Ole Miss had marched to the Georgia 22 early in the third period but lost the ball on a fumble, and two plays later Robinson found Washington in the clear at the Ole Miss 30 to four touchdowns in one game. Sophomore quarterback Matt Robinson aided in the unexpected romp by connecting on six of nine passes for 241 yards, including a 74-yard bomb to Gene Washington in the third period and an 86-yard bomb to Richard Appleby with 6:42 left in the game.

The Bulldogs, only four point favorites after getting off to a 2-2 start this season, added another touchdown nine seconds after the bomb to Appleby when they recovered a fumble at the Ole Miss 9 yard Auburn Defense Cages Wildcats In 31-13 Victory .1.1 '1 'AT I X- mmr COLUMBIA, S.C. (UPI) Bruce Arians and Phil Rogers each scored twice Saturday night to lead Virginia Tech to a 31-17 victory over South Carolina, which is off to its worse season start since it began playing football in 1894. It was the first win of the season for VPI, which dropped its first four games. South Carolina, in its last season under coach Paul Dietzel, has not won a game in five starts. South Carolina led 17-7 at halftime, but the Gobblers scored the first three times they had the ball in the second half as they gained yardage at will through the middle of the Gamecock line.

Wayne Latimer brought the Gobblers to a 17-10 margin with a 30-yard field goal with just over five minutes gone in the second half. Arians scored from the two to cap a 75-yard drive the next time VPI had the ball, and Latimer's extra point tied the scored at 17-17.

Vv -A t) if Ci) AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Tenth-ranked Auburn had the running of quarterback Phil Gargis and tailback Mitzi Jackson plus the nation's stingiest defense, and the combination produced a 31-13 Southeastern Conference football victory Saturday over the stubborn but outclassed Kentucky Wildcats.

Gargis scored once himself and moved the Tigers within touchdown range on the other successful drive. He wound up with 91 yards rushing in 18 plays. Jackson, who carried the ball eight times for 62 yards, broke into the end zone from four yards out in the second period and again from the one in the final quarter. Even though Collins did most of the heavy work for Kentucky, it was quarterback Mike a i who got onto the scoreboard with both of the Wildcat touchdowns. Kentucky tied the score at 7-7 in the final period, but Auburn came back quickly, going 73 yards in eight On that drive, Jackson broke Kentucky 0 7 013 Auburn 7 7 7 10-31 Aub Mclnlyre 2 run (Wilson kick) Ken Fanuizl 2 run (Pierce kick) Aub Jackson 4 run (Wilson kick) Aub Gargis 1 run (Wilson kick) Ken Fanuzit 5 run (kick tailed) Aub Jackson 1 run (Wilson kick) Aub FG Gillls 34 loose for a 26-yard sprint and Gargis, on three sucessive picked up 6, 10 and 11 yards.

Georgia, which gained over 500 yards against the Rebels, marched 79 yards after the opening kickoff with Robinson and sophomore Glynn Harrison furnishing most of the yardage and King going the final yard with only 3:12 gone in the game. But Ole Miss, now 2-3, dominated the play the remainder of the first period and Georgia did not get its offense moving again until three minutes into the second period when the Bulldogs launched a 74-yard Dickey said the difference in the game was Vanderbilt's play in the second half. "The team which makes the fewest mistakes usually wins and in the second half, Vanderbilt didn't make any." Florida led 7-6 at intermission.

(AP-Louisiana State overcame four first half fumbles and got a clutch fourth-down touchdown from quarterback Billy Brous-sard Saturday night enroute to a 2010 Southeastern Conference football victory over Tennessee.

It was LSU's first victory since the Tigers' season opener against Colorado. It left both teams with 221 records. Broussard, a much-maligned senior quarterback who rose to first string status when the Tigers' supposed superstar Mike Miley chose pro baseball over college football, directed the Tigers on two impressive drives. The first covered 75 yards in the second quarter and culminated with Brad Davis going over from three yards out. The fourth-quarter touchdown by Broussard came after an 80 yard frive, including a 47-yard pass from Broussard to wide receiver Richard Romain, which set up the score.

(UPI) Tony Benjamin and Art Gore, alternating at tailback, ripped off a touchdown each Saturday as Duke shredded Army's shellshocked defense for a 33-14 victory. Quarterback Hal Spears un-leashed a 53-yard pass to flanker Randy Cobb, and fullback Mike Bomgardner plunged over from the four for another pair of Blue Devil touchdowns. Placekick Rich Mclnturff, returning from a summer hernia operation, boomed field a 1 of 21 and 24 yards as Duke boosted its record to 4-1.

Army, suffering its fourth loss after a season-opening win over Lafayette, scored on halfback Markus Hardy's 100-yard kickoff return and quarterback Scott Gillogly's one-yard sneak. Duke scored the first time it got the ball, with Benjamin rambling over from the seven, and cashed in on all but two of its first-half possessions en route to a 19-7 intermission advantage. With Hardy taking off from his own endzone to Duke's after the first of Mclnturff's field goals, Army looked (Continued from Page ID) the quarter on an 8-yard run by Tony Green and David Posey's point after. But Florida could score again only on Posey's 32-yard field goal in the third quarter. Mark Adams completed the Commodore scoring with a 21-yard field goal in the last quarter.

Lee, who replaced Fisher when Fisher injured his shoulder, hit eight of 11 passes for 128 yards and ran 10 times for 38 yards. Burton ran three times for 43 yards.

The upset was the second in as many years for second year Commodore coach Steve Sloan. Last year Vandy stunned Georgia, 18-14. Vanderbilt's only loss was to Alabama, 23-10, two weeks ago, when the Commodores made only two fewer first downs and had the ball for only three less possessions. "The outstanding player was Barry Burton," Dickey said. "He did as fine a job at tight end as I've seen done." Said Sloan, "Burton played just super.

He is one of the best players in the country." burton caught a five yard pass for a touchdown, made another reception for a two-point conversion, caught five passes for 98 yards and ran three times for 43 yards. Lee hit eight of 11 passes for 128 yards and ran 10 times for 30 yards. "David Lee is a i athlete," Dickey said. "He did a good job in Vandy's earlier games."
