C12 Austin American-Statesman Sunday, October 16, 1988 College football: State Pagel brightens SWT picture as 'Cats blind Texas Southern By Reggie Roberts American-Statesman Staff games that SWT had held an opponent scoreless. Everything SWT didn't do in its four consecutive losses was corrected against Texas Southern, who falls to 0-7, 0-4 in the South-. western Athletic Conference. Believe it or not, SWT had a decent pass rush, its tackling improved tremendously and it got stellar play from its defense and special teams. Texas Southern, on its second possession of the game, held the ball almost seven full minutes and drove to the SWT 7 before corner-back Eugene Rogers tipped away a Joe Fontenot pass intended for wide receiver Brian Wiggins to force a fourth and long situation.

mance with an 11-yard touchdown toss to freshman wide receiver Gilbert Price with 4 minutes, 9 seconds to play in the game to give SWT a 31-0 lead. Pagel was replaced by Taylor late in the fourth quarter after SWT recovered the ensuing kickoff that went untouched by Texas Southern. Eight plays later, freshman running back Terrell Washington scored on a 2-yard run to give SWT a 38-0 lead. Washington's touchdown was his first as a Bobcat. TSU avoided a shutout when backup quarterback Clinton Brewster hit wide receiver Will Moore with a 33-yard touchdown strike with 2:26 remaining.

Had SWT held on to the shutout, it would have marked the first time in 39 football is not only bright, but blinding. Pagel, who beat out senior Trent Taylor for the starting job this week, threw touchdown passes of 13 and 11 yards and finished the game hitting eight of 13 passes for 116 yards, two touchdowns and more impressively, no interceptions. Jones, who leads the team in rushing, ran 25 times for 137 yards and accounted for three of SWT's touchdowns. Jones scored on runs of 1 and 10 yards and caught the 13-yard touchdown strike from Pagel. Jones' 137 yards marked the first time this season an SWT running back has rushed for more than 100 yards and the first time in nine games that an SWT back has gone over the 100-yard mark.

"That's the way we plan to play the rest of our games," O'Hara said. "We plan to give the ball to our big backs and let them run with it straight ahead. It worked well tonight." Jones, who got excellent point-of-attack blocking from SWT's mammoth offensive line, also had two receptions for 34 yards. O'Hara earlier this week spoke of his team's inability to make things happen. The Bobcats (3-4, 0-3 in the Southland Conference) must have been listening.

They jumped to a 14-0 halftime lead and were in command the rest of the way. Jason Howes, who booted fW extra points, connected on a 28-yard field goal to give the Bobcats a 17-0 lead. SWT, on its next possession, marched 55 yards on 11 plays and capped the drive on a 10-yard run by Jones. Pagel, who hit three of 11 passes for 36 yards in SWT's 45-7 loss to Baylor last week, sat back in the pocket with all the cool and calm of a fifth-year senior. He especially showed great poise on third- and fourth-down situations.

The Bobcats converted 10 of 15 third-down situations and two of three fourth downs. "I think this game will really help (Greg) Pagel's confidence and the confidence of this team," O'Hara said. "He really played well and made some excellent decisions out there." Pagel culminated his perfor SAN MARCOS If the future of Southwest Texas State football is as bright as it appeared with Greg Pagel at quarterback Saturday night, Coach John O'Hara and company should stock up on sunglasses. Pagel, with a little help from tailback Bill Jones, gave SWT fans a glimpse of what's to come in SWT's 38-7 steamrolling of Texas Southern before 7,417 fans at Bobcat Stadium. And if Pagel, a redshirt freshman In his first collegiate start and Jones, a transfer from SMU, weren't just showing off against lowly TSU, the future of SWT YfWFTT NEVER MEA HI YfWl YY77 THF-TTlfif!
