Ill’s Akers questions
Oklahoma TD plays
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Texas Coach Fred
Akers on Monday questioned both
Oklahoma touchdown plays in the
Sooners’ 14-7 victory, but said OU
deserved to win because UT made
too many mistakes.
Akers was asked if he could tell
from the game film whether OU
halfback Patrick Collins had stepped
on the sideline on a 45-yard touch
down run.
"It looked like he did, but to say
it’s conclusive, no. . . . What hap
pened on that is the official fell
down and he couldn’t see it,” Akers
said.
Akers was told that several Long
horn players thought Lydell Can-
failed to score on a third-and-goal
from the T exas 1-yard line.
“Well, here again, f rom where we
were, I didn’t think so. And from
where I was, was the same angle the
camera was. The only way you can
see those things is just right on the
goal line. That’s deceiving, it really is
deceiving.”
Oklahoma held T exas to a net 70
yards, the lowest offensive output in
Akers’ nine years at Texas.
“It was not a good performance,”
Akers said.
UT’s coaches rate a grade of 80
percent as winning football, and Ak
ers told his weekly news conference
that OU was “too good a defensive
team to run an offense at them with
70 percent execution.”
Asked if his offensive team had
graded only 70, he said, “If that
high.”
Split end Everett Gay, who had
two pass receptions for 49 yards, was
the automatic winner of the Texas
coaches’ Most Valuable Player award
on offense because he was the only
player nominated. End James McK
inney, with 16 tackles, was the MVP
on defense.
Despite T exas’ low grades on of
fense, Akers said, “It was an excel
lent performance by our entire de
fense. We gave up one big play in
the first half and one in the second.”
He referred to tight end Keith
Jackson’s 43-yard pass reception on
OU’S 80-yard scoring drive in the
first half and Collin’s scoring run in
the fourth quarter.
Akers also said his team is “about
as healthy” coming out of the OU
game as it has ever been. McKinney
has a hurt shoulder and freshman
tailback Eric Metcalf has a thigh
bruise.
Texas, 3-1, resumes Southwest
Conference play Saturday against
Arkansas, 5-0, in Fayetteville, Ark.,
with a televised game starting at 2:30
p.m. on ABC.
Tech recruit
regrets being
lured easily
Pryor says blue chips
should only take advice
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — One-time
Texas Tech football recruit Chris
Pryor, courted by college recruiters
from four institutions, says the
temptations and pressures sidelined
his life.
Pryor, who is at the center of a re
cruitment inquiry at Tech, has ad
vice for other high school seniors
who could be lured with promises of
cars, money and other benefits.
“If I could tell those kids some
thing, I’d tell them to take nothing
but advice,” Pryor told The Dallas
Morning News. “I’d tell them to lis
ten to the warnings and not let the
money and the good times get to
you.”
Pryor, 19, now works for $4 an
hour loading soft-drink trucks.
The former standout running
back at (Converse Jnelson High
School claimed that Rodney Allison,
as an assistant coach at Texas Tech,
fought his way to the inside track.
Pryor, then 17, also got contacts
from Baylor, the University of
Houston and the University of
Texas.
Allison, now an assistant coach at
Duke University, refused to discuss
his recruitment of Pryor. Texas
Tech officials have asked the NCAA
to investigate the events surround
ing Pryor’s signing.
“I really blame myself,” Pryor
said. “People warned me, but I
wouldn’t listen. I never told any
adult about the money or the cars
because I didn’t want to get Tech or
Allison in trouble. Besides, you get
used to the fun.”
He said that he and his best
friend. Chip Lambert, another Jud-
son running back, visited Allison in
his hotel room in San Antonio.
“We didn’t ask for anything, he
just gave us some money,” Pryor
said. “It was about $ 100 each."
Pryor claimed that, during the
next few weeks, Allison gave both
men cash, free use of a rental car,
food, drinks and the use of his hotel
room for parties.
Pryor and Lambert signed letters
of intent in February 1984 to play
with T ech. Pryor lost his Tech schol
arship after failing'to graduate with
his high school class.
NFL Extremes
R Bears becoming pro boll's newest dynasty
Associated Press
The Chicago Bears are the NFL’s newest dynasty.
Forget that they’ve won nothing more than last year’s NFC Central title;
forget that the Los Angeles Rams also are 6-0.
Remember only that the Bears humbled the NFL’s designated dynasty,
the San Francisco 49ers, 26-10 Sunday — on the 49ers’ own turf at Candle
stick Park. They were the challengers knocking off the champ and if the
champions aren’t champion anymore, then the Bears must be.
For one week, at least.
“They’re the best team in the league right now,” San Francisco cor-'
netback Eric Wright said af ter the Bears avenged the 23-0 defeat adminis
tered by the 49ers in the NFC title game last year. “They have a quarterback
that pumps them up and a cornerback that keeps the pressure on.”
49ers Coach Bill Walsh added, “We were a great team last year. They
(the Bears) were a great team on Sunday.”
Indeed, the Bears were dominant.
They scored on their first four possessions — a touchdown and three
field goals — to take a 16-0 lead that San Francisco could never overcome.
They more than doubled the 49ers’ total yardage — 372 to 183 —almost
the exact reverse of the 387-186 in the game last year, when Steve Fuller was
at quarterback for the Bears in place of the injured Jim McMahon.
They had seven sacks of Joe Montana by six different players and they
rattled the 49ers into numerous illegal procedure and motion penalties —
San Francisco drew 13 flags in all.
And they rubbed it in by letting their 314-pound rookie defensive
tackle, William “The Refrigerator” Perry, carry the ball on the game’s last
two plays.
“They played a near-perfect ball game,” said 49ers safety Carlton Wil
liamson, wlio did what his team’s offense couldn’.t do — score a touchdown
on Chicago’s one imperfect play, an interception when McMahon should
have eaten the ball.
Oilers listening to those fomilior boos again
Associated Press
HOUST ON — The sack masks are back in the Astrodome, along with a
familiar string of Houston Oilers’ losses that even has some players agreeing
with the boos they heard following Sunday’s 21 -6 loss to Cleveland.
“Yeah, I’m tired of rebuilding, tired of losing and tired of excuses,” Oil
ers wide receiver Tim Smith said. “There’s going to be some heavy soul-
searching around here this week.”
The Oilers used a conservative, time-consuming ground game that
netted boos from the Astrodome crowd despite a 6-0 halftime lead.
When the Browns roared back in the second half to hand the Oilers
their fifth straight loss, f ans streamed to the exits and the fans who stayed
gave the Oiler of fense heavy boos each time it took the field.
“I agree with everybody that’s disappointed that we didn’t move the
football belter in the second half,” Houston Coach Hugh Campbell said
Monday. “I also feel very strongly about the direction where the football
team is going.”
The Oilers defeated Miami in the season opener before dropping their
next five in a row. The Oilers lost 10 games in a row last season and finished
the season 3-13.
Campbell said the boos should be directed at him because he formulated
the ball-control game plan that eventually backfired.
“To pull something like that off, you’ve got to make as many big plays as
you give up,” Campbell said.
The Browns sacked Houston quarterbacks Warren Moon and Mike Mo-
roski seven times for 41 yards in losses. The Oilers have been sacked 23
times in three games, leaving Moon battered and watching the end of the
last two games from the sidelines.
