■IRVING, Texas — The Dallas
Cowboys and Los Angeles Rams, a
couple of clubs that have lost what-
ver fondness they ever had for each
er, will stay up late Sunday night

file. “I look at it as a chance to be
petitive.”

|th a 3-2 mark.
We’ve had 12 people out and it’s
en very difficult because of in-
, , ™ies. But we have played well the
" 11 to past few games. Pat (quarterback
j nn ML pj a( j en ) had a very good game
[aist New Orleans last week.”
The Rams have utilized second-
|ar running back Wendell Tyler in
of veteran Lawrence McCutc-
on and the resulting speed in the
kfield has brought a new threat,
t Los Angeles’ chief problem at the
moment, however, is the offensive
perienceio jj ne — w here injuries have created
yle Field Bjjjvoc.
Dallas, meanwhile, has put to-
ther two sound games in a row —
< most recently clubbing Minnesota,
p ^^.i- 36-20. Tony Dorsett has returned to
31X1] form oflate and if he should gain 100

be hurting in the offensive line a lit-

the past, so it is a concern going into
this game.”
The Rams will have the rare op
portunity of playing two weeks in a
row against the only two teams in
the NFL that utilize the “flex” de
fense. New Orleans, with former
Cowboys assistant Dick Nolan at the
helm, uses the defense that Landry
originated. “They may be able to
come up with ways they think are
best to attack the flex,” one Cow
boys assistant said. “But we get to
watch them on film and see how
they ran against New Orleans. It
works both ways.”
Dallas Cowboys running back
Tony Dorsett, who suffered knee
abrasions when he fell from a horse
this week, is a probable starter for
Sunday’s game against the Los
Angeles Rams, a team spokesman
said Thursday.
Dorsett fell from the horse Tues
day on a ranch in Mount Vernon,
Texas, where he and several other
players had been invited for a dove
hunt. He missed practice Wednes
day.
Wide receiver Drew Pearson
missed Thursday’s workout with a
virus. His status for the Rams game
was uncertain.
BALTIMORE — The Houston
Oilers play the Baltimore Colts
Sunday under circumstances un
comfortably similar to the teams’
last meeting.
Oilers’ middle guard Curley Culp
played in the 1976 Monday night
game in Memorial Stadium when
the Oilers were embarrassed 38-14,
and this week he talked as if a repeat
would not surprise him.
“What we have to do the rest of
the season is be consistent, avoid
those peaks and valleys,” the 11-
year veteran said.
Culp added that Coach Bum Phil
lips’ team had not set its course this
year despite a 4-2 record.
“Bum told us before the season
that this was the best team since
he’d been here,” Culp said. “That
could be true. But I think it’s too
early to say how far we’ll go.”
The Oilers played brilliantly in a
31-10 win over an unbeaten Cleve
land Browns team but then fell flat
one week later in a 24-17 loss to the
2-4 St. Louis Cardinals.
Phillips declared that there had
been no letdown in preparation for a
team with a poor record. Against
Baltimore, the Oilers have a chance
to prove him right.
The Colts are 1-5 after beating the
New York Jets 10-8 Sunday.
In 1976, the Oilers went to Balti
more with two straight losses taking
the shine off a 4-1 start. The Colts
stepped on them and it was three
more games before Houston pulled
out of its slide.
There was added uncertainty for
Oilers coaches as they prepared to
defense Baltimore. They did not
know which quarterback would start
against them, Greg Landry or Bert
Jones.
Jones was injured in the Colts’
regular season opener but he re
joined the team in practice this
week.
Dan Pastorini will start at quar
terback for the Oilers despite his
poor performance in the loss to St.
Louis and 14th ranking among AFC
quarterbacks. His effectiveness
rating is 38.6 as compared to Land
ry’s 72.6.
The Oilers passing offense has
been so erratic, despite opponents’
concentrating on stopping running
back Earl Campbell, that tight end
Mike Barber spoke out.
“We’re not playing good foot
ball,” he said. “We can’t keep spit
ting and sputtering like this. Every
game gets more and more important
and they’re ain’t no slackers.
“I guarantee you, the Colts have a
good team. I hope St. Louis taught
us a lesson we won’t forget.”
Barber has made 10 catches in six
games, slightly behind his 1978
pace.
“I’m very upset,” he said.
Wide receiver Kenny Burrough
leads the team with 17 receptions
but that number does not rank him
in the AFC’s top 15.
If Baltimore, eighth in the AFC in
stopping rushing plays, defenses
Houston as St. Louis did, Campbell
probably will have a tough time re
gaining the NFL rushing lead he
lost last weekend.
Campbell’s 622 yards, following
his 54 yards on 13 carries Sunday,
are 63 yards behind Chicago’s Wal
ter Payton.

