Texas A&M's Wrecking Crevs looked to redeem itself as the heart of a struggling Aggie football team. While the Wrecking Crew performed well, the Nittanv Lion's defense would dominate the game, blanking Texas A&M. 24-0. The Wrecking Crew started off strong, but the A&M offense was no match for Penn State’s “Linebacker U.” Junior outside linebacker LaVar Arrington led the Penn State charge, forcing three interceptions and adding an Alamo Bow l record 14 tackles and a sack for good measure. The Aggies started the game with a weakened offensive front after Chris Valletta sufTcred a high ankle sprain in practice. That forced A&M to start two freshman on the left side against a sea soned Nittanv Lion defense. It was just the opening Penn State needed. “I knew that if w'c got in a situation where they could use their athletic ability to come after us, we’d have a hard time,” Texas A&M coach R.C. Slocum said. On A&M’s first oftensive play, Arrington broke through chasing down Aggie quarterback Randy McCown. The All-American linebacker made contact w ith McCown during his pass release, causing the ball to float into comerback David Macklin’s hands for the first interception The Aggie defense was able to mini mize the effects of the first turnover as the drive ended in a missed field goal by Penn State kicker Travis Forney. A&M’s second possession lasted a little longer. On first down. Toombs was held for no gain. That brought up a pass attempt by McCown, who was chased down by defensive end Justin Kurpeikis for a sack. On third-and-20, backed up against his own 10-yard line, McCown took aim for wide receiver Leroy Hodge. However, Penn State’s Derek Fox stepped in front of the hall for the inter ception and returned it 34 yards for the t touchdown, nrovers plaved the part in the kns,” A&M nmn® Ja’ Mar Toombs said "lf» just it that they carttc getting reach k it in ot make a big play Stuff a. can really hurt your motivation bounced hack from n and we drm but up to come another tunx ith four play s and two lions.

(AP) Mike Sherman, the Sealtle Seahawks' offen sive coordinator and a former Green Bay assistant, will be hired as the new coach of the Packers, a team source told The Associated Press on Monday. Sherman likely will be introduced at a news conference on Tuesday, the source told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity. A longtime college assistant coach with just three years of NFL experience, Sherman suddenly emerged as general manager Ron Wolfs choice when the GM’s early favorites — former Chiefs coach Marty Schottenheimer and Rams offensive coordinator Mike Mart/ took themselves out of the running. The Post-Crescent of Appleton and ESPN first reported Sherman’s hiring. Sherman and his agent were on their way to Green Bay on Monday night, the source said. Wolf was returning to Green Bay from Mobile, Ala., where he was scouting at the Senior Bowl. Sherman, who has no head coaching experience, spent two years as Mike Holmgren’s tight ends coach in Green Bay before moving to Seattle with Holmgren last January, where he doubled as offen sive coordinator and tight ends coach. Sherman apparently made a strong impression when Wolf interviewed him in Green Bay on Saturday. Wolf said the search for Rhodes’ replacement would be “a lengthy process,” yet he settled on Sherman just two weeks after firing Rhodes. Wolf and team president Bob Harlan, who was traveling, did not return plk calls Monday night. Like Holmgren in 1992, Sliei comes to the Packers w ith no head a ing experience, hut a background in disciplined, hard-nosed style of footi favored by Wolf. Wolf apparently chose a coach i' 1 would keep the West Coast offense it brought the Packers their recent succtfl and which three-time MVP quarterbaj Brett Favre is most comfortable runnir- Sherman was popular with Greif Bay’s players, including tight end Ma 1 Chmura, who made the Pro Bowl dun'; each of Sherman’s two seasons withll| Packers. Chmura missed all but tw games of the 1999 season with a ntf injury, but expects to return nextseasoc Before joining Holmgren in Gref Bay, Sherman was an offensive IM coach at Texas A&M and UCLA froHj 1989-96. I le was hired as Texas A&M’s offer sive coordinator in 1997. but left fortlf Packers before the season begat; Sherman also was an assistant at Hoi Cross, Tulane and Pittsburgh. Sherman was the offensive coordine tor at Holy Cross from 1985-88. L Seattle, he coordinated the team- offense but Holmgren called the play ; just as Holmgren did with offensive coordinator Sherman Lewis during W seven seasons in Green Bay. Sherman was one of eight assistant coaches Holmgren took with him froir Green Bay to Seattle.
