17, Citadel 13 JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. Led by a tenacious defense, East Tennessee State came from behind to upset The Citadel Bulldogs 17-13 in a Southern Conference game. Pott Wirt Services CHAPEL HILL, N.C. Inspired by the man he replaced, Tyrone Anthony rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns yesterday afternoon to lead fifth-ranked North Carolina to 48-10 victory over Wake Forest. Anthony was chosen by UNC coach Dick Crum to replace Kelvin Bryant, who suffered a knee injury in last week's Georgia Tech game.

Anthony, who entered the game with a total of 94 yards, gained the fifth-highest total ever recorded for a Tar Heel running back. And, he gave credit for the performance where credit was due. "I owe it all to my line," Anthony said of an offensive line which allowed the Tar Heels to rush for 467 yards. Anthony and Bryant roomed together Friday night before the contest. Anthony said Bryant's words were S.

The Tar Heel offense moved the Demon Deacon defense at will and gained 543 yards in front of a record home attendance of 51,962 and scouts from the Orange Bowl. North Carolina remains undefeated in five games while winning its conference opener. Wake Forest falls to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the ACC.

IK Auburn quarterback Joe War Eagles' beat Louisiana 17-0 Win hi 1 I Past Wire Services BIRMINGHAM, Ala. "It was a good snap, a good hold, good blocking, so I just kicked it," said Southern Mississippi sophomore Steve Clark. Clark kicked a line-drive field goal of 40 yards with eight seconds left to give the Golden Eagles a 13-13 tie with seventh-ranked Alabama yesterday. "It was a super defensive effort," said Southern coach Sonny Collins. "It's hard to prepare for the Wishbone in one week, but I thought our players rose to the occasion.

We know we tied a great team." The standoff, which delayed Alabama's drive to give coach Bear Bryant a record 315 victories, "was great for them," Bryant said. "They deserve everything they got. It's a pity they didn't go ahead and win with the score. They did everything else." Bryant, whose record now is 310-80-17, said Southern "had the best team, the best plan and they were better coached. They wanted to win more.

They had more pride, more class, more everything." Quarterback Reggie Collier, a pain for Alabama the entire game, directed the Eagles from their 20 to set up Clark's tying kick, his second field goal of the game. Collier ran for 8 yards and completed four passes in the push, including a 27-yarder to tight end Raymond Powell to put the ball at the Alabama 24 before Clark's kick. Peter Kim's 41-yard field goal had given Alabama a 13-10 lead with 7:15 left, and, when Alabama held Southern on the next series, the Crimson Tide appeared in control. But a 'Bama drive from its 40 bogged down at the Southern 41, and a punt into the end zone gave the Eagles their opportunity. Southern, 4-0-1, took a 3-0 lead late in the first period on Clark's 33-yard field goal and made it stand up until late in the half when Kim kicked a 48-yarder.

Alabama, now 4-1-1, went up 10-3 in the third period on Joe Carter's 32-yard run behind a Jeff Fagan block at the corner that wiped out two defenders. However, Collier completed seven passes in an 80-yard drive that ended with his 5-yard scoring run to make it 10-10. enough to lead him to his outstanding performance. "He just talked to me," Anthony said. "He had great faith in me.

If someone else has faith in me, I should have faith in myself." Crum said he knew all along Anthony was capable of such a game, but was afraid the Pfafftown, N.C, sophomore would lose patience playing behind Bryant. "When you got a youngster playing behind someone like Kelvin Bryant, it's tough to keep him motivated," Crum said. "But I knew at breakfast this morning that Tyrone was ready to play." Wake Forest coach Al Groh felt after the game that few teams in the country would be able to stop the Tar Heel offense.

Auburn, seeking an offense after sputtering most of the season, went to a four-quarterback attack yesterday and got scoring production from the only veteran in the group, Joe Sullivan, to down Louisiana State 19-7 in a Southeastern Conference game yesterday. Sullivan scored one touchdown and passed for another as Auburn won its first SEC game since 1979. The victory left Auburn with a 2-3 season record and a 1-1 mark in the SEC and enabled the Tigers to snap a three-game losing streak.

LSU fell to 2-4 and 0-3 in the game played under threatening conditions, although rain never fell. "When you change quarterbacks, and one backup is sick and one is hurting, and you come in with two that haven't played and a freshman, it would have been easy to choke, but we didn't," said Auburn coach Pat Dye. "We have a very simple game plan," he added. "We bad to go back to basics on offense." Brown 26, Penn 24 PHILADELPHIA Bob Granfors kicked four field goals and Brown held off a late rally by Penn as the Bruins defeated the Quakers 26-24 for their first win of the season. Granfors' field goals of 32, 31, 27 and 27 yards all came in the first half, helping Brown build a 26-3 lead going in the fourth quarter.

