Cernak Quietly Proves Value of Passer Consistency
John Cernak recalls his decision to play at SIU C to chase a steady passing role and adapt to a veer era. He notes a 58 percent completion rate last year and ranks 10th on SIU C’s all time passing list with two seasons left. He contrasts drop-back style with veer demands and reflects on Woody Hayes era passing debates.

Dallas frets about Cards 34 defense
Dallas fears the St. Louis Cardinals 3-4 defense may force the Cowboys to gamble in the NFL opener. Roger Staubach noted the blitzing and stunts could complicate plays while injuries loom, including Tony Dorsett's toe injury. If Dorsett is unavailable, Preston Pearson or Ron Springs will handle the carries. Cliff Harris praised St. Louis offense as a challenge, predicting the Cardinals will be a factor all season in the race. A sellout crowd of 50,000 plus will witness the opener, the first Dallas–St. Louis clash since 1969.
