Buffs slide by Ags, 31-21

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. Senior linebacker
Christian Rodriguez sacked
Colorado quarterback Craig
Ochs on third down, giving the

The Aggies’ drive started on

No. 6 NU downs Aggies, 4-2

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. A Nebraska comet
kick was knocked down just in front of A&M’s
