FIRST EDITION BIST AVAILABLE COH Tucson, Sunday, September 1, 1996 (Dif Arizona TJaili, Slar Section Page Nine Tennessee gains 473 yards in big rout of UNLV SOUTH The Associated Press KNOXVILLE, Term. Peyton Manning threw for 298 yards and a touchdown in little more than a half yesterday, and No. 2 Tennessee opened its season with a 62-3 victory over UNLV. With a school-record crowd of 106,212 in newly expanded Neyland Stadium, the Vols jumped on the Rebels in the first half 35-3 and pulled away with two touchdowns in the first 3:17 of the third quarter. The Vols gained 473 yards and scored twice on fumble recoveries.

UNLV was held to 184 yards. Manning, 18 of 24 with one interception, played only one series in the second half. A 31 -yard pass to Joey Kent keyed a 72-yard drive ending with the second of Mark Levine's two short TD runs for a 42-3 lead. Just 22 seconds later, Al Wilson jarred a completed pass loose from Dahrin Footman, and the Vols' Terry Fair scooped it up and ran 47 yards to score. That made it 49-3 with 11:43 left in the third quarter and sent Manning and the rest of the starters to the sidelines for the night.

Kent caught six passes for 151 yards and a touchdown, a 63-yarder from Manning on Tennessee's second possession. It was Kent's school-record 19th career touchdown pass. No. 4 Florida 55, S.W. Louisiana 21 GAINESVILLE, Fla.

Florida's defense stole the show from Danny Wuerffel and the Fun 'N' Gun offense, setting a school record with four touchdowns. Cornerback Fred Weary returned a fumble 64 yards and an interception 65 yards for touchdowns for the Gators, who were playing their first game since Nebraska embarrassed them 62-24 in the Fiesta Bowl. Wuerffel, who finished third in Heisman Continued from Page 1C SJthey'd release me and go with players who had never been in jthe organization," Kellner said. don't feel I've ever done any-rthing to warrant not getting a Chance to play." Tolman, having managed Kellner at Tucson and Double-A Jackson, had trouble disagreeing. Yes, Kellner doesn't have blaz-oiing speed.

He doesn't hit for SJpower. But he might just about everything else, including hav-Qng pitched a scoreless inning "once this season. Kellner also has i ran impressive baseball pedigree -Sxrth his father and uncle were Smajor-leaguers. "He's just an amazing guy," Tolman said. vHe comes out, and ijthe does everything you ask for.

never misses signs, never misses a cutoff, he's always in the game. I wouldn't rule him out of being in our organization again next year." But for two days this year, Kellner wasn't in the Fortunately for him, infield-er Ray Holbert injured his hamstring during the Toros' final exhibition Kellner was offered a contract that was for all of two weeks. The fight wasn't over yet. Kell- ner survived April only by going on the disabled list twice for extremely minor injuries, meaning "'he was close to another release, and he never really overcame unsecured feeling. Pressing too hard, Kellner was putting .186 on June 10.

"In the back of my mind," big plays to help Maryland avoid a shocking upset against a team that last year went 3-8 and gave up at least 42 pointsyn six games. Freshman Harold Westley got Maryland's final touchdown on a 7-yard run with 3:47 remaining. Mississippi 38, Idaho St. 14 OXFORD, Miss. Artie waited four seasons for a chance to start, rushed for 88 yards and three touchdowns for Mississippi.

Moore had two 1-yard scores in the first half, and added a 5-yard TD in the fourth quarter. The former Mississippi prep star signed with LSU but then transferred back to his home-state university, seeing limited action last year after not playing for two seasons. Louisville 38, Kentucky 14 LEXINGTON, Ky. Linebacker Tony Esters' two blocked punts in the first half Jed to scores, sparking Louisville to Kentucky freshman quarterback Tim Couch, last year's national high school Player of the Year, entered the game in j-he third quarter and tossed a 20-yard touch-down pass to Isaac Curtis III. He was 8of .20 for 101 yards.

