E8 The Post, Sunday, October 25, 1981 Richt Sparks Miami to 31-6 Victory yard field goal into the wind by Miller with just 16 seconds remaining in the half. A Carolina and its second-year toach, Ed Emory. "East Carolina did itself proud," Schnellenberger said. "They tested us. Coach Emory is doing a heckuva job and should be proud of his team." Kelly, less than delighted with his performance, indicated the 51-degree weather combined with Schhellen-berger's platooning may have hampered his effectiveness.

6- "I started out OK," he said, but I cooled off a little when we put in the second team. I guess I should, have kept warm by throwing on the side lines. "We tried to work on the running game today and Open up a bit, but East Carolina was tough. Maybe we underestimated them." f'PV I Spaclal to Tht Poit GREENVILLE, N.C. After struggling for the better part of three quarters, the University of Miami football team scored two touchdowns just 1:37 apart in the fourth yesterday and rolled to a 31-6 victory over stubborn East Carolina.

Junior backup quarterback Mark Richt of Boca Raton came off the bench to account for two important touchdowns as Miami, which compiled a 395-168 advantage in total yardage, picked up its fourth victory in six starts before a disappointed crowd of 26,282. East Carolina dropped to 4-4. The victory set up a confrontation between Miami, currently unranked, and No. 1-ranked Penn State at 2 p.m. Saturdays the Orange Bowl.

Unbeaten Penn State blitzed West Virginia 30-7 yesterday for its sixth victory of the season. "Well, we picked up win No. 4, and our first on the road this year," said Miami head coach Howard Schnellen-berger. "We also got a chance to look at a lot of different players, which was a priority when we came up here, "We gave our offense the opportunity to run the ball, but we didn't have as much success there as we'd have liked. Field position was a bear for us, so we could not be as free-wheeling as we'd have liked.

"We did some things better with the running game than we have so far, but we didn't do as well as we need to down the line." Miami's 143 yards rushing on 52 carries was its second best total of a season in which the Hurricanes have averaged only 104.6 land yards per game. No Miami player has even approached a 100-yard individual performance; yesterday's leader was sophomore fullback Robert (Speedy) Neal, who carried 11 times for 45 yards. Neal opened the game's scoring when he was left alone by the East Carolina defense and took a 1-yard touchdown pass from Jim Kelly with 2:49 left in the opening quarter. East Carolina had controlled the ball early but missed a field-goal attempt before Miami drove the length of the field for the score. Carolina cut the deficit to 7-3 when, with 12:40 remaining in the second quarter, Chuck Bushbeck kicked a school record 49-yard field goal with the help of a 15 mph breeze.

East Carolina tried to keep the momentum by attempting an onside kick, but Miami recovered. The score remained that way until, with about five minutes remaining, Richt came on to energize the Miami offense. Sparked by passes from Richt to Larry Brodsky and Mike Rodrigue, Miami moved to a first down at the East Carolina two-yard line. Three runs into the line moved the ball to 1 foot from the Pirate goal before Richt dove over for the touchdown behind center Don Bailey. Danny Miller's conversion made it 14-3 with 1:30 left in the half.

East Carolina failed to move after the kickoff, giving Miami the opportunity to stretch its lead to 17-3 on a 45- East Carolina returned to the field with renewed determination in the third quarter, but was unable to gain control of the momentum against the tough Miami defense. The Pirates did manage a 38-yard field goal by Bush-beck which proved to be the only score of the period. Kelly completed 8 of 13 passes for 147 yards and two touchdowns, but had failed to connect on a long pass until he found speedster Rocky Belk with a 54-yard touchdown pass midway through the final period. Kelly began the drive at the UM 36 with a 10-yard completion to tight end Glenn Dennison. Belk then beat double coverage on a post pattern down the middle, had to wait momentarily for the throw and then tumbled into the end zone with the catch.

The reception was only Belk's sixth of the season but virtually every one has been significant, as he's averaged almost 42 yards per catch. Finally feeling safe with a 24-7 lead, Schnellenberger put Kelly on the bench for good and sent Richt back to work. The opportunity for his first touchdown pass since the UM-Florida opener surfaced quickly as a short East Carolina punt combined with a personal foul gave Miami the ball at the hosts' 20. Kelly found Lawrence Thompson with a sideline pass in the end zone on the next play. Despite the one-sidedness of the outcome, Schnellenberger praised East '4 11 me 7-0 27 3-11-0 4-29 7-33 1-2 4-49 First downs Rushes-yards Passing yards Return yards Passes Sacks by Punts Fumbles-lost Penalties-yards Time of Possession Miami SI 52-13 252 i 17: 14-J1-1 M7 5-32 J- 11-121 32:40 27:20 7 10 0 14 I 1 C.

Phil Williams came up with another big catch, making an 11-yard reception on third-and-9 to keep the drive going, and was rewarded moments later with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Stockstill. Williams faked Daniel near the goal, spun right and caught the scoring pass in the right corner of the end zone with 1:24 left in the half. FSU Jed 24-7 at halftime after rolling up 176 yards on the ground, exactly 100 more than in last week's 42-14 loss to Pittsburgh. Greg Allen gained 146 yards on 19 carries in the first half. He handled the ball on 21 of FSU's 38 plays in the first two quarters.

