During the 10- play, 76-yard drive, the Aggies faced third down and four from their own 30-yard line. Junior quarterback Mark Farris drew a Notre Dame defensive lineman offsides, giv ing the Aggies the first down and allowing them to continue the drive. Highlighting the drive was freshman runningback Derek Farmer, who carried the ball five times for 46 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown romp through the middle of the Irish defense. “When the bell rings, I want ed to come out swinging,” said A&M football head coach R.C. Slocum. “It was very important for us to get off to a good start.” The Irish mounted an attempt to answer the Aggies’ opening drive, getting good field position from junior Julius Jones’ 43- yard kickoff return. The Irish covered 43 yards, but came to a stop when sophomore quarter back Carlyle Holiday’s third- Redshirt freshman Keith Joseph dives third-and-one play while Notre Dame down pass was intercepted in the endzone by sophomore cor- nerback Sean Weston.

Freshman wide receiver over the pile on a Courtney Watson inside linebacker The Aggies won in Terrence Murphy came down with a 45-yard pass from Farris, setting the Aggies up at the Notre Dame 22-yard line.

The Texas A&M Wrecking Crew beat Notre Dame. Yes, the offense put the Aggies up 7-0 after its first drive. And yes, on its second possession, the offense went 80 yards for a touchdown, its longest drive of the season. But it was the Wrecking Crew who started that drive and set the tone for the entire game. After the Irish had driven to the A&M 13-yard line, sopho more cornerback Sean Weston intercepted a fluttering Notre Dame quarterback Carlyle Holiday pass in the endzone. Just 1:47 after Weston’s pick, the Aggies took a 14-0 lead. Weston’s interception was only the tip of the iceberg. Every time Notre Dame headed for a score, the Aggies came up with big plays to neutralize the threat. The lone scoring drive by Notre Dame added up to only 21 yards and ended with a 47-yard field goal. For the game, the Irish man aged a meager 191 yards of total offense, the second straight week A&M has held its oppo nent to under 200 yards.
