"Obviously, the football team and coaching staff is real disappointed," UCLA Coach Terry Donahue said. "Washington State played a great game, and we didn't play as well as we thought we might, or hoped to. Consequently, we got beat.

Washington State was the better team." Saturday, Washington State was, in fact, much the better team. The Cougars rallied from a 20-6 halftime deficit scoring 21 points in the third period and pretty much owned the line of scrimmage in the final 25 minutes. Washington State, trailing, 27-6, after Eric Ball scored on an 8-yard run with 12:35 left in the third quarter, outscored the Bruins, 28-3, the rest of the way and went ahead, 34-30, on a drive that illustrated just how dominating the Cougars' offensive line was in the second half. The Cougars marched 80 yards in 13 plays on their game-winning drive, and all of those yards came on the ground. Rich Swindon capped the drive with a 1-yard plunge with 6:21 left.

"We ran the football pretty well, didn't we," said Washington State Coach Dennis Erickson. "We've been running it against everybody, and today we just came out and played good, hard football I didn't enjoy it until the last play but I really enjoyed it after that." UCLA (7-1, 4-1) had three chances to mount what might have been game-winning drives and the top Heisman Trophy candidate in the nation to lead them in Aikman, but all of them stalled. The first of the Bruins' opportunities to escape with a victory ended quickly when Brian Brown fumbled away the ensuing kickoff at the Bruins' 37-yard line. Six plays and a missed field goal later, the Bruins had another shot. It ended at Washington State's 38, when Aikman was intercepted by free safety Art Holmes.

UCLA's Darryl Henley got the Bruins into good field position for what would be their final possession of the afternoon, returning a Washington State punt 31 yards to the Cougars' 39. Key: Cougars By Robert Kuwada KRTN SERVICES PASADENA, Calif. Three times UCLA had a chance to stave off execution, to retain its No. 1 ranking. And three times the Bruins failed.

Trailing, 34-30, with 6:21 left, the Bruins fumbled, faltered and, finally, fell to Washington State. Bid adieu, UCLA, to the top spot in the Top 20. Say goodbye to No. 1. Saturday afternoon, in front of 51,970 at the Rose Bowl, Washington State brought UCLA's undefeated dream season to a stunning halt, squeaking out a 34-30 victory that did massive damage to the Bruins' conference and national championship aspirations.

UCLA had the ball on the Washington State 6 on its last drive, but four in-completions by Troy Aikman ended the Bruins' hopes. The Cougars' victory was their first over UCLA since 1979 and marked the first time Washington State has beaten the Bruins in Los jl WaamM OTHERS EAST Hampdan-Sydney 21 Gettysburg 7 Lambuth Con 21 Campbellsville 7 MssGseoi Col. 31 VaUosta St. 21 Moms Brown 15, Fayetteville St. 3 Central 21, Bowie St.

PLAINLY SPEAKING OKLAHOMA STATE plays host to Oklahoma next week in a game that has a bearing on the Big Eight Conference race. Okie State already has one conference loss, to Nebraska. Oklahoma plays host Nebraska on Nov. 19. Both Oklahoma teams tuned up by beating up on teams from Kansas.

OU whipped Kansas, 63-14, after leading just 21-14 at halftime. Sooners Coach Barry Switzer: "It was embarrassing for them to be down only seven points when you're predicted to be ahead by half a hundred. We allowed them to be in the game." And Oklahoma State pounded Kansas State, 45-27. And while OU and Okie State were preparing for next week's "Showdown on the Plains," Kansas and K-State were prepping for the "Showdown of the Plain." K-State plays host to Kansas next week. K-State is in the throes of of a 24-game winless streak.

Kansas has gone 15 games without a victory. Incidentally, Kansas is the last Big Eight team to beat Oklahoma. The Jayhawks beat OU, 28-11, in 1984. The Sooners' quarterback that day was a freshman from Henryetta, named Troy Aikman. STAR SIBLINGS THE SANDERS brothers again had Eood days.

Oklahoma State's Barry anders, the nation's leading rusher, had 320 yards in the Cowboys' victory over Kansas State. Northwestern's Byron Sanders rushed 25 times for 106 yards to become the first back to rush for more than 100 yards against Michigan this year. It didn't help, as Michigan rolled. 52-7.

S. Carolina shuts down NC State ASSOCIATED PRESS RALEIGH, Todd Ellis threw a 20-yard touchdown pass, and Collin Mackie kicked three second-half field goals Saturday night to lead 17th-ranked South Carolina to a 23-7 victory over North Carolina State. The Gamecocks (7-1) gained 356 yards against the nation's top defense. State had not allowed a touchdown in 16 consecutive quarters until the Gamecocks snapped the string in the first period. Ellis completed a key pass in each of South Carolina's first three scoring drives of the second half.

