Ohio State A zone twice." Maryland's offense didn't get much done against the Wolfpack in the first half. The Terrapins penetrated N.C. State territory twice the first time was stalled on a delay of game penalty on a fourth-arid-1 at State's 35 on their second possession and the next time at the Wolfpack 47 when a third-and-21 play gained 3 yards. N.C. State appeared content to run down the clock to end the first half scoreless.

Maryland called a timeout as the Wolfpack faced a third-and-7. and Montgomery made the Terrapins pay. completing a 27-yard pass to Chris Girders to the 50. Montgomery completed two more las.ses to the Maryland 27 to set up Hartman's field goal as time expired.

Anthony Barbour scored on a 7-yard run late in the third quarter, and North Carolina State's defense held off Maryland's fourth-quarter charge Saturday to give the 24th-ranked Wolf-pack a 10-6 Atlantic Coast Conference victory. Damon Hartman's 45-yard field goal at the end of the first half broke a scoreless tie and Barbour's run with 3:03 left in the third period gave the Wolfpack all the points they could manage against the Terps in the season opener for both. "When we kicked the field goal, we told the offense that was all we would need," defensive tackle Ray Agnew said. "But I'm glad we scored again." The Terps didn't threaten at all until late in the fourth quarter. After N.C.

State was stopped at midfield, quarterback Neil O'Donnell led Maryland on an eight-play, 80-yard drive that ended on Ricky Johnson's 1-yard scoring run with 3:21 left to play. Johnson was stopped on his conversion run. Maryland regained possession after holding the Wolfpack following the ensuing kickoff. O'Donnell, who pulled off a last-second victory over N.C. State last season, completed five of his first seven passes in the final drive, moving Maryland to the N.C.

State 17. O'Donnell's third-down pass for Dean Green was out of the end zone, and his fourth-down pass for Barry Johnson was broken up by defensive back Barry Anderson as time ran out. "We contained Neil O'Donnell much better than we did a year ago. Our defensive front did a great job getting in his running lanes," N.C. State Coach Dick Sheridan said.

"It's terrifying because he can run and throw on the run," said corner-back Barry Anderson of O'Donnell. "He can make the big plays while he's running."

Dowis obviously doesn't want to string out his record attempt, as he rushed for 249 yards and six touchdowns as the Falcons downed San Diego State, 52-36. Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry: "There is no question in my mind that Dee is the best option quarterback in America.

He showed the kind of surgeon he is. He cut them up." Dowis' counterpart, Dan McGwire, also had a successful game. McGwire, a transfer from Iowa, was 30-of-46 for 361 yards and two touchdowns in his debut with the Aztecs. McGwire, by the way, is the brother of Oakland A first baseman Mark McGwire. AUTHOR, WHOOOOO, THINGS are getting nasty In Nebraska.

The book, Big Red Confidential: Inside Nebraska Football, deals with reports of illegal ticket sales by athletes, booster payments for game performances, steroid use and drug use. It also implied that former Cornhuskers All-Ameri-can Irving Fryar may have been involved with throwing the 1984 Orange Bowl, a 31-30 loss to Miami, and in gambling on NFL games. Nebraska Coach Tom Osborne fired a salvo of his own Saturday, saying author Armen Keteyian offered former player Nate Mason money for information. Keteyian said he would consult his attorney about the charge. Keteyian: "I believe it's a calculated act on coach Osborne's part to discredit me and the book." Mason is a former roommate of Mike Rozier, whom the book alleges took cocaine and received illegal payments.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT REDSHIRT FRESHMAN Bret Johnson will start at quarterback in UCLA's season-opening game against Tennessee, Coach Terry Donahue said. The Bruins play host to the Vols next Saturday. Johnson becomes the first Bruins quarterback with no college experience to open the season since sophomore Gary Beban started the 1965 opener at Michigan State. Johnson will be replacing Troy Aikman, who coincidentally was named the starting quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys on Saturday. DOMINATION BOY, DID Furman have a bad game against Clemson.

The Paladins, the reigning Division l-AA champs, managed just 58 yards of offense against Clemson. The Tigers never allowed Furman's offense past the Clemson 25-yard line that was after a Paladins' fumble recovery as the Tigers breezed to a 30-0 victory. Other than the fumble recovery, Furman didn't cross into Clemson territory. Clemson, meanwhile, managed 321 yards of offense. This was the Tigers' first game in three years without former starting quarterback Rodney Williams Senior Chris Morocco got the start and was 8-of-14 for 99 yards.

