The Tennessee defense was as staunch as it has been all season, but the Owls showed their true colors during a 74-yard, nine-play drive that ended with 4:20 left in the half and cut the Volunteers' lead to 21-10. When wide receiver Rich Drayton gathered in a 10-yard scoring pass from Baker to cap the drive, it was the first touchdown the Vols' defense had allowed in nine quarters. It was also Drayton's first receiving touchdown since 1988, when he caught a pass against Rutgers.

"Temple did not surprise us," said Tennessee coach Johnny Majors, whose team improved to 5-1-2. "They are a good team. They didn't surprise us with their effort or the offense they threw at us." Temple quarterback Anthony Richardson, Baker's understudy, threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to tight end George Deveney with 36 seconds left to account for the Owls' final points. Temple's Bob Wright kicked field goals of 41 and 22 yards, but aside from those four scoring drives, the Vols kept Temple's offense, which was good for 252 yards, bottled up. Berndt wasn't content with the situation.

The Owls kept scratching away, going for broke on fourth-down situations in Tennessee territory, and, in the third quarter, they attempted a fake punt, leaving the Vols with the football at the Owls' 42-yard line. Temple had good intentions and not enough firepower. The Vols, punting only once in the first half, rushed to a 21-3 lead when fullback Roland Poles ran for the first of his three touchdowns, crashing into the end zone from the 1-yard line with 8:39 left in the half. Tennessee's Greg Burke, who kicked field goals of 33 and 23 yards, gave the Vols a 24-10 halftime lead with his first field goal and upped the Volunteers' lead to 27-10 with 11:36 left in the third quarter with his second kick.

The Temple Owls were without their fourth-quarter flourish yesterday. But even if their magic had been with them, it wouldn't have mattered, because the Owls were drenched in the sea of orange jerseys worn by the Tennessee Volunteers and drowned in the fervor of 93,898 rooters at Neyland Stadium. The Vols, one of the nation's elite college football units, methodically cranked out a 41-20 victory over the Owls, who fought frantically for three hours to delay the inevitable. "I thought we gave a good effort," Temple defensive end Kenyatta Rush said. "We expected to come in here and play well.

We wanted to come in here and play hard." In a solemn moment for the Owls, quarterback Matt Baker, whose wizardry and improvisation enabled Temple to take three come-from-be-hind victories this season, left the game after suffering an ankle injury with 8 minutes, 7 seconds left in the third quarter. "Matty is the heart and soul of this football team," said Temple coach Jerry Berndt, whose team fell to 4-4. "It was a key blow to lose our No. 1 quarterback." The Owls were down, 34-13, with 12 minutes left when Baker, his head bowed and his right foot bandaged, was driven off the field in a golf cart. The seriousness of Baker's injury will not be determined until X-rays are taken in Philadelphia today, and his status for Temple's next game will not be known until then.

Temple was left without the man who, in victories over Wisconsin, Virginia Tech and East Carolina, completed 17 of 17 passes in the fourth quarter. But this was a day when Baker's miracles would have fallen short in the final quarter. Because yesterday, the Owls were overmatched. The Volunteers (No. 11 AP), anxiously awaiting the arrival of Notre Dame next Saturday, are top drawer, creme de la creme.

They sell their games by pay-per-view on cable television. And the presence of representatives of several bowl games was conspicuous in the press box. Tennessee was not ready for a letdown. "We knew when we came in here they were a good football team," said Berndt, lamenting the two interceptions that Temple threw and the bad timing of his team's penalties, which added up to 45 yards. "We just couldn't make mistakes.

We made too many mental errors." The Tennessee offense, pushed by a jitterbug of a tailback named Tony Thompson and quarterback Andy Kelly, who completed 15 of 21 passes for 264 yards, atoned for its poor showing two weeks ago in the Volun WE'LL GET YOU Afterward, Paterno's worried look belied the fact his team had won. "We were terrible in the first half, and I thought we played a sloppy game overall," Paterno said. "All this game showed is we've still got a lot of work to do." And a hard decision to make, as well.

After the first half, they were ahead, 14-6 even though they had 67 yards of total offense and the running backs had averaged 1.2 yards a carry. Darren Perry, who had two interceptions, may have given State the feeling this would be a stroll through the West Virginia hills when he picked off quarterback Greg Jones's second pass and returned it 30 yards for a TD just 48 seconds into the game. Mark Johnson's 20-yard field goal brought the Mountaineers to within four at 7-3, and the game bogged down with ineptitude on both sides until Bill hit Smith to give Penn State a 14-3 lead before the half. "It was a quick fade and Tommy put the ball where it had to be," said Smith, who caught five passes for 85 yards.

"Tom came off the bench with a lot of enthusiasm. He put things together when we were struggling. We were a little down and he picked us up." Still, State was in for a brief scare. Brad Carroll's 39-yard field goal on the last play of the half, and Garrett Ford's 11-yard TD run, which capped an impressive 90-yard drive brought the Mountaineers to within two, at 14-12, midway through the third quarter. West Virginia missed the two-point conversion attempt when Penn State's Lee Rubin drilled Jones.

Every practice, I do what I have to do to get better, in case I get called on. And if my job is to encourage Tony or be a cheerleader, then I'll do that, too." Bill completed 7 of 12 passes for 99 yards. He was not intercepted, and he completed three third-down passes that keep drives alive.

Whether that was enough to earn Bill a start next week against Maryland is unclear, because Paterno was not very forthcoming about his quarterback situation. "I don't know yet," Paterno said when asked if Bill had earned the No. 1 position. "He did a good job. I had no plans to take out Tony at all.

But. he looked like he was out of it. When he almost threw that interception, 1 decided to go for a change." Sacca, who had a miserable time against Alabama last week, got the quick hook after completing only 1 of 4 passes. Afterward, the junior from Delran High who progressed week-to-week during the first six games, admitted his confidence is shaken. "I'm not playing with a whole lot of confidence, and I think everyone can see that," said Sacca, whose final pass Slipped through the hands of West Virginia's Kwame Smith at midfield.

Smith had a clear route to the end zone, and Sacca ended the game with a view from the sideline. "I don't like getting pulled like that. It's frustrating, especially in the home stretch of the season. But I Just have to go back to practice and work on things so I can get back to playing as well as I was earlier.
