That (rotation with Flowers) kept us pretty strong." Baylor quarterback Steve Needham engineered a drive to the Nebraska 3 early in the fourth quarter.

Nothing that Allen, 72, could pull out of his playbook of TflH 35 knowledge 1 WK amassed over 12 National Football League seasons helped avert what he had feared: a lopsided loss in his first game as a college coach in 34 years. "This is a new experience for me," said Allen, who never had a losing record in 14 years as a head coach in professional football. "I don't recall a loss like this. I hope I don't have to recall many more of them.

"This is my first trip to Clemson," he said. "I doubt if I'll be back again." The Tigers simply had too much talent for the 49ers. Two-thirds of the 59 players who made the trip from Long Beach were playing against their first Division I-A opponent, and 21 had never played in a college game. The 49ers had some modest success early, gaining a first down on their first series and getting into Clemson territory on their second. But that was it as the Tigers took control, holding Long Beach State to 8 yards of total offense the rest of the half.

Clemson held the 49ers to 57 yards, including minus-16 yards rushing. The Tigers had 418 yards, 330 on the ground. The victory gave Ken Hatfield a successful debut before 72,500 at Death Valley.

Webb's opening score capped a 74-yard, four-play drive that took only 1 minute, 37 seconds.

A few minutes later, Webb left the game with an injured right knee, having collected only 25 yards on three carries. Tony Thompson came in for Webb and scored the first of his two touchdowns, a nine-yard run that completed a 27-yard drive in four plays. The senior running back also went 48 yards for another score. lawiim IK No. 13 TEXAS 28, HAWAII 13 in Hawaii Darren Lewis rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown and Robert Wilson scored two times in the first half to lead the Aggies.

Jones' run, with 6:17 left in the game, came after closed to 28-24 on the passing and running of quarterback Joe Dalpra. The Mountaineers took the ball on the Kent State 32 after a short Kent State punt and Jones, a redshirt freshman running back, sprinted around right end through a large hole for a touchdown.

O'Gorman won the high school football game 35-17. USD: Beats Northern behind Tumbleson Continued from 1 punt was blocked, and the Wolves took over on the USD 42-yard line. After several carries by fullback Jeff Doschadis, Lardy got the Wolves on the scoreboard when he found a well-covered Brent Sheehan in the end zone.

Lardy dropped the snap on the extra-point try, and Northern led 6-0. After Coyotes kicker Mike Kneip missed a 36-yard field-goal attempt, USD's defense started to play well. It may have been the only way to get the offense untracked. Lardy's first poor pass was picked off by linebacker Rob Hennessey, who returned it 18 yards to the Northern 28. After two Tumbleson runs accomplished nothing, Seuer found Gregory in the end zone for a 24-yard TD strike with 1:37 left in the first quarter.

The play resulted in a 7-6 lead. The Coyotes would not relinquish that advantage. "I didn't see him catch the ball," Seuer said. "I got flattened pretty good. But I heard the crowd roar, and I figured it was either a touchdown or an interception." He soon discovered it was a touchdown.

101 yards and threw two interceptions but he got the job done. "I made a lot of first-game mistakes, especially with the interceptions, but you can't expect an error-filled game in your first outing," he said. Seuer connected with exciting sophomore flanker James Gregory for a 24-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and then watched Tumbleson do the rest of the scoring. The junior tailback rushed 21 times for 89 yards and scored on runs of 5 and 2 yards. Gregory, from Sioux City Heelan, rushed three times for 42 yards, including 33 on one play, and gave the impression he will make some noise this season.

"We think James Gregory is a football player; he can play this game," Fritsch said. "We're going to get the ball to him as much as we can." Northern surprised the Coyotes by getting the early lead. USD's first drive had been futile, and when Joe Harkreader dropped back to punt he saw Northern's Dan Goetz bearing down on him. The Winfield had touchdown runs of 7 and 16 yards to lead the Mavericks to a 35-0 lead with 4:55 left in the first half. He added punt returns of 52 and 54 yards in the third quarter.

He ran for 68 yards in 10 rushing attempts and 129 yards on four punt returns. Rohlfs, who caught five passes for 155 yards, had TD catches of 19 and 76 yards. MORNINGSIDE 55, IOWA WESLEYAN 3 in Sioux City, Iowa Scott Kerkhoff rushed for 79 yards on seven carries and three touchdowns as the Chiefs recorded their highest scoring output since 1980. Kerkhoff scored on runs of 49, 3 and 1 yards. Rob Niemeyer added two 5-yard scoring runs as Morningside snapped a nine-game losing streak.

Morningside, 1-0, rushed for 361 yards and finished with 531 yards in total offense. The defense was just as outstanding in limiting the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics school to 196 yards in total offense and only 49 yards in the final three quarters. WAYNE STATE 24, NEBRASKA-OMAHA 17 in Omaha, Neb. Troy Jackson ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns to lead Wayne State to the victory. Wayne State scored on its first possession and never looked back.

On the Wildcats' first offensive play, quarterback Gale Lawton connected with Marlon Goolsby on a 42-yard pass. Seven plays later, Jackson scored from 4 yards out to give Wayne State a 7-0 lead. NORTHERN IOWA 30, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 9 in Cedar Falls, Iowa Jay Johnson threw three touchdown passes as Northern Iowa won the Gateway Conference opener. National title not essential to Tigers' success AUBURN burn had a big lead. If he can't do the job, Auburn will have to use redshirt freshman Stan White or sophomore Corey Lewis, whose college resume includes just one game.

The rest of the offense looks solid. Three starters return on the line, including 284-pound Ed King, rated by some as the best offensive guard in the nation. Running behind King will be Joseph, the team leader with 831 yards last season, and Stacy Danley, second with 652. But they are grind-it-out backs who lack the breakaway speed of past Auburn runners like Bo Jackson and Brent Fullwood. AUBURN, Ala.

(AP) Since Pat Dye arrived as football coach in 1981, Auburn has dominated the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers have won four of the last seven league titles, including the last three in a row, and have beaten arch-rival Alabama four consecutive times. They also have played in five consecutive New Year's Day bowls and won 76 percent of their games under Dye. But there's one thing Dye hasn't been able to do at Auburn win a national championship. Will this be the year? "We have the makings of a championship team," Dye said.

"But so many intangibles have to fall into place. "I'm not going to approach this season with a panic state of mind. I like where we've been, and I like where we're going. If there's a chance to win the conference and compete for a national championship, that's great. If we don't, we've still got a solid program." No one can argue with that.

The Tigers have finished in the Top 10 the past four years, including a No. 6 finish last season when they went 10-2. Although they must replace quarterback Reggie Slack, the Tigers should once again feature a potent offense and one of the nation's top defenses. "We think we can go out with a national championship," James Jo- one loss to Florida State in 1987 in the last three years. The primary concern on offense is replacing Slack, who threw for 1,996 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior.

There are three candidates, but the favorite is Frank Mcintosh. "I know the players would probably feel a little more at ease if we could settle on a quarterback," Dye said. "I really don't know how it's -going to turn out. If we started today, it would probably be Frank Mcintosh because he is the least likely to get us beat. We could end up playing two quarterbacks early." Although he's a senior, Mcintosh has played in only 10 games, and always in mop-up roles when Au seph, a fifth-year running back, said.

"If we only win the SEC, we won't be disappointed. But we would like to go out with a taste of the national title." Last year, road losses to Tennessee and Florida State prevented Auburn from finishing at the top. This year, both of those teams will be coming to Jordan-Hare Stadium, where the Tigers have a 15-game winning streak and only .1 1 i I rfirf if a a. t. a a tit tli 1.
