41 Paris Oct. Illinois marches to 17-13 upset of Ohio St. CHAMPAIGN, 111. (AP) Fullback Thomas Rooks capped a last-minute drive with a 21-yard touchdown run and cornerback Dave Edwards stole two passes, returning one for another score Saturday, to lead No. 19 Illinois to a 17-13 upset victory over sixth-ranked Ohio State.

Trailing 13-10 with 1:43 to play, Illinois took over at its own 17 and quarterback Jack Trudeau marched the team 83 yards, passing to Scott Golden for gains of 24 yards and 22 yards, and then scrambling 16 more yards to set up Rooks' winning score with 1:06 remaining. The Buckeyes, plagued by turnovers all day, lost their final chance to score when Edwards intercepted a pass from third-string OSU quarterback Jim Karsatos. Edwards returned a first-quarter interception 47 yards for the first points of the game and another II- lini interception set up Chris White's second- quarter field goal. But the Illini fumbled twice and were intercepted once in the second half, leading to a 35-yard touchdown run by tailback Keith Byars and a pair of field goals by Paul Allen for a 13-10 Buckeye lead. OSU marched down the field and moved into scoring position once more, but Karsatos was stopped on a fourth-down run at the Illinois 17.

The Illini took over, and Trudeau needed just 37 seconds to provide the winning touchdown. The homecoming crowd swamped the field as the final seconds ticked off and tore down both goal posts to celebrate Illinois' first victory over OSU in 16 years. The last time was Oct. 28,1967 by an identical score. Illinois now is 5-1 for the season and is tied with Michigan at the top of the Big Ten Conference with 4-0 mark.

OSU dropped to 4-2, and 2-2 in the conference. Nebraska 34, Missouri 13 COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Mike Rozier and Irving Fryar scored two touchdowns apiece and Nebraska's defense came up with big plays when it had to Saturday to lead the unbeaten, No. 1 Cor- nhuskers to a 34-13 victory over Missouri. Nebraska, 7-0, fell behind the Tigers in the first half of the nationally televised Big Eight showdown.

But Fryar caught a 38-yard scoring pass from Turner Gill and Mark Schellen scampered 20 yards through the middle of the Missouri defense to give the Huskers a 13-10 lead midway through the second period. Rozier, the NCAA rushing leader, broke loose moments later on a 60-yard scoring gallop to put the Huskers in control. Rozier finished with 159 yards on 24 carries, raising his season total to 1,064. A last-second 30-yard field goal by Missouri's Midwest Brad Burditt sliced Nebraska's halftime lead to 20-10, then the Husker defense twice stopped Missouri inside the 10-yard line in a scoreless but decisive third period. Missouri," 3-3, drove to the Nebraska 10-yard line early in the third period and faced fourth down and less than a yard.

But Eric Drain was stopped for no gain. A moment later, a 45-yard pass play from Marlon Adler to Craig White carried the Tigers to the Husker 8-yard line and a pass interference penalty gave Missouri, trailing by only seven points, a first down on the 1. But Adler was jolted from the ball on the next play and tackle Mike Keeler recovered for Nebraska. Oklahoma 21, Oklahoma St. 20 STILLWATER, Okla.

(AP) Tim Lashar's 46-yard field goal capped an 18-point fourth quarter Saturday that lifted 15th- ranked Oklahoma to a 21-20 college football victory over Oklahoma State. The Sooners, who earlier this week learned that All- America tailback Marcus Dupree had left the team, overcame a 20-3 deficit with two late touchdowns and Lashar's game- winning kick, which came with 1:14 left. Oklahoma improved to 4-2 and 2-0 in the Big Eight Conference. Oklahoma State fell to 4-2 and 0-2. The Sooners nearly handed the Cowboys the game, committing costly turnovers and penalties that allowed Oklahoma State to jump to a 14-3 halftime lead.

Larry Roach added two second-half field goals to balloon the lead to 20-3 with 13:49 left to play, but Oklahoma, rallying behind quarterback Danny Bradley, struck back. Bradley's 73-yard swing pass to Derrick Shepard made it 20-10, and Spencer Tillman's 5-yard 'plunge and a two-point conversion pass from Bradley to Earl Johnson cut the gap to 20-18 with 2:50 left. Oklahoma then successfully executed an on- sides kick, recovering at midfield, and Bradley tossed two quick passes to get the Sooners within scoring range. The drive stalled at the Oklahoma State 28, but Lashar, who had hit just one of three field goal attempts all year, drilled his 46-yarder to complete the comeback. Michigan 35, Northwestern 0 ANN ARBOR, Mich.

(AP) How can a coach be unhappy after a 35-0 victory? It's easy, especially if the coach is Michigan's Bo Schembechler and the vanquished football team is lowly Northwestern. "The defense played well and the offense didn't," Schembechler grumped after his 13th-ranked Wolverines had outmuscl- ed the Wildcats in a Big Ten game. "We did not improve on offense. We regressed. We didn't block, we didn't run, we didn't complete passes.

