SPORTS IN BRIEF
Moscovic named
player of the week
A&M senior setter Jenna
Moscovic was named the Big 12
Volleyball Player of the Week on
Monday.
Moscovic was a force on the
offensive and defensive fronts,
recording back-to-back triple
doubles while directing the
Aggies to five-game road victo
ries against Houston and
Missouri.
Moscovic recorded the sec
ond triple-double of her career
and the first by an Aggie this
season with a career-high 12
kills, 50 assists and 14 digs
against the Cougars. She also
posted a match-high .500 hit
ting percentage at Houston
with only two errors in 20
attempts.
In the Aggies’ Big 12 opening
victory at Missouri, Moscovic
came within one block of com
pleting her first quadruple-dou
ble. The All-America candidate
posted 10 kills, a season-high
16 digs and a career-high nine
blocks. In addition, Moscovic
tallied 63 assists to surpass the
4,000 assists milestone.
For the week, Moscovic paced
the Aggies with a .413 hitting
percentage and 11.30 assists,
1.30 blocks, 2.20 kills and 3.00
digs per game. This season, she
is averaging 13.03 assists, 2.03
kills, 3.00 digs and 0.68 blocks
per game and leads A&M with a
.393 hitting percentage.
Moscovic and the Aggies (8-
1, 1-0) return to action
Wednesday when they play
host to the Baylor Bears (8-2,
0-2) at 7 p.m. at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.

Aggie ‘O’ could use Slocum speech
T exas A&M football fans should
have no doubt about the influ
ence football head coach R.C.
Slocum has on his team. Slocum put
the hammer down on the Aggie
defense before the Oklahoma State
game, and the defense responded.
The rejuvenated Aggie defense
flew across the field and made sure
the poor soul chosen to carry the ball for OSU was
met with a substantial amount of force before they hit
the ground.
With the 0-2 University of Notre Dame Fighting
Irish coming onto Kyle Field on Saturday desperately
needing a win, the Aggie offense must find the fire
cracker that set off the defense against OSU.
Sixty-four yards. That is how many rushing yards
the Oklahoma State offense had Saturday. Not many
teams with production like that will win a game
without a gun-slinging quarterback with a 450-yard
passing day.
There was no way OSU quarterback Aso Pogi could
have that kind of day when the Wrecking Crew racked
up six sacks and continually planted Pogi on his back
just after he got rid of the ball.
The Aggie defense allowed the OSU offense to con
vert only two of 16 third-down conversion attempts,
and could easily have posted a shutout if the Cowboys
had not been the benefactor of a short field after they
intercepted a tipped pass and returned it to the A&M
10-yard line.
With the defense understanding what it takes to play
hard, there should be no problems handling the Irish
when they come to Kyle Field for the first time.
Hopefully, this week, Slocum will talk to the
offensive unit the same way he talked to the defense
last week.
Junior quarterback Mark Farris mustered only 92
yards Saturday, a far cry from the 34-yard mark he put up
against Wyoming on Sept. 6. Granted, Oklahoma State
may be a better team, but Farris and the offense need to
find their problems, or let Slocum point them out before
Notre Dame comes to town.
Redshirt freshman Keith Joseph should be recov
ered from a nagging shoulder injury, and the Aggies
have found a new, offensive light for the future in true
A&M freshman running back Derek Farmer gets knocked
down by Oklahoma State's Lawaylon Brown during Saturday’s
freshman Derek Farmer, who ran the ball well against
the Cowboys in his first college football game.
Farmer’s day, in which he posted 50 yards in 10
carries, was the only bright spot for the Aggie offense
and was marred only by a fumble inside the OSU
five-yard line.
If Slocum and his coaching crew can repeat the
extraordinary tutelage they gave to the defense for the
GUY ROGERS • THE BATTALION
21-7 win at Kyle Field. The Aggies will need a stronger offen
sive showing in every category to beat Notre Dame.
offense, then the Irish may start their season 0-3.
A win this weekend would give the Aggies all the
momentum they need to make waves in the Big 12 con
ference while heading into a crucial road schedule.
