By Tim Povtak Iowa No. 1 in AP ap poll OF THE SENTINEL STAFF Shula's satisfied this time 'Great effort' in Denver pleases Miami coach FSU still 4th Sophomore quarterback Kerwin Bell only blushes at the mention now, but if he continues at his present pace SEC or any other team. Arnsparger was responding to an old rumor, revived again over the weekend; on national television. "The rumor started about two years ago, when I first got to LSU. But I am.

happy here at LSU and enjoy what I'm doing." Junior James Massey, who was expected to provide relief for starting tailback Neal Anderson, will be red-shirted and battle for that starting spot next season when Anderson graduates. Massey is still having problems with the wrist he broke in the spring and also has bruised ribs. Despite all the criticism he has received after replac. ing a legend, Alabama's Ray Perkins has won more of his first 27 games than Bear Bryant did in his first 27. Perkins is 17-10.

Bryant was 16-7-4. Last season Bell ranked fourth, trailing Doug Flutie, Robbie Bosco and Bernie Kosar. He completed 98 of 184 passes (53 percent) for 1,614 yards, 16 touchdowns and seven interceptions. After three games this season, he has completed 54 of 79 passes (68 percent) for 806 yards, 10 touchdowns and one interception. Although some people have complained about Florida's home schedule this season, next year will be a different story.

Next season in Gainesville, the Gators play Miami, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Temple and Tulsa.

Little: B-CC better improve in a hurry Iowa, which once set an NCAA record of 19 consecutive nonwinning seasons from 1962-80, is ranked No. 1 in the Associated Press college poll for the first time since 1961. Iowa (3-0) received 35 of 59 first-place votes and 1,111 of a possible 1,180 points from a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters. Oklahoma, which played its first game of the season Saturday, received 13 first-place votes and 1,046 points.

Auburn plummeted from first place to 14th. Florida State remained fourth. Florida was ranked 11th. OHIO STATE CAST OFF. All-America tailback Keith Byars had the cast taken off his broken right foot, but a spokesman said it was doubtful Byars would play in the Buckeyes' next game, Saturday at Illinois.

Byars, who broke his foot during a Labor Day workout, has missed Ohio State's first three games. WOODY'S BETTER. Former coach Woody Hayes was in satisfactory condition at University Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, where he was being treated for congestive heart failure. Hayes, 72, was hospitalized Sunday after experiencing shortness of breath. OKLAHOMA SIDELINED SOONERS.

Full- By Gary Silvers OF THE SENTINEL STAFF pected to play Saturday. i It's not often that a reserve quarterback plays as. many minutes as a starting quarterback, throws three times as many passes and produces twice as much yardage. Such was the case Saturday with UCF quarterback Darin Slack, who completed 13 of 31 passes for The Bethune-Cookman College football team will have little chance of winning its second consecutive Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship if it doesn't improve in a hurry, Wildcats Coach Larry Little said. B-CC (2-1 overall, 1-0 confer back Earl Johnson will be lost for the remainder of the season after reinjuring his kneecap in the Sooners' opener with Minnesota.

Coach Barry Switzer said tailback Spencer Tillman may miss the next four or five weeks because of an injured hamstring. Johnson, a junior, hurt the same kneecap that has been injured twice before. Switzer said surgery will be necessary to repair the damage. FLORIDA KNIGHTON OUT. Guard Stan Knighton of Albany, will not return to the team this season, Coach Rudy Hubbard announced.

Knighton, 6-3, 300, has missed most of the season with a knee injury. Compiled from wire reports FLORIDA 150 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions against Illinois State. Starter Tony Lanham completed 6 of 10 passes for 73 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. "We've got two very good quarterbacks, who can run our offense and we can win with," UCF Coach Gene McDowell said. "I'm trying to give both quarterbacks enough playing time, so that if either one gets hurt, we will have confidence that we can win with the other.

"Tony Lanham is still our starting quarterback. I plan to play Darin each game, but Tony will continue to play most of the game." ence), idle last weekend, will face conference power Delaware State (4-1, 2-0) Saturday. "We won't beat Delaware State playing the way we have been," Little said. "We've got to improve." Little said he is extremely concerned with B-CC's point production. In their last two games, the Division I-AA Wildcats have scored only 37 points playing against a winless Division I-AA team and a Division II team.