Lehigh 21, Connecticut 17 BETHLEHEM, Pa. Larry Mi-chalski threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to split end Dan Ryan with only 3:40 left to play, giving Lehigh a 21-17 victory over Connecticut. It was the 10th Michalski-to-Ryan scoring pass in five games. Michalski completed 26 of 39 passes for 312 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception. Lehigh, 4-1, went into the game ranked first in the Lambert Cup poll and sixth nationally in the 1-AA division.

Connecticut, 2-3, was ninth in Lambert voting. Yale 29, Holy Cross 28 WORCESTER, Mass. Tony Jones kicked a 32-yard field goal with 35 seconds remaining and Yale remained among the nation's dwindling unbeaten teams with a 29-28 victory over upstart Holy Cross. Holy Cross, now 3-2, jumped to a quick 7-0 lead on a 47-yard touchdown run by Andy Clivio, but Vale came back to tie the score on an 8-yard run by Andrie. Lafayette 37, Bucknell 0 EASTON, Pa.

Sophomore quarterback Frank Novak threw for 213 yards and three touchdowns, and junior halfback Rodger Shepko ran 18 times for 121 yards as Lafayette defeated Bucknell 37-0.

Tailback Cliff Austin ran for two touchdowns as ninth-ranked Clemson trounced Virginia 27-0 in an Atlantic Coast Conference game yesterday. The win, which opened Clemson's ACC schedule, was the Tigers' fifth straight without a loss. The Tigers' touchdowns came on runs of 42 and 1 yard by Austin and a 5-yard run by fullback Jeff McCall.

Clemson's defense completely dominated the game, allowing Virginia into Tiger territory only twice once each in the second and fourth quarters. Virginia, which lost its fifth straight game and third ACC contest, had just one opportunity to score. In the final period the Cavaliers, behind passes of 12 and 22 yards from quarterback Gordie Whitehead to split end Henry Johnson, had a first-and-goal at the Clemson 4-yard line. But Whitehead was sacked for an 11-yard loss and two passes fell incomplete, and Clemson took over on downs with 4:13 left. Virginia never got close enough to attempt a field goal.

But Clemson pla-cekicker Donald Igwebuike was successful on two attempts, from 22 yards in the first quarter and 32 yards late in the game. Clemson has not allowed a touchdown since a 45-10 season-opening victory against Wofford and has given up 21 points in five games among the best records in the nation. Both teams were lackluster offensively in the first half, except for a 43-second period during which Clemson scored its first touchdown. Midway through the second period, Clemson took a punt by Virginia's Jeff Walker and marched 83 yards in three plays for a touchdown.

The win gives Furman a 3-2 mark on the year, and a 2-1 record in the Southern Conference. ASU drops to 3-3 for the year and 1-2 in the conference.

Herschel Walker ran for 265 yards and the nth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs ripped open the game with three second-quarter touchdowns for a 37-7 victory over Mississippi in a Southeastern Conference game yesterday. The 220-pound All-America running back carried the ball 41 times against the Rebels' young defenders. The victory gave Georgia a 4-1 record, including 2-0 in the SEC, while Mississippi dropped to 3-3 and 0-1, after starting the season with three straight wins.

Tailback Curt Warner scored twice and broke the 100-yard mark for the fifth straight time to lead second-ranked Penn State to a 38-7 victory over Boston College yesterday.

Fullback Mike Meade rushed for a career high 107 yards and a score while quarterback Todd Blackledge, who threw for one touchdown, had his best day ever with 182 yards passing. The Nittany Lions, 4-0, totally dominated Boston College, which had seven turnovers and didn't cross midfield until the second half. The loss was the third straight for the Eagles, 1-3. Penn State lost its bid for a third shutout in four games when Boston College backup quarterback Doug Flutie threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Scott Nizolek in the fourth quarter. Warner, who had 105 yards on 22 carries, scored from seven yards out to cap a 79-yard, 11-play drive on Penn State's first possession.

He also scared from a yard out in the third period.

Danny Daniels didn't complete a pass, but that made little difference as the reserve quarterback led the fourth-ranked Pitt Panthers to a 17-0 victory over sluggish West Virginia yesterday. "That's no big deal that didn't matter," said Daniels, a 20-year-old junior. He was 0-for-6 passing for the afternoon as Pitt ground out 236 yards rushing. It was the first start for the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Daniels, who took over for the injured Dan Marino, the nation's top-rated passer. What did matter, said Daniels, was the Panthers' grind-'em-out offense, which coach Jackie Sherrill called "the most conservative" game plan that any of his teams have ever displayed.

Daniels said he was a bit upset at the decision to run the ball so much, but said it was justified because Pitt had poor field position in the first half and the lead in the second half. To Sherrill, whose Panthers ran their record to 4-0, the game rested largely on five plays: two Pitt interceptions, a second quarter fumble by the Mountaineers on the Pitt 1-yard line, a missed West Virginia field goal and a 47-yard run by Bryan Thomas for the game's first score late In the first half. Pitt hosts Florida State, which upset Notre Dame yesterday, next week in Pittsburgh. West Virginia will try to rebound from its first loss in five games by hosting rival Virginia Tech.
