Dorsett's broken alarm clock

[JoeZagorski]

Hey Guys:
Does anybody remember what year and for which game Dallas head coach Tom Landry benched star halfback Tony Dorsett because he overslept on the day before the game? I think it might have happened in 1978 or 1979, but I'm not sure. Thanks for helping me out.
Sincerely,
Joe Zagorski

It was the October 22, 1978 game against the Eagles, which the Boys won, 14-7. He finally got into the game with six minutes left in the second quarter, but then used sparingly in the second half.

Thanks BD!
