E6-The Post, Sunday, September 20, 1981 Clemson Uses Turnovers To Upset Georgia 13" 3 nws 'a urn. bi xsmn ay vtmmmf ft CZ.W I i '-l Xff. 'Hp ft, Kinard, Clemson's free safety, said before the game that the key to beating Georgia would be stopping Walker before he could hit the holes his linemen would make. The Clemson defense did that as well as could be expected. Walker had several long gainers, including a 21-yard burst that set up Butler's field goal.

But four of the six times he was called upon in third-down situations, Walker came up short. Belue was sacked twice on third-down plays. Once, he dropped the ball as he was raising his arm to pass and Clemson's Bill Smith recovered. Jordan lost one fumble and Clemson wide receiver Frank Magwood gave up the ball after catching a pass deep in Georgia territory. Igwebuike and Bob Paulling, Clemson's other place kicker, each missed a field goal attempt, as did Butler.

Jordan received better protection from his linemen than Belue enjoyed. CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) Georgia coach Vince Dooley said his 4th-ranked Bulldogs, who were upset by Clemson 13-3 yesterday, "were basically an unsound team." That may have been an understatement since Georgia gave up five interceptions and four fumbles. "Anytime you turn the ball over nine times, you are not a sound offensive football team. But you have to give Clemson credit because they had nine takeovers," said Dooley.

"The game was won by the Clemson defense," he added. "They were aggressive, harrassed us, intimidated us and they deserved to win the football game." Dooley said he thought the Bulldogs were prepared but, "as it turned out, we were not poised. We seemed like a rattled football team offensively." Clemson coach Danny Ford told his players after the game, "You did a super job. It hasn't sunk in yet." Ford said the only time Clemson seemed to lose its momentum was in the third period, when the Tigers were held scoreless and Georgia narrowed the score to 10-3 on a 40-yard field goal. Clemson utilized a ball control strategy that worked to perfection, intercepting five passes from Georgia's Buck Belue to dominate the game.

Clemson quarterback Homer Jordan tossed an 8-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Perry Tuttle with 7:13 remaining in the second period SOUT jlTz for the only points the Tigers needed to avenge a 20-16 loss last year to the 1980 national champions. Freshman placekicker Donald Ig-webuike kicked field goals of 39 yards just before half time and 29 yards early in the fourth quarter as Atlantic Coast Conference member Clemson improved its record to 3-0. Georgia's only points came on a 40-yard field goal by Kevin Butler with 11:24 left in the third period. Georgia tailback Herschel Walker was limited to 111 yards rushing on 28 carries well below his season average of 164 yards. Walker also lost two fumbles, including one at the Clemson 17-yard line early in the game.

Five Clemson players Terry Kin-ard, Billy Davis, Rod McSwain, Tim Childers and Anthony Rose intercepted passes by Belue, who completed 12 of 26 throws for 133 yards. Tuttle gained 57 yards on five passes from Jordan, who was 11 of 18 for the game. The loss broke a 15-game Georgia winning streak.

The pass was incomplete and the Tar Heels took over at the 3. Two plays later Bryant scored his second touchdown, this from the two.

Near the end of the half, Bryant scored again on a one-yard dive to cap a 55-yard drive. was the Tar Heel defense that controlled the game.

Miami could only manage 22 total yards in the first half. The Redskins penetrated Tar Heel territory only three times and managed only 178 total yards, mostly against the North Carolina second line players. Three Redskin passes were intercepted.

Quarterback John Bond ruined Vander-bilt's defenses with the bewildering sweeps of halfback Michael Haddix and the bruising thrust of fullback Donald Ray King as 14th-ranked Mississippi State beat the Commodores 29-9 yesterday. Vanderbilt, game but outmanned in the late stages, made a game of it for a half on the passing of quarterback Whit Taylor, but was unable to handle the fleet stable of State runners on the long haul. Haddix sparked State's first possession drive on an 83-yard touchdown march, scoring on an 18-yard sweep after picking up 53 yards on four plays to set it up. State's speed on wide plays, with Bond handling the options to perfection, never let the Commodores get set. After Taylor hit flanker Phil Roach on a three-yard scoring pass just before the quarter, State launched a 88-yard touchdown drive with Bond picking up 65 yards on five runs and King bulling over from the two.

