Bengals still in Super
form, bombard Oilers
Bowl
27-6
SMU, Arkansas at top
of SWC after victories
United Press International
The Southwest Conference
face is already being touted as a
two-team affair, and the Texas
Longhorns haven’t even played
a down.
Southern Methodist and
Arkansas rolled to impressive
decisions last weekend and
quickly checked in as the teams
that appear to be the toughest to
deal with in the SWC.
Texas thinks it belongs in that
category as well, and the Lon
ghorns will finally have a chance
to prove themselves next
weekend in Austin.
The Longhorns will host
Utah, a team that has already
split two games this season —
losing last weekend to Arizona
State, 23-10.
Texas’ opener will highlight
the weekend schedule, although
a number of intriguing match
ups are on the calendar.
Among them will be Texas
A&M’s return to the field in a
meeting with Texas-Arlington.
And if that does not seem like
much of a test, consider the fact
that the Mavericks scored 63
points Saturday night. A&M
took last week off following their
surprising loss to Boston College
Sept. 4.
TCU will also be among the
watched teams next weekend
since the Horned Frogs — a 24-9
winner against Utah State to
start the season — appear to
have a decent chance on the
road against the Kansas
Jayhawks, a team that was whip
ped in their opening game by
Wichita.
And Houston, which was
drubbed by Miami in the
Orange Bowl, 31-12, will be
under the microscope against
Arizona State. The Cougars
have already lost fullback Ernie
Wesley with a separated shoul
der and do not yet appear to be
of championship contending
quality.
Rice and Texas Tech will be
looking for their first wins next
weekend — the Owls hoping to
bounce back on the road against
Tulane after being stunned by
Southwestern Louisiana, 21-14;
and Texas Tech hosting the Air
Force following its 14-10 setback
at the hands of New Mexico.
Finally, the league’s two show-
stoppers — SMU and Arkansas
— will be expected to run their
records to 2-0. The Mustangs,
who mauled Tulane last
weekend, 51-7/will make the
cross-state journey to El Paso to
face the Texas-El Paso Miners.
And Arkansas, which mashed
Tulsa, 31-0, will host the Naval
Academy.
“It is games Ike that (against
Texas-EI Paso) that scare a coach
to death,” said SMU’s Bobby
Collins, whose debut against
Tulane turned out to be an ex
traordinary one. “We have got
to put Tulane out of our mind,
correct the mistakes we made,
get some of our bumps and
bruises healed and go out there
and play the game.”
Texas-El Paso, one of the
downtrodden teams in college
football in recent years, opened
with a win over New Mexico
State but last weekend was
blasted by Washington, 55-0.
“All I know,” said Collins, “is
that Washington has a very good
football team.”
But so does SMU. The Mus
tangs, coming off their win over
Tulane, appear to be every bit
the national championship con
tender they were forecast to be
during the summer.
Collins sidesteps that
thought, however.
“All I can do is compare this
team with the team we had at
Southern Mississippi (from
where Collins came this year to
take over the Mustangs),” the
SMU coach said. “We had a
good team there. This team,
though, has bigger and faster
players than we had there. This
team has personnel that can play
for any team in the country and
play well.
“I believe this team can play
defense. I think if we can stay
healthy we can compete for the
conference championship. And
if we do that we will have to be
considered.”

CINCINNATI — If the Cin
cinnati Bengals really are as
good as they looked Sunday,
they may go to the Super Bowl
again.
If the Houston Oilers really
are as bad as they looked Sun
day, they may plummet to the
bottom of the NFL.
Simply put, Cincinnati was
classy and Houston was horrible
in the Bengals’ 27-6 win in an
NFL regular season opener.
The outcome was certain
midway through the third quar
ter when Cincinnati scored two
touchdowns in one minute for a
24-0 lead. The final score would
have been more lopsided had
the Bengals not wasted several
long, impressive marches.
As it was, Cincinnati had all
the Firepower it needed in Ken
Anderson, last season’s AFC
Player of the Year, who seems
intent on repeating this year.
The 12-year veteran com
pleted 29 of 40 passes for 354
yards, two touchdowns and ho
interceptions. He even ran for
another TD.
Anderson’s arm is accurate,
but he won’t pat himself on the
back with it. After a decade of
brilliant play, he still won’t brag.
“It’s an obvious advantage to
have such good receivers,” was
the way Anderson explained his
passing Sunday. “The big thing
is, we got off to a good start.”
The Bengals, after losing the
Super Bowl to San Francisco last
season, are hungry for another
chance this year.
“This is the best job we’ve ever
done against Houston,” Bengal
boss Forrest Gregg said. “They
have some powerful people,
Earl Campbell for one.”

Cincinnati has had real prob
lems containing Campbell in the
past. He’s rushed for more than
100 yards in six games against
the Bengals.
While Campbell played a de
cent game Sunday with 82 yards
in 20 carries, he was the only
offense Houston had. The Oil
ers’ only other rushing gain was
a 7-yard scramble by quarter
back Gifford Nielsen. That’s it.
And Nielsen didn’t do much
passing. He was 11 for 17 for
119 yards. Houston’s total
offense, with 37 yards lost in
sacks, amounted to only 171
yards. Cincinnati rolled up 419
yards.
“We controlled the ball,” said
Gregg, happy that the Bengals
were on offense 40 out of 60
minutes.
“Cincinnati was in a free
wheeling, easy situation all day
long,” Houston head coach Ed
Biles said. “If we had moved the
ball the first half, it might have
been an interesting game, but it
wasn’t.”
Houston could have phoned
in its first half. Its first quarter
offense consisted of six plays,
two punts and no first downs.
“I looked up and the first
quarter was over and we hadn’t
done anything,” Nielsen said.
“They threw a couple of/defen
sive) things at us that we really
weren’t expecting.
“They were walking their
linebackers up tight. They came
(blitzed) a couple of times, but
then dropped off other times.
Really kept us off balance.”
Nielsen is starting his first full
season as a regular quarterback
— and the Bengals knew it.
“They probably said, ‘Let’s
put
and
ome pressure on the lid
see what he can
Nielsen said. “I’m not sure lai
justed to what they did tout.
Believe it or not, in thesecoii
quarter Houston hadtheballfn
just one series. And it fizzled*
midfield.
Cincinnati, which led 1
halftime thanks to Andersoni
18-yard TD pass to Dan
and a 43-yard field goal byJij
Breech, capped the Oilers fa
good in the third period.
Anderson, after lofting a W
yard bomb to Cris Gollinswoili,
ran 2 yards for a TD andalM
lead.
