On the :ond play for Tech, senior line- bker Christian Rodriguez ■corded his first sack, taking Iwn Kliff Kingsbury for a loss jf six yards. I Following the defensive stop, ■ looked as if the defensive [omentum would carry to the Lie offense. Freshman run- |ng back Derek Farmer took |e handoff on the Aggies’ first (pensive play and cut back ross the field to pick up 29 rds on the play. Two plays later. Farmer lould take a pitch to the left |de and pick up another 14 aids to the Tech 12-yard line. Jnfcrtunately for the Aggies, a [holding penalty wiped out the |mre play and backed them up yards. On the fourth down ind 14 from the Tech 30-yard line, sophomore Cody Scales lined up for the field goal. Senior Wes Bautovich, who holds for the Aggies, took the snap and followed Scales into the hole. The fake produced a gaping hole in the line, but Bautovich was tackled just three yards short of the first down marker, turning the ball over to the Red Raiders. The Tech offense mounted a drive on their next possession and moved the ball down to the A&M 5-yard line, where they were given 1 st-and-goal. The Aggie defense stiffened once again and forced the Red Raiders to attempt a fourth-and- one play from just outside the end zone stripe. Tech senior running back Ricky Williams took the ball over the left side, but was met by Gamble and sophomore Jared Morris at the 1-yard line, turning the ball over to the Aggies. The two teams traded punts on the next five possessions, until the Red Raiders again mounted another long drive. The drive was highlighted by a 21-yard screen pass to Williams to took the pass down to the A&M 12-yard line. The Aggie defense would again stiffen with their backs were against the wall, holding the Red Raiders to a 25-yard Robert Treece field goal giving the Red Raiders a 3-0 lead. The Aggies took the follow ing kickoff and mounted a drive of their own, looking to score before the half. A&M converted on two third-down conversions to keep the drive alive, and had a first-and-goal from the Tech 7- yard line. Junior quarterback Mark Farris and was pressured by Tech defensive lineman Aaron Hunt, who forced Farris to hurry the throw. Sophomore strong safety Ryan Aycock jumped the slant-route and intercepted the pass in the end zone, putting an end to the Aggies’ hopes of put ting points on the scoreboard. “We had a chance to take the lead at halftime,” said A&M football head coach R.C. Slocum. “We got down there and misfired and came away with no points.” Tech moved down the field at the close of the third quarter, tak ing the ball 57 yards in 13 plays and connecting on a 37-yard field goal. Following the field goal, the Aggies drove down the field, putting together one of their most impressive drives of the game. The Aggies moved the ball from their own 20-yard line and faced yet another important fourth down play. The Aggies needed just three yards for the first down, and Farris hit freshman wide receiv er Terrence Murphy on a five- yard out-route. Murphy crossed the first down marker and was fighting for extra yardage when junior Joselio Hanson slapped the ball out of Murphy’s hands. The Red Raiders recovered the fumble and ended the Aggies’ See Hex oh page 6. Junior quarterback Mark Farris is taken down in the fourth quarter by Page.
