7 won't take any pain killers'
Johnson lays Cowboy's hopes on Emmitt
The Associated Press
IRVING — Dallas coach Jim
my Johnson leaves no doubt about
Emmitt Smith's role in Sunday's
NFC championship game against
the San Francisco 49ers. He will
play all day.
"Emmitt will play and he
won't have shoulder problems,"
Johnson said on Tuesday. "I have
pronounced him healthy."
The NFL's leading rusher rein
jured his shoulder in Sunday's 27-
17 divisional victory over the
Green Bay Packers.
Smith is receiving around-the-
clock care to reduce the soreness
in the shoulder he originally sepa
rated in the last game of the sea
son against the New York Giants.
"I don't think Emmitt will be
hesitant at all," Johnson said.
"He'll be raring to go."
The Cowboys aren't the same
team without Smith. They lost
their first two games without him
during a contract holdout.
"We rely heavily on Emmitt,"
Johnson said.
Smith hurt liis shoulder against
the Packers trying to block and
Johnson held him out most of the
second half.
"If I thought we needed him he
would have been back in there,"
Johnson said. "His big problem is
pass protection. "
Smith said he won't hold back
against the 49ers.
"I did feel a little out of synch
against the Packers," Smith said.
"I had some problems holding the
ball. I won't take any pain killers.
"I have the fear of hurting my
shoulder and not realizing it's
hurt. It's getting better every day.
I'll be ready on Sunday."
The Cowboys are 5 1/2-point
favorites and Johnson is acting as
if it's the game to decide the even
tual Super Bowl champion.
"The most significant game we
had last year was the win at Can
dlestick," Johnson said. "Nothing
against Buffalo, but we felt if we
won that game we would have
success in the Super Bowl.
"San Francisco is on par with
last year. The 49ers showed
against the Giants they can play
with anybody."
Johnson held a team meeting
and told them he wanted to see
some selfishness.
"There is a lot of rewards to be
gained from this game and I told
the team there will be a lot of peo
ple pulling at them," Johnson
said.
"I told them it would be to
their benefit to be as selfish as
they can be. It's the best way to

The NFL's leading rusher, Cowboy's running back Emmitt Smith, is

NFC championship game at Texas stadium.
get focused."
Johnson said this Super Bowl
run has been a "harder year" than
the one last year that ended up
with a 52-17 Cowboys victory
over Buffalo.
"This year has been more diffi
cult and less fun," Johnson said.
"We still have the same attitude.
We can accomplish something no
body thought we could.
"When we were 0-2 without
Emmitt and Troy Aikman had an
injury, we kept hearing we had a
Super Bowl hangover, that we
were going to fall on our face.
"But we were stubborn."
Georgia
Continued from Page 5
at Georgia, the Bulldog offense
was nationally ranked 27th in
scoring and 34th in total offense.
Those numbers improved in
1992, when Georgia was 9th in to
tal offense with 450.36 yards per
game and 10th in scoring offense
with 32 points per game.
In 1993, the Bulldogs ranked
8th in passing offense averaging
322.9 yards per game and 19th in
total offense averaging 430.3
yards per game.
Ensminger also coached quar
terback Eric Zeier during this past
season. In 1993, Zeier was 269-of-
425 for 3,525 yards with 24 touch
downs and only seven intercep
tions.
The Georgia quarterback cur
rently holds 61 school and 11
Southeastern Conference passing
records.
Ensminger started his football
career as a quarterback at Central
High School in Baton Rouge, La.
He played in college for Louisiana
State University, where he still
holds records for the longest pass
(82 yards vs. Georgia in 1978) and
most touchdowns in a game (four
vs. Rice in 1977).
Ensminger ranks fifth on LSU's
passing list with 2,770 yards and
was named their most valuable
offensive player in 1979.
Montana
Continued from Page 5
He started his coaching career
at Nicholls State in 1981, but he
moved to McNeese State,
Slocum's alma mater, in 1983 and
stayed there until 1986.
After McNeese, Ensminger
moved to Louisiana Tech where
he stayed from 1987-1990.

Williams proved to be a hero when he said that
forced with a similar situation, he would do the
sports teams. I could care less about some darn
horse track.
Family was the big thing in our conversation
and thoughts.
. "Have you called home? The epicenter wasn't
that close to your house, was it?," we anxiously
asked each other, hoping our houses were far way
from the center of the quake. "Are you sure your
family Is fine?"
Family. Yes, we were worried about our fami
lies, not some stupid sporting venue.
My dear Cowboys will more than likely beat the
49ers Sunday, but if they don't. I'll realize that in
the spectrum of life there are much more important
things than football, basketball or any other sport.
Sporting events can be rescheduled, lives can
not. So what if the spOilers always lose. For the
people who lost their lives because of the earth
quake, there will not be a next season.
SpOiler offensive lineman David Williams put
football in perspective earlier in the year when he
chose to stay at his wife's side to see the birth of
his child while his teammates played in New Eng
land.
The spOilers' management fined him, but
The biggest loss this year for the spOilers was
not the one that happened last Sunday. Jeff Aim's
suicide was a much bigger defeat.
For some of us in society, sports are used as a
diversion from the disasters in life. We let sports
entertain and make us laugh.
The 'Boys and the spOilers have been good at
that this year.
The spOilers allowed us to laugh at the Buddy
"will-never-be-a-head-coach-again" Ryan punch
ing show. Where else did we see an assistant
coach stupid enough to punch another one?
If Houstonians did not have the Rockets, I
would probably feel sorry for them. Hakeem Ola-
juwon and the gang will bring the only champi
onship rings the Bayou city will see until the next
millennium.
The sucking sound of people headed down In
terstate 35 to Dallas can be heard from miles away.
On a much better note, Emmitt Smith, Troy Aik
man, Michael Irvin and the rest of the 'Boys have
already been fitted for their second straight Super
Bowl rings.
The 'Boys have been able to provide Texas and
the rest of the country with enough smiles to last a
lifetime.
quarter — but the second was set
up by Derrick Thomas' sack that
forced a Warren Moon fumble at
the Houston 12.
Still, Montana threw for 299
yards, his high as a Chief, and
would have had more if he hadn't
had some drops in the first half.
Kelly also had his best game
this season for the Bills on Satur
day, 27 of 37 for 287 yards.
This one probably comes down
to turnovers. The Chiefs got four
on Sunday against the Oilers in
their best defensive performance
of the seasons since . Nov. 28,
when they beat Buffalo and inter
cepted Kelly three times.
San Francisco (11-6) at Dallas
(13-4): ' r 1L'
A rematch of last season's NfC
title game, won by the Cowboys
in San Francisco 30-20.
The teams also met Oct. 17 in
Dallas and the Cowboys won 26-
17, but it was a one-point game
until Marc Logan fumbled just as
the Niners seemed poised to take
the lead. Tom Rathman, whom
Logan was replacing, is now back
at fullback.
Intensity is what the 49ers had
against the Giants. After losing
three of their last four games -
all the losses were essentially
meaningless — the Niners blew
New York out of Candlestick 44-
3.
This came after two weeks of
uncharacteristic tirades by the
usually soft-spoken George
Seifert, and it worked. The Nin
ers, considered a laid-back team
even in their best years, played
with a ferocity they had normally
disdained.
