MCCOWN
Good quarterbacking was a family affair for the Mc-
oyvns this weekend.
Robin and Pat McCown travelled to Hallsville, Texas,
to see their youngest son, Luke, lead
Jacksonville (Tx.) High School to victo
ry by throwing two touchdown passes
Friday night.
The family then hopped into the
mini-van and headed for Dallas, where
Southern Methodist University took on
the University of Mississippi.
Their middle son, freshman signal-
caller Josh McCown, started for the
Mustangs. His three touchdown tosses
ed SMU take the Rebels into overtime, where they
tually lost, 48-41.
s soon as Josh left the locker room, the whole fami-
as en route to College Station, hoping to see the old-
f the McCown boys, A&M junior Randy, take his turn

hey weren’t disappointed,
got to listen to some of Josh’s game on the radio
re hotel,” Randy McCown said. “It makes me so
id of them because those guys work so hard. With
going on ahead of them, they have a lot of pressure
erform.”
IcCown entered the game with 2:44 left in the first
r alf and immediately jump-started an 108th-ranked Ag-
jeloffense that struggled mightily in its three earlier
■es this season.
“1 tried to get in there and get the offense going,” he
aid “I think that’s what we’re missing right now is a lit-
■nthusiasm.”
| McCown was 4 of 5 for 70 yards on the drive, com-
ileting a 35-yard strike to receiver Chris Cole in the end
;onc after being sacked on the previous two plays.
|He did bring a spark and motivate us,” junior wide
eceiver Chris Cole said. “His scrambling set it off for us

Several weeks ago, Texas A&M
Football coach R. C. Slocum talked
about the need for a “go-to” play-
maker on offense.
The search is over.
Junior wide receiver Chris Cole
caught six passes for 174 yards and
three touchdowns Saturday, all ca
reer highs, as the No. 17 Aggies de
feated the University of North Texas
28-9.
Junior quarterback Randy McCown
threw two of Cole’s touchdowns.
“Chris Cole was outstanding
tonight,” McCown said. “It’s the first
time we’ve seen a receiver play like
that since A.C. (Albert Connell). You
can be off a little bit, but he just goes
up and gets it. He’s made big plays
when we’ve needed to.”
Cole’s 174 yards ranks No. 4 in
school single-game history and is the
most by an Aggie receiver since Con
nell had 18 catches for 208 yards.
Cole’s three touchdowns tie the
school record held by Don Ellis (vs.
Arkansas, 1952) and Don Jones (vs.
Rice, 1982).
On A&M’s first offensive play,
starting quarterback Branndon Stew
art hit Cole on a 60-yard touchdown
pass. However, Stewart was benched
after completing only three more
passes and throwing his first inter
ception of the season.
McCown went into the game with
2:44 left in the first half and prompt
ly completed four of five passes, in
cluding a 35-yard touchdown pass to
Cole at the 37-second mark.
see Cole on Page 8.
• Senior quarterback Branndon Stew
art's first-quarter interception was his
first of the season, and the first in his last
72 pass attempts.
• Senior linebacker Dat Nguyen recorded
seven tackles against UNT, bringing his
career tally to 403. Nguyen is the fourth
A&M player in the 400-tackle club and
needs only 52 more tackles to own the
school record.
• Chris Cole's touchdown catch from Stew
art on A&M's first play from scrimmage
was the first time the Aggies scored on their
first play since Rodney Thomas caught a 60-
yard touchdown pass from Corey Pullig
against Rice University in 1994.

“Pathetic.”
— Junior running back Dante Hall on
the Aggie offensive performance
“If we would have practiced
harder, we would have dropped
dead. It’s like studying all week for
a test and making an T.’”
— Junior running back Dante Hall
“That’s the first time we’ve had
a receiver have a night like that
since Albert Connell was here.”
