BY TIMOTHY W.

SMITH The Cincinnati Enquirer COLUMBUS, Ohio Ohio State pulled a script from the Miami Hurricanes' serial, scoring two touchdowns and a safety in the final 4:29 to upset No. 7-ranked LSU 36-33 Saturday at Ohio Stadium before 90,584. The Hurricanes scored 17 points in the final five minutes last week to come back and defeat Michigan, 31-30. OSU proved such heroics are possible in the Big 10. Two fans suffered heart attacks in the stands near the conclusion of the game and another passed out and was taken from the stands on a stretcher.

Many of the fans left after LSU went up, 33-20, but Cooper wasn't about to concede defeat yet. There was still plenty of football left to play. "I'm telling our offensive team that we've got the ball and 4:30 to play and two time outs," Cooper said. "Hey, Miami came back last week, so why can't we. I told our coaches let's take the ball and score." Everyone within earshot of Cooper heeded his advice.

Tailback Carlos Snow, who gained 91 yards on 21 carries for two touchdowns, returned three kickoffs for 95 yards and caught four passes for 41 yards, set up the theatrics with a five-yard touchdown run with 1:56 to go to bring OSU to within a touchdown. But if Snow was the straw that stirred the drink, sophomore flanker Bobby Olive was the victory quencher. It was his diving 20-yard touchdown reception with 38 seconds to play that capped Ohio State's improbable come back victory. "I heard the crowd roaring and I thought I was dreaming," Olive said. "Then, I just did my little dance move and thanked God that I had caught it." Saturday afternoon, Ohio State looked nothing like the team that Pitt dragged up and down the field a week ago.

The Buckeyes pushed their record to 2-1 heading into the Big 10 opener against Illinois next week. "One week you're drinking the win," Cooper said. "The next week you're picking the grapes." Ohio State rolled up 374 yards total offense. Quarterback Greg Frey of St. Xavier had his best day yet, completing 24-of-37 for 281 yards and one touchdown.

But the The Associated Press punt blocked, LSU coach Mike Archer had punter Rene Bourgeois run out of the end zone for the safety, making it 33-29 LSU. Olive took the LSU free kick at the OSU 32 and ran it down to the LSU 38 where he went out of bounds with 1:24 to play. Four plays later he was rolling on his belly in the end zone with a touchdown pass that made Ohio State look like the Miami Hurricanes.

LSU quarterback Tom Hodson was 20-of-40 for 299 yards and two touchdowns. It was not enough to tempt the fates. Snow, who played the entire game, said there was a different emotion at work Saturday. "After what happened last week, we were too embarrassed to lose," Snow said. "We didn't want to lose.

Nobody was giving up on this one." Especially Olive who did a complete turnaround from start to finish Saturday afternoon. He fumbled the first punt return of the day, setting up LSU's first field goal of the game. "I would have hated to lose the game by having dropped that punt," Olive said. "I'm glad I was able to have another opportunity to score." Olive of Douglass High in Atlanta was a walk-on last year and wasn't put on scholarship until before the season opener against Syracuse. He got the start in place of Everette Ross, who was academically ineligible this season.

He earned his scholarship Saturday afternoon. There was no need for Olive's heroics until the middle of the fourth quarter. Ohio State held a 17-13 lead until midway through the third quarter, when LSU went up with a three-yard touchdown run by tailback Eddie Fuller. The Tigers padded their lead with two field goals by kicker David Browndyke. LSU seemingly put the game out of hand with a crazy 44-yard touchdown pass that resembled a tip drill.

The ball bounced off the hands of flanker Tony Moss and into the air at the OSU 40. Split end Alvin Lee caught it at the 32 and raced to the endzone for the score. LSU went up 33-20 on the Buckeyes with 4:29 to play. The stands started to clear out. "I looked up and there must have only been about 20,000 people in the stands," Cooper said.

"I couldn't believe it. The game wasn't over. We weren't going to give up. We had the ball, 4:30 and two time outs left." Quarterback Greg Frey of St. Xavier, who had his best day ever as a starter for OSU (24-of-37 for 281 yards), put together a 10-play, 59-yard drive in 2:28 which was capped by Snow's five-yard touchdown run.

And Ohio State was back in business. The Buckeyes' defense held LSU at its 13 yard line. With 1:34 to play, rather than risk having a THE ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES Tailback Aaron Emanuel scored twice, quarterback Rodney Peete became Southern Cal's total offense leader and the fifth-ranked Trojans capitalized on three early Oklahoma turnovers to beat the third-ranked Sooners, 23-7, Saturday. Peete's Oklahoma counterpart, Jamelle Holieway, a native of Southern California, lost the ball three times, helping the Trojans to a 20-0 halftime lead. "They shut us down all around," said Holieway.

"I was very surprised." Charles Thompson, Holieway's backup, didn't fare much better. He was intercepted twice by Chris Hale and once by Cleveland Colter late in the game. Hale's second interception, which he returned 44 yards, set up Quin Rodriguez's third field goal, from 25 yards. Peete, who holds 13 school records, gained 238 total yards to push his career total to 6,462, surpassing Charles White's mark of 6,240 from 1976-79. Peete completed 16 of 34 passes for 198 yards with one interception, and rushed for 40 yards.

"This was a great, great victory and a lot of fun," Peete said. "To see our line come off the ball like it did, and our backs run up there and the receivers catch the ball like they did it's fun when you beat a great team like Oklahoma." Southern Cal, 3-0, leads the series against the Sooners 4-2-1. Oklahoma fell to 2-1, losing in the regular season for the first time since Miami of Florida beat she Sooners 28-16 in the third game of the 1986 season. ,0 0 7 0- Southern Cal ,7 13 0 3- USC Emanuel 5 run (Rodriguez kick) USC-FG Rodriguei 33 USC Emanuel 6 run (Rodriguez kick) USC-FG Rodriguez 23 run (Lashar kick) OU Perry2 USC-FG Rodriguez 25 A 84,124.

The Associated Press Penn State's David Daniels makes a leaping catch over Rutgers defender John Blanton for a 37-yard touchdown. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -Penn State challenged Rutgers to run the ball. So the Scarlet Knights rammed it down the Nittany Lions' throats. "They dared us to run," Rutgers coach Dick Anderson said of his team's 21-16 upset of No.

15 Penn State. "They didn't give us too many choices but to run." So the Knights ran. Two weeks ago, they stunned Michigan State by depending heavily on the passing attack. Not this time, however. Penn State held Scott Erney to only nine completions in 20 attempts for 85 yards.

In Rutgers' first two games, Erney connected on 60 of 91 for 675 yards and three touchdowns. Instead, fullback Mike Botti ran 11 and 57 yards for third-period touchdowns as the Knights beat the Nittany Lions for the first time since they won the first game of the 17-game series 70 years ago. Botti piled up 112 on 12 carries. In all, Rutgers rushed 36 times for 143 yards. The Rutgers defense, with five sacks, held off a Penn State desperation drive, stopping the Lions on four downs at the 2 with less than a minute to play.

"They showed a lot of character, guts and determination," Anderson said of his 2-1 team's last stand. Penn State is 2-1.
