Newcomers, holdouts
smiling over Oilers’ win
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Houston Oilers
newcomers, late-reporting holdouts
and quarterbac k. Warren Moon’s lec
turing skills all received partial
credit Monday for the team’s sur
prising season opening upset of the
Miami Dolphins.
Moon, a quiet leader on and of f
the field last season, decided last Fri
day it was time to get vocal and
spoke out at a team meeting about
positive thinking and encouraged
the Oilers to believe in themselv es.
Houston lost 10 straight games
last season and finished 3-13. I he
Oilers were 1-4 in preseason games
this season, but Moon got his point
across.
The Oilers beat the Dolphins 2b-
23 in their National Football League
opener Sunday.
“I felt we had too many players
from winning college programs not
to have a positive attitude about our
selves,” Moon said. ”1 think I got mv
point across. Collecting a paycheck
isn’t what it’s all aliout around here.”
The Houston running game
showed new sparkle with newcomers
Butch Woolfolk and Mike Ro/ier,
and the return of training camp
holdout f ullback Larry Moriarty.
Wide receiver Drew Hill, obtained
in the off-season from Los Angeles.
added speed to the lineup and took
pressure off steady receiver Tim
Smith.
First-round draft choice Ray Chil
dress started his first pro game at de
fensive end and was in Miami quar
terback Dan Marino’s face in the
first series, deflecting one pass.
Woolfolk, obtained from the New
York Giants in the off-season,
caught an 80-yard touchdown bomb
from Moon and Rozier, who spent
the past two seasons in the United
States Football League, scored his
first two NFL touchdowns.
Lhey shared playing time and
said they liked it that way.
“The running game was success
ful the w ay we did it today and if that
hadn’t worked, we’ve got other op
tions open to us,” Woolfolk said.
“I’m not worried about playing time.
If we win the game, that’s w hat’s im
portant.”
Ro/ier, who isn’t in a starting role
for the first time as a pro, said “I’m
comfortable when we win and un
comfortable when we lose. That’s
the difference.”
Houston Coach Hugh Campbell
thinks it’s a good system that he
doesn’t plan to change.
“We had a lot of offense and it was
easy to keep them happy,” Campbell
said. “I know both of them are better
when Larry’s in there than if they
were in the game at the same time.”
It will be rare to see all three run
ners in the game, Campbell said.
“I don’t know how to get them
both in there with Larry unless we
run the wishbone,” Campbell said.
Campbell said the victory was im
portant because the Oilers proved to
themselves that they could come
back and win. Houston recovered
from a 13-0 deficit in the first half
and fought back after trailing 23-19
late in the game.
Moon thought the victory doubly
important.
“We played so hard in our opener
last season for three quarters and
ended up losing,” Moon said. “I
think that had an effect on the rest
of our season.”
Shocker: A&M spikers lose to Sam Houston
In an upset similar to the Dallas
Cowboys 30-point victory ovei the
Washington Redskins, the Lexas
A&M, vollevball team lost its fust
game61 the season Monday night.
An even greater shock was the
fact that the loss came at the hands
of Sam Houston State 18-16, 17-15
and 15-12.
Ferry Condon’s team was ex
pected to easily defeat the liearkats,
out on the first game day found it
self with a 0-1 record.
1 he Aggies, who lost only three
games all of last season, will not have
much time to regroup before travel
ing to Illinois Friday for the South
ern Illinois Tournament.
A&M will get another shot at Sam
Houston on Sept. 24, the Aggies’
first home game of the season.
