In his 14 career starts, Farris already has more 40- pass attempt games than any other quarterback in school history. Farris has surpassed the 40-attempt mark in both games this season to bring his career total to five. After his 341-yard perform ance against Wyoming, Farris now has thrown for 200 or more yards in eight of his last nine games. The school record for con secutive 200-yard games was set by Ed Hargett in 1968, when he did it in six straight games. Farris’ current streak of five is the second longest in school history and the longest since Gary Kubiak’s four game streak in 1982. more than nine minutes of pos session than its opponents. The Aggies are averaging 34:33 per game, while holding McNeese State and Wyoming to an aver age of 25:27. The success on the clock is thanks largely to the Aggies’ third-down ratio. A&M is 16- of-34 on third down tries. Opposing teams have man aged to convert only five times on 24 tries. The Aggies have not allowed a third-down conversion yet in the first quarter. Team leaders Junior linebacker Brian Gamble is leading the Wrecking Crew with 16 tackles through the first two games of the season. Gamble also has three tackles for a loss. Senior defensive back Jay Brooks is second, with 13 tackles. Brooks also has record ed a sack and a pass breakup. On offense, sophomore wide receiver Jamaar Taylor, who transferred to A&M from Notre Dame, has garnered the most receiving yards, catching seven passes for 125 yards.

'* SPORTS IN BRIEF NFL officials vote to accept contract, start work Sunday Slocum Continued from Page 3A (AP) — The locked-out NFL officials voted Wednesday to accept the league's new contract and will return to the field this weekend. The deal is the same in total monetary value as the package proposed by the league on Sept. 4, .although the specifics are different. It would double salaries in the first year and increase them by 100 percent in the fourth year of a six-year deal. The replacement officials worked the final week of the preseason and the first games of the regular season. because that’s what it takes to be a good team,” Gamble said. “Coach Slocum has been around some great defenses, and some great teams.” Slocum, along with the rest of the NCAA Division 1-A football coaches, have the toughest job in the country, and they can all point their finger at Oklahoma head edach Bob Stoops. Stoops took the Sooners in only two seasons to the top, and claimed the national title with an unblemished 13-0 record. Now every athletic director at any school believes they can hireayc 1 .. coach and win a national champi onship in two seasons. When the;: not, the words, “Bob Stoops did.': soon to precede a pink slip. So, before you point your fingffl Slocum, wait and see what the Wrecking Crew pulls off against Oklahoma State on Saturday atFf Field. If Slocum’s talk drastical improves the Aggie defense’sp3 then there may be more “R.C. ist legend” remarks on more thanjusu skywalk. Student Body Pre Wednesday.
