(AP) Tailback Chuck Coleman scored two touchdowns and Tennessee capitalized on two early fumble recoveries Saturday as the Volunteers rolled to a 30-17 Southeastern Conference football victory over Mississippi.

Tennessee converted the two first-quarter recoveries into a 10-0 lead which the Rebels were never able to overcome, despite a brilliant passing performance by quarterback Kent Austin. Austin completed 37 of 50 passes for 381 yards and set a SEC record by hitting on 20 straight over a two- -game span before missing on his 16th of the day. He threw for both touchdowns and set up an Ole Miss field, goal. Coleman scored the Vols' first touchdown on a 1-yard run in the first quarter after tight end Jeff Smith recovered when Rebel Michael Harmon fumbled a punt at the Ole Miss 19. Quarterback Alan Cockrell threw a 15-yard pass to Willie Gault at the 4 to set up Coleman's touchdown run.

Coleman got his second touchdown on a 39-yard run in the third period after Gault had returned a Rebel kickoff to the Tennessee 49. Tennessee's first big fumble recovery came early in the opening quarter when defensive back Joe Cozart pulled in an Austin bobble at the Reb 34 to set up a 30-yard field goal by Fuad Reveiz, who hit on all three field goal and conversion efforts. Tennessee took a 17-0 lead in the second quarter when fullback Doug Furnas, capped a 74-yard drive with a 9-yard run. Coleman had a 39-yard run and Cockrell a 23-yard pass to Lenny Taylor to set it up. Austin hit on a 15-yard scoring pass to tailback Buford McGee, his sixth completion of the drive, to narrow the gap and Todd Gatlin added a 24-yard field goal to pull Ole Miss within one touchdown.

However, Reveiz kicked a 52-yard field goal with the ball hitting the crossbar and bouncing over on the final play 6f the half to stretch the Vol lead and Ole Miss never threatened after that. Scouts from the Liberty, Hall of Fame, Independence and Peach bowls were on hand to see Tennessee win its fifth against three losses and a tie. The Ole Miss record dropped to 4-6 -r STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) Kicker Dana Moore had figured in some big football games for Mississippi State, but he say "the biggest thrill of my life" came on his 45-yard field goal that sixth-ranked Lousiana State 27-24 in the dying moments of Saturday's game. "Thprp was mnrp ju-PMurp than in the Alabama game in 1980," Moore said, referring to his two field goals that achieved a 6-3 upset of the No.

1 team at the time. 1 Moore kicked the winning points with about 20 seconds left, breaking the Bulldogs' six-game losing streak after it appeared Louisiana State may have rescued a 24-24 tie on fullback Mike Montz' 35-yard touchdown run with 4:52 left. Mississippi State Coach Emory Bellard said the Bulldogs' formula for victory over the previously unbeaten Tigers was simple: "We Just applied our offense against their defense." "I know that sounds like an oversimplification, but it was true today," Bellard said. "I think we moved the ball up the field as well as anyone has against them this year." LSU's Jerry Stovall said the Tigers felt they could win "even at the end; however, we did not play as we should have." Montz had scored shortly after Mississippi State went ahead 24-17 when quarterback John Bond apd end Danny Knight teamed on a 64-yard pass-run touchdown play with 10:34 left in the fourth quarter. Knight caught the ball near mid-field and broke three tackles while galloping up the sideline for the touchdown.

Louisiana State, shut" out of the Southeastern Conference championship earlier in the day by top-ranked Georgia's victory over Auburn, fell to 7-1-1, 4-1-1 in the SEC. Mississippi State is now 4-6 and 1-4. The victory overshadowed a big day for Tiger quarterback Alan Risher, who hit 25 of 34 passes for 308 yards and two touchdowns. Moore missed a 41-yard field goal with 5:45 left in the game, turning the ball over to LSU for its 76-yard drive capped by Montz' touchdown. Later, Mississippi State started its winning drive from the Tiger 44, with Bond hitting Corwyn Aldredge for 14 yards to help move the ball into position for Moore's field goal.

He fumbled the kick at the Troy 22, and the Gamecocks Troy Sanders recovered. The JSU offense was on and off the field in just seven seconds. On first down, Goodloe took a pitch In for the score. Chris Hobbs, sophomore place-kicker from Anniston, kicked the point-after and it was 7-0. A 29-yard punt by Troy's Doug Crane set up the Gamecocks' next score.

Jacksonville took possession at the Troy 42-yard line, and seven plays later Goodloe vaulted into the end sone from a yard out. With 7 28 left in the first quarter Hobbs' kick made it 14-0. Troy finally came alive after the two quick Gamecock scores. On first down at the TSU 20, Dwayiie Thompson was met by four "Red Bandits" behind the line of scrimmage, but managed to steer clear and then carried it 51 yards to the SO. And a personal foul by JSU-moved the ball to the 14.

That was the Jlrst jsl 1 flags thrown against Jax State that added up to went in from a yard out. Hobbs' kick was good, and the score was 21-8. Troy's next possession resulted in an-, other field goal try by Van Wle. This onev from 35 yards out, was wide to the right. Finally, however, Troy was able to" score a touchdown.

Lett was Intercepted, by Donnie Arnold who returned it to the JSU 3-yard line. From there, it took Troy only one play to score, with Larry doing the honors.

Hobbs' PAT made it 28-14. a scoreless third quarter, Jack-! sonville finally got back on the board when another Lett to Fuller strike from 19 yards'" -put was good for touchdown with 10:58" but most, of it was what he put into it." For Troy, the season is over. Except for those two decisive wins a few weeks ago, the year wasn't much fun. The Trojans' final record fell to 2-8, and 2-5 in conference play.

But those wins had Fuller edgy. "It was difficult for us to prepare for them because of Troy's emotion and the way they play. This was a typical JSU-Troy game. There was a lot of desire on both sides of the field. I've been a part of it for 12 years, and It Is a heated rivalry," he said.

The score really didn't show the whole story. It was a close three quarters, and at one point in the second quarter, only a touchdown separated the two teams. But in the final 15 minutes of the contest the Gamecocks pulled away with short drives of 13 and 19 yards, as well as a 65-yard drive. All of that really didn't come as much of a shock' to Fuller. He knew it would be close.

"I expected thegame i to'go backanoT fourth, and I knew It was going to be a hard game to win. The team had to play hard to win, and it helped us. At this point in the season a blow-out wouldn't have helped, and by having to play hard the entire game we got better," he said. One reason Fuller says It could have" been closer was mistakes. The Trojans lost five turnovers.

"Troy had opportunities to make things worse for us, especially In the first quarter," stated Fuller. "But along with those mistakes and getting ahead early in the game, we stopped their momentum." Momentum. Coaches like to talk about it, and teams like to get it early and keep it. Jacksonville did. best example was the opening kickoff.

Freddie McCrimmon is responsible for Jacksonville's last touchdown of the night He Intercepted a McKlnnon pass and returned it 40 yards to the Troy 19, and six plays later Broughton went in from a yard out. Hobbs kicked his 45th consecutive point after with 1:22 left in the game to make the final tally read explosiveness that Troy has," Fuller said. Troy's explosive drive later blew up, and four plays later Don Van Wle hit a 30-yard field goal with 5:57 left In the first quarter. Two plays after the Trojans' field goal, Lett threw his first interception of the night.

His pass was picked off by Gary Bradshaw at the JSU 20. The Jax State defense held once again, and four plays later Van Wle was back on the field. This -time his kick was good from 37 yards out, and the score was 14-8. Walter Broughton did the honors for Jacksonville's third touchdown of the night.
