6C Th SUNDAY Tennewean OCTOBER 18. 1987 Orangemen crush Nittany Lions, 48-21 Associated Press No. 10 SYRACUSE, N.Y. Don McPherson wanted to make a statement early and let Penn No. 14 lead, and Syracuse was ur.27-0 at the half.

McPherson threw scoring passes of 29 and 27 yards to Tommy Kane and ran six and 20 yards for touchdowns as Syracuse rolled unchecked to a 41-0 margin in the third period. "We didn't expect them to come so quick and jump out on top of us like they did," Penn State receiver Ray Roundtree said. "When they got out on top of us so early, they took us out of our game plan." Syracuse Coach Dick MacPherson wasn't ready to claim the national championship after Syracuse's most decisive victory ever over the Nittany Lions, but he was plenty happy. "Syracuse has been waiting a long time for this," he said. "We're not ready to say we've turned it around.

But I don't think there will be any more questions about whether we are a legitimate football team this year." hhmh 11 miu.fi.ujii.il. imi.muwi.jpmu.

"When I saw the corner fall, I knew it was bombs away," said McPherson, who connected with Rob Moore on an 80-yard scoring pass on the first play from scrimmage as No. 1 3 Syracuse trounced lOth-ranked Penn State 48-21 yesterday. "Once we jumped ahead, things just snowballed," he added. McPherson figured in five of Syracuse's six touchdowns, passing for three and running for two while finishing with 375 yards in total offense in the game at the Carrier Dome. It was the first Syracuse victory over Penn State since 1970 and its first at home over the Nittany Lions since 1965.

The Orangemen also improved to 6-0, the best start for a Syracuse team since the 1959 national champions went 10-0. Syracuse stunned Penn State and a sellout crowd on the opening play of the game, touted by the Syracuse coaching staff as one of the biggest in school history. Moore sprinted free behind the Penn State secondary to catch McPherson's pass and ran untouched into the end zone.

Nebraska also rolled up 36 first downs to OSU's 16 and held Thurman Thomas, the nation's leading rusher with a 140-yard average, to seven yards in nine carries, the lowest output of his career.

Taylor, who sat out last week's 54-2 rout of Kansas with a bruised shoulder, completed seven of 12 passes for 140 yards, including a 29-yard touchdown to split end Rod Smith in the first quarter. The Wildcats, 0-6 and losers of 1 1 in a row, were 56-point underdogs but trailed by only 18 points midway through the second period. Clemson 17, Duke 10: No. 7 Fullback Tracy Johnson scored on a 4-yard run with 6:46 re ball on 60 of Texas' running plays and was responsible for half their pass receptions, so it figured that the Longhorns, needing a touchdown, would go to him on the final play of the game. Wrong.

Instead, pint-sized Tony Jones slipped between two Arkansas defenders and caught an 18-yard pass from Bret Stafford that gave Texas a 16-14 Southwest Conference football upset over the 1 5th-ranked Razor-backs in Little Rock. The 5-foot-7 Jones got between Anthony Cooney and Steve Atwater on the touchdown play that improved Texas' record to 3-3 overall and 2-0 in the Southwest Conference. 1 NuteJ LjS Si.