After the Wolfpack's Damon Hartman missed a 47-yard field-goal attempt with 10:02 left in the third quarter, Ellis hit Robert Brooks with a 43-yard pass to set up a 44-yard field goal by Mackie that gave the Gamecocks a 10-0 lead. Two series later, Ellis found Hardin Brown on a 21-yard sideline pattern that moved the ball to N.C. State's 13. Three plays later, Mackie kicked a 24-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in the quarter. The Wolfpack's only score came one minute into the fourth quarter.

Shane Montgomery hit Danny Peebles with a 50-yard pass that set up Montgomery's 1-yard scoring keeper, which cut the lead to 13-7. But Ellis marched the Gamecocks 75 yards in 11 plays, capping the drive by hitting Eddie Miller on a corner pattern over the outstretched arms of Joe Johnson with 8:54 left. Mackie added a 32-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter. N.C. State (6-2) was held to a season-low 27 yards rushing.

The Wolf-pack were held to 42 in last week's upset victory over Clemson. Representatives from seven bowl games attended the contest.

Mountaineers bury Nittany Lions No. 7 WVU storms to 41-8 halftime lead en route to 51-30 rout Jf 23 seasons at Penn State that one of his teams has lost three in a row.

"We just got licked," Paterno said. "We just didn't play good enough defense for us to expect to win the football game." They did play well on one play in the second quarter, when, with the Mountaineers on the Penn State 17, cornerback Neil Hamilton sacked Major Harris on a blindside blitz. But Hamilton was one of 12 Nittany Lions on the field. That appeared to be Penn State's only solution to stopping Harris, a sophomore who threw for two touchdowns and ran for a third. West Virginia finished with 563 yards, a more accurate indicator of the game than the final score.

Penn State scored 16 points in the final six minutes to make it somewhat respectable. At halftime, the Mountaineers led, 41-8, the cherry on that sundae being a 55-yard touchdown run on a draw play with 3 seconds left by reserve tailback Undra Johnson of Fort Lauderdale. "The first half was the best we've played," West Virginia Coach Don Nehlen said. "The second half we did not play nearly as well, but we played a lot of guys." The Mountaineers won with an offensive performance the likes of which Paterno has never seen at Penn State. No team of his had given up 50 points.

Harris gained 266 yards total offense and threw 4 'I AH ASSOCIATED PRESS touchdown passes of 40 and 49 yards. But it was his 26-yard scoring run on the opening drive that set the tone. Harris took four plays to move the Mountaineers from their 43 to the Nittany Lion's 26. Then he called a pitch left. His 10 teammates went left.

Harris went right and scored. "I ran the wrong way," Harris said. "I was just so excited on the first series that my head wasn't on straight. I just started running and guys kept missing me." Penn State kept missing the whole game.

LeMon 1-11, Taylor 1-4 By Ivan Maisel DALLAS MORNING NEWS MORGANTOWN, W.Va. When the miners have taken the last lump of coal from these hills, they will remember Saturday in West Virginia The state's beloved Mountaineers stepped into the national spotlight on the backs of their longtime oppressor: Penn State. No. 7 West Virginia embarrassed its nemesis, 51-30, before a record crowd of 66,811 at Mountaineer Field. The Mountaineers never had been 8-0 in 95 years of football.

It's fitting they achieved that against Penn State (4-4), which had lost only once to WVU since 1955. With top-ranked UCLA losing to Washington State, 34-30, the Mountaineers moved closer to a shot at the national championship. If things follow form, they are expected to play Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. Only No. 16 Syracuse, which WVU plays at home Nov.

19, is expected to give the Mountaineers a challenge in their last three games. When West Virginia beat Penn State, 17-14, in 1984, it didn't play the last 38 seconds. The fans rushed onto the field. This year, the crowd only made it to the 49-second mark before they tore down a goal post and rushed onto the field. Saturday's loss marked only the third time in Coach Joe Paterno's SAVORY TEXAS TECH came from behind to nip Texas, 33-32.

The victory was doubly sweet for Tech. Not only was it a victory over a intrastate foe. but it also was a victory over an old coach. Texas Coach David McWilliams coached Texas Tech to a 6-5 record in 1986, then bolted to Texas after one season, saying the Longhorns' job was the only job he ever really wanted. Saturday's game was the first trip back to Lubbock for McWilliams since he left.

BETTER WATCH OUT PENN STATE has not had a losing season since 1939. That's a record 49 consecutive non-losing seasons. But that streak is in jeopardy. The Nittany Lions are 4-4 after Saturday's whipping by West Virginia. To avoid a losing season, the Nittany Lions need to win two of their remaining three games.

Not an easy task, as Penn State plays host to ACC co-leader Maryland next week, archrival Pitt on Nov. 12 and plays at Notre Dame on Nov. 19. ROLLING ALONG WYOMING HAS won 18 consecutive regular-season games, the longest current streak in the nation. The Cowboys play host to Texas-El Paso next week.