Louisville's defense was the difference after Kentucky took a quick 7-0 No. 16 Auburn 29, Alabama-Birmingham 0 AUBURN, Ala. Junior college transfer Jaret Holmes made all five of his field goal attempts including kicks of 46, 47 ahd 50 yards to lead Auburn to victory oer Division I-A newcomer Alabama-Birmingham. 1 I UAB was playing football at the cljib level just six seasons ago and before this game was thought by many to be among the worst of the 109 teams in Division IiA. Trophy voting last year when he set an NCAA record with a 178.4 pass efficiency rating, was 5 of 13 in the first quarter.

No. 11 Miami 30, Memphis 7 MEMPHIS, Term. The Hurricanes struggled offensively before beating Memphis. Playing a day after starting tailback Danyell Ferguson and wide receiver Yatil Green were suspended, Miami had trouble hanging onto the ball with several dropped passes and four turnovers. Miami benched Ferguson and Green on Friday while the university tries to conclude an investigation into charges that the players spent two nights in a limousine ordered by a sports agent's office.

No. 13 Alabama 21, Bowling Green 7 BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Curtis Alexander rushed for 63 yards and a touchdown in a sluggish season-opening performance by Alabama. Alexander showed why he beat out 1995 rushing leader Dennis Riddle for the tailback job by heacllining two of Alabama's three scoring drives. Freddie Kitchens handled the bulk of Alabama's quarter-backing duties, although backup Warren Foust did drive the Tide 67 yards for a second-quarter touchdown.

N. Carolina 45, Clemson 0 CHAPEL HILL, N.C. North Carolina's defense handed Clemson its first season-opening shutout in 22 years, and Chris Keldorf began his Tar Heels career with two touchdown passes. The margin of victory was the most by either team in the 45-game series and the most points scored by North Carolina. Brian Simmons was the defensive hero The Associated Press Southern Miss receiver Eddie Shaw eludes Georgia cornerback Glenn Ford.

for the Tar Heels. The junior linebacker recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass, setting up 10 North Carolina points and a 17-0 lead. Southern Mississippi 11, Georgia 7 ATHENS, Ga. The Jim Donnan era at Georgia got off to a disastrous start as the Bulldogs were upset by Southern Mississippi on three Johnny Lomoro field goals and a safety. i' Southern Miss, an 11-point underdog, pulled off another season-opening shocker against a new Southeastern Conference coach, matching its 27-24 win over Alabama and Gene Stallings in 1990.

Maryland 30, N. Illinois 7 COLLEGE PARK, Md. Delbert Cow-sette's 49-yard fumble return for a touchdown helped Maryland rally from a surprising 23-point halftime deficit.

The obstacles' continued, and still Kellner refused to quit. The Astros brought Melvin Mora up from Jackson, and he took infield time away.

Then Kary Bridges appeared. More playing time lost. f4 At one point in late July, Kellner. began a 16-game hitting streak that, thanks to bench time, xtook 22 games. It was extended v-four times when Kellner did not The unusual streak was "draped in such obscurity that n-even Tolman didn't know about it until Aug.

9, 15 games into the streak, when he perused the Al-sbuquerque Dukes' pre-game me-; dia notes. Maybe it was a jinx that Tolman found out." Getting a rare start as a leadoff man against Vancouver the next week, Kellner went 0 for 4 to end the streak. But by then, Kellner had resurrected his season. Kellner hit .400 during the streak, .339 overall in July, and his average was .272 entering last night, nearly 100 points higher than his "midseason mark. The improvement should help Kellner's case this off-season, when he will become a minor-vleague free agent.

But Kellner says he is leaning toward return- ing to the Astros and Tucson next year if he knows he will be kept around. "I can never complain about how Houston treated me, because they gave me an opportu-2nity to play, and a chance to move up in the organization," Kellner "If it comes down Tto they giving me an offer, may- be we'll sit down and clear up what they are going to do with me, and we'll go from there." -ti Besides, if there weren't a Kellner around Hi Corbett Field next year, something would be missing. Kellner signed in 1989 out of an Astros' tryout camp at Hi Corbett, the same place where his uncle's father pitched a no-" hitter on the night of then-Ran-dolph Park's dedication in the 1920s. Kellner's uncle, Alex, also de--i- buted professionally in Tucson with the 1941 Cowboys of the Texas-Arizona League, eventually t. reaching the major leagues along with Walt Kellner, Frank's father.

Although Alex Kellner passed away on May 2, Walt Kellner still frequents Hi Corbett every game night to watch his son.
