LSU 11, KSU By Al Richard Daily World Sports Writer BATON ROUGE They're no longer known as Chinese. But the Bandits are still out in full force. LSU's defense, sparked by big-play efforts by Al Richardson and Ramsey Dardar, provided a second straight bone-crushing effort Saturday night here in Tiger Stadium. And the Bayou Hengals finally eliminated the goose egg on the scoreboard as the Tigers made Kansas State's 21-0 loser in the Wildcat's season opener before a crowd of 75,405. RICHARDSON SET up LSU's first two touchdowns with fumble recoveries, while Dardar was menacing in pouncing on one loose football and blocking a Wildcat field goal attempt.

The defensive unit, in an effort to stress the importance of stopping the opposition, took on the nickname Bandits before the year, a remembrance of LSU's national championship season and the famed Chinese Bandits. The Bandits recorded their first shutout as they helped lift Jerry Stovall to his first hand coaching victory. The four turnovers forced by the Tiger defensive troops were just the standout plays in a game which had the Bandits limit the Wildcats to 19 rushing yards. In addition to the turnovers, the Bandits were also successful in holding Kansas State four times inside the LSU one-yard line in the first half, and peeping the Cats backed inside their own 10 in the fourth quarter once, forcing a punt from the end zone leaving LSU with good field position and a chance at a third TD. Kansas State finished with 160 yards in total offense, using a 141-yard passing effort to get the majority of that total.

The Tiger defense limited the Cats to 19 net dozen, count 'em 12, unassisted tackles. He also had four assists and the two fumble recoveries. DARDAR HAD only four unassisted stops and three assists, but three of his stops were behind the line of scrimmage. He had a fumble recovery and blocked field goal, but the Tigers could capitalize on neither of his turnovers. "We're said all along the defense would have to set the tempo for this team, and as a whole, the defense set the tempo tonight," a relieved Stovall remarked after his first coaching win.

"I feel the goal line defense (in the second quarter) showed the real character of our football team," he added. Refering to the initial win, Stovall commented "it's a whole lot different than the first loss. It's been 18 years coming and we got magnticant effort from our coaches, staff, and players." Alan Risjier engineered two TD drives, while Bobbie Mahfouz was at the helm for the final score. "I was very pleased with our quarterback play," Stovall said. "We worked hard to eliminate mistakes after last week's game, and any time you shut down the other team you've done a good job." KANSAS STATE head coach Jim Dickey claimed "on film LSU didn't look that strong.

I guess Florida State made them look that way." Dickey also felt the Tigers' offense wasn't that impressive. "Their offense didn't do much better than ours," he claimed. "They've got a long way to go offensively." The Cat boss felt his team "didn't have any consistency at all. It's hard to get moving when you put the ball on the ground as much as we did."

Favored by as much as 10 to 27 points before kickoff, ECU sped to a 7-3 lead at halftime, but four of the five third quarter fumbles led to USL touchdowns and the second straight win for new head coach Sam Robertson in as many games. USL's last score came with 14 09 on a Larry Trussell field goal, and led at that point, 27-7. However, the Pirates refused to give up the ship, and tallied twice in the final six minutes to make things interesting.

"We're very elated that we won the ball game," smiled Robertson after his team became only the third in eight years to beat the Pirates on their home field. "Our kids hit hard and turned the ball over. That's what won the game for us." TWO OF THOSE three Picklen Stadium opponent wins have been claimed by USL, and Robertson went back to the basics for his explanation of what turned the upset for the Cajuns. "When you come right down to it, you win football games with being tough and disciplined. That's the way our kids were," added Robertson.

"The team never gave in, never left the game plan and never did anything that their coaches didn't tell them not to do. They played a tough, steady game, and that's what I'm proud of," 11.

"THE BIG PLAYS don't win football games sometimes," Robertson added. "It's the tough, steady plays all night long that win it." USL quarterback Phil Reynolds completed 10 of 24 passes for 127 yards and three touchdowns, but his longest throw was only for two dozen markers.

Doug Waddell caught three for 58 yards, while Opelousas' David Chat-man was the leading rusher for USL, with 36 yards on seven carries. Pirate quarterback Carlton Nelson fumbled four snaps from center, but was the game's total offense leader with 74 yards rushing and another 108 passing on 12 completions in 21 attempts. ED EMORY, the ECU head coach, felt that, "We didn't control the line of scrimmage in the third quarter. We had a center-quarterback exchange problem. We did the things that looked like opening game jitters." Emory complained, "We didn't do the things we said we were going to do, like protect the football, win on defense, kicking game and the offensive line.

I've never seen a football team play such hard defense and get 27 points scored' on it. I thought the defense played with great character and great stickability." USL end Handy Thomas had nine tackles to lead USL's defense, while Ronnie Nunez, the strong safety, and linebacker, Danny Williams had similar amounts. USL'S WIN marked the first time since 1977 the Cajuns have started the season off with two straight wins. But, the win over East Carolina ranks as one of USL's biggest. This was only the third meeting between the two schools but the Cajuns' first win over the Pirates.

East Carolina pinned defeats on the Cajuns by a 9-7 margin in 1977 and by the score of 38-9 in 1978. Rookie head coach Robertson, makes no bones USL's two straight win gives the Cajuns momentum.

STANFORD, Calif. (UPI) John Elway completed a 24-yard touchdown pass to All-America wide receiver Ken Margerum with 38 seconds left to play Saturday, lifting Stanford to a 19-14 victory over Tulane. It was the second victory of the season in as many starts for the Cardinals and the second loss without a victory for Tulane. Stanford was a 10-point favorite and seemingly had the game won 13-7 when Nickie Hall, a scatter-armed quarterback, completed three long passes to Robert Griffin and put the Green Wave on top for the first time in the game 14-13. Stanford began its winning drive with 1:58 remaining and Elway and Margerum, who earlier combined on a 20-yard scoring pass, made it pay off in a dramatic victory before a season home opening crowd of 54,829.

The two touchdowns gave Margerum a career total of 24 and set a Pacific-10 Conference record, beating the old mark of 22 which the Stanford star shared with Hugh Campbell of Washington State and Wesley Walker Tulane 7 7-14 Stanford 7 1 1 t-M STA: Margerum SB past from Elway.

Elway started the drive with a 36-yard completion to Andre Tyler and later completed a 10-yard throw to tight end Chris Dressel. That put the Cardinals at the Tulane 24 and two plays later, Margerum floated under Elway's throw into the end zone. Ken Naber booted field goals of 33 and 40 yards for the other Stanford points while Tulane scored on a 17-yard run by Terry Harris and Hall's 17-yard strike to Griffin.

Tulane missed two opportunities to score late in the third quarter when Stanford led by 10-7. The Green Wave moved to the Stanford 18 and on fourth down, went for a fake field goal try that resulted in a 13-yard loss. A couple of minutes later, Darrin Nelson, who carried the ball 19 times for 95 yards, fumbled at his own 35 with Lionel Washington grabbing the ball. Hall worked the ball down to the 3-yard line but Tulane was called for delay of game, which moved the ball back to the 8-yard line on fourth down. The Green Wave had to go for a field goal, but Vince Manalla missed from 25 yards out.

The loss was the second straight heartbreaker for Tulane. Last week the Green Wave dropped a 17-14 decision to Southern Mississippi in the opener. Southern Mississippi also scored in the final minute to whip the Greenies. Tulane will be looking to get its first victory of the year against Rice in New Orleans. Last year Rice upset the Greenies in Houston.
