Still, he would do it again. The Dallas safety said Monday that his revenge hit on San Francisco’s Terrell Owens was not only about the 49ers receiver’s second touchdown celebration at midfield, but also a cul mination of what has been a frustrat ing season for the Cowboys (1-3). “No matter how negative this is, the game and the action that hap pened, it all comes from having pride and getting our butts kicked over and over,’’ Teague said. “I think it will help us in the long run to be able to not feel that way and not want to feel that way anymore.” Owens was suspended for one game and fined a week’s salary by 49ers coach Steve Mariucci on Mon day. Teague had not received any disciplinary action as of Monday, al though he assumed a fine would be forthcoming from the NFL. After both of his TD catches Sun day in the 49ers’ 41 -24 victory, Owens celebrated on the Cowboys’ star logo in the middle of Texas Stadium. Emmitt Smith responded to Owens' first outburst with his own midfield celebration, running to the logo with his helmet off and slam ming the ball down in the middle of the star after his 1-yard TD run just before halftime. After Owens’ second TD catch, with 4:05 left, he again sprinted to Dal it I like people that are willing to fight for their ter ritory.

Teague, who said the move was instinctive and not premeditated, was immediately ejected from the game. Cowboys coach Dave Campo stopped short of publicly approving what Teague did. “I like people that arewi fight for their territory,” Cam* Monday.

Even after a 48-0 win over Houston, Mitchell and the No. 13 Texas Longhorns (2-1) find themselves in the un usual situation of trying to stay positive in the face of ques tions about a struggling offense. After two seasons with a Heisman Trophy winner and one of the country’s best overall attacks, the Longhorns have seemed downright sluggish with the ball lately. The running game ranks near the bottom of the NCAA and the offense has not scored in the first quarter for six straight games. "We know we had some bad games, but we know we can produce in tough situations,” Mitchell said Monday. “Last year the running game didn't open until the fourth game. I think that’s what is going to happen this year.” Some of the numbers are solid enough — even stellar — to suggest that everything is fine. The Longhorns rank fourth nationally, passing the ball with 366.5 yards per game and eighth in scoring with 41.33 points per.t Major Applewhite has six touchdown passes alter So what is to complain about? For starters, the rushing game is ranked 106th f* 114 Division I-A teams. And the slow starts tire frustrating. Against Hoik ic Longhorns offense managed just one yard in the firs# ter.
