The Texas A&M men’s golf team travels to Dallas today to compete in the Red River Classic with a two-fold mission — to erase memories of last year’s No. 12 finish at the tournament and to improve on their disap pointing showing at the Tucker Invitational last month. Last year at the Red River Classic, the University of Southern California took the team title, and the Aggies finished 27 strokes back. There is motivation to improve on that finish. But more importantly to the Aggies is bettering their fourteenth-place showing at the Tucker Invitational. “Expectations were really high for our first tournament,” said Stephen Reed, a sophomore general studies major. “I think with all the expectations, we may have come out and not focused as much on our shots. We got rattled, and golf isn’t a game that you can play well when you’re rattled. I would definitely say we were disappointed. We have guys with good experience.” “I think things are so much different than last year,” said Dwayne Morley, a junior business management major. "Last year, we played a defensive style, not trying to make any mistakes. This year, coach tells us to go out and fire at every pin and be as aggressive as you can. It’s an adjustment.” Morley and Reed led the Aggies in scoring at the Tucker Invitational. Morley finished in a tie for 37th and Reed in a tie for 46th. Senior Sean Gilliland and freshman Rand Arbuckle were six strokes behind Reed in a tie for 73rd, and senior Clay Fullick tied for 98th place. The Aggies have a new coach this year in J.T. Higgins, who left the University of New Mexico over the summer to become the Jay, October, iont head coach at A&M. Higgins advanced the NCAA Championships twice inhiiii years at New Mexico and brought' high expectations. Reed said that also might explain performance at the Tucker. “People expected a lot of us because of coach coming down here. L. ^ __ he’d been in the top 20 almost every oft (L Tll/V year he’d been coaching,” Reed said; didn't focus as much on playing, wer little worried.

BREITLING 1884 back Jonathan Golden in the backfield, pushing back the Bears one yard to the two. On the ensuing play, the Aggie defense looked to shut down the Baylor short-yardage crew again, but the Aggies were called for illegal participation and gave the Bears another shot on second down from just out side the goalline. If not for the penalty, the Wrecking Crew’s momentum might have stopped the drive there, but Baylor's Golden found the endzone on the next play on a toss to the left side. That would be the only touchdown the Aggie defense would allow the Bears to put on the board. “They came in here and were really motivated,” said junior linebacker Brian Gamble. “We played solid, but we didn’t really dominate.” Despite the play of the Aggie defense, they were still forced to come through on the biggest play of the game and possibly save the season. They also had to do it on back-to-back plays, each time facing defeat. After the Aggies failed to convert on a 48-yard field goal that would have sealed the Aggie victory, the Wrecking Crew walked on the field and were asked to make one more stop. With just 1:36 left on the game clock, and the Bears with no timeouts remaining, Baylor quarterback Greg Cicero moved the ball down the field, connecting on sideline passes to allow the Bears to position themselves for a chance to find the endzone. On first and 10 from the A&M 40-yard line, Cicero loft ed the ball into the endzone, where junior wide receiver Reggie Newhouse went up with A&M cornerback Sammy Davis. Newhouse had the ball initially, but Davis would get a late hand on the ball, and knocked it from the Baylor receiver and saved the game. On the following play, the Aggie defense would be tested once again in almost the exact same spot as the previous battle for the ball. Cicero put the ball high into the air again, and with all but three defensive players back in coverage, a mass of Baylor and A&M players gath ered in the endzone, all want ing to come down with the des peration pass. At that moment, Kyle Field was silent, until the official found Gentry with the ball, and signaled the touchback. with no time left on the clod 3rtooeas y- Uo t “We are not very satisfisi innot ' ce d by an > Gamble said.
