I C-12SportS THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Sunday, September 27, 1992 MO ocky UC easily topped, 40-0 1923 Lou Gehrig hit his first homer in the majors. It came off Bill Piercy of the Boston Red Sox. On the same date 15 years later, Gehrig hit his 493rd and last. It came off Dutch Leonard of the Senators. 1930 Hack Wilson hit two home runs for the Chicago Cubs, giving him a National League record of 56 for the season.

1935 The Chicago Cubs won their 21st consecutive game and clinched the National League pennant. 1 936 Walter Alston played in his only major league game as a late Inning substitute at first base for Johnny Mize of the St. Louis Cardinals. Alston, who went on to manage the Los Angeles Dodgers for 23 years, made one error in two chances and struck out in his only at-bat. 1973 The California Angels beat the Minnesota Twins 5-4 in 11 innings as Nolan Ryan struck out 16, including his 383rd strikeout of the season, a modern major league record.

BY TOM GROESCHEN The Cincinnati Enquirer KN0XVILLE, There's one silver lining in the 40-0 licking Cincinnati's Bearcats took against No. 8-ranked Tennessee on Saturday. UC (0-3) doesn't play another Top 25 opponent. And it won't have to face anything like the crowd of 96,597 it endured here.

It's small consolation, but it's all the Bearcats have. "I wouldn't say it gets easier now, but we definitely don't have to play any more Penn States and Tennessees," said UC quarterback Lance Harp. UC's next two opponents, Kent State (home) and Memphis State (away), have two victories between them (one each). "It's hard to tell where we are right now," said UC coach Tim Murphy. "We've played the No.

7, No. 8, and No. 9 teams in the country in three of our last four games." That's actually the No. 8 (Tennessee), then-No. 8 (Penn State, 24-20 loss in 1992 opener), and then-No.

13 (East Carolina, 30-19 loss in 1991 finale), but Murphy made his point. Sandwiched in there was a 17-14 loss to rival Miami University on Sept. 19. UC played Tennessee (4-0) toe-to-toe for one half, on a mild afternoon with intermittent rains. UT led only 14-0 at halftime, and total yardage was dead even (175-175) at that point.

But UC hurt itself with two first-half turnovers and also missed two field goals (one blocked) before halftime. "The difference of the 14-0 score was basically their turnovers," said UT coach Johnny Majors. "Cincinnati had a good game plan." The game plan was to run the ball with tailback David Small (92 yards) and pass out of play-action. But with UC's top receivers out (Marlon Pearce suspended, Damon Bryant injured), and a shuttling of quarterbacks Harp and Paul Anderson, the offense wasn't sharp. UC gained just 286 yards, with only 100 rushing.

Still, UC's total offense was 50 yards better than its average. Harp started, completing 12 of 22 passes for 118 yards and was sacked three times. Anderson was 4-of-10 for 38 yards and one interception. Murphy says there's a reason 4 it ti rTtL The Associated Press Vols co'ach Johnny Majors, right, is back on the job after bypass heart surgery and directed his team from the press box. 1 L.

Then, UT freshman Shawn Summers scored on a 77-yard punt return to make it 28-0 with 4:23 left in the third period. "We've showed we can compete with these teams, but we can't do it for 60 minutes," Murphy said. UC, buoyed by Brian Jenkins' 46-yard kickoff return to start the game, moved to UT's 26-yard line. But UC's Tom Zovko then missed a 43-yard field goal attempt. Tennessee then scored on its "You can't blame everything on one guy," said Clement.

"It wasn't all Neil's fault." Miami's secondary gave up two Mike Neu touchdown passes. A 9-yard pass to BSU tight end Dan Mawhorr capped an 11-play, 81-yard drive for the only scoring of the first half. After a Matt Swart 31-yard field goal with 8:50 left in the third quarter, Neu hit Brian Oliver with a 14-yard scoring strike over Mari-us Douglas with 4:22 left in the third quarter for a 17-0 lead. "They had some big plays that hurt us," said Miami middle linebacker Curt McMillan. "They outplayed us.

We got in a hole and couldn't get out of it." With 10:41 left, Chad Seitz got Miami on the scoreboard with a 33-yard field goal and, seven minutes later, Dougherty hit Lakumba Wallace with a 3-yard TD pass. But Poynton's high snap may have caused Seitz to miss a crucial extra point that would have cut the deficit to seven points with 3:57 remaining. It was the second PAT missed this season. Miami missed six PATs last year, none of them blocked. Fittingly, Dougherty was sacked in the end zone in the wanning seconds to account for the final two points.

