Bears give No. 24 A&M
first scare of season
Last-second interception seals win for Ags
By True Brown
THE BATTALION
It came down to one play.
With two seconds left and the
Aggies leading 16-10, Baylor
quarterback Greg Cicero’s 40-
yard “Hail Mary” pass into the
A&M end zone went unan
swered, as sophomore defensive
back Dawon Gentry came down
with the interception to give the
Aggies a six point win over the
Baylor Bears.
The six point margin of vic
tory is A&M’s smallest over
Baylor since the Aggies defeat
ed the Bears 19-13 in 1992.
A&M (5-0, 2-0 in Big 12)
now owns a 11-year winning
streak over Baylor.
“We’re always happy to
win,” said football head coach
R.C. Slocum. “But we can’t take
it for granted. I’m glad our guys
showed character enough to
hang in there and get the win.”
The turnover-filled game
turned into a battle of defense in
the first quarter, as neither team
drove more than 20 yards.
The Aggies appeared to take
an early lead after a 40-yard
field goal by sophomore Cody
Scates, but the kick was nulli
fied by an illegal formation
penalty on the Aggies. The five-
yard penalty forced Scates to try
again, and the 45-yard attempt
was wide left.
After taking over on downs.
Baylor (2-2, 0-2 in Big 12) failed
to move the ball and Baylor
punter Adam Stiles pinned A&M
at its own 11-yard line.
On the Aggies second play,
junior quarterback Mark Farris
was hit by Baylor’s A.C. Collier
and fumbled. The Bears recov
ered on the A&M one-yard line.
Baylor took a 7-0 lead two
plays later after running back
Jonathan Golden scored on a
one-yard run.
A&M finally got on the
board with 10:59 left in the
half, capping an 11-play drive
with a 48-yard field goal by

Aggies salvage
victory.

THE BATTALION
All 82,589 pairs of eyes at
Kyle Field Saturday were fixed
on the south end zone, waiting
for a mass of players to untan
gle so the most important call
of the Texas A&M and Baylor
football game could be known.
Fortunately for the Aggies,
sophomore free safety Dawon
Gentry came away with an
interception in the end zone for
the Aggies, ending the Bears’
final chance at coming away
with the upset victory, and
completing A&M’s 16-10 vic
tory over the Baylor.
"It was a toss up,” said
junior linebacker Jarrod
season
Penright. “Anyone could
have had the ball.”
Once again, the Aggie
defense had their backs against
the wall, and again, answered
with a solid defensive per
formance. The Wrecking Crew
did so without two starters,
senior linebacker Christian
Rodriguez and junior nose-
guard Ty Warren, who were
recovering from injuries.
After the Aggies handed the
ball to the Bears on the Aggies’
1-yard line, the defensive unit
was forced to buckle down and
take on the Bears.
On the first play from the
one, junior linebacker Jessie
Hunnicut met Baylor running
