"We've got a long, long, long way to go in a short period of time because the football team coming in next week is probably as good a team as I've seen in a long time," Davie said of the Cornhuskers, who opened with a 49-13 win over San Jose State. "It's a tremendous challenge for this football team." battle had TD passes of 9 yards to Joey Getherall with 1:31 left in the half to tie it at 7-all, and then hit Ja-vin Hunter on a 46-yarder with 3:24 remaining in the third quarter to put the Irish ahead for the first time, 1 1-10. From that point, the Irish took control. Julius Jones ran 17 yards for a fourth-quarter I and Nick Setta added a 32-yard field goal with 7:17 left. Any hopes for a Texas comeback ended when free safety Tony Driver intercepted a pass by Mark Farris at the Irish 14 with remaining.

Farris, the former Pittsburgh Pirates farmhand making his first start for the Aggies, was 16 of 28 for 165 yards and an interception. "It's disappointing to come up here and let some things slip away," Slo-cum said. "We didn't take advantage of our chances to score." J5y RICHARD ROSENBLATT Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. A handshake and hug from his new athletic director sent Notre Dame coach Bob Davie off the field to a rousing ovation from the crowd. Before he left, though, Davie 'walked toward the north end of the stadium and lifted his palms skyward in a "raise the roof" salute to Irish fans.

Notre Dame's first victory in 10 months a 24-10 win over No. 25 yesterday allowed to breathe a huge sigh of relief. fWith new AD Kevin White calling the hots. Davie started his fourth season knowing his job would be in jeopar-dy if the Irish failed to get off to a strong start: The Irish lost four straight to finish 5-7 last season. I It took awhile, but Arnaz Battle made his first start a memorable one throwing the first two touchdown passes of his career, and the Irish defense shut down the Aggies in the second half.

Davie, an assistant at Texas under current Aggies coach R.C. Slo- cum before arriving at Notre Dame, said the game was far from pretty but winning was all that matters. "It wasn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination," Davie "and I don't know that we 'played particularly well. But the thing that's really encouraging is we 11.

The redshirt sophomore quarter-tack ran for two touchdowns and "threw for two more yesterday, leaving countless Akron defenders grasping at air as he led No.

11 Virginia Tech to a 52-23 victory at home. "Where's that storm we were supposed to get?" Akron coach Lee Owens said. "I think that's the only chance we had to slow them down." 'i Especially Vick, whose spectacular freshman season ended with a gripping performance in the national championship game. Yesterday he ran 16 and 63 yards for TDs and threw 59- and 34-yard TD passes. In three quarters, Vick completed 11 passes for 186 yards and ran ight times for 102 yards before going to the sideline.

"If he's not the greatest football player in college today, I don't want to go "against the guy who is," said Owens. Vick got plenty of help as Lee Suggs rushed for 90 yards and two TDs in his debut as the tailback and the Ho-kies piled up 5 19 yards of offense, i "I knew I had to get my teammates involved," Vick said. "I've got 11 other players around me and need to let them play the game, too." The Zips moved the ball, too. They rang up 410 yards and trailed just 28-17 with three minutes left in the half. That's when Vick's arm started get-ling warm.

Taking over at the 24 with 1:40 left, he hit Shawn Witten for 10 yards, Andre Davis for 7 and a wide-open Emmett Johnson for 59 down the right sideline for his first TD pass of the season. Johnson had to stop and wait for the ball but still scored easily. "I just made the throw to make sure I wasn't going to overthrow him," Vick said, somewhat sheepishly. "That Would have been embarrassing." That made it 35-17 at the half, and the rest of the game was essentially a race against an approaching storm. Nebraska 49, San Jose State 13: Eric Crouch ran for three TDs and passed for another as the top-ranked Cornhuskers routed visiting San Jose State.

The junior had only eight carries for 57 yards but scored on runs of 6, 4 and 9 yards. Dan Alexander ran for 208 yards and two TDs and Correll Buckhaltcr had 117 yards on 13 carries for the Other contenders Quincy Carter, QB, Georgia: Completed 16 of 27 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns and ran for one TD in a 29-7 victory over Georgia Southern. Marques Tuiasosopo, QB, Washington: Passed for 223 yards and a TD and ran for 80 yards and another score as the Huskies beat Idaho 44-20. Sat. vs.

