(AP) -Quarterback Larry Rentz com pleted 15 of 20 passes and drove favored Florida to a 27-22 Southeastern Conference victory over Vanderbilt before a record homecoming crowd of 61,855 Saturday.

(AP) -Florida State's Kim Hammond picked Mississippi State's defense apart and tossed three touchdown passes, leading the Seminoles to a 24-12 football victory Saturday night.

Both of Mississippi State's touchdowns came after Bulldog defenders intercepted passes from Gary Pajcic, who relieved Hammond in the third quarter. Top Form Hammond, who had been hampered by a knee injury for the last three weeks, was back in top form and accounted for most of the yardage as Florida State broke a school passing record by gaining 377 yards. The old mark of 355 was set against Villanova in 1954. Unable to get Florida State's running attack rolling, Hammond took to the air in the second quarter for the first of the three touchdown drives. Two receptions by flanker Ron Sellers accounted for 60 after a wild second quarter in which each team tallied two touchdowns and Vanderbilt added a field goal for a 15-14 half-time lead.
