Thomas More (5-0) is ranked No. 12 in NCAA Division III. Wesley KENTUCKY SCHOOLS OVC By JIM TERHUNE Staff Writer MURFREESBORO, Tenn. Taking a page out of Fran Tarkenton's magician's play book, Eastern Kentucky's John Sacca performed an 8-yard scramble with as much sleight of hand as anyone could have requested last night.

It ended in a sprawl in the corner of the end zone, flinging the Colonels past Middle Tennessee 28-27 before 14,600 fans at Horace Jones Field and into the driver's seat in the Ohio Valley Conference race. With Middle leading 27-21 and just over four minutes to go, Sacca faded to try a slant pass to Dialleo OVC Conf. All Eastern 2 0 3 2 Murray State. 2 1 Middle Tenn. 2 1 SE Missouri .2 1 Tenn.

A spectacular double-twisting 13-yard run to 1 by tailback Kippy Bayless who had 165 yards rushing and 56 receiving set up Robbie Roberts' 1-yard dive that got the Blue Raiders within 21-19 with 12:37 to play. Sacca then tried to move Eastern out of a hole at its 7-yard-line. The Colonels even went for it on fourth-and-one from their 28 and made it when Middle jumped offsides. But from the 32 Sacca, who had an outstanding clutch-passing night with 12 of 21 for 164 yards, had a ball tipped at the line. It was intercepted by Nathaniel Claybrooks and returned 38 yards to the one, from where Bayless dove in.

Burks on third- and-seven from the Middle 8-yard line. It wasn't there. Sacca fled the pocket and headed to his left. He pump-faked one rusher and moved toward the line of scrimmage. Another defender approached.

He pump-faked him, sending him to the ground. Now he was on his own. A cor-nerback had him dead to rights at the 6. Sacca hip-faked, the defender lurched toward the sideline and Sacca cut inside. At the 5, he swerved inside, took two steps and dived in for six Marc Collins' kick put Eastern ahead, and Middle's last-chance comeback try was ended by three consecutive sacks for 28 yards in losses.

"So much is going through your mind you don't have time to think what you're going to do," Sacca said. "We were trying to throw the slant to Dialleo. A linebacker was sitting underneath, and I couldn't see him. So I rolled out and gave some little pumps. That seems to work for me." It gave Eastern a 2-0 OVC record (3-2) overall and coach Roy Kidd his 250th victory.

A 6-foot-4 starting linebacker who had 17 tackles, Donahue was called in to receive because of his height. He outjumped a defender to catch the pass, then he caught the two-point conversion pass.

Associated Press David McCann scored from 1 yard out on fourth down with 1:59 left to lead Murray State to a 28-24 come-from-behind win over Tennessee Martin last night. The Racers marched 77 yards in 11 plays for the winning score. The Pacers (2-2, 0-2 in the Ohio Valley Conference) moved to the Murray State 37, but time ran out after a fourth-down pass fell incomplete. Murray State (3-2, 2-1) led 14-0 at the half after a 2-yard pass from Herman Taylor to Donnie Stephens with 12:21 left in the second quarter and a 75-yard interception return by Ronnie Merritt as time expired.

"I didn't know it was 250 until (offensive line coach) Doug Carter mentioned it to me this week," Kidd said. "All I see is the next game." One could also see a partially-puffed cigar dangling from his hand.

Roy, you don't smoke. "I'm all the time on (Middle coach) Boots Donnelly's case because he chain-smokes," Kidd said. "I Conf. Austin Peay 1 1 Tenn. Stale .1 1 .0 2 Morehead ..0 3 All I 2 2 2 3 2 2 0 5 told the kids if we beat Middle here, I'd smoke one.

I took two or three puffs more than I needed to. I don't feel so good right now." Middle broke on top 13-0 with a touchdown and two field goals in their first three drives. Eastern responded with perhaps its finest blend of blocking and running of the season, driving 75, 51 and 70 yards in a 20-minute span in the middle quarters to pull ahead 21-13. Sophomore Eric Clay scored standing up on runs of 7 and 8 yards, and Bobby Washington caught a 5-yard down-and-out timing pass from Sacca. Clay gained 162 yards.

He was the first back to go over 100 for Eastern this season, and it had been 20 years since EKU had not had a 100-yarder in a four-game stretch. "The line really opened some holes," he said. "I had all that room and just ran through them." "Even though we got down quick, there was a lot of intensity throughout the whole game," said guard James Hand, a Butler High School product. "The receivers, line and tight ends are doing a great blocking job when a guy doesn't get touched." But the Eastern rally touched a Yesterday's summary At Birmingham, Alt.

"We didn't always get great pressure, but there were times we certainly hurried their quarterback." Jewell completed 12 of 18 passes. Lito Mason had five catches for 99 yards. "They were a little bit stronger physically than we were," UAB coach Jim Hilyer said. "Defensively, we controlled their option about as well as we could.

But to do that, we had to give up something, and they broke some big pass plays on us.

Jewell threw for a touchdown and ran for another, finishing with 267 passing yards to lead Western Kentucky to a 31-22 victory over Alabama-Birmingham yesterday. The Hilltoppers (4-1) who were coming off a 59-45 loss to Central Florida piled up 458 yards of offense while holding UAB (1-4) to 37 yards rushing. "It was a fantastic football game," said Western coach Jack Harbaugh, whose team is ranked No. 14 in NCAA Division I-AA. "It was sticky at times, and we never seemed to get our inside game established." A 44-yard field goal by Kevin Thomason pulled the Blazers within 17-16 in the third quarter, but Western got a 2-yard TD run by Ron Townsley later in the period and a 53-yard scoring pass from Jewell to Brian Sowersby in the fourth.

Antwan Floyd, averaging 114 yards rushing a game, finished with 110 on 26 carries and scored on a 3-yard run that put WKU up 14-3 with 31 seconds left in the first. "We did a good job on third-down conversions," Harbaugh said. "If we don't convert them we don't win this game."