Vandy's only other scoring success came seconds before intermission when the Commodores drove 55 yards Ga 16 40-122 133 2S5 12-26-5 7-44 5-4 2-16 CI IS 57-101 135 236 11-180 7-43 4-2 5-55 First downs Rushes-yards Passing yards Return yards Passes Punts Fumbles-lost Penalties-yards Georgia 0 0 0 10 0-03 3-13 Clemson Clem Tuttle 6 pass from Jordan (Paulling kick) Clem FG Igwebuike 39 Georgia FG Butler 40 Clem FG Igwebuike 29 moved it to the nine. Appold hit Bailie Moorlidge with a 5-yard pass for the score a few plays later. The Tar Heel offense, which sputtered on a number of drives in the first half came alive in the second to put together two long drives behind Bryant's running and Elkins' passing. Elkins finished the afternoon hitting 14 of 24 passes for 174 yards. North Carolina, which had 407 yards in total offense, improves its record to 2-0 while Miami falls to 1-1.

The Tar Heels built a 28-0 lead in drive. Lawrence scored on a 4-yard run with 4:32 left in the second quarter as Tech mounted a 24-3 lead. The Hokies' final first half score was set up by Jerome Pannell, who fell on a fumble by quarterback Chris Garrity on the Indians' 23. Reserve quarterback Jeff Bolton cashed in the turnover when he found Mike Giacolone with a 10-yard scoring aerial 55 seconds before intermission. Gillett Ford intercepted a Garrity pass on the Indians' opening drive of the second half and ran 34 yards for another touchdown.

Casey connected with Giacolone on a 62-yard bomb with 11:20 left in the third period to push Tech's lead to 45-3.

But in the second half, he led a 34-yard scoring drive with his running and then completed it with a surprise play.

With the ball at the Pirate seven, quarterback Tol Avery pitched back to Mcintosh who then launched a pass to Avery, who was all alone Avery went in to score and the point after made it 17-10. East Carolina came back with a drive but it stalled and a 54-yard field goal attempt failed early in the fourth quarter. That's when events turned the Wolfpack way.

(AP) North Carolina tailback Kelvin Bryant ran for 136 yards and scored five touchdowns, leading the lOth-ranked Tar Heels to a 49-7 rout of Miami of Ohio yesterday in a non-conference college football game. Bryant scored on runs of eight, two, one and four yards, and caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Rod Elkins. But while Bryant, who has 347 yards in two games, was scoring his 11th touchdown of the young season, it Alabama Overcomes Kentucky LEXINGTON, Ky.

(AP) "I hope we get better, but we're running out of time to do it," Alabama coach Paul (Bear) Bryant said yesterday after his 12th-ranked Crimson Tide closed with a rush to defeat Kentucky 19-10 in a Southeastern Conference football game. Bryant, who chalked up his 308th career victory to pull within six of Amos Alonzo Stagg's record total, praised the courage of his injury-riddled team, but gave himself poor marks. "I'm disappointed in the job I've done in recruiting and putting them on the field," Bryant said. "I just Watched on the sidelines today. I didn't make any mistakes because I didn't make any decisions." Kentucky coach Fran Curci "had his team well prepared," Bryant added.

"Everything about that game looked like we were right where we wanted to be," said Curci. "We deserved better. We played hard enough to win that game. "Our offense lost it, our defense lost it, our kicking game lost it, or coaches on the sideline lost it. Everybody had a part in that loss, just like everybody would have had a part had we won." The Crimson Tide offense was frustrated most of the game, finally reaching the Kentucky end zone on Jeff Fagan's nine-yard run with 37 seconds to go.

"The big thing is that we scored when we had to," Bryant said. "I'm real proud of the team for winning in the fourth quarter. We had some luck, but I think you make your own luck." The Tide manufactured some unexpected good fortune on the kickoff following Peter Kim's fourth field goal, which had given Alabama a 12-10 lead. The kickoff landed untouched by a Kentucky player and was recovered by Alabama's Stan Gay at, the Wildcat 21. Bryant said his kicker was aiming for the left corner near the end zone.

"We call it a 'safe Bryant said. Kentucky, 1-1, got on the board five seconds into the final quarter on a 48-yard field goal by Rick Strien and drove 61 yards on the passing of Randy Jenkins to take its 10-9 lead.

Wide receiver Rich Hollins, who caught eight passes for 148 yards, recovered a fumbled punt by Lendell Jones on the Maryland 12 with 4:46 remaining. Two plays later, Jonathan Simmons was charged with interference while making an apparent interception in the end zone. Luck's touchdown gave West Virginia its second straight triumph. The Terps, 0-2, took a 13-10 lead early in the fourth period on a two-yard run by Willie Joyner after an illegally kicked loose ball gave Maryland possession at the West Virginia 13.
