Page 12 The Battalion Monday, September 18,1| Me Cowboys (Continued from page 11) half was a 38-yard field goal by Paul McFadden. The Falcons got in posi tion for the kick when Ron Francis was called for interference, resulting in a 33-yard penalty to the Dallas 21. Miller’s passing overshadowed an outstanding effort by Troy Aikman, the $11 million Dallas rookie who hit on 13 of 23 passes for 241 yards, in cluding a touchdown pass to Michael Irvin that covered 65 yards on the third play of the game. Aikman also had two intercep tions — one by Scott Case, who re turned it 13 yards to the Atlanta 34 to stop a Dallas drive that reached the Falcons’ 43 just after Atlanta had taken the lead. The other came with only one sec ond left in the game, a 58-yard bomb into a group of seven receivers and defenders. It was pulled down by At lanta rookie Deion Sanders, allowing the Falcons to run out the clock. “The interception hurt us,” Aik man said of the one by Case. “It stopped our drive. We had to over come that, and we didn’t.” Bobby Butler scored Atlanta’s other touchdown on a 29-yard re turn of a Walker fumble in the first quarter. McFadden also kicked a 28- yard field goal in the second period. It was after Butler’s touchdown that Walker went to work. He caught a short pass from Aikman and raced 52 yards to the Atlanta 29, setting up his first touchdown. Miller said Falcons coach Marion LOOK-S LIKE HE'S O.K.,NOvJ... HE'S BACK ON THE MAROON 0R/CK ROAD/ Campbell “really put it to us” during halftime, telling the team it had bet ter get going or they’d be 0-2. iviously “Obviously we didn’t want to be down 21-10, but I was confident,” Miller said. “We were moving the ball in the first half.” Butler said Miller’s second half made it easy on the defense. “We just sat on the sidelines most of the time and enjoyed the game,” Butler said. “When the defense sees the of fense do that, it makes our defense a f reat one,” Case said. “That’s the ey.” wtm Oilers (Continued from page 11) was touched early.” Houston, now 1-1, covered the re kick and ran out the clock. “We’re just thankful that onside kick was called back,” Moon said. “If it hadn’t been called back, we’d probably still be out there. “McMahon did well. They’re a young, aggressive team, but they made five turnovers and their mis takes hurt them,” added Moon, who finished 21-for-35 for 235 yards. The home-opening loss left new Chargers coach Dan Henning still seeking his first win as the Chargers fell to 0-2. “We have five turnovers and they had none and we had more penalties than they did,” Henning said. “You don’t win a lot of games under those conditions. We have to go back and work on those things to make sure they don’t kill us.” San Diego was penalized 117 yards on 13 penalties while Houston drew eight penalties for 70 yards. The fourth San Diego turnover allowed Houston to extend its lead to 27-14, as Moon threw his second touchdown pass, a 5-yarder to Drew Hill, with 3:39 gone in the third quarter. Alonzo Highsmith’s 16-yard touchdown run with 16 seconds left in the third period came after Mc Mahon suffered his third intercep tion. Linebacker Robert Lyles re turned the interception 18 yards to the Chargers’ 30. Two plays later, Highsmith gave the Oilers a 34-14 lead. Marion Butts scored on a pair of 1-yard runs for San Diego, including a fourth-quarter touchdown that stopped a 31-point Houston scoring string. But he also commited a key fum ble, losing the ball on the Chargers’ opening second-half possession. Houston’s A1 Smith recovered at the Chargers’ 35, and Moon connected with Hill six plays later. Moon and Ernest Givens earlier teamed up on a 14-yard scoring pass to cap an eight-play, 68-yard drive in the second quarter. The Oilers capitalized on two of three San Diego turnovers in the first half to take a 20-14 halftime lead. Overzealous defensive play by Houston and a blocked punt helped “ ha" Back sets new record with 426-yard game EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Andre Ses sion already has written his name in the state record books by rushing for 426 yards in the second game of the season. However, that performance still only ranks the El Paso Jefferson standout as the second best running back his coach has ever had. San Diego’s first half produced scores. Miller caught a 63-yard touch down pass from McMahon after a first-quarter drive was kept alive by an unnecessary roughness call on defensive back Cris Dishman. “Right now, the best running back I’ve ever had was Steven Lee,” Car los Lowenberg said Saturday, one day after his junior tailback lead El Paso Jefferson to a 58-28 win over El Paso Del Valle. “This kid may be a little faster and he’s bigger and stronger, but he doesn’t have all of the little moves that Lee had. But he will have them.” What Session does have is the Class 5A record Lee set in 1985 by rushing for 422 yards. Ironically, Lee, who played at El Paso Austin, set his record against El Paso Jeffer son. Lowenberg was Lee’s coach in 1985. Before the season. Session said he wanted to average about 250 yards and help Jefferson make it to the playoffs for the first time in the school’s 40- i year history. After two games, the six-foot, 173-pound halfback is averaging 341 yards and five touchdowns. In his record-setting game, Session’s 21 carries included scoring runs of 16, 13, 77, 87 and 85 yards. He left the game with about nine minutes left in the fourth quarter. Session rushed for 256 yards and five touchdowns in Jefferson’s sea son opener. Lowenberg and Session said Fri day night’s final statistics were sur prising. “He only had 126 yards in the first half but we noticed some glitches in their defense, so we made some ad justments at halftime,” Lowentx said. “I thought that record [ been broken but somebody I last night that it hadn’t and this# new one, so this is great.” Session said: “I wasn’t expect that much. And during the [ didn’t think I had that much,l had confidence in my line to pul through. I thought I had around 300a end of the game.” Session’s 682 total yards have ! ready surpassed his 1988 rushing ■“ tal of about 400 yards, said Low berg, who has coached high i football for 25 years.