"You don't need any analyst to tell you that. We were just bad." Senior quarterback Steve Smith, playing less than three full quarters, ON THE RUN Oklahoma tailback Alvin Ross (25) cuts up- field for a nine-yard gain during the second quarter against Oklahoma St. Oaklahoma St. led in the fourth quarter, but Oklahoma won with a field goal in the final two minutes.

Iowa recovered from an early 7-point deficit to beat Purdue for only the second time in 23 years and send its record to 5-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big Ten. Purdue fell to 1-4-1 and 1-2-1. Purdue put together two long scoring drives to take a 14-7 lead, but the Hawkeyes 1 defense stiffened after that and Iowa, sparked by Smith's punt return, dominated the rest of the game.

An interception by Mike Stoops set up a 47-yard field goal by Tom Nichol that gave Iowa a 17-14 lead with 6:27 left in the first half. Less that four minutes later, Smith fielded a punt at his own 45, started running up the middle, then cut to his left and raced into the end zone to put the Hawkeyes on top 24-14. Gill, who had a two-yard scoring run in the first quarter, scored the game- clinching touchdown on a one-yard run with 1:35 left in the third quarter, capping an 82-yard, 12-play drive. Purdue drove into Iowa territory four times after that, but the Hawkeye defense repelled each threat. Purdue's Scott Campbell directed the Boilermakers on scoring drives of 67 and 80 yards in the first half.

He capped the first march with a one-yard sneak to Purdue ahead 7-0 and passed 12 yards to Marty Scott for a 14-7 lead less than a minute into the second quarter. Gill's two-yard run capped a 90-yard drive that tied the score 7-7 and Chuck Long scored on a five-yard run on a quarterback draw out of the shotgun formation 'to com plete an 80-yard march and tie the score 14-14 with 11:24 left in the first half.

(AP) -Jonnie Jones raced 66 yards with three minutes remaining to cap a wild offensive Shootout as Tennessee upset No. 11 Alabama 41-34 in a Southeastern Conference football game Saturday.

Jones long run ended a game filled with big plays as the Vols downed the Crimson Tide for the second year in a row after halting an 11-game losing streak in the series last year. Alan Cockrell had carried the Vols throughout the day until Jones' game- winning run. Cockrell accounted for four touchdowns, three on passes covering long yardage, and the Vols ultimately gained a 34-34 deadlock with 8:45 remaining on a 37-yard field goal by Fuad Reveiz. Cockrell, who passed for 292 yards, connected with Lenny Taylor on an 80-yard scoring bomb on Tennessee's first play of the game and fired two second half scoring passes to Clyde Duncan, the first covering 80 yards on a screen and the second going for 57 yards. Cockrell also scored on a 5-yard run and Reveiz contributed an earlier 28-yard field goal.

Walter Lewis, who broke Alabama's career total offense record in the game, and freshman Ken Goode turned in the major work for the Crimson Tide. North Carolina 42, N. Carolina St. 14 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Third-ranked North Carolina's offensive arsenal, guided by Scott Stankavage, unleashed a powerful second-half blast Saturday and left arch- rival North Carolina State in its wake.

Mired in a 14-14 halftime tie, Stankavage fired two second-half scoring passes and tailback Ethan Horton rushed for 111 yards on 15 carries and two more scores as the unbeaten Tar Heels raised their record to 7-0 with a 42-14 victory. "Our offense is pretty high-powered with a lot of weapons in it," Stankavage said. "If we don't stop ourselves, we feel good about our chances of having good things happen." Stankavage helped change North Carolina's fortunes when he fired a 19-yard scoring pass to Mark Smith on the opening drive of the third period. He also tossed a 25-yard touchdown pass to Earl Winfield with 10:44 left to play. Although he is the NCAA's third most efficient passer, Stankavage gave a lot of the credit to people like Smith and Winfield.

Woodside kicked a 35-yard-field goal in the second quarter and added a 31-yarder with 3:50 left in the game.

That's when Campbell took over, directing a 13-play, 78-yard drive that put Auburn on top 14-13. Campbell carried the ball himself four times in the drive, gaining 28 yards and scoring the touchdown on a 2-yard run. But even when he wasn't running, Campbell's excellent ball handling in Auburn's Wishbone offense kept Tech defenders gasping for air.

Cleveland said Switzer advised that "it permissible for USM to talk to Dupree." However, he said, Carmody also said that Southern Mississippi had a game tonight at Memphis State "and this is the only thing on my mind right now. There is a possibility we could be talking with Marcus again next week but as I indicated to the player and his mother, my first obligation now concerns the game in Memphis."
