k The Aggie offense found
their groove early, marching
down the field and taking an
early 7-0 lead. 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

THE BATTALION
Make no mistake about it.
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.
After allowing 1 13 yards in
the first half, the red-hot Aggie
defense turned up the heat,
