Page 10 • The Battalion Sports Thursday • January 18,1996 Already dreaming of a Big 12 championship F or me, the Christmas break was a good one. I got exactly what I wanted. The Aggies finally won a bowl game, solidly defeating a top-notch Michigan team. Corey Pullig played like I knew he was capable of play ing — allowing me the oppor tunity to back up some of my reasons for being a Corey Phrllig fan. The Cowboys are going to the Superbowl, and even better, t.u. lost their bowl game. I could have done without Leeland McElroy’s decision to go pro, but besides that, Santa was good to me. However, the more I think about and come to terms with McElroy’s departure, the more I see that even if the team is 'Lectric Leeland-less, next year’s football team could be one of the best that Aggie fans have seen in quite sometime. It’s no secret that the Aggies are a young team, and those youngsters could be the key to a successful showing in the Big 12 — one that might prove the critics who think they don’t have a chance against quality teams wrong. True freshmen like Sirr Parker, D’An- dre Hardeman and Eric Bernard stepped up and made an immediate impact for the Aggies as running backs. McElroy is good, but these three guys together can do just as well. Looking at the season statistics, McEl roy carried the ball a total of 246 times and posted 1,122 total yards, averaging 4.6 yards per carry. Parker, Harde man and Bernard together carried the ball 146 times for 650 yards averaging 4.8 yards per carry. They can move the ball just as well, and in San Antonio, they showed the Aggie fans that they do not need McElroy to win. True, A&M is losing integral parts of both the offense and defense. Besides McElroy, of fensively they’ll be losing Detron Smith, Chris Sanders, Hayward Clay and Corey Pullig. De fensively, Reggie Brown, Ray Mickens and Dennis Allen will be leaving the ranks of the Wrecking Crew. These guys will be missed, but the Ag gie team will not be hurting much in their absence. Guys like Parker and Hardeman, Albert Connell and Donte Hawkins will fill these voids, and veterans like Calvin Collins will continue to make big plays. On defense A&M still has Larry Walker II, Trent Driver, Donovan Greer, Keith Mitchell, Dat Nguyen and Toya Jones. Then there’s the much-talked about quarterback job. Branndon Stewart and Kevin Colon are supposed to compete for the starting job. Either way, the Aggies will be in good hands. Sure,with the move to the Big 12, it’s going to be a tough season for the Aggies, but noth ing they can’t handle. The season starts out pretty easy for the Aggies. They start out play ing the University of Southern Louisianian Lafayette and then face the University of North Texas and Louisiana Tech at home. I am going to go ahead and predict three wins to start the season. Then will come the much-awaited game against the University of Colorado. A&M should have beaten them this season on their own turf, but now the Buffaloes must travel to infamous Kyle Field where the Aggies never — well almost never — lose. We’ll go ahead and predict another win. The Aggies will then travel to face Iowa State. This could prove to be one of the more difficult games on the Aggie sched ule, one that cannot be overlooked but still seems attainable. A return to Kyle Field means dates with Kansas State and Texas Tech. Two more tough games for the Aggies, but also two more wins. Again Kyle Field and the revenge factor will pull the maroon-and- white through. Oklahoma State and Baylor, on the road and Oklahoma here will give the Ag gies three more wins going into their fi nal game of the regular season — the Texas game. They’re playing the Longhorns at Austin, but the 1995 loss will be fresh on their minds. With revenge once again a driving force, the Aggies should pick up another win — giving them an 11-0 sea son and putting them in the Big 12 cham pionship. Even without McElroy.