Early in the third quarter, FSU wasted a scoring opportunity when a drive to the LSU 16 was foiled by a 17-yard sack of Stockstill and a 5-yard penalty. But cornerback Harvey Clayton and flanker Cedric Jones made up for that rather quickly on LSU's next possession. Just as it seemed the Tigers were about to score after a sharp drive to the Seminole 33, Clayton stepped in front of a Risher pass intended for McMillian Paces DAYTONA BEACH (AP) Quarterback Ken McMillian hit 14 of 23 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown and the Bethune-Cookman defense held Tuskegee to just 146 total yards in a 29-13 college football victory yesterday. The win was Bethune-Cookman's sixth straight, improving the Wildcats to 6-2 overall. Tuskegee dropped to 5-2.

The Wildcats, who came into the game ranked as the nation's best defensive team against passing, gave up only 81 yards while intercepting five passes. Bethune-Cookman scored on the third play of the game when safety Troy Anderson blitzed and tackled Tiger quarterback Ken Crum in the end zone for a safety. Tuskegee fought back midway in the first quarter and went ahead on Michael Wade's 1-yard run. Bethune-Cookman grabbed a 12-7 halftime lead on James Preyer's 2-yard touchdown run and Dennis Daniel's 24-yard field goal. Isaiah Wilson gave the Tigers a brief lead early in the third quarter BIRCH $8Mn.

McDaniel and a 14-yard run by fullback Mike Montz to move into Seminole territory for the first time at the FSU 42. But three big defensive plays returned the advantage to the Seminoles. First, FSU tackle Gary Futch met tailback Eric Mertfh on second down and stopped him for a 2-yard loss. Then linebacker Ron Hester blitzed on third down to sack Risher for a 6-yard loss. Next, junior Warren Hanna blocked James Wagner's punt and Ken Roe recovered it for FSU, scooping the ball up and running to the LSU 15.

Enter Greg Allen once again. After an incomplete pass on first down, Allen took a handoff and scampered around right end into the corner of the end zone without being touched. Allen's touchdown run, which pushed him over the 100-yard mark with 1:05 left in the first quarter, gave FSU a 17-0 lead. The Tigers regained their composure quickly, moving to the Seminole 24 on a 45-yard drive highlighted by runs of 8 and 9 yards by Martin and a 17-yard pass from Risher to tight end Malcolm Scott. However, Risher was sacked on consecutive plays, first by Futch and then by cornerback James Harris, and the Tigers were forced back to the LSU 40 and into a punting situation.

But LSU, averaging 16.4 points per game prior to last night's contest, could not be shut down for the entire half. On the Tigers' next possession, McDaniel beat James Harris down the left sideline on a fly pattern and Risher hit him perfectly in stride. Seventy-six yards later, LSU pulled within 17-7 with 7:59 left in the half. Not to be outdone, FSU came right back with the most impressive drive of th half, moving 89 yards on 16 plays and eating up nearly 7:00 of time crucial to LSU's comeback hopes. Stockstill got it started by rolling left near his own goal line and launching a pass that Phil Williams gathered in for a first down at the Seminole 32.

Four plays later, Bowden took a big gamble as he elected to go for a first down on fourth-and-inches at the FSU 42. Stockstill snuck for the necessary yardage, giving FSU confidence for another fourth-down gamble moments later. On fourth-and-inches at the Tiger 47, Greg Allen took a pitch and dove through a hole on the right side for 2 REAL WOOD PEG PLANK 13.5t 22.9tt FIBERGLASS INSULATION LOWEST LUMBER PRICES OF THE YEAR R-1 1 THICK R1 SUPER -IS THICK 10 12' 14' $2.89 16' DRYWALL L3 2.95 Sheet ASK ABOUT OUR ITEMS GREAT SAVINGS!

On the very next play, Jones, who had rushed seven times for 21 yards previously, crossed behind Stockstill, took a handoff and made the flanker reverse work around the right side for a 30-yard touchdown run. FSU led 31-7 with 6:43 left in the third quarter.

LSU got that touchdown right back on a 70-yard, two-minute drive that ended on a 1-yard sneak by Risher, pulling the Tigers within 31-14 with 4:31 left in the quarter. But just 12 seconds later FSU regained its 24-point lead. Freshman Eilly Allen, no relation to Greg, returned the ensuing kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown. Allen busted through a huge hole right up the middle, then raced untouched down the right side for the final 50 yards to give the Seminoles a 38-14 lead. It was the first kickoff return for a touchdown by an FSU player since Larry Key did it in the 1978 Tangerine Bowl against Texas Tech.

The touchdown play, following a blocked punt, tied the game 15-15 and Al Gardner, who missed an earlier conversion, split the uprights to lift the 6-2 Bulldogs to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference triumph. South Carolina State, defending MEAC champions, improved its conference mark to 4-0, while FAMU dropped to 2-4 overall and 1-2 in conference play.

FAMU's Charles Bevel ran 5 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter and a safety seven minutes later gave the Rattlers a 15-9 lead. But South Carolina State's Thomas Denerson broke through the FAMU line to block a Vincent Coleman punt, giving the Bulldogs the ball at the Rattler 36 andtsettting up the winning touchdown drive. Mungin, a senior from John's Island, S.C., was in the grasp of three FAMU defenders when he threw the touchdown pass to Brown, who fell across the goal line. South Carolina State's starting quarterback, Desmond Gaston, gave the Bulldogs a 6-0 lead when he broke loose for a 77-yard touchdown ruif with 4:30 left in the first quarter. Gardner missed the point after.
