yards rushing last week against Colorado, the Baylor running game
llie Bears were limited to a meager 32 rushing yards Saturday by
the Aggie defense.
In addition, after being humbled to the tune of giving up more
than 500 yards passing last week, the Aggie secondary blanketed
the Baylor receivers, limiting Baylor to 138 yards receiving.
Last but not least, the front seven harassed Baylor quarterback
Aaron Karas all day, never giving him time to set his feet and find
his receivers. Before all was said and done, the A&M defense had
racked up six sacks.
Through all the turmoil of the Aggies’ three-game losing streak,
one thing remained consistent: the play of sophomore free safety
Ja/son Appel. Saturday was no different as Appel was all over the
field, recording five tackles and a 64-yard interception return for a
toochdown that helped cement the Aggie win.
“It was a good win for us, I think we needed it,” Appel said.
“The main thing we did is we came out and we didn’t let them
back in the game. Our whole goal all week was to stop their first
drive in the third quarter. We came out and we did that, and we are
pretty excited about that.”
If anything, Saturday proved to be a day of redemption for the
Aggie defense, which is still trying to earn the coveted Wrecking
Crew title.
Aggie defenders proved they still have it in them to go out and
dominate an opposing offense, a mentality they must keep to sur
vive a brutal conference schedule.
In the coming weeks, the Aggies will face the likes of Nebraska,
Oklahoma, and of course Texas, not to mention conference upstarts
Oklahoma State, Kansas and Missouri.
But for now, the defense can take comfort in knowing it can
still play.
Aggies
Continued from page 5
The A&M passing game was
t as successful. In the third
quarter. McNeal put an excla
mation point on the blowout
victory when he hit wide
receiver Jamaar Taylor for a
yard touchdown, the
Aggies’ longest reception in
more than two years.
“It was bad and went to
worse,” said Baylor coach Guy
Morriss. “It looks like (A&M)
woke up. They just whipped our
We didn’t play very well,
we didn’t execute very well, we
didn’t tackle well, we didn’t
cover well and it just got away
from us.”
Taylor finished the game with
145 receiving yards and two
touchdowns, while McNeal
went 9-of-14 passing for 199
yards.
“This was a key game for us,
knowing that Baylor beat
Colorado last week,” Taylor
said. “This was a big win for us.”
Things will not get any easier
the rest of the way for the
Aggies, who own the nation’s
toughest remaining schedule.
A&M will try to continue mov
ing forward next week when it
travels to Lincoln to face
Nebraska.

The Texas A&M volleyball
team recorded its 15th straight
win against Iowa State on
Saturday, beating the Cyclones
30-18, 30-27, 20-30, 30-16.
The win was the first Big 12
road victory of the season for
the Aggies (12-5, 4-3 Big 12).
The Cyclones fall to 9-9 and 2-
6 in the league.
A&M started out quickly by
jumping out to a 19-10 lead in
the first game. Sophomore
Laura Jones eventually fin
ished the game with a kill, and
the Aggies posted a .390 hit
ting percentage and held the
Cydones to a .083.
After Iowa State won game
three, A&M went on an 11-1
scoring streak in game four to
take firm command of the
match.
Melissa Munsch led the
Aggies in the match with 16
kills, and Beth Skypala added
15 kills and a team-high 18
digs. Skypala also led A&M
with a .367 hitting percentage.
The Aggies outblocked the
Cyclones 12-8 and also posted
18 more digs.
A&M returns to action
Wednesday when it hosts the
Kansas Jayhawks at 7 p.m.
Late FG gives Dallas
win over Eagles
IRVING, Texas (AP) — Add
beating the Philadelphia
Eagles to the list of things the
Dallas Cowboys can do under
Bill Parcells that they couldn’t
the last few years.
Randal Williams foiled a
game-opening onside kick by
returning it 37 yards for a touch
down and Billy Cundiff kicked a
28-yard field goal with 1:11 left
to give the Cowboys a 23-21
victory over the Eagles on
Sunday, ending a six-game los
ing streak to their division rivals.
Dallas had lost those games
by an average of 25 points
and hadn’t scored an offen
sive touchdown in the last
three. That made this
matchup a key early season
test for Parcells.
With a fourth straight win, the
Cowboys improved to 4-1 for
the first time since 1995 and
remain alone atop the NFC
East. Dallas goes to Detroit
next week with a chance to
match its win total from each of
the last three seasons.
McNair hands
Texans 38-17 loss
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) —
The Tennessee Titans are hard
to beat when Steve McNair is
nearly perfect.
McNair had a perfect quarter
back rating in the first half, fin
ished with a career-high 421
yards passing and threw three
touchdowns to Derrick Mason
as the Titans routed the Houston
Texans 38-17 on Sunday.
The Titans (4-2) returned
home for their only game in
Nashville in October deter
mined to erase the memory of
last week’s loss at New
England. It wasn’t hard
against Houston (2-3) as
Tennessee also intercepted
three passes, returning one
for a touchdown.
Erron Kinney dropped
McNair’s first pass on the
Titans’ second play, but McNair
completed his next 12.
