Despite victory, Fisher
with Oilers’ all-around
unhappy
showing
HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston OUers final-
y made enough big plays to win. Now, they’re
laving trouble with the little ones.
“As odd as it seems, I’m more disappoint-
d than last week after the loss to Kansas
]ity,” Fisher said Monday. “After looking at
he film, we’re talking about special teams
ind the defensive film, we were lucky to
ome out with a victory.”
The Oilers (1 -1) had plenty of big plays in a
14-27 victory over Jacksonville that turned into
in exciting finish when the Jaguars almost
ivercame a 31-13 third-quarter deficit.
Marcus Robertson intercepted two passes,
me that killed Jacksonville’s final drive. Mel
Iray had a 62-yard kickoff return set up a
ouchdown and Eddie George had a 76-yard
tin that set up another score. The plays by
leorge and Gray are the longest in the NFL
his season.
Yet, the Oilers needed every one of the high-
ights to cover their defensive problems.
"This might have been one of the worst
lefensive performances I’ve been around in
a long time,” Fisher said. “I don’t mean to
minimize the win, but we need to do a better
job coaching and playing, period.”
What had Fisher so upset?
Poor tackling
“The first half we
didn’t tackle very
well,” Fisher said.
“We had 9-10
missed tackles.
We’ll usually have
9-10 with this
defense over three
or four games, not
one game. 1 think
we started on our heels and never got rocked
up on our toes.”
Third-down performance
“One of the major points about this defense
over the years has been its success on third
down,” Fisher said. “Look at stats and it says we
held them to one of six on third down but we

with a record-shattering 80
assists against Loyola Chicago,
an astounding feat so early in
the season.
“It really helped my confi
dence,” Mensik said. “I have always
wanted an A&M record — to be in
the history books. Kristie
(Smedsrud) and Stacy (Sykora)
were getting a lot of kills and the
middle started coming up, and my
passers were doing a great job of
getting the ball to me. It wasn’t just
me, it was the whole team — which
made it that much sweeter.”
Corbelli was just as ecstatic
about Mensik’s total.
“It was phenomenal,” Corbelli
said. “Our outside hitters were real
ly on and she was really connecting
with our middles. It was the best

Friendly Competition
Three players are competing
for the right outside hitter posi
tion, on the opposite side of the
setter. Freshman Summer
Strickland and junior Jennifer
Wells both started games last
weekend, and junior Brooke
Polak was a starter in the
University Park Holiday Inn
Classic Tournament in Colorado
Aug. 30 to Sept.l.
Preseason Accolades
Smedsrud was the only
Lady Aggie named to the
Preseason All-Big 12 team. The
University of Texas boasts two
players on the team, senior
middle blocker Sonya Barnes
and sophomore outside hitter
Demetria Sance.
The University of Nebraska
also has two on the squad, senior
OH Kate Crnich and junior OH
Lisa Reitsma. Junior OH Patrice
Arrington of the University of
Oklahoma and senior setter/hit
ter Rachel Wacholder of the
University of Colorado round
out the group.
For the Record
A&M is projected to finish
third in the Big 12. Texas is the
favorite, while Nebraska is
picked to take second in the
conference.
Through six matches, A&M is
1-1 against ranked teams,
including a victory over No. 20
Loyola Marymount in the sea
son opener.
The Lady Aggies will host five
teams this weekend in the Post
Oak Mall/Lady Aggie
Invitational, including old
Southwest Conference rival
Rice University. A&M is the
defending champion.

Defensive line play.
“Throughout the game the defensive line
was either hot, tired or hurt or whatever,”
Fisher said. “This is our second regular season
game and twice we had 10 guys on the field.
We were one short on a goal line situation and
one short on third down. We played with three
defensive linemen.”
The Oilers won the game on offense. A
bigger, stronger Chris Chandler had another
solid performance. His 63-yard touchdown
pass to Malcolm Floyd tied for the second
longest in the NFL this season.
“Last week the defense and special teams
put us in position to win,” Fisher said. “This
week the offense won the game for us. We’re
only going to be successful if we can tie these
three groups together and have consistent,
successful efforts from all three phases.”

effort I’ve seen yet this season.”
The early season success
Mensik has experienced bodes
well for future league play in the
Big 12 Conference, where eight
current teams saw postseason
action last year.
“Our attitude as a team has
stayed the same — to always
improve,” Mensik said. “I think it
has motivated us more than any
thing to put more into every prac
tice, every match and every
weight-training session. It may
have put more pressure on us, but
we just use it as motivation.”
Along with a new season and a
new conference, Aggie fans can
look forward to watching a talent
ed and confident new setter lead
the Lady Aggies every bit as well
as her predecessor.
“I think she is already develop
ing a consistent, level-headed lead
ership role on this team,” Corbelli
said. “I think her play will deter
mine a lot about our success.”
Just look at Steve Young.
Robertson
Continued From Page 9
After early season success in
Fort Collins, Colo., and in
Wisconsin, Robertson said the
team is fired up about the team’s
chances this season.
“I really think we can [make]
the Sweet 16 this year, and our
team goal is the Final Four,”
Robertson said. "If we play like we
did in Wisconsin, there’s no doubt
we can get there.”
With the Final Four in its sights,
the Lady Aggies will rely on all
their pistons, including the explo
sive Robertson, to lead them to
their final destination.