Starting running backs James Graham and King Green are bothered by sore knees, but both are ex ii "7 $600 ON MINOLTA EP350 BOND PAPER Small Business and Executive Copier MIAMI It sometimes seems Coach Don Shula would rather have bamboo shoots crammed under his fingernails than praise his Miami Dolphins, but even he couldn't resist a self-satisfied smile Monday following his latest victory. "There were a lot of great efforts out there," Shula said of the Dolphins' 30-26 victory over the Denver Broncos Sunday. "We made the big plays out there offensively and there was continual hustle on defense." Shula also said he was pleased with the Dolphins' ability to battle the elements: numbing 29-de-gree cold and 73,614 rabid Denver fans. "This was a win that will help us later on," Shula said at his weekly news conference. The victory increased the Dolphins' record to 3-1 and kept them in a first-place tie with the New York Jets in the American Conference's Eastern Division.

The Broncos (2-2) fell one game behind the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC's Western Division. It was only the Broncos' second loss in their last 16 home games. Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino passed for 390 yards and three touchdowns and outshined his counterpart John Elway in the much-publicized duel. Marino connected on 25 of 43 passes, including scoring passes of 69 yards to Nat Moore, 24 yards to Joe Rose and 46 yards to Vince Heflin. The touchdown pass to Heflin gave the Dolphins a 27-23 lead in the third quarter, and they never trailed thereafter.

Elway, meanwhile, completed 18 of 37 passes for 250 yards with one interception and no touchdowns. "Marino answered the call every time we needed him," Shula said. "I think he's got that killer instinct back that he had all last year." Marino's sterling performance was achieved largely without the help of his two favorite receivers Mark Duper, who is out with a foot injury, and Mark Clayton, who sustained a sprained ankle early in the third quarter. Running back Tony Nathan, with 10 catches for 120 yards, and veteran receiver Nat Moore, with five catches for 109 yards, picked up the slack without the Dolphins' offense missing a beat. However, Shula said the Dolphins still need work on their running game.

They gained only 53 yards on 22 carries against the Broncos. "The running game is still a major disaster," Shula said. The Dolphins sustained an assortment of bumps and bruises but no serious injuries against the Broncos, Shula said. Clayton's ankle injury is not believed to be serious and he should be ready for Sunday's contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Orange Bowl, Shula said. Lyle Blackwood with a hip injury, Nat Moore who hurt his ankle, knee, and hamstring, also should be ready by Sunday, Shula said.

Mr- jar mm jiSiiiiiMi I MINOLTA Fouts is ready to come back. Herrmann completed 16 of 23( passes for 178 yards and two interceptions in a 21-7 loss to the Cleveland Browns. "Now, knowing going into the game that he Herrmann is it, that he's the quarterback, I think it will make a great deal of difference," Coryell said. "But we are going to have to gather together. We are going to have to play better in all phases of the game." LOS ANGELES RAIDERS DEAL.

Holdout linebacker Jerry Robinson has been acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a high draft choice. Robinson, 29, will report immediately. GREEN BAY PACKERS CLOUDY. The status of quarterback Lynn Dickey remained clouded despite his impressive performance in Sunday's loss to St. Louis.

Dickey, unhappy with the way he has played this season, asked to be sidelined as a starter last week. But Dickey replaced starter Randy Wright in the third quarter with the Packers trailing, 26-0. He threw for three touchdown passes but the Cardinals won, 43-28. Packers Coach Forrest Gregg refused to speculate whether the Packers would have won if Dickey had started. Bennett: Young sits until it's over Tampa Bay Bucs Coach Lee-man Bennett says he isn't panicking but admitted "it is time to win one." The Bucs dropped to 0-4 after losing to the Detroit Lions, 30-9.

Bennett said quarterback Steve Young could see action later in the season if the Bucs are out of playoff contention. Bennett said that Tampa Bay's inability to make the big play on offense and defense has contributed to the losing streak. The Bucs blew several scoring opportunities, and helped the Lions with three turnovers. "We're down but we feel we're better than 0-4," said Bennett, who never lost four consecutive games as coach of the Atlanta Falcons. "But that's what we are." The Bucs run into the Chicago Bears at Tampa Stadium on Sunday.

"They're the best team going right now," Bennett said. Bucs linebacker Jeff Davis, who injured his shoulder against the Lions, is listed as questionable. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS NO LISTING. Quarterback Dan Fouts had knee surgery Sunday night but has not been placed on injured reserve.
