Ith the first game of the season behind
them, members of the Texas A&M Foot
ball Team will get a much deserved
ekend off. But don’t fear because The Battal-
n delivers college football coverage through
nd, rain or shine, week in and week out. We’re
id of like the post office minus the arsenal.
No rest for the weary.
When the University of Southwestern
uisiana comes to College Station next week-
d, it will mark the fourth game of a seven
lek, non-stop football marathon for the ragin’
juris. This week they t ravel to scenic Lubbock,
ity famous for its barren space, to take on the
xasTech Red Raiders. The Red Raiders, much
ethe guy who works the weekend graveyard
ift at the gas station by my house, are pissed
at the world. They’re mad because they
tided Tennessee’s Peyton Manning the Heis-
|an Trophy in their first game. And they’re mad
cause they have no running game.They’ve
Id a week off and feel like they need to make a
taiement. It could get ugly.
Do the quarterback shuffle.
The Aggies have been rotating running backs
for years, so why not quarterbacks? Going back
to the days of Greg Hill and Rodney Thomas,
A&M has featured multiple backs. The trend has
continued in recent years with juniors Sirr Park
er, D’Andre Hardeman, Eric Bernard and
sophomore Dante Hall. Now they are going to
try it with junior quarterbacks Branndon Stew
art and sophomore Randy McCown. Coach R.C.
Slocum said he doesn’t believe in the old adage
that if you have two quarterbacks, you don’t
have one. Slocum said coaches who said that
haven’t had two good quarterbacks, as he feels
he does.
The idea isn’t new.
Last season the Ohio State Buckeyes finished
No.2 in the final rankings with quarterbacks
Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine sharing time.
A couple of years back Steve Spurrier’s Florida
Gators did pretty well splitting time between
Terry Dean and a freshman named Danny
Wuerffel.
The Aggie signal callers both looked com
fortable in their roles last Saturday with Mc
Cown going seven for 14 for 148 yards and
Stewart completed eight of 12 passes for 110
yards.
And the winner is...
Several players had good games against Sam
Houston last week. But only one person on
each side of the ball can earn the MVP award.
Offensively, both quarterbacks looked com
fortable in coordinator Steve Marshall’s new
scheme, and Sirr Parker lit up the Bearkats with
three touchdowns on eight carries. The line
dominated Sam Houston up front opening run
ning lanes for the Aggie backs and this week’s
offensive player of the game Dante Hall. Hall
had 227 yards of total offense and two touch
downs.
He also provided the offensive play of the "
game for his move he put on that poor, unsus
pecting member of the Bearkat secondary at
the end of his 50-yard touchdown run. At last
check, the defensive back had still not found his
jock strap.
On the defensive side, the Wrecking Crew re
turned to form in the second quarter. Sam
Houston showed a lot of looks to the Aggies
who were not allowed to see a Bearkat game
film because they did not have a tape to trade.
Once the defense had seen everything, they ad
justed and dominated.
Sophomore cornerback Sedrick Curry, play
ing in place of the injured Shun Horn, provided
two impact plays, intercepting a pass and re
covering a fumble. After taking much of the
heat for last season’s woes, the secondary
looked a year wiser and much improved. Fresh
man Roylin Bradley, one of the Aggie’s top re
cruits showed he was as good as advertised,
leading the Aggies with two sacks and recover
ing a fumble of his own.
The defensive play of the game goes to ju
nior safety Rich Coady for a hit which echoed
all the way to Snook.
And the defensive MVP award goes to
sophomore linebacker Sean Coryatt. He came
off the bench and led the Aggies with 13 tack
les, including one for a loss. Coryatt, the
younger brother of former Aggie and current
Indanapolis Colt Quintin Coryatt, will be get
ting a hard look with the first unit between
now and next Saturday.

“If Miller does not get healed
soon,
Ivitzer might have to change that to
biggest regular season disappointment.”
jSwitzer said Miller came out of the game
in his own “because he was scared to turn
it loose. He’s a Pro Bowl player in this
league for years and knows his body better
than anybody.
“We want him to be smart. We don’t want
any college rah-rah. We don’t him to be like
one of those track guys who blows a ham
string and misses a bunch of time. ”
Switzer ordered a new practice routine
for Miller. He said Miller will no longer sit
idle for 20 minutes in practice while the de
fense faces the scout team offense like it
did last week.
“We’re going to keep him stretched
out,” Switzer said. “This is going to be
one of those day to day things. If he had a
true hamstring pull I could tell you if he
could play. But this thing just tightens up
on him.”
Miller worked out Wednesday but did
not run deep.
“He just ran crossing routes so he would
be under control,” Switzer said. “We expect
him to play Monday. Of course, we expect
ed him to play last week.”
The Cowboys are taking no chances.
They worked Deion Sanders at receiver on
Wednesday and Switzer said “we want to
make use of his talent. We might have six or
seven plays for him on offense in the
Philadelphia game. We might use him like
we did in the Super Bowl two years ago.”
Miller doesn’t want to appear to be a
shirker. But the lockerroom whispers
about his toughness won’t go away until he
plays hurt.
“I don’t think a defense can cover Irvin
and Miller and stop our passing game at
the same time,” said running back Emmitt
Smith. “That’s why we have to get him out
on the playing field.”
Miller just shakes his head about his in
jury problems.
“Frustrating, it’s very frustrating,”
Miller said.
The Cowboys hope an extra day will help
Miller get ready for Monday night’s game
against Philadelphia.
Until then, they’ll second Miller’s opin
ion about what has become a big area of
concern for the Cowboys run to a sixth con
secutive NFC East title.
