The Aggies were successful on a third and nine play, as well as converting on a fourth and one to help the Aggies claim a 17-0 lead. The Irish put points on the board just before the half, when they took over after an A&M punt, its first of the game, with 2:16 left in the half. Taking over at midfield, Notre Dame moved in to cut into the A&M lead, converting on a fourth and seven play to keep the drive alive. The Aggie defense stiffened and forced the Irish to settle for a 47-yard Nicholas Setta field goal. Despite cutting the lead to 17-3, the Irish lost Holiday, who was hit just as he threw the ball. Holiday, a San Antonio native, suffered a sprained neck and did not return. After the Aggie defense forced another three- and-out series, A&M mounted an impressive drive, but got nothing out of it. Taking the ball at their own 27-yard line, the Aggies slowly moved down the field, covering 60 yards on 18 plays and running 7:37 off the clock, time the Irish desper ately needed. The Aggies converted on another fourth-down play, but had to attempt a field goal on the next set of downs. Scales’ 30-yard attempt was wide left. and the Irish took over at their own 20. The Aggies held the lead in the fourth qujj| they finished off the Irish just two minutest final quarter.

Slocum. “I take great pride in the defensive tradition, and they did a great job today.” Notre Dame managed to get past midfield once in the half, driving to the A&M 40-yard line before A&M senior corner- back Sammy Davis intercepted Notre Dame quarterback Matt LoVeccio’s pass at the A&M 28 yard line with 3:57 remaining in the third quarter. Jt was not just the secondary that stymied Notre Dame. A&M’s defense also record ed six sacks for the second straight game, impressive con sidering the Aggies lost sopho more noseguard Ty Warren to a strained Achilles tendon in the first quarter. Warren, a staple of the Aggie defense, had recorded 18 tackles through the first three games of the season. After Davis’s interception in the third quarter, Notre Dame managed one first down as the Aggies forced four straight three-and-out series. The total yards for Notre Dame on those three drives was six yards. It was a game that Carlyle Holiday, who was making his first career start, will not forget — assuming that he can remember it. Holiday spent as much time on his back after getting hit as he did on his feet, as A&M’s vicious pass rush continuously cut through the Notre Dame’s offen sive line. Not suprisingly. Holiday left the game in the sec ond quarter with a sprained neck. “1 can’t recall being hit that many times in one game,” Holiday said. Matt LoVecchio, Holiday's repldcbmdnt, did not fare much better. LoVecchio finished 6- for-12 with one interception and just 48 yards of offense, and was the second quarterback casualty for the Irish after taking a hard hit in the fourth quarter. “We came out with a lot of fire and emotion,” said junior linebacker Brian Gamble. “Our mindset was that we were going to go out and stop them. We were more physical than they were today.” SPORTS IN BRIEF Astros blow leao lose 7-6 to Cubs high for Me ed to benefi i Underth« Services Cc qualifying si disease and the woman r The prog late fall or e CHICAGO (AP) - Gutierrez hit a bases-l sacrifice fly in the eighth innr: Sunday as the Chicago Cie rallied to beat Houston 7-6.
