I sucl LbmmShmmJ Ree, JAY C T I L L E Y fact; rani As you may recall, a few Put weeks before the long- awaited Christmas break, I made a rather Mar bold statement that the Dallas add Cowboys would be the next fora National Football League Johi Champions after Super Bowl She XXVII. be Well, call me crazy, but the Dallas' young riders are still my P pick to replace the Washington fori Redskins on football's highest Co1 throne. aga First, there was a high noon she hanging against the Philadelphia aga Eagles, then the mine caved in 49e on the 49ers and now it's time to i lasso'the Buffalo Bills. 0ff< Now, I admit that I am a bit tou biased toward the Cowboys aoa because I have been an avid fan since the days when men such as Danny White, Ed "Too-Tall" ^ Jones, Randy White and Tony Dorsett roamed the field in silver and blue. Em Football fans on campus and ^ back at my home in Bristol, Va., ^ however, keep telling me, "No, p^ not yet, Jay. They are still a year or two away." But it's like Paul atla Zimmerman of Sports Illustrated , rc said, "I would rather be a year early than a year late," and I rlnn'i hrlipve I'm enrlv. althouch the Bills will be tough on the Cowboys in Pasadena on Jan. 31. a'? The Bills are a team that ^el scares me, although I believe that -,ay the Cowboys are one of the best 'nv teams in the league, along with wil the San Francisco 49ers. The Bills are worthy opponents for Bo the Cowboys, who have made a Suj record six appearances in the los Super Bowl. poi The Bills are hungry, healthy Da and, most importantly, angry. en< Buffalo does not want to make Bil NFL history by losing three ma Super Bowls in a row, and they AI certainly do not want to lose to a lea bunch of upstart youths. Plus, the Bills' defense is healthy. Bu unonnu * Durable Constructi IfelSfor years of use.

Newto espite all these staggering problt >, I believe the Cowboys top- progra red defense will be able to son's pressure on Kelly with guys be qui : Charles Haley, Russell Wit yland and Tony Casillas. In it is u ition, if the secondary per- a coa as the way they did against with a Taylor, Jerry Rice and Mike Comnr rrard, the results will prove to est *n more than adequate against recruil pass. lyis for the run, Thomas is a ^cc midable opponent, but the earlic ^vboys have been a force Cremi inst the run all year, and they Jarvis >wcased their dominance antonj inst Ricky Watters and the P?sttn r front line. recrui n addition, the Cowboy woui(] jnse will probably have a j gh time early in the game Carol inst the Bills' "Fearsome repla< irsome" of Bruce Smith, jjas y ne Conlan, Cornelius Bennett natioi Darryl Talley. ties t feel, however, that the once vboys' running attack, led by jng to mitt Smith, will eventually be jar e to wear down the Bills' has b it line as they did against San Atlan ncisco. The Cowboys* passing ence tck also isn't too shabby, as broug >y Aikman is coming off the ty p t game of his life against the TS. A vlichael Irvin should wreak ,'oc in the Bills' secondary ng with Alvin Harper ana g ^ Ivin Martin. The sure-handed Novachek will be very much olved in crucial situations, as TI 1 Darryl Johnston. and To sum up, I believe Super wari wl XXVII will be much like Aubi per Bowl XXV, when the Bills blew t to the New York Giants by a 145int. In the end, the youth of lias will overcome the experi:e and determination of the lis. If this occurs, Bills fans IUiM ty want to push to make the H||g| 7C and NFC two separate M| gues again.
