One of the strangest games in
A&M football history produced the
most unlikely of heroes Thursday
in A&M’s virtual 28-24 victory
over the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
Senior backup quarterback
Stormy Case, filling in for a
benched Corey Pullig, connected
on a 26-yard scoring pass to wide
receiver Danny McCray to give
A&M the victory with just 36 ticks
left on the clock.
Pullig committed error after er
ror throughout the game, throw-

ing for five interceptions before fi
nally being benched with 2:50 to
go in the fourth quarter.
Case saved the day for perhaps
the single greatest performance
ever recorded by A&M’s “Wreck
ing Crew” defense.
All told, the defensive unit
racked up 15 sacks of Tech quar
terback Zebbie Letheridge, includ
ing an unheard-of eight by sopho
more linebacker Trent Driver.
Letheridge lost a total of 140
yards on the sacks.
A&M’s offensive attack was
spearheaded by Leeland McElroy
who galloped for 154 yards on just
13 carries. The wide receiving
corps was led by McCray, who
caught four passes for 150 yards
and scored twice.
Although far from perfect at
3-of-lO for 81 yards, Case
stunned the packed crowd at
Jones Field which had reached a
fever pitch only seconds before as
Tech rallied all the way back
from a 21-0 deficit.

T here seems to be a lull
among Aggie football
fans.
I’m not sure if it’s because they
lost at Colorado or because the
team was idle last week or
even a combination of the both,
but the excitement is definitely
missing.
It seems like everyone I
talk to lately feels disgust
with the Aggie football play
ers and especially coaches.
Well, get over it!
So, we were outscored at
Colorado. So we no longer
have a shot at the national
championship.
Does that give us the right
to criticize the players and
coaches — the same players
and coaches that we were
bragging about to anyone who
would listen at the beginning
of the season?
I’ll admit that I too am dis
appointed that our hopes for a
national championship are no
longer. But I am still excited
that we have a chance for the
Southwest Conference Cham
pionship and post season play.
Don’t forget that our own
Leeland McElroy is still a ma
jor contender for the Heisman
Trophy. I know that there are
skeptics out there who think
that after our unfortunate
outscoring at Colorado, Lee
land doesn’t have a chance.
But I believe he does. He’s
still one of, if not the best,
running backs in the country.
A SWC championship
might not look as impressive
as a national championship,
but it’s still a championship.
Yes, it would be nice to have
the title of national champs,
but I am proud of the fact that
we are one of the best teams
in the nation, regardless if
we’re first or the eighth.
I realize that the blame
must be put somewhere. And
it seems that most of the time
it’s put on quaterback Corey
TYillig.
I am beginning to believe
that I am one of the few peo
ple who thinks that Pullig is
the one who can lead us to an
other SWC championship.
He’s not a flashy player,bat
he can win. He’s proven this
and his stats can back it up.
He is on pace to break even
passing mark in the A&M
record book, and he is tied
with Nebraska’s Tommie Fra
zier as the winningest active
quarterback in the nation.
Yet he remains to be one
that most A&M fans love to
bad mouth.
Now that the Colorado
game is behind us, the Aggies
are looking to bring another
Southwest Conference cham
pionship to A&M, the last
SWC championship before
they join the Big 12.

“He has a great disposi
tion,” Slocum said. “He is con
fident that he will make every
field goal. When he misses, he
does not dwell on it, he sim
ply goes on.”
The pressure that certain
situations create, such as a
game-winning field goal, are
actually fun for Bryant.
The more on the line, the
better.
“I perform better under
pressure,” Bryant said. “It is
fun. My philosophy is to nev
er be intimidated and never

the confi
dence in the
world."

back down.”
Now that Bryant is
healthy, Slocum has a chal
lenge for him.
Slocum wants to have one
player for both field goals and
kickoffs.
He believes that Bryant is
ready to take on this task,
and it will only make him bet
ter overall.
“I want one guy for both
jobs,” Slocum said. “Now that
he’s over his injury, we want
him to compete for the job. It
keeps him in tune with the
game.
“It gives him more respon
sibility and he wants it.”
Confidence is what it is all
about for Bryant. With much
faith in his ability, he feels
that he will never have to
worry about the misses, he
will just celebrate his success
es.
“I’ve got all the confidence
in the world,” Bryant said. “I
have one shot to make or miss
it. I never think I will miss,
but when there’s nothing you
can do, there is no reason to
worry.”

The Texas A&M men’s and
women’s tennis teams will be in
town this weekend hosting fall
tournaments.
The men’s 6-Way tournament
will be at the Omar Smith Ten
nis Center, while the women’s 4-
Way tournament will be at the
Pebble Creek Country Club.
“This early in the seasons
it’s not about matches, it’s more
about individuals,” A&M Wom
en’s Tennis Coach Bobby Klei-
necke said. “We get a better
evaluation of the players.
That’s why we started these
tournaments.”
The men’s tournament will
have one flight for singles and
one flight for doubles while
the women’s tournament will
have two flights for singles
and doubles.
Texas A&M senior Blake Ar-
gles. Arrant and senior Eric ft-
ran are seeded No.l in doubles
“Arrant has been real excit
ing this year, he’s been consis
tent,” Men’s Tennis Goad
David Kent said. “Carlos Torii!
a heck of a player. He’s aboct
as good a sophomore as you art
going to find.”
On the women’s side of thinpi
for A&M junior Nancy Dingwall
is seeded No. 1 and sophomore
transfer Vanessa Rooks is No. 1
in the top flight. In the oik
flight, junior Julie Beahmis
ranked No.l and senior Anns
Strakosova is ranked No. 3.
“Nancy Dingwall has been
playing great,” Kleinecke saii
“We'll be able to see where
Vanessa Rooks stands. We also
want to see Monica Rebolledo.
She’s been hitting the ball well.
I’m real optimistic about oar
team this year. I think we’re go
ing to have a lot of depth on this
year's team.”
Kent said he is excited about
the upcoming weekend.
“It should be a fun time,’’ Kent
said. “We get to see where we
stand against the other teams.'
