocum and Koenning scoured
the state for receivers and came
back to College Station with four
high school graduates and two ju
nior transfer players.
It seemed that there would be
more than enough depth for A&M
this fall, but injuries and academic
problems rapidly depleted the Ag
gies’ reserves.
“We had some problems early
(with depth),” Koenning said. “But
we’ve also had some guys step up
and now we’re getting to where we
have everyone going.”
Returning to the lineup Satur
day against Colorado will be senior
wide receiver Chris Sanders, who
was suspended from the team for
academic reasons two weeks ago.
“Everything is straight now with
Chris,” Koenning said. “It was an
unfortunate situation, but he’s a
good kid and I think everything will
work out for him.”
Another player who has missed
significant time is freshman Donte
Hawkins. Hawkins was injured
during the Aggies’ preseason work
outs and could see action against
the No. 7 Buffaloes on Saturday.
“Donte has been practicing all
wedk,” Koenning said. “He’s a
young kid and it’s very exciting to
see him out there, he just needs to
get some reps in and he will defi
nitely contribute.”
Although the focus of A&M’s of
fense this year is junior running
back and Heisman Trophy candi
date Leeland McElroy, members of
the offense feel the receivers are a
key part of the team.
“Our receivers are great,” senior
offensive lineman Hunter Goodwin
said. “They can block, catch and run
the football. I wouldn’t trade them
for any group in the country.”

Sega Shootout
Across the frozen tundra of Col
orado’s Folsom Field, the Texas
A&M Football Team proved Thurs
day why it is a national champi
onship contender.
On a day when Leeland McEl
roy all but inscribed his name on
the Heisman Trophy and Koy Det-
mer received a harsh lesson in the
school of hard knocks, the No. 3
Aggies crushed the No. 7 Buffaloes
35-10 to move to 3-0 on the season.
Several inches of snow threat
ened to affect both teams’ playing
styles, but the Aggies showed no ill
effects during the contest.
The Aggie offense drew first
blood on a 22-yard scoring
strike from quarterback Corey
Pullig to freshman wide receiv
er Donte Hawkins.
One drive later, McElroy skirt
ed slipped into the end zone on a
nine-yard run. The first quarter
ended with A&M up 14-0.
A&M again took a risk on
fourth down and again connected,
this time on a 21-yard pass from
Pullig to junior wide receiver Dan
ny McCray.
Detmer appeared to be getting
on tracked when they moved the
ball down the field to a first-and-
goal situation at the A&M four-
yard line. But the “Wrecking
Crew” defense lived up to its
moniker one more time, forcing
Colorado to kick a field goal.
The Buffaloes cut A&M’s lead
to 21-10 before the half when Det
mer hit Troutman on a 16-yard
scoring play that.
On a second-and-goal play from
the A&M two-yard line, Detmer
threw a bullet into the end zone
that was intercepted by A&M’s se
nior cornerback Ray Mickens.
The Aggies drove the ball
straight down the field and took a
28-10 lead on McElroy’s 28-yard
scamper. A&M added an exclama
tion point to the game when ft
hit senior receiver Chris
on a 27-yard touchdown recepi,
with six seconds left.
McElroy carried the ball
times for 165 yards and scored
touchdowns.
Detmer, whose pocket const
ly collapsed from A&M’s press
ing defense. He completed onls
of-33 passes for 166 yards,
threw one crucial interceptioni
was sacked twice.
The Aggies return to action
two weeks, when they travel to'
tual Lubbock to face theTes
Tech Red Raiders.
