The Orangemen, 27-point underdogs to top-ranked Ohio State, took a stunning 21-9 halftime lead against the vaunted Buckeyes in the opener for both schools before 86,643 fans in Ohio Stadium. But sparked by All-America quarter- back Art Schlichter, the Buckeyes rallied from a 21-3 second-quarter deficit and reality took over as Ohio State won, 31-21.

"Whew," sighed Ohio State Coach Earle Bruce. "Our game plan didn't call for coming from behind, I'll tell you that." The Buckeyes trailed at the half, 21-9. Schlichter, a junior Heisman Trophy Tight end catches 7 passes Sid or, SU leave their mark candidate, rebounded from two interceptions in the first half to finish with 71 yards rushing and 107 yards passing. He scored one touchdown and passed for another as Ohio State finally overtook Syracuse at 24-21 with 4:39 remaining in the third quarter. "I don't think we took Syracuse too lightly," Schlichter told a crowded interview room after the game, which wds played in muggy 85 degree weather.

"First games are made for mistakes, and we made them. We also corrected those mistakes, and we won. "Syracuse confused us early with a lot of different formations and shifts. But once we got down to business, we took it to them." Yet just as the Buckeyes were proud of their recovery, so were the Orange for giving the nation's No. 1 -ranked team a scare.

Included among Sidor's receptions was a screen pass that went for a 21 -yard touchdown. It shot SU to a quick 7-0 lead. "I couldn't believe it," Sidor said in the steamy Syracuse locker room. "I looked around and there were no red jerseys.

So I waltzed over the goal line." The play, on a third-and-seven situation, caught the highly-regarded Buckeye defense napping. Warner looked left and then fired to his right. The pass was tipped. "I stumbled as I caught it." Sidor said. the loss on an injury suffered by quarter back Gary Esposito.

"George (Rau) has been in situations like this before," Stark said. "And he saved us three or four times last year." Esposito, who scheduled to start until spraining an ankle in practice Wednesday; played in the second half. He completed two of five passes and was interecepted once. He also tried to run the ball three times and gained a total of one yard. Rochester's deepest penetration was to the Brockport seven-yard line with first down and goal to go, but the Eagles' defense, led by Mike Mormino (11 tackles) and Jeff Quartaro of Geneva (9 tackles) pushed the Yellowjackets back to almost midfield.

"Basically we want to throw to Tony a lot this season," said Warner, who has taken took over for the graduated Bill Hurley. "He's got great hands and he's fast."

"I didn't think there was any special determination for this game," he said. For linebacker Rick Willett, a junior from Eastridge, beating Rochester was special enough.

He paraded proudly around the Eagles' dressing room with a piece of UR quarterback George Rau's No. 12 jersey, a souvenier of a crunching sack that helpd the Eagles forget the other losses to UR. The series started in 1949 when the Eagles scored the most points, but still lost, 26-23. "It was good hitting out there," Willett said, and then thought a moment, "but I think we hit harder last year in losing-" This game became a combination of a tough Brockport defense that held Rochester to 41 yards on the ground 77 passing, and two spectacular plays, One was a 63-yard interception return for TD by cornerback Paul Chapman of Penn Yann in the second period' and the other was a 62-yard pass play from quarterback Tim BrunelhTtb Roy Volitan in the third period that put it away for Brockport with a 20-0 edge and ended a 74-yard drive for the Eagles in four plays. Chapman ran alone along the right side after intercepting a poor Rau pass at the Rochester 37.

awanna overcomes By RUDY MARTZKE DAC Sportswrlttr COLUMBUS, Ohio A year ago, Syracuse's football team was embarrassed in the same stadium before more than 86,000 witnesses, 31-8. Tony Sidor and his teammates weren't about to let that happen again yesterday. So they blitzed the top-ranked Buckeyes, took a 21-3 lead in the second quarter, and went down fighting, 31-21. In the center of the action was Sidor, the senior from East Rochester. The 6-foot-3, 233-pound tight end caught a game-high seven passes from quarterback Dave Warner for a game- Brockport, which used all 73 healthy players who dressed, scored with 3:04 remaining in the first half when Brun-elle, who was 9-for-15 (one interception), hit split end Gordie Glose with a six-yard flea-flicker that caught the UR off guard in the end zone.

The first touchdown culminated a 53-yard drive in 16 plays by the Eagles (1-1), including some fancy running by Reggie Cox (35 yards in 9 carries) and Dave Cotter (41 yards, 13 carries). Still, Sims didn't think, "We did everything we can do. They didn't let us throw on early downs as we had hoped." Not being able to put the game-plan into action was also a problem for losing Coach Pat Stark, who refused to blame photo by Kevin Higley setting up team second TD. Even then, it wasn't easy. Fog became an occasional menace.

Three earlier defeats already have cost Clyde its fall girls' soccer and programs turnouts were so low that plans to field varsity teams were scrapped. There's a chance the budget will go down again. But if it does, Clyde Coach and Athletic Director Nick DerCola has an unplayed ace up his sleeve. He says he's lined up 24 individuals who are ready to chip in $100 apiece so that the football team can cover the projected $2,380 in expenses it will incur this season.

These sports boosters would turn the donation over to the Clyde school board, which, if everything goes according to plan, would in turn hand it over to the football team. Even Victor Coach Ron Cianfoni, amid lamenting missed tackles and opportunities squandered against the superior Golden Eagles, took time out to give DerCola and Clyde's team his verbal support in their seemingly endless, day-in, day-out fight for their football lives.

From Clyde-Savannah's viewpoint, it was a perfect way to start the 1980 high school football season. Now, the coaches and players on the defending Finger Lakes East Divison champions hope yesterday's lopsided victory at Victor won't double as a perfect ending. As soon as the game clock wound down to zero, Clyde-Savannah running back Steve Johnson went through the handshake line, then headed over to the stands behind the Clyde bench.
