the NCAA this year.
Rushing dominance is noth

Campbell av
erages over 12 yards per reception
with 246 total yards in 20 catches,
making him yet another option for
the Aggies in tight situations.
“We work great together,” se

“We’ve got a big play threat in
him [Spiller] and a possession re
ceiver in me, and we both block
well.”
Regardless of the situation,
Hollingshead said Spider’s hands

get the job done.
Against Southern Mississippi,
the Aggies will need that clutch
performer they can depend on.

Dallas Cowboys could usually
count on their defense to keep
them in the game.
They didn’t Sunday, and sud
denly, solid defense is a problem for
the Cowboys who rank No. 23 in
the NFL after being No. 2 last year.
The defending Super Bowl
champion Denver Broncos, be
hind John Elway, went over,
through and around the Cowboys

stunned the defensive coaches
and players.
The Cowboys coaches and play
ers had to admit they were out-
schemed by Denver coach Mike
Shanahan.
“It’s hard for linebackers to cov
er wide receivers and tight ends
and that’s the position we got
caught in at times,” said linebacker
Randall Godfrey. “We couldn't ad
just until halftime.”
Safety Darren Woodson said
the Broncos “came out with a dif
ferent game plan. We didn’t
match and we didn't cover. We
were all over the place.’’
