"Things were pretty quiet," said4e. fenive tackle Mark Musgrave of locker-room atmosphere. "But I pretty much felt we were beating up on them, even though the. score didn't show it.

There was a quiet confidence." That seemed to echo most of the team's attitude. "Coach Weber said we couldn't wait for things to happen," said "We knew we were better than them. We knew two little breakdowns had cost us. And when you see that kicking team stop them at the 15, you know something's going to happen. Eddie' (Johnson) said to get a turnover, and we'd score.

He sure did it for us." Memphis State's third quarter drives began at the 15, 17, 20, 9, 16, and 13. of L's defense held the Ti- gers to two yards total offense in the period. More than any previous game, Lou- isville stressed its running game. With1': Haden gaining 74 in just nine carries and Craft 68 in only 11, the Red Rage had 237 yards on the ground. They also gained 111 through the air as Pat-i terson hit three of five passes in the second half (for 99 yards overall) andl freshman backup Dean May hit one; for 12 yards.

-t In winning its second straight, of L's record moved to 2-3. Memphis Boom, of course. On third down at his own 10, Martin was rushed by Richard Tharpe, who stripped him of the ball. Hagan recovered at the six-yard line, and the Cardinals scored on second down when Pat Patterson hit Mark Wilson with a five-yard pass. "I've seen pairs of touchdowns scored quickly, but nothing like those five minutes," said Weber.

Louisville added its fifth touchdown early in the fourth quarter when Greg Hickman scored on a three-yard run, capping a 51-yard drive keyed by a 44-yard pass-and-run hookup between Patterson and Mark Clayton. Although Betz later missed a pair of field goals (ending a string of six straight this season), Louisville had its biggest win in the 19-game history of the Memphis State series. The greatest previous victory margin by of was 17 points, in a 17-0 decision in 1972. It has scored more points, however, beating Memphis 40-27 in 1970. The irony, of course, was that the Cardinals headed for the locker room at halftime with a chorus of boos following them.

At that point, they had four turnovers, three on fumbles. They had recovered a fumble at the Memphis 16, and drove to the nine, only to see Patterson intercepted. Memphis State, meanwhile, had fashioned its lead despite gaining just 10 yards rushing on 25 of its 26 carries. The other run, however, was an 80-yard touchdown play by Williams, the only breakdown of L's defense suffered. The Tigers got ther first I a 0 'Is a 1 By JOHN McGILL Courier-Journal Staff Writer The feeling first hit coach Bob Weber as he stood in the end zone, territory his Louisville football team had yet to invade through 30 minutes of last night's game against Memphis State.

"You could sense it," said Weber. "They were getting ignited. They just lit up." Memphis State coach Richard Williamson sensed it, too. "They looked like wild men," he said, "and they played like it" After Weber led his team out of the end zone for the second half, of indeed staged a wild and wicked performance. It made the roar of 15,501 spectators in Fairgrounds Stadium sound like 50,000.

Understandably so. Trailing 14-3 at the half, of won 38-14. Having blown three golden chances for touchdowns in the first half, the Cardinals scored four. In the first 4:39 of the second half. Wild men.

"We had to be," grinned of linebacker Eddie Johnson, who had two fumble recoveries in the lightning-quick avalanche, one of which he returned for a touchdown. of L's turnaround was so sudden, and so devastating, that a sports score service in New York phoned the press box to verify the ticker tape that said, with 10:21 left in the third quarter, of led 31-14 after trailing 14-3. It happened like this: On the opening kickoff of the second half, Louisville stopped Memphis State at its 15. On the first play from scrimmage, Memphis State's Richard Williams fumbled and Johnson recovered at the 15. Boom.

On the first play from there, Bo Haden ripped off tackle and scored. Dave Betz, who converted all five extra point kicks and had a 20-yard field goal, hit this one, and Memphis led only 14-10. With Gene Hagan, Joe Kader and Jay Trautwein making successive big plays, Memphis State had yet to gain a yard from its 17 on the next possession. of took a punt at its 45. Boom.

It took of just four plays to score, Donald Craft gaining 15, Haden seven, Craft nine and Haden reaching the end zone on a 24-yard run. Suddenly, the Cards led 17-14. Boom, again. Six ticks of the clock later, of had its third TD. As Memphis State quarterback Darrell 1A in lit? liir A sw irV- 43 of gives fans Continued from Page One team, Patterson still has a long way to go.

He threw well last night in the first half, but something always seemed to go wrong. One play in the first half was more or less typical of of L's problems. Dropping back, Patterson threw a long pass to Kenny Robinson streaking down the sidelines toward the corner of the end zone. The pass hit Robinson right on the numbers and he dropped it. Of course, it wasn't always the receivers' fault.

Patterson threw one pass that was intercepted and had a couple more that should have been. For the half, he completed two of 14 for only 36 yards. Ah, but he looked much better in the second half, completing three of I Jl Staff Photo by Jim Wright Mate aroppea to i-i. reason to cheer five passes for 63 yards and the touch- down. He felt so good that, when We ber finally took him out and put in freshman Dean May, Patterson grabbed a cup of water and poured it on his head.

"That wasn't too smart, considering; how cold it was," Patterson said. but I was just so happy. I wanted to- elax and feel the victory. I was kindd celebrating early. It was a good feeling to sit there and see the clock run out:" Also a good feeling to hear cheers instead of boos.

"I'm sorry that happened," Patter son said. "Hopefully, from now on, our fans will stay with us longer than two quarters. Coach Weber always stresses that the game is four quarters long. People better start to believe in us, because we believe in ourselves."
