The cowboys qualified for their first super bowl in 14 years sunday with a 3020 Victory Over san Francisco the team that dominated the�?T80s. Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith led two perfect second half drives after the teams were tied 1010 at halftime of the pfc title game. A i done to mean to put a Damper on it but you do understand we have one game pfc final left to play a Johnson said in a Brief pos game speech to his players. A fantastic fantastic fantastic a that put Dallas 1-15 just three years ago into the super bowl in two weeks against Buffalo which beat Miami 2910 to win the acc  was a fitting site to do it. Dallas slide from top to Bottom began 11 years ago at candlestick when Dwight Clark made Quot the catch that put the 49ers in the first of the four super bowls they won that decade. It will be the fifth super bowl appear Ance for Dallas but its first since 1978, when it lost 35-31 to Pittsburgh third of the Steeles four super bowl wins. It was that record four super bowl victories that the liners had hoped to break in Pasadena this year # but they wont get there thanks in Large part to Aikman Smith and the two Long drives with a san Francisco Field goal sandwiched in Between. A those drives broke open a game that was played with few mishaps despite in  rain and a Field soaked by two weeks of downpours. It was the More experienced 49ers who made the mistakes a two fumbles that led to All 10 Dallas Points in the first half. The first drive came after the second half Kickoff a 78 Yards in 8 plays feature ing a 38-Yard pass from Aikman to Alvin Harper. The 6-foot-4 Harper beat 511 Cor Norback Eric Davis on the play. Daryl Johnston capped that one with a 3-Yard run for a to As the san Francisco defense broke offside then stood around As Johnston bulled up the Middle. Mike Cofer a 42-Yard Field goal Cut it to 17-10 but typically for this Day it came after coach George Seifert elected to kick rather than go for it on fourth-and-2 from the 24. Then came the second drive 9 minutes san Francisco quarterback Steve Young 8 dives in from the i for a first Quarter to to give the 49ers a 7-3 Lead. Of perfection in which the cowboys converted four third Downs in four attempts including the to a 16-Yard toss from Aikman to Smith who also scored on a 4-Yard run in the second Quarter and rushed for 114 Yards in 24 carries. The liners Cut it to 2420 with a 5-Yard pass from Steve Young to Jerry Rice with 4 22 left. It came at the end of a 93-Yard drive after the liners had stopped the cowboys on a fourth and one at their six. But Aikman who completed 24 of 34 attempts for 322 Yards and Harper combined on a 70-Yard completion on the first play after the Kickoff. Three plays later Aikman hit Kelvin Martin for the 6-Yard to that made it 30-20 and put the game away. It was a surprising end to a surprising Day. For the first time since the first super bowl in 1966, the visiting teams won both conference title games. Early on it did no to look like that would happen san Francisco had its chances in the first half and appeared at several Points ready to break open the game. Its defense sacked Aikman four times and its offence seemed to operate in the same machine like Way under Steve Young As it did under Joe Montana. But it was just 10-10 at Hatime because of two san Francisco fumbles and some crucial penalties. The liners had a touchdown called Back on their first Possession a a 63-Yard by a holding Call on Guy Mcintyre. Strike from Young to Jerry Rice negated. G a 1 ept second half by Ken Norton and James 7� Oung was 25 of 35 for 313 Yards although. He was intercepted twice in the Washington As the liners desperately tried to come Back. San Francisco made another mistake a few minutes later when Michael Magruder fumbled a Mike Saxon punt at his own 22 and Johnston recovered for the  was a sign of things to  youngsters just went out and executed Nyji Moltke san Francisco apr they did no to care about the mud or the rain about history or destiny symmetry or ceremony the Young never do on this sunday this Youthful edition of the cowboys cared Only about one thing which might have been their saving Grace. Everybody expected them to feel overwhelmed. Underwhelmed it turned out would have been More to the Point. A this was just another Road game a said Ken Norton Norton Dallas Brash 26-year-old linebacker without any embarrassment. A everybody talked about the slush the mud and everything. A but it did no to matter Quot Norton said. A we just went out and  of course the cowboys convincing 3020 decision Over san Francisco was considerably bore than just another Road game. But it was left to the clubs elders to try and restore some sense of perspective to the win. And so As he clutched the pfc championship trophy close to his Chest in the Madhouse that was the visiting locker room at candlestick Dallas owner Jerry Jones tried to do just that. A we have such respect for the 49ers and its great that we re being compared to them a Jones said. A it s great to have won the title Here on their Field in san Francisco. A but wed like to have our own  in this same treacherous bog of a stadium in the same wet unpredictable weather at the same juncture of the postseason 11 years ago these two teams met and were separated by a the  they left candlestick that afternoon headed in drastically different directions and in that sense the Only thing different this time was who was headed where. Four super bowls later the san fran Cisco 49ers Are probably headed for trouble for an of season of Finger pointing second guessing and probably a very Messy quarterback controversy that will pit Steve Young unquestionably the Best quarterback in the nil this season against Joe Montana arguably the Best of All time. A the Bottom line is everybody had to take responsibility for a Job a 49er linebacker Bill Romanowski said. A but when it came time to get it done we did no to do it Quot. The cowboys did with a pair of flawless drives in the second half and Are headed for Pasadena for their sixth appearance in the super bowl and their first since 1978. Even those bits of history however failed to make much of an impression on the youngsters that Jones shrewdly accumulated through the draft the waiver wire the plan b list free Agency and other teams Scrapheap then turned Over to coach Jimmy Johnson. Of much greater relevance to this Dallas Bunch most of whom were teen agers when Dwight Clarks late touchdown catch settled the 1982 pfc championship in san Francisco a favor was the 1-15 season they had suffered through in 1989. A we had a fantastic Effort but not just today not this week but from the very Start four years ago when we were at Rock Bottom a Johnson said it should come As no Surprise that this Cowboy unit is the a Fly a cock est Bunch if Only because it is also the youngest and swiftest. And Given the Speed with which they clawed their Way to the top it Only figured that history would hold no Sway on them they said As much immediately after dispatching Philadelphia last sunday to set up this game Ana they repeated it any number of times during the week. Taking into account the tone of the Man who leads them expect More of the same in two weeks. A a a getting to the super bowl is great a Johnson said a but the Only Way to achieve total satisfaction in this business is to win
