‘04 Aggie football is reminiscent of past greats
s
aturday’s win over Clemson was a
“shed” victory for the Aggies. It was
watershed victory, to be
sure, but also a woodshed
victory.

SHAWN MILLENDER | exas
A&M took the Tigers to hand
them a pretty horrific beatdown.
Clemson quarterback Charlie
Whitehurst has talent. So much
talent that many analysts had him
pegged as a dark horse Heisman
Trophy candidate.
The 2003 Aggie defense
made strong cases for several
candidates such as Larry
Fitzgerald, Rashaun Woods,
Cedric Benson and Jason “Peg-leg”
White. This year’s team wanted to
avoid punching Whitehurst’s ticket to the
New York Athletic Club.
There was a time, however, when such
star players lived in abject fear of the
Wrecking Crew. In the 1985 Cotton Bowl
against Auburn University, a relatively
obscure running back named
Bo Jackson ran afoul of
the Aggies. Thanks to that
defense. Bo knows goal line
stands and the anguish of
personal failure.
Two years later, to the day,
fresh off his appearance on the cov
er of Sports Illustrated (the universal
portent of doom), Notre Dame wide receiver Tim
Brown ran headlong into the Aggie defense and
came away beaten and ejected from the game.
In the 1990 Holiday Bowl, Brigham Young
University quarterback Ty Detmer hit a ma
roon-clad buzz saw in a 65-14 rout that left him
with two separated shoulders and possibly mentally
scarred for life.
Saturday, Whitehurst ran into a team that
sparked memories of talented linebackers from the
1980s and 90s such as Dat Nguyen, Adam Bob, Quentin Coryatt
and “Blitz Brothers” John Roper and Aaron Wallace. This team
looked much more like the one that nearly took University of
Houston ’89 Heisman quarterback Andre Ware’s head
off than the one that nearly handed
All-American honors to Missouri’s
Brad Smith in 2003.
It’s almost eerie how much
this team is reminiscent of the
1984 team. Head coach Dennis
Franchione and junior quarter
back Reggie McNeal are a
present-day Jackie Sherrill
and Kevin Murray.
Sophomore running
back Courtney Lewis and
senior receiver Terrence
Murphy are showing
flashes of Roger Vick and
Jimmy Teal. Red Bryant,
Erik Mayes and Justin
Warren may draw com
parisons to Ray “Clob
ber Line” Childress,
Domingo Bryant and
Johnny Holland.
That ‘84 team started
the season with an
impressive showing in
non-conference play, going
3-0. However, it lost five of
its first six conference games
before beating Texas Christian
University and absolutely thrash
ing the University of Texas to fin
ish the season with a respectable 6-5.
While the Aggies didn’t go to a bowl, the
1984 season set the stage for an unprecedented
run of success. They won three SWC titles
in a row and went 6-0 against Texas. Jackie
Sherrill would never lose to Texas again.
In 1996, under the direction of trans
fer quarterback Branndon Stewart,
the Aggies went a disappointing 6-6.
Volleyball
heads to
K-state
By Nikki Knight
THE BATTALION
The No. 19 Kansas State Uni
versity volleyball team (6-4, 0-l
Big 12) hopes to earn its 20th
straight win at home as it hosts
No. 11 Texas A&M in Manhat
tan, Kan. Tuesday night.
The Aggies (6-2, 2-0) head to
Kansas after defeating Iowa State
last week in Ames, and then-No.
24 Kansas at home Friday night.
A&M head coach Laurie Cor-
belli said she presents her team
with a big challenge: To be the
first Aggie team to ever win at
K-State. She said the atmosphere
at K-State has always kept A&M
off its rhythm and the key to
winning will be getting into the
team’s own rhythm early and
playing its own type of game.
“(The players have) worked re
ally hard on playing Aggie volley
ball and recognizing sooner when
they fall into their opponent’s
pace,” Corbelli said. “The team
has done a good job of being resil
ient with that. I think we’re ready
to test that in ourselves.”
Senior middle blocker/outside
hitter Melissa Munsch leads the
country in blocks per game and
Corbelli said she will be a key
asset defensively. Munsch also
earned her third career triple
double Friday night and posted
14 kills, 10 digs and a season-
high 10 blocks.
Offensively, Corbelli said
she is confident in the diversity