He also scored on a 1-yard run. Second-stringer DeChane Cameron, a sophomore, was 6-of-6 for 67 yards The Tigers also were without leading rusher Terry Allen Allen was suspended because of a drunk-driving incident earlier in the week. Joe Henderson rushed for 64 yards in Allen's stead. Interestingly. Allen will be back next week.

Who are the Tigers playing? Well, it's a team a bit stronger than Furman Flonda State MIKE HUGUENIN SOUTH lews St 41 Livingston St 24 Alabama St 16 Troy St 13 Ky 42Tenn WesleyanO Johnson Smith 41 Bowie St 41, tie II THUNDER ON THE PLAINS BOOMER SOONERS, Indeed. New Mexico State sure heard a lot of booms probably sonic booms as wove after wave of Sooners backs (14 Sooners carried the ball) rumbled past in OU ridiculously easy 73-3 blowout. Oklahoma rushed for 518 yards and nine touchdowns on 76 carries; that's a 6.8-yirds per carry average. The Aggies rushed for 28 yards on 27 carries; that's a 1.03 yards per carry average. HTHUNDER ON THE PLAINS, II THE SOONERS rolled behind red-shirt freshman quarterback Steve Collins.

He became the first freshman in school history to open the season at quarterback. His was an inauspicious debut, however. He carried five times for minus-5 yards and was 3-for-6 passing for 18 yards before coming out midway through the third quarter. THUNDER ON THE PLAINS, III THE SOONERS' victory made Gary Gibbs a winner in his debut as coach. Gibbs: "Walking down the ramp onto the field prior to kickoff and seeing the Sooner fans in the stadium and hearing their applause and support not only for me but for this football team was very gratifying.

It's something I'll never forget." Gibbs also won't forget how easy his first victory was accomplished. Why did the Sooners play New Mexico State, which is now 4-30 under Coach Mike Knoll, who is beginning his fourth season. The reason, at least for New Mexico State: money. A spokesman in the Aggies' athletic office said the school was guaranteed between $200,000 and $300,000 to serve as sacrificial lambs. IN CONTROL PITT QUARTERBACK Alex Van Pelt also made his debut Van Pelt, a red-shirt freshman, became the first freshman to start at quarterback for the Panthers.

Van Pelt was 11 -of-17 for 141 yards, one touchdown and one interception as Pitt rolled past Pacific, 38-3. Van Pelt is the starter because incumbent Darnell Dick-erson flunked out in the spring Pitt Coach Mike Gottfried on Van Pelt: Tt didn't look like we had a freshman quarterback out there For his first game, I was really pleased." tS OUT OF CONTROL WHILE VAN Pelt's debut was a happy one, Pacific Coach Waft Harris is unhappy Harns became coach of the Tigers after Bob Cope was fired last season. Harris had spent the past five seasons as offensive coordinator at Tennessee. Harris: "We were up against a vastly superior unit We came in hoping to earn Pitt's respect with our hitting, and I think we did that We didn't want them to think they were just in a scrimmage." H-A-P-P-Y SO KANSAS beat Montana State, 41-17. What the big deal? Well, It the first time the Jayhawks have had a winning record albeit 1-0 in three seasons.

And it's Kansas' first non-conference victory since October 1987 Opening kickoff return boosts past LSU O'Donnell's running kept the Wolfpack defense busy. But it was his fourth-quarter passing that nearly pulled off the victory. "We tried to contain him and keep him from doing anything spectacular while he was running," Anderson said. Maryland Coach Joe Krivak defended his decision not to go for the big plays in the final drive. "We don't throw the ball into the end zone from the 40 or the 50," Krivak said.

"We had to move it down close. Then we threw it in on plays we thought would work. They didn't work, but if the completion comes, it's a great call." O'Donnell said he had no choice but to try for the touchdown on the last two passes. He had 8 seconds left to run the final two plays. "The clock was a factor," O'Donnell said.

"I really didn't have a choice but to throw it in the end Lewis' career. The Tigers cut it to 14-10 when Hodson passed 9 yards to tight end Willie Williams with 23 seconds left in the third quarter. Horton's touchdown was first kickoff return for a touchdown since Sept. 29, 1973, when Carl Roaches ran 100 yards against Boston College. LSU last allowed a kickoff return for a score in 1986.