Then came a fumbled UC punt that led to UT's second score (14-0). UC had a field goal blocked near the end of the first half. "You play these teams, it's a different breed of cat," Murphy said.

"If you screw up, they can put 40 up on you." UT won its 10th straight home game and welcomed Majors back from a three-game absence after Aug. 25 heart surgery. -oooo-o 7 7 14 12-40 Ten-Shuter 5 run (Becksvoort kick) Ten Stewart I run (Becksvoort kick) Ten-Fleming 15 pass trom Shuler (Becksvoort kick) Ten Summers 77 punt return (Becksvoort kick) Ten-Becksvoort 30 FG Ten Safety, center snap through end zone Ten Phillips 4 run (Becksvoort kick) Cin 20 37-100 186 38 7-37 4-2 3-40 30:47 Ten 16 45-209 147 131 14-23-0 7-42 2-0 3-20 29:13 First downs Rushes-yards Passing Return Yards Comp-AtHnt Fumbles-Lost Penalties-Yards Time of INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS RUSHING-Cincinnatl, Small 19-92, Abrams 1-5, Harp 6-minus-14, Britford 2-4, Kimbrough 4-35, Smith 1-6, Anderson 3-1.

Two plays later, Miami wideout Gordon Benning fumbled at his own 22, but the Redskin defense, led by a Jason Michelson sack, pushed the Cardinals out of scoring range. Croom, who rushed for 26 yards last year against Miami, had 99 yards on 19 attempts before intermission. The defenses each had four sacks. Miami plays at Eastern Michigan at 6 p.m. Saturday.

Tennesee took advantage as UC's defense began to tire. The Vols scored off a 15-yard TD pass from Heath Shuler to Cory Fleming to make it 21-0 with 9:12 left in the third quarter. ty was sacked eight times. Walker said Dougherty was partly responsible for "holding onto the ball too long." "We'll do better next week," Dougherty said. "I don't know what it was today.

When the team does well, the quarterback usually does well. When the team does poorly, the quarterback usually does bad." After BSU had taken a 7-0 lead, fumbles inside the Ball State 30 by tight end Tom Poynton and Dougherty stopped Miami drives late in the second quarter. Then, trailing, 17-0, MU tailback Deland McCullough hero of last week's victory against Cincinnati fumbled the ball at BSU's 17 in the second half. Teammates defended Dougherty from an avalanche of criticism. "It wasn't Neil's fault," Poynton said.

"It was our whole offense. Neil was on the ground a lot. We've got to give him more time; we've got to catch the ball, and we've got to quit putting the ball on the ground." Jim Clement, the former quarterback turned wide receiver, said he hasn't taken a snap under center in practice and doesn't think that's in Walker's plans, although the coach said the thought was under consideration. 10-game call that put Kentucky on the South Carolina 11.

Pelfrey, of Scott High School in Kenton County, added a field goal from 35 yards out with 52 seconds left for the final margin in a 12-play drive that took 5:08 off the clock. South Carolina, playing its first season in the SEC, had a chance to 4 a.m BY JACK MURRAY The Cincinnati Enquirer MUNCIE, The Miami Redskins took issue with billboards proclaiming: "It's Great to be in Muncie." Ball State led by all-league tailback Corey Croom's 242 yards rushing thumped the fumbling, bungling Redskins, 19-9, in a MidAmerican Conference game on a dreary, rainy Saturday. "Ball State took advantage of our errors and miscues," Miami coach Randy Walker said after Miami lost its MAC opener and fell to 1-2-1 overall.

"We turned the ball over and missed tackles. I was sure we were better than that." The Redskins lost four fumbles. "The good thing is we have seven more games to show improvement," Walker said. The Cardinals improved to 2-2 overall, 2-0 in the MAC. "It was an outstanding day and a great effort by our team," said Ball State coach Paul Schudel, a Miami graduate.

"I would like to have scored more points, but we were going against a good defense." Miami's offense, again, was ineffective until the fourth quarter, when it scored all nine of its points. MU quarterback Neil Dougher UK halts Wildcats rally to down Gamecocks THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LEXINGTON, Terry Samuels scored on a 2-yard run, and Doug Pelfrey kicked two field goals Saturday as Kentucky ended a 10-game losing streak in Southeastern Conference games by nipping South Carolina, 13-9.

Three plays later, Simpson shanked a punt out of bounds at the 38 that Kentucky turned into its final scoring drive. The game, played in light rainfall in the second half, was dominated by the defenses. South Carolina amassed only 215 total yards to Kentucky's 203.
