National title
TEXAS A&M University quarterback Bucky Richardson, a freshman, says
the NCAA's list of 38 alleged rules riolations against the Aggies football pro-
gram will not detract players from their primary focus for 1988: winning the
national championship.
“THIS REALLY doesn’t concern me,” Richardson said after school of-
ficials released the findings of the NCAA’s letter of official inquiry. “We’re not
going to let this distract us. I don’t see any reason why we can’t still go 12-0
next year.”
IN FACT, RICHARDSON said it would be a “letdown” if the Aggies don’t
win the national championship in 1988. A&M has won three consecutive
Southwest Conference championships and returns 14 starters and 50 let-
termen from a 10-2 team that finished 10th in the final Associated Press rank-
ings.
“IT WOULD BE A DISAPPOINTING year if we don’t win the national
championship,” Richardson said. “That’s the next logical step. I feel like we
have a good enough team to go all the way.”
“IF WE GO TO THE Cotton Bowl, that’s great. It won’t be so bad. But I
think everyone knows we can win it and it’d be a letdown if we don’t.”
DAN BEEBE, NCAA assistant director of enforcement, said there is a
chance the
school officials present their case to the Committee on Infractions.
“THIS DOESN’T mean we’ve completed the investigation,” Beebe said.
“We may receive other information to look at......and supplemental allega-
tions could be submitted (to the committee) after the letter of official inquiry
is sent out. But usually, in this type of case, most of our work is already done
when the letter goes out.”
Coach Jackie Sherrill
A&M COACH Jackie Sherrill still has not filled the defensive backs job
vacated last December when Curley Hallman left to take the head coaching
position at Southern Mississippi. Graduate assistant Tim Lewis, a former
Green Bay Packer and a former player for Sherrill at Pittsburgh, is handling
the secondary this spring. Some Aggies insiders say the job will be Lewis’ if
the 26-year-old impresses Sherrill with his spring work. If he lands the job,
Lewis would be the second-youngest full-time assistant in the SWC, behind
SMU’s Forrest Gregg Jr.
Texas Tech football
TEXAS TECH closed spring football practice with four walk-ons listed as
starters—center Len Wright, cornerback Quinton Rhodes, left tackle Tommy
Webb and fullback Shane Sears. Webb and Sears earned their stripes in past
because returning starters at their respective positions did not take part in
spring drills. But Wright and Rhodes held off all comers to emerge as pro-
jected starters for the fall.
TEN REDSHIRT freshmen finished on Tech’s spring two-deep list.
TECH COACHES named Charles Rowe, a sophomore from Killeen Ellison,
as the most improved player of the spring. Rowe finished as a No. 1 outside
linebacker, ahead of defensive end convert James Mosley. Eighteen players
shifted positions during Tech’s spring practices. Despite the earliest starting
date in SWC history (Feb. 29), Tech held only one of 20 spring practices in its
indoor football facility because of bad weather.
Razorbacks
ARKANSAS’ JOHN BLAND, who moved last spring from No. 2 quarterback
to No. 2 cornerback, is back at quarterback this spring.
Houston Cougars
HOUSTON’S ROBERT McDade, a former defensive tackle from SMU, is
being tried at middle linebacker this spring. McDade has trimmed down from
270 pounds to 152 and is listed No. 1 on; the depth chart.
Rice University
RICE UNIVERSITY wide receiver Greg King has been moved to comer-
back and has undergone a “personality transformation” this spring, Coach
Jerry Bemdt says.
“HE WAS A mild-mannered receiver who didn’t stand out,” Bemdt said.
« ui. r.cd ir.‘" s thirty comer who loves to hammer people. As a
coach, you like to see changes like that.”
TIGERS—Shawn Phillips (left) and Steve
Alexander, both of Trinity High School, will
Baylor University
BAYLOR UNIVERSITY is shifting its focus in pass coverage from zone to
man-to-man to take advantage of the Bears’ team speed. Safety Rpbert
Blackmop said the Bears employed man co’ erage less than half the time last
season but will play man-to-man “at least 80 percent of the time” next fall.
WHEN BAYLOR linebacker James Francis took the floor for the Bears’
basketball team in the NCAA tournament, he became the first SWC athlete in
10 years to compete in a bowl game and an NCAA basketball playoff during
his college career. Before Francis, the last one to turn the trick was Houston’s
Leonard Mitchell in 1978.

meet on Saturday, April 23 for Class 3A, 2A and A schools. Interested coaches
