Dodge to attend Texas, notA&M United Press International PORT ARTHUR — The record setting pass-catch combination of Todd Dodge and Brent Duhon will play their college football at the Uni versity of Texas, the Port Arthur News reported Wednesday. Dodge threw for 3,135 yards last year and Duhon caught 89 passes for 1,298 yards in leading Port Arthur Jefferson to the state Class 5A finals. Duhon and Dodge, recruited by colleges throughout the nation, had said previously they planned to attend the same school. They visited the Texas campus last week and can- celled a trip this weekend to Brigham Young. Stabler OK with Shofner NFL free agents free United Press International HOUSTON — Just hired offensive coordinator Jim Shofner Wednesday said he was prejudiced in favor of Kenny Stabler retaining the Houston Oilers top quar terback job. Oilers head coach Ed Biles said Stabler would be placed on a weight-training program before the 1981 season, and even then he will not keep Gifford Nielsen on the bench automatically. The two coaches agreed on one thing at a news confer ence announcing Shofner’s hiring. They both said the run-oriented Oilers of 1980 would “open it up” regard less of the quarterback. T’ve been a fan of Ken Stabler’s for years. He’s the quality quarterback in the league,” Shofner said. “It’s hard to have a completely open mind (on the quarter back situation). I don’t know that much about Nielsen and I’ve seen Kenny so much over the years.” At that point, Biles interjected, “Let me answer that question. Gifford Nielsen will be given every opportun ity to win the job.” Shofner, the Cleveland Browns quarterback coach for the past three seasons, said he has seen no sign that Stabler, 35, cannot throw as powerfully as he did in the past. Biles, who replaced Bum Phillips as head coach Jan. 2, said a “primary offensive objective” was to get Stabler back on a weight-training program which he went through for many seasons at Oakland. “I have talked to Kenny Stabler since the season ended and I believe in him — or I would have traded him,” Biles said. “Kenny wants to win. He was probably the most disappointed guy in the world when we lost to Oakland. After the season ended, Stabler was probably a beat-up, disgusted man.” Shofner was Biles’ second choice for the offensive coordinator job after his first choice, former Baltimore Colts head coach Ted Marchibroda, could not get together with Biles on a salary. Meanwhile, Atlanta Falcons linebacker coach Doug Shively had an interview scheduled with Biles Wednes day, and that talk gained importance after Pittsburgh Steelers assistant coach Woody Widenhofer rejected the Oilers’ offer to become the defensive coordinator.
