Page 14 THE BATTALION MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1979 Pro football scene Oilers top Jets 27-24 in overtime m nrfuuB you EXT AH TOUGHBOV0H3 r Tlk T SAVE you unt n United Press Internationa] HOUSTON — Place kicker Tony Fritsch booted a 35-yard field goal in overtime Sunday and quarterback Dan Pastorini ignored a loud chorus of hometown boos and passed sharply for one of the few times this season, in directing the Houston Oilers to a 27-24 victory over the New York Jets. The Oilers drove methodically down field en route to Fritsch’s field goal after winning the coin toss and accepting the kickoff to start the sudden death. Pastorini completed third down passes of 12 yards to Mike Barber and 22 yards to Rob Carpenter on the 58-yard drive. Jets’ quarterback Richard Todd rallied his team for two touchdowns in the final six minutes to send the game into overtime. He passed 15 yards to Jerome Barkum to pull the Jets to within seven points and then sneaked one yard with 55 seconds remaining for the second. Pastorini completed 18 of 36 for 212 yards with one interception and capped one of his best performances of the season with a 37-yard play- action touchdown pass to tight end Mike Barber. The Oilers, 6-3, also scored on Fritsch’s 47-yard field goal and a one-yard run by Carpenter and a four-yard run by Earl Campbell as they rallied from a 10-3 second quarter deficit to remain one game behind the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Central Division. The Jets, 4-5, struck early on Wesley Walker’s 39-yard touchdown catch from Todd and on a 31-yard Toni Linhart field goal. But they went flat offensively after the fleet Walker suffered a leg injury late in the sec ond quarter. He left the game with 111 yards on four receptions. The victory was Houston’s second in overtime this season. The Jets have lost both of their overtime games. The Jets’ defense set up both of the fourth quarter touchdowns by pushing the Oilers back and forcing them to punt from their own end zone on two consecutive pos sessions. The Jets had to drive only 26 yards for Barkum’s touchdown after a short Cliff Parsley punt and a 15- yard penalty on the Oilers for inter fering with the Jets’ punt returner. Moments later the Jets drove 42 yards in nine plays for the tying score after Parsley had punted only 30 yards. Entering the game, Pastorini had completed only 45 percent of his passes and thrown 13 interceptions in eight games and each incomple tion in the first quarter was greeted by loud jeers from the Oilers fans. But the 10-year veteran, hampered this year by a shoulder injury, quieted the critics with a series of pinpoint passes late in the second quarter. Pastorini was forced to propel the offense after a fiesty Jets defense shut off the running game by hold ing Campbell to 37 yards on 11 car ries. Houston trailed 10-3 and faced a first-and-35 situation on its own 34- yard line when Pastorini went to work, passing to Rich Caster for five yards and Mike Renfro for 17 and 15 yards to earn a first down and fuel the tying touchdown drive. A 26-yard pass interference pen alty against Jets cornerback Bobby Jackson in the endzone gave Hous ton the ball on the one-yard line and on the next play Carpenter banged over. As the Jets tried to retake the lead before halftime Oilers defensive back J.C. Wilson intercepted a Richard Todd pass and returned it 66 yards to the Jets 4-yard line. On the next play Campbell swept right end for the go-ahead touchdown. In the third quarter Pastorini faked a running play on third-and- three at the Jets 37 and passed to Barber for a touchdown to widen the lead.

The victory, in the teams first regular-season meeting since Pittsburgh’s win over Dallas in the Super Bowl last January, left both teams with identical 7-2 records. Harris’ 48-yard touchdown run on the first play of their second posses sion in the third quarter broke up what had been a tight defensive struggle through the first half. The Steelers held a 7-3 advantage at halftime. It marked the 17th time in Harris’ career that he scored two touchdowns in one game, and he pushed his career touchdowns-by- rushing total to 67, fifth best in NFL history. It was his 33rd 100-yard- plus rushing game of his eight-year The Cowboys’ only score came on a 32-yard field goal by Rafael Sep- tien in the second quarter. Each team also missed one 32-yard field goal attempt. The Steelers’ Matt Bahr missed his late in the second quarter, and Septien missed his late in the third period.
