Скачать или смотреть 1990 Texas vs. Texas A&M - First Half

In 1990, after years of frustration, UT sought revenge against the Ags who featured a power running game with Bucky Richardson, 5000 yd runner Darren Lewis, and NFL fullback Robert Wilson. A&M also had a stacked D with loads of NFL talent like Quinten Coryatt (TCU hitter), William Thomas, Kevin Smith, Chris Crooms, and others like Marcus Buckley and Derrick Frazier. I was there in the horseshoe as a student and I'm sure many of you were too on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in front of a national CBS audience.

A&M took the opening KO and marched down the field with over 12 runs and no passes for a Lewis TD. Looking dominant, UT could only hope for better times and to their credit Amadee and Leon Fuller did make some adjustments as we see.

UT could not do much in the opening drives and A&M got the ball back but despite a pretty end around and some abusing of Dronett (must see) could not complete a 3rd down thanks to Stanley Richard.

Gardere then throws an INT to Frazier and A&M exploits the short field for another Lewis TD. A&M dominating on the ground as Robert Wilson throwing some crushing blocks. The PAT shows a lot of Ags in the UT section. Ags up 14-0.


The speedy Adrian Walker takes the KO for a big return setting up the UT scoring drive. This drive is interrupted by an explanation of the Ag 12th man tradition @1922. Gardere takes it to the end zone on a 50 yard run up the gut as the A&M players had no idea who had the ball until the last moment. Peter the Great showing surprising speed in the open field against the NFL quality LBs. 14-7 game now.

Ags get the ball and promptly fumble with Oscar Giles recovering deep in Ag territory. A&M sacks Gardere but not a big yard loss. However the FG attempt is blocked by Derrick Frazier, his 2nd big play of the game.

Later in the quarter Alex Waits averts disaster and miraculously gets off a punt. Ags can't score and give it back to and UT goes on to score with runs by Patrick Wilson who was subbing for an injured Butch Hadnot. Probably the best game of P.Wilson's college career and have a look at some of the hip fakes he puts on the Ag LBs. Keith Cash with a nice 3rd down snag to keep the drive alive. Keith Cash with an excellent TD catch. 14-14 and Halftime .