Huskers, who scored on their first four possessions and didn't punt until the fourth quarter. "It's nice to have all those running backs doing such a great job," Crouch said. "We can be physical all game long, and that takes a lot of pressure off me It was just option football power football. That's what we do." The Huskers had 596 yards offense, 505 rushing, while winning their 15th straight opener. Colorado State 28, Colorado 24: Matt Newton threw a career-high fourTD passes, including a 30-yarder to tight end Jose Ochoa with 10:31 remaining as the Rams knocked off the "Buffaloes in Denver for the second straight year.

After the game, Newton allowed himself a brief moment to gloat. "I guess there's a new sheriff in town," he said. No. 23 Colorado fell behind 14-0 but rallied to take a 24-11 lead early in the third quarter behind backup quarterback Bobby Pesavento, who threw for a TD and ran for another. Newton and Frank Rice hooked up for a 42-yard with 2:32 left in the quarter and, after the Buffaloes missed a long field-goal attempt, the Rams went 64 yards in eight plays for the winning score.

Colorado had three possessions after that but failed to advance beyond midfield. A no-alcohol policy at Mile High Stadium and police presence on the field at the end of the game including six patrolmen on horseback prevented a repeat of the rowdi-ness that followed last year's game. Washington 44, Idaho 20: Marques Tuiasosopo passed for 223 yards and a TD and ran for 80 yards and another score as the host Huskies beat the Vandals. Washington recovered four fumbles, intercepted a pass and blocked a punt. Idaho stunned Washington by taking a 7-0 lead on the game's first play on Willie Alderson's 82-yard run, the fourth-longest TD run ever against Washington.

Aldcrson went off right guard, bounced outside and went untouched up the right sideline. It remained 7-0 until early in the second quarter, when Washington got going. Clemson 38, The Citadel 0: Woodrow Dantzler completed 16 of 17 passes for 192 yards and three TDs as the 17tri-ranked Tigers ly's 17-yard touchdown pass, which went off the hands of intended receiver Shawn Mills and into the arms of Bobby Garner, making it 19-9 with 11:39 to play. The Eagies drove 96 yards on their next possession, twice converting long fourth downs, to score on Kelly's 7-yard pass to Mills with 55 seconds left. Tennessee recovered the onside kick, and Southern Miss' offense didn't get the ball again.

The Vols' defense contributed a safety by Will Overstreet and, until the two long drives in the fourth quarter, combined with David Lea-verton to give Tennessee a field-position advantage all night. Mathews' night did not begin well. His second pass was a weak floater into the right flat that Southern Miss safety Leo Barnes intercepted and returned 26 yards to set up Brant Han-na's 36-yard field goal. That put Southern Miss ahead 3-0 five minutes into the game. But Cedric Wilson's touchdown catch gave Tennessee a 7-3 lead.

Alex Wall's 32-yard field goal put the Vols ahead 10-3. wins 52-23 Courtright said. The Wildcats did hot have to punt until 1:27 remained in the third quarter. The Wildcats even got a highly unusual two-point safety midway through the fourth period. Louisiana Tech punter Dustin Upton, under a heavy rush, dropped the ball.

But in-, steacl of trying to pick it up and run or kick, he turned around and kicked it through the Bulldogs' end zone. Oklahoma 55, UTEP 14: Josh Hcupcl threw two TD passes and ran for a score and freshman Renaldo Works scored three fourth-quarter TDs as No. 19 Oklahoma bashed Tex-as-EI Paso in the hottest home game in Sooner history.

7 30 Btg 12 UNLVatlowuSt Louisiana-Lalayotte By TOM SHARP Associated Press KNOXVILI.E, Tenn. Travis Henry ran for 135 yards and Donte' Stall-worth turned a short pass into a 51-yard scoring play to help No. 12-ranked Tennessee to a 19-16 victory over No. 22 Southern Mississippi last night before a Nevland Stadium-record crowd of 108,061. The Volunteers' untried defense stifled the Golden Eagles until two long touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.

While Tennessee's offense struggled behind new quarterbacks Joey Mathews, A. J. Suggs and Eric Locke, the defense contained Southern Miss until the Vols had built a 19-3 lead on Stallworth's touchdown late in the third quarter. Southern Miss managed 303 yards of total offense. Jeff Kelly was sacked njne times, and the Golden Eagles' running game was held to 71 yards on 31 attempts.

Kelly came alive in the fourth quarter and finished 22 of 30 for 232 yards and two touchdowns. He led Southern Miss on drives of 83 and 96 yards in the fourth quarter. The first drive culminated in Kel.