Pigskin prognostications
Horns to boom Sooners

10 — Mountaineers no longer a joke
after beating Kentucky last week.
South
Alabama 42, Florida 0 — The Bear
calls off the dogs at halftime, but the
second-ranked Tide doesn’t lose
much with the second string.
Louisiana State 17, Georgia 6 —
Georgia’s defense will keep things
close, but the Fighting Tigers, No.
12, remember last year’s loss and
have too much talent.
Florida State 24, Mississippi State
3 — The Seminoles will be in an
ornery mood when they remember
last season’s 55-27 debacle at the
hands of the 20th-rated Bulldogs.
Tennessee 21, Georgia Tech 20
— The Volunteers will be smarting
after being upset by Mississippi
State last week, but the Yellow
Jackets played Notre Dame tough
and will hang close.
Southwest
Texas Tech 16, Arkansas 14 — The
Razorbacks embarrassed the Red
Raiders last year and it’s table
turning time at Lubbock.

sixth-rated Cougars have one of the
nation’s strongest defenses and the
Aggies lack the high-powered of-

Saturday the third-rated Okla
homa Sooners travel to Dallas to
take on the fifth-ranked Texas
Longhorns in what shapes up as the
biggest game of the young football
season.
Last year, the Longhorns were
held to only 191 total yards by the
Sooners, but this year’s Oklahoma
defense hasn’t played as well as last
year’s squad. Texas figures to be
gunning for revenge in front of a
Cotton Bowl crowd of over 72,000
and the Sooners’ high risk offense
should provide Texas with plenty of
good field position.
Our prediction — Texas 27,
Oklahoma 14.
East
Penn State 34, Army 7 — The Nit-
tany Lions finally returned a gleam
to Joe Paterno’s eye last week in
routing Maryland. The Cadets will
need all the artillery they can mus
ter at University Park.
Yale 24, Dartmouth 6 — The
Elis, out to avenge last year’s 10-3
loss to the Big Green, have sol
idified their defense and they
blanked Colgate last week.
Syracuse 37, Temple 30 — Sud
denly the Orangemen have one of
the nation’s most explosive and 11
well-balanced offenses and they ;]
should be too much to handle in a
Veterans Stadium shootout. The
Owls also have a fine offense, but
they haven’t faced a team with Syra
cuse’s firepower.
Pitt 26, Cincinnati 3 — The
17th-ranked Panthers should con
tinue to growl against the outclassed
Bearcats, who were thrashed by
North Carolina last week.

Baylor 23, Southern Methodist 10
— The Bears almost upset Houston
last week and have too much de
fense for the brokendown Mus
tangs.

Michigan 30, Minnesota 7 — You
think the No. 11 Wolverines are
going to lose twice in Ann Arbor this
season?
Indiana 20, Ohio State 16 — The
eighth-rated Buckeyes took North
western ligtly last week and it
showed. The Fighting Hoosiers can
contain Ohio State’s attack. Upset
special.
Nebraska 51, Kansas 17 — The
Comhuskers have been as awesome
as anyone in recent weeks and the
Jayhawks’ defense should lie easy
pickin’ for the nation’s No. 4 team.
Notre Dame 33, Air Force 6 —
Ninth-ranked Fighting Irish had it
too close for comfort last week and
should shoot down the Falcons eas

Cardinals played the Trojans tough
last year and may catch top-rated
Southern Cal.
