I’m tired of seeing the Cowboys lose;
Leave Sweeney in the game next wed
The Dallas Cowboys needed a savior, and they may
have found him in the form of Kevin Sweeney.
Oh yeah, the Cowboys dropped their sixth straight
game, but that isn’t really any news. The news is that
there was finally a spark of life in the team,
particuliarly in the offense. The Dallas signal callers,
an anchor of any team, have been weak at best this fall.
Sunday afternoon is a time when average college
students must bear up to the reality that, after a lazy
weekend, they have 40 hours of studying to
accomplish in 10 hours or rationalize the need to watch
pro football.
If you’re like me, the football and television have a
strong pull.
The problem this Sunday was that my favorite team,
the Cowboys, were playing the Giants. Watching the
Cowboys’ games this season has been torture at best.
They lose, lose, and lose some more.
I pondered on whether that political science book
should be opened or whether I should subject myself to
the frustration of watching Steve Pelluer bumble his
way through the Meadowlands.
Of course I chose the football game.
I usually have given Dallas a fighting chance of
grabbing my attention this season before turning off
the television.
After all, it’s difficult to admit and accept that the
Cowboys are not a sterling team anymore. It’s
distressing to want to cover your eyes everytime the
ball is snapped.
But still we watch.
Pelluer did fumble-bumble his way through the first
half with me wincing and cringing as he went. Pelluer
just doesn’t have what it takes —he has proved that if
nothing else.
I must admit that I haven’t been able to watch a

Die is not in Sweeney’s vocabulary.
He kept striking and scrambling until that,
any time left to scramble. Three touchdownsi:

Pelluer is definitely not what Tom Landry® ||

complete Cowboy game the entire year because of the
poor play. I’ve always had to escape the trauma at
some point or return only for the last painful minutes.
After falling 26-0 against the Giants in the first half,
1 don’t know why I kept watching Sunday. Cowboy
fans are getting more apathetic about their team each
week.
But still we watch.
Maybe it was the shots of Sweeney on the sidelines
and the speculation of Terry Bradshaw and Verne
Lundquist that Pelluer would be pulled.
Pelluer pulled?
Please oh please, I prayed.
I was hoping to get a chance to see what that scab
quarterback could do in a real season of pro football.
There must be some hope beyond Pelluer. Sweeney
had shined during the strike, but what could he do
today?
A whole lot.
Sweeney set the second half on fire, and the Giants
Pelluer even had the gall to say in a post-gam
interview that he felt he could come outinlk ;
half and win.
In the words of a Valley Girl: “I’m so sure

up my feelings about Sweeney’s appearance
Bradshaw said, “Does Sweeney have thea

Does he have the uh..., give me a word Verm
Yes, Terry, 1 agree with you.

Sweeney has to wait
to see if he will start
IRVING (AP) — Kevin Sweeney, the
hero of a near NFL miracle in the Mead
owlands, will have to wait until at least
Tuesday to learn whether he is the new
starting quarterback for the Dallas Cow
boys.
Sweeney threw three touchdown
passes in the second half against the New
York Giants on Sunday but Dallas fell
short 29-21 for the Cowboys’ sixth con
secutive loss.
The Cowboys haven’t lost six games
in a row since their expansion year of
1960.
Dallas coach Tom Landry said he
didn’t want to speculate yet whether
Steve Pelluer would retain his starting
job for Sunday night’s game against the
Minnesota Vikings.
“I don’t know what will happen right
now,” said Landry, who usually an
nounces all lineup changes at his weekly
Tuesday press luncheon. “We were a
different team with Sweeney out there.
Sweeney fueled the fire.”
Sweeney was the hero of the NFL
strike replacement games for Dallas last
year, winning both games he started.
However, he had never played in a regu
lar game until Sunday.
“I know who everybody wants to be
the starter,” Landry said. “He (Swee
ney) was about the only exciting part of
what happened against the Giants.”
Sweeney started the third period with
Dallas trailing 26-0. Sweeney hit 19 of
37 passes for 189 yards.
Landry is in a quandary not to destroy
Pelluer’s confidence. Only last week he
predicted that Pelluer “will blossom
out” and become an efficient quar
terback.
Even Pelluer admitted what Sweeney
did “was exciting and awesome.”
“I made some poor decisions in the
first half but I felt I could come back in
the second half,” Pelluer said. “It was
coach Landry’s decision, and I’ll respect
it.”
Sweeney wasn’t pushing Landry to
start him.
“I feel like I deserve to play, but I will
have patience,” Sweeney said. “I’ve
learned a lot in the last two years on the
sidelines. If I sit down, I’ll just wait my
turn.
“I’m sure the Giants didn’t know
what to expect. I didn’t know.”
Sweeney took the Cowboys on touch
down drives of 70, 59, and 80 yards.
Two of his touchdown passes came on
fourth down.
“He just wouldn’t accept a defeat,”
Landry said. “If we don’t have a de
fensive back fall down on a long pass
play and the Giants get a field goal then
we are driving for the winning touch
down at the end. That would have beer
fun.”
Sweeney finished his Fresno State ca
reer as the most prolific passer in NCAA
history with 10,623 yards. He had 31
games of 200 yards or more pasing.
Jim Sweeney, Kevin’s father and the
head coach at Fresno State, said “Kevir
has a great deal of confidence and is hare
to intimidate. I’m going to have to get {
tape of that game. It must have beer
something.”
Oilers smother
Browns, Kosar
HOUSTON (AP) — Mike Rozier
and Alonzo Highsmith led a rugged
ground game with touchdown runs,
and the Houston defense contained
Cleveland quarterback Bemie Kosar,
leading the Oilers to a 24-17 victory
Monday night.
The victory ended five years of
winless frustration for the Oilers,
who snapped a seven-game losing
streak against the Browns and won
their 15th home game in their last 16
non-strike contests.
It left the Oilers with a 6-3 record,
a game behind Cincinnati in the AFC
Central. The Browns fell to third in
the division with a 6-4 record.
Houston quarterback Warren
Moon, who had lost to the Browns
seven times, hit Ernest Givins with an
eight-yard touchdown pass in the
third quarter, extending the Oilers’
lead to 21-3.
But the Browns fought back with a
20-yard double reverse by Reggie
Langhome for a touchdown and a
four-yard touchdown pass from Ko
sar to tight end Ozzie Newsome with
7:26 left in the game. The reception
was the 600th of Newsome’s NFL ca
reer.
The Oilers struck quickly in the
third quarter after Johnny Meads
blocked a punt by Cleveland’s Max
Runager at the Browns’ 30.
On the third play, Moon scrambled
out of the pocket and hit Givins in the
end zone with just 1:54 gone ins
second half.
Givins started on the left side i
