(AP) Rutgers won the battle but Alabama won the war. "We didn't beat Rutgers, that's for sure," Alabama Coach Bear Bryant said Saturday after his No. 1 team squeaked past the previously unbeaten and previously unheralded Scarlet Knights 17-13. "We just got more points than they did," the 67-yard-old coach continued after recording his 301st career triumph, 13 short of Amos Alonzo Stagg all-time mark. "I think they beat us and we won." Alabama held off the fired up Scarlet Knights, thanks to consecutive passes of 23 and 49 yards from Don Jacobs to world class sprinter James Mallard in the third period.

They were Alabama's first two completions and the second one produced a touchdown and the decisive points. Bryant called Rutgers "the best prepared team against us we've seen in a long, long time. They have tremendous spirit. We really wanted to win. They were having a good time and we weren't having much fun." It was Alabama's first trip to the New York City area in 41 years and the Crimson Tide barely managed to survive a near-fatal mugging.

"We are very happy to get out of here with that score," Bryant said. "We've got seven toughies coming up, they tell me, but I don't think they'll be any tougher than this one." Although both teams brought 4-0 records into the contest, Alabama's two-time national college football champions were three-touchdown favorites. But before extending the nation's longest winning streak to 26 games, the Crimson Tide withstood a fourth-period scare when Mike Clements sacked Rutgers quarterback Ed McMichael for a 13-yard loss at the Alabama 45 with less than seven minutes remaining. The cat-quick Alabama defense sacked McMichael six times for 71 yards in losses. Clements' sack turned out to be a big one because Rutgers Coach Frank Burns disdained a two-point conversion try after chopping Alabama's lead to 17-12.

Had the Scarlet Knights been behind only 17-14, they were within kicker Alex Falcinelli's field goal range before Clements broke through to nail McMichael. "I blew it," Burns admitted. "I should have gone for two points, no doubt about it." The touchdown pass to Mallard at 6:54 of the third quarter gave Alabama a 17-6 lead and offset McMichael's 9-yard scoring toss to Albert Ray five minutes later after middle guard Ed Steward recovered a fumble by Jacobs at the Tide 24. Alabama's other scores came in Peter Kim's game-tying 23-yard field goal in the first period and Billy Jackson's 6-yard touchdown plunge in the second quarter. Kim's field goal tied the score at 3-3 after Alabama found itself trailing for the first time this season when Rutgers' Alex Falcinelli kicked a 44-yard field goal midway through the opening period.

Falcinelli's 39-yard field goal late in the second period accounted for Rutgers' other points. Bulldogs stop Rebels ATHENS, Ga. (AP) Third team tailback Carnie Norris scored one touchdown and rambled for 150 yards on 15 carries to overshadow celebrated teammate Herschel Walker as sixth-ranked Georgia defeated Mississippi 28-21. Norris, a sophomore, scored on a 1-yard plunge in the second quarter, a touchdown he set up with a 41-yard run, and contributed a 20-yard jaunt to the Ole Miss 11, setting up the goal by freshman Ron Rice with 7:21 left in the period. Duncan's 40-yard field goal gave the Vols the lead again with 13:08 left to play and followed an apparent 42-yard TD run by Hancock that was wiped out by a clipping penalty.

Tennessee then held the Yellow Jackets, forcing a punt, and the Vols drove to the Tech 38, where Duncan hit his 55-yarder, the second longest I Villanova 23, Cincinnati 4 Wanner 30, Hotstra 17 Wrsleven 27, Bates 0 W. Virginia St. 14, West Liber- 7 W. Virginia Tech 10. W.
