THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
IRVING, Texas — Emmitt Smith was all
smiles. Fans were cheering his every move
flashbulbs were popping. He looked
around happily, savoring his return to Texas
Stadium just like he’d hoped. Everything was
going his way.
Then the game began. And nothing went
right again.
Smith lost 4 yards on his first carry and fin
ed with minus-1, the worst outing of his
career. He was pounded nearly every time he
gotihe ball and was knocked out early in the
second quarter with a sprained left shoulder.
He spent the rest of Sunday’s game in the
locker room, his arm in a siing, as his former
teammates on the Dallas Cowboys polished
off a 24-7 victory over his new teammates on
the Arizona Cardinals.
“Every player wants to
jlay four quarters, play his
best and do everything pos
sible to help his team win,”
Smith said. “1 wasn’t able
to do that today.”
Quincy Carter threw for
277 yards and two touch
downs and the defense
allowed just 151 yards and
provided two safeties in a four-play span in the
third quarter as Bill Parcells earned his first
home win as coach of the Cowboys.
Dallas (3-1) already was up by a touch
down when Smith went out, then pulled away
for its first three-game winning streak since
opening 1999 at 3-0.
“This game was nothing personal to
Emmitt,’’ said safety Darren Woodson, who
spent 11 years playing with Smith. “It was
about beating the Cardinals.”
Smith, the NFL’s career leading rusher,
usually performs his best in big games, and no
game this season will be bigger to him than
this one.
Thousands of fans wore blue No. 22 jer
seys, and even a few red ones. There were
many welcome back signs, including a huge
one that read “Once A Cowboy, Always A
Cowboy” next to the Cardinals’ tunnel. None
poked fun at his statement that he felt like a
“diamondsurrounded by trash” during his last
season in Dallas.
ffe m applauded from the moment he
stepped onto the field, even sharing a brief hug
witli Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who wished
liimgood luck.
Smith took part in the coin toss, then
returned to the bench giddy over winning it.
Cameras clicked as he swapped a ballcap for
Ills helmet, pulled up his red socks, looked
around proudly and got in place to watch the
opening kickoff.
His fun ended on the first play. La’Roi
Glover blew through blockers and wrapped up
Smith 4 yards behind the line.
With six carries for minus-1 yard and two
catches for 2 yards. Smith had the least-pro
ductive of his 206 career games, 201 of which
were for Dallas.
He had only 25 yards on 12 carries his pre
vious game and has just 192 yards through five
games with Arizona (1 -4).
Smith lost yards on four of his eight touch
es and had no gain twice. His best effort was 6
yards on a third-and-8 swing pass.
The Cowboys usually didn’t just tackle
him. They tried humiliating him, too.
Dat Nguyen swiped his arms to gesture an
emphatic, “No!” after a 1-yard loss. Fomier
dominoes mate Willie Blade stood over Smith
in a Muhammad Ali-type taunt after Smith fell
and lost 4 yards on a screen.
On his final play, Smith went between the
guard and tackle on the left side. Williams
arrived in the hole when Smith did.
“I gave him a little love tap,” Williams
said, smiling. “Seriously, I hope he’s all
right.”
The Cowboys insisted they weren't trying
to prove a point or get back at Smith for the
trash quote.
“We didn’t want to get embarrassed by
him,” Nguyen said. “He knows our defense
inside and out.”
Smith's exit ended the most ballyhooed
return of an ex-Cowboy since Jimmy Johnson
came in as coach of the Miami Dolphins on
Thanksgiving 1999. Still, fans had plenty to
cheer.
Carter, who lost his job after an awful per-
formance against Arizona last season, opened
Dallas’ second drive with a 51-yard touch
down pass to Terry Glenn on a perfectly exe
cuted flea flicker. Carter followed with an 18-
yard TD pass to Richie Anderson, and finished
20-of-31.
Billy Cundiff sandwiched two field goals
around halftime, then the Cowboys sacked Jeff
Blake in the end zone on consecutive posses
sions. Both were set up by pinpoint punts, with
Arizona’s rookie sensation Anquan Boldin
making the mistake of calling for a fair catch
at the 4 before the first.
Blake was 14-of-28 for 121 yards, two
interceptions and a 24-yard touchdown to
Brian Gilmore that made it 7-7.
Smith said the trip to Dallas wasn’t a total
loss. He got to see one of his daughters play
soccer Saturday.
“The experience in itself was every
thing,” Smith said. “Just coming back here
and seeing Texas Stadium and having a
chance to play here in front of the Cowboys
fans, it was wonderful.
“It will go down as one of the unique expe
riences I’ve ever experienced.”
Continued from page 7
will be jacked up after a big win against
Colorado,” Appel said.
That could be the biggest understate
ment of the year.
Baylor didn’t just win Saturday; it
whipped the Buffaloes, and unless they
get it together this week, the Aggies could
be next.
A&M coach Dennis Franchione told
reporters after the game that he expects to
learn a lot about the team this week
as well.
“It’s key in a lot of ways,” he said.
“It’s certainly a key for us right now to
see how we’re going to respond and who
our leaders are and how they step up, how
we move forward, how we build on it,
how we learn from it.”
It will be interesting.
After the Aggies endured the “Air
Raid” Saturday night in Lubbock they
have two choices: They can sink like the
Arizona did in a matter of minutes, or
they can bounce back and try to regain
some respect.
Despite promises for the future of
Aggie football, many fans are ready for
the sun to rise on the “Dawn of a New
Era.”
If the Aggies lose to Baylor this week
end, Franchione’s honeymoon in
Aggieland could come crashing down.
SPORTS IN BRIEF
ESPN pregame show
offers apology for
remarks minus Limbaugh
NEW YORK (AP) — ESPN’s NFL
pregame show returned Sunday with an
apology — and without Rush Limbaugh
— a week after the commentator’s race-
tinged comments about Eagles quarter
back Donovan McNabb.
Panelists Chris Berman, Tom
Jackson, Steve Young and Michael Irvin
took criticism from the media, as well
as McNabb, for not responding when
Limbaugh suggested on the Sept. 28
“Sunday NFL Countdown” show that
McNabb was overrated because the
media wants to see a black quarter
back succeed.
“Do I wish that I had caught it in hind
sight? Absolutely,” Jackson said
Sunday. “Do I regret that I didn’t? Yes.
But I’m human. Mostly, I regret that I
missed it for Donovan McNabb’s sake. I
regret that.”
Limbaugh resigned from the show
Wednesday, and later said he was leav
ing so the sports network’s employees
would be spared the uproar over his
remarks. He denied that his comments
were racially motivated.
