stay longer on our blocks. They have big, strong
guys up front, and we were just overwhelmed.”
The defensive job was more than enough for
A&M junior quarterback Reggie McNeal to engi
neer a career-best performance, throwing for 298
yards and one touchdown while completing 17 of
24 attempts.
“I saw a big change in Reggie this week,”
Franchione said. “He knew the game plan and
prepared well.”
McNeal wasn’t so quick to accept all the accolades.
“The main difference today was protection fropi
the line,” McNeal said. “I could pick receivers all
day and run if I had to.”
After nursing a thumb injury suffered in the loss
to Utah, McNeal did not miss a day of practice in
the week leading up to the game and gave a perfor
mance that included a scramble from 22 yards out to
score with 2:44 left in the first quarter.
A&M defensive back Jonte Buhl intercepted a
pass from Wyoming quarterback Corey Bramlet
on the ensuing drive to set up a 40-yard field goal
from Todd Pegram and put the Aggies up 10-0 go
ing into halftime.
On the Cowboys’ first play from scrimmage in
the second half, A&M linebacker Justin Warren
intercepted a pass from quarterback J.J. Raterink
at. the Wyoming 23-yard line and hauled it in for
the score to give the Aggies a 17-point lead.
“That was the straw the broke the camel’s back,”
Glenn said. “That was the first nail in the coffin
and we couldn’t rebound from that.”
A&M added another rushing touchdown from
Chris Alexander from one yard out, and with six
minutes left in the game, McNeal hit true fresh
man Kerry Franks for an 84-yard touchdown pass,
the ninth-longest in Aggie history. Franks, the only
true freshman to see action for A&M, was one of
nine receivers to catch a pass on the day.
“He is Terrence (Murphy’s) protege,” McNeal
said of Franks.
When the dust cleared, the Aggies had posted
481 yards of total offense on the Cowboys, includ
ing 128 receiving yards from Franks. The Cow
boys had few defensive breakdowns on the day,
but that strike was one of them.
“We’re going to go back to the drawing board,"
Glenn said. “Maybe we need to subtract some stuff
if we’re making so many mistakes. It’s better to do
a little and do it well.”
Glenn pulled starting quarterback Bramlet in
the second quarter in favor of Raterink to rem
edy his offensive frustrations, sparking contro
versy over the Cowboys’ starting quarterback
job. Glenn acknowledged that maybe it’s time
for a change, responding to questions about
Raterink possibly challenging for the starting
job with “we’ll see.”
A&M played the game without the services
of sophomore running back Courtney Lewis,
who is rehabilitating from a leg injury, and se
nior wide receiver Terrence Murphy, who was
shaken up in the third quarter and did not return
to the game.
Senior tailback Keith Joseph was the leading
rusher for the Aggies, compiling 82 yards on 20
attempts. Franchione said he knows that to stay
successful, you have to take a win in stride.
“The defense needed a performance like today
badly,” he said. “But you can’t spend too much
time basking in the glory of a win.”
