Against the Colts, he was taken down four times, all within the final four minutes of the game. “You get a little frustrated when you score only three points when you're used to scoring more.” said Carr, which completed 12 of 22 pass attempted for 99 yards. “But we’re getting better.” The Texans, however, are still without a touchdown in more than two games now. “We are dropping balls, get ting balls tipped at the line of scrimmage for interceptions.” center Steve McKinney said. “Those are the things that we have to stop.” The Colts’ Peyton Manning had touchdown passes of 42 You yet u little frustrated when you score only three points when you're used to scoring .»uu up. mntable more. m h id.

He was 29-0 coming into Saturday's game. “I’m really pleased that our football team could come in here and beat a team as good as Texas A&M,” said Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer. “This is a team that hadn’t been beaten here (by non-conference opponents) in thirteen years. It’s a credit to R.C. and his pro gram and their consistency. It was just a tough fight out there all day long. It was tough, but a great win for our program.” The total of three points was the lowest amount scored by the Aggies at Kyle Field since the 1987 season opener against No. 6 Louisiana State University when the Aggies lost 17-3. “I’m obviously disappointed that we came out of a contest only scoring three points,” Slocum said. “I’m disappointed in our offensive production, and our total offensive numbers were disappointing as well.” offensive line, or lack thereof, is the eonw denominator that is plaguing both the backs and the running backs.
