The !Sylvanta Alamo fkml wav
billed as a defensive bailie featuring
Texas A&M and Penn Stale. 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,

GREEN BAY, Wis. (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.
