Page 6 Sports ;v THE BATTALION nday, Octo Monday, October 15 Buffs slide by Ags, 31-21 By Brian Ruff THE BATTALION BOULDER, Co. — The No. 25 Texas A&M football team suffered its first loss of the sea son to the No. 20 Colorado Buffaloes Saturday, and they saw the game slip away in a familiar fashion. The Aggies trailed 24-21 with more than a minute left in the game, and looked to take the lead. Junior quarterback Mark Farris was sacked by Colorado linebacker Kory Mossoni, who knocked the ball loose. Colorado linebacker Joey Johnson picked up the loose ball and raced 52 yards for the touchdown, smashing the Aggies’ hopes for victory and securing CU’s 31-21 win. The Aggies suffered a similar setback after an offensive turnover was returned for a touchdown last season against Oklahoma, and that team, also a top-25 squad, went on to win the national title. “We had the momentum in the last drive and we felt good with how we were playing,” said A&M football head coach R.C. Slocum. “We were confi dent the game was ours, the we fumbled the ball.” The Buffaloes and the Aggies both are looking for Big 12 suc cess this season, but only one team could come out of Folsom Field with the vital conference victory. “It is tough to play on the road in the Big 12,” Farris said. “We played hard, but we just didn’t get it done today.” The Buffaloes gained valu able momentum on the Aggies’ first offensive series, forcing a sophomore Cody Scales punt from the A&M end zone and were handed good field position on their opening drive. The Wrecking Crew made their mark early on, forcing the Buffaloes to settle for a Jeremy Flores 18-yard field goal after getting a first-and-goal situation from the 4-yard line. Colorado would add another field goal later, increasing its lead to 6-0. Following a Buffalo punt, the Aggies took over at their own 29-yard line. On third-and-three yards to go, Farris recognized a Colorado blitz before the play. His decision was the right one, as he hit sophomore Jamaar Taylor, who had beaten the defender over the middle. Taylor found nothing but open field and raced to the end zone, com pleting the 64-yard play that gave the Aggies a 7-6 lead. A&M’s touchdown drive gave the defense added momentum, forcing the Buffaloes to punt on the next drive.

No. 6 NU downs Aggies, 4-2 By Jeremy Brown THE BATTALION JOHN LIVAS • THE BATTALION Sophomore Kristen Strutz fights for a ball against Nebraska. The No. 6 Nebraska Cornhuskers scored goals off of fhreeTromer kirkTfb down the No. 10 Texas A&M soccer team 4-2 Sunday at the Aggie Soccer Complex. Nebraska extended its winning streak over the Aggies to eight. “To give up three goals on corner kicks is something that we have never had happen against us,” said soccer head coach G. Guerrieri. “The difference in our game today was that Nebraska had the attitude that they were going to take those things in.” Both the Aggies and Cornhuskers missed opportunities to score in the first half and went into the break tied at zero. However, what looked to be a low scoring game turned into a shootouiii the second half. Hermann Award nominee Nicky Thrasta shocked the Huskers and put the Aggies on tk| board first by scoring a goal only 15 seconds inti the second half. She took a pass from mielrfe/ Kristen Strutz at the right side of the goal dkd a shot past goalkeeper Erin Miller. “When that happened, I thought ‘This is going to be a great half,’” Thrasher said. “We neededto do better on restarts (comer kicks and throw-ins.) That was the whole game right there.” It only took the Huskers two and a half minutes to even the score off a restart.
