ed the Oiler lead to 13-10.
But the Oilers didn’t fold.
Rob Carpenter ran four yards
with 2:10 to play to boost the
lead to 20-10 for what proved to
be the winning margin.
Pittsburgh quarterback
Terry Bradshaw whipped the
Steelers to the game’s final
touchdown with a 34-yard
bomb to John Stallworth with
1:18 left in the game. But the
Steelers tried an on-sides kick
that found its way to Oiler
tight end Mike Barber.
"They took that damn foot-
ball and ran it down our
throats for five minutes and
scored a touchdown,” Steeler
defensive tackle Joe Greene
of Carpenter’s
touchdown. “That was as
disappointing as anything that
happened and they did it the
way they weren’t supposed
to.”
The Oilers weren’t supposed
to be able to run on the
Steelers but that’s where Oiler
running back Earl Campbell
came into the picture with 109
yards on 33 carries, his first
100-yard performance ever
against the Steelers.

who topped all scorers with 16,
led the Lion's final surge with
six points. Bustos, who led his
team with 14, also had six in
the final stanza.
Bill Boy Bryant was also in ’

Lions leading rebounder with

In the junior varsity contest,
the Lions outscored the
Cougars 14-2 in the second

Everett played his starters
only sparinly during the final
half which allowed the spirited
Cougars to cut the margin to

Bradshaw took the blame
for the loss. “I haven’t been
playing as well in the big
games as I should,” he said.
Bradshaw was intercepted
twice by the Oilers. Art Str-
inger returned the first theft
21 yards in the second quarter
and linebacker Robert
Brazile’s 26 yard return in the
second quarter set up
Houston’s first touchdown.
It was suggested to Brazile
that Bradshaw, recovering
from a sprained wrist, was not
throwing as well as usual.
Houston Oilers, following sage
advice, declined to spit into
the wind or step on Super-

Having come within one se-
cond of defeating the world
champion Pittsburgh Steelers,
Oiler quarterback Dan

line and the Oilers trotted into

’Classy’ Houston settles
for 20-17 win over Steelers
HOUSTON (AP) — The the Steelers noses in the end around play that narrow- brought w
Astroturf.
“Pittsburgh is too good a
team to rub their noses in a
loss,” Oiler Coach Bum
Phillips said. •
“If the touchdown would
have made a difference in the
division championship, we
could have scored,” Pastorini
said. “We weren’t trying to
rub their faces in it."
The Oilers had accomplish-
ed their goal. They kept the
Steelers from clinching their
sixth straight American Foot-
ball Conference Central Divi-
sion championship and kept
alive their own chances of
claiming a title for the first
time since 1967.
“After the way we lost to • said
them the first time we played
this year we had to be a little
psyched up,” Pastorini said.
“So we just went out and got a
little sweet revenge.”
The Oilers, who lost to the
Steelers 34-5 in last season’s
AFC championship game and
38-7 in their first meeting this
season, clearly were ready for
the challenge this game.
Houston held the Steelers to
four first downs and took a 7-0
halftime lead on a 25-yard
pass from pastorini to Ken
Burrough. They went ahead
13-3 on field goals of 24 yards
and 34 yards by Toni Fritsch
in the third and fourth
quarters.
The record crowd of 55,293
in the Astrodome and a na-
tional television audience kept
waiting for the sleeping giant
Steelers to wake up and they
