balls thrown his way (37 catches, 583
yards, nine TDs). Brooks, however, is
no side show pass catcher. He hauled
in 29 passes for 607 yards and five
scores. Bropks averages an impressive
20.9 yards per reception.
The ground game is just as explo
sive, even though A1 State doesn't
have anyone who gets 100 or more
yaitls a game. Paul Ashby (4.8 ypc)
has a gyroscope inbedded somewhere
in his system. He rushed for nine
touchdowns and ranked among
SWACs leading scorers with 12 TDs.
Rico White (5.8 ypc) gets more totes
-v than Ashby and is highly proficient in
his own right (six TDs). Together,
these two contribute 150.1 rushing
yards per contest.
The defense is very efficient in
coming through when it counts the
most, allowing a SWAC-low 15.5
ppg. Linebackers Eddie Robinson and
Jerich Green are the crew chiefs for a
fiesty stop unit. Robinson had 73
tackles and five and-a-half sacks.
Green led ASU with 89 tackles.
The secondary played an integral
part in the Hornets picking off 21
passes in '91. Latrod Gamer ranked
among SWACs best with eight inter
ceptions and Emanuel Martin had five
thefts. Garner and Martin aren't the
sole contributors thanks to Sylvester
Longmire. As a threesome, Garner,
Martin and Longmire broke up 41
passes and were in on 151 tackles.

yards on offense and
defense.
Maynor always manages
to give teams fits with his
ability to improvise. He fin
ished the year as No. 6 in the
nation in passing efficiency,
completing 57.2 percent of
his tosses (110-192) for
1,527 yards, and 18 touch
downs, while giving up only
five interceptions. The
Aggies' QB also ran for eight
TDs.
The Aggies have enough
balance to pose problems for
any defense. But their staple
is the ground game and they^f*
have three backs who get t#e
job done when they get the
opportunity.
Turner (6.6 ypc), the
MEAC's No. 2 rusher, is the
most versatile with 1,166 all
purpose yards (851 rushing,
315 receiving). His 11 TDs
(seven running, the rest on
pass receptions) were the
second-highest in the conference.
White (7.3 ypc) Was right behind
Turner in the league rushing stats in
third place with 719 yards and six
scores. Artis scored five times and
averaged 6.1 yards a tote.
Thompson is the prime guy in
A&T's air game. The tight end led
the league in TD receptions (10) and
ended the year with 41 catches for
649 yards. ?
On defense, A&T has made a
habit of making life unbearable.
When these guys played well during
the regular season, opponents didn't
stand much of a chance.
The Aggies excel at pressuring

the quarterback and forcing errant
throws (47 sacks and 22 intercep
tions topped the ME AC).
Down linemen Little, Knox
Thompson and White are the preda
tors up front. Little is the top sack
artist with 15. Thompson had eight
and White contributed 10 to the
cause. Together, these three made
202 tackles.
Comerback Alonza Barnett is
the air pirate of the secondary. He
had eight interceptions during the
regular season, making him the
MEAC's co-leader in that department
along with Florida A&M's William
Carroll.
