"We just made too many mistakes. You can't make those kinds of The Associated if ess was thwarted by big defensive plays by Florida. Early in the foruth quarter, LSU's defense forced Florida to punt from its own 11-yard ljne' and a Tiger partially blocked the punt But sophomore Eugene McDaniel tried to field it at the Gator 26, fumbled, and Lomas Brown recovered for Florida. With 1:45 to play, LSU got the ball on its own 44, but on the first play, Marshall picked off Risher's pass and brought it back 18 yards to the Tiger 26.

Two plays later, Jones ran 22 yards to the 1- yard line, and he went over for the night's final score two plays later. has a lot of promise." Brian Clark booted three field goals, and James Jones ran for a pair of touchdowns to give the Gators an overall 3-2 record. Pell had to give a special thanks to sophomore linebacker Wilber Marshall, who came up with three big defensive plays, including a late fourth-quarter interception that set up Florida's final touchdown. The 6-foot-l sophomore recovered a fumble that set up one of Clark's field goals and had a third-quarter sack that stalled an LSU drive. "We did some things well, but not enough of yards and three first downs in the second half until Marshall intercepted a pass and ran it back to the Tiger 28 to set up the clinching touchdown.

Alan Risher threw an 11-yard scoring pass to Orlando McDaniel for LSlFs lone touchdown in the final minutes of the second quarter, and the Tigers' other points came on a 36-yard field goal by David Johnston late in the third quarter. Clark's three field goals gave him a career total of 34, shattering the old Gator mark of 33 set by David Posey, whoo played from 1973 to 1976. Behind Risher's passing, LSU threatened to come back several times in the second half, but mistakes and win." Clark, who missed four field goals as Florida lost 24-7 to LSU a year ago, hit from 39 yards, 30 yards and 22 yards in the first quarter to give the Gators a 9-0 lead. Jones ran 2 yards for a touchdown late in the second quarter, and added another on a 1-yard run with 30 seconds to go. Florida is now 3-2 and 1-1 in the Southeastern Conference.

Missed opportunities plagued LSU, 2-3 and 0-2, all night. BATON R9UGE, Ciarley Pell called it the most gratifying victory Saturday night after his Florida teim toppled Louisiana State 24-10 in a tough defensive Southeastern Conference tarns. "I think otf playetnve so much tonight," Pell said. Fldrjfla evened its SEC record at 1-1. "I never hatda victory so gratifying as this one against LSU.tf "It wasn't iieasy victory.

Coach (Jerry) Sto-vall did a good jib of getting his team ready. LSU i Revived Clemson rips UK 21-3 Miami crushes Vatid team we've played to date. Their de- fense is equally as good as Alabama's and their front four is the best I've seen." In the Clemson locker room, Ford told his players, "This game should help you 1 ,000 percent. You and I know how good you can be when you play with emotion." Mack got the Tigers rolling with 9:02 remaining in the third quarter by dash ing 11 yards off right tackle to put Clem- -son ahead 7-3.

We didn't block their blitz, but then they didn't have to blitz." Kentucky's downfall could be partly attributed to a running game that produced only 49 yards on the day. The Clemson blitz, however, had much to do with the low rushing total, since Kentucky quarterback Randy Jenkins was sacked four times for 58 yards in losses. Curci said Jenkins "did a real good job under tremendous pressure." Curci also singled out wide receiver Rick Massie, who caught seven passes for 107 yards, for praise. McSwain, meanwhile, fueled Clem-son's ground game, which produced 223 yards. McSwain carried 20 times for 107 yards, including a three-yard run for the Tigers' final touchdown.

Curci said Clemson was "the best Statistics, Page 14 The Associated Press LEXINGTON, Ky. Clemson coach Danny Ford said his 14th-ranked Tigers trailed Kentucky 3-0 at halftime because they "didn't play a lick in the first half." But the Tigers roared to life after intermission Saturday, with Kevin Mack, Homer Jordan and Chuck McSwain running for touchdowns in Gemson's 21-3 victory over the Wildcats. "Kentucky did a good job in the first half and shut off our offense completely," Ford said. "Clemson played like Clemson is supposed to play in the second half. We blocked well.

We changed the blocking only on one play." "Clemson is a better football team," said Kentucky coach Fran Curci, whose team lost its third straight game. "We couldn't stop them. We didn't play well McSwain, the workhorse of the Tiger backfield, ended a 93-yard drive with a 3-yard scoring run with 2.48 remaining -in the game. Kentucky's lone score was a 40-yard field goal by Tom Griggs at 6:54 of the first quarter. iff i Tigers turn ball over seven times Nebraska beats Auburn 17-3 AP Nebraska running back Mike Rozier tries to leap to a score in the first quarter against Auburn and is stopped by Auburn linebacker Chris Martin, 43.

Nebraska took advantage of two fumble recoveries deep in Auburn territory to record a 17-3 non-conference college football victory Saturday.

Cornhusker defensive end Jimmy Williams helped break a 3-3 third-quarter deadlock in the rain-soaked contest when he forced and recovered Auburn quarterback Charles Thomas' fumble at the Tiger 4-yard line. The recovery set up a 3-yard Roger Craig touchdown just 45 seconds after Nebraska kicker Kevin Seibel tied the game with a 39-yard field goal. Auburn had carried a 3-0 lead into the second half on a 52-yard Al Del Greco field goal on Aubun's first possession in the first quarter. Nebraska quarterback Turner Gill added an insurance touchdown with 3:51 left in the game after teammate Jeff Krejci recovered an Auburn fumble at the Tiger 8-yard line. Gill went in from 8 yards out three plays later.

The Nebraska defense swarmed Auburn throughout the contest, keeping the Tigers in the hole. Only twice did Auburn start drives outside its own 20-yard line and the Tigers began inside their 10 on five separate occasions.

The Hurricanes also scored everytime they had the ball in the first quarter.

Brodsky caught six passes for 118 yards and Rodrigue snared five for 90 yards. Sophomore wide receiver Lawrence Thompson set up the Hurricanes' next score when he took the ball on a reverse play at the Vanderbilt 45 and scampered 40 yards to the 5. a touchdown to cap a 58-yard drive early in the third period.

Kelly ran 2 yards for a touchdown later in the third quarter and Miami's Mark Rush completed the Hurricanes scoring with a 1-yard plunge in the fourth quarter.
