The two blocked punts attempted by quarterback Larry Rentz, ruined Florida's bid to snap an Auburn jinx in Cliff Hare Stadium, where the Tigers have never lost to Florida in 11 games.

Three minutes later, the Tigers were in front 26-7, with Carter scoring on a plunge and a 3-yard Yards penalized AUBURN, Ala.

(AP) Explosive Auburn scored 2 0 points in a 3-minute outburst in the 3rd quarter with the help of two blocked punts, and nipped Florida 26-21 Saturday behind the quarterbacking of Loran Carter, who scored twice and tossed two touchdown passes.

The last two Auburn scores came after Florida punts were blocked by Mike Holtzclaw, who gave the Tigers the ball on the Gators' 21, and by Jim Bouchillon, who set an opportunity on the Florida 14. After that outburst, Florida fought back with a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns. Larry Smith darted in on a 16-yard run and Rentz scored on a 1-yard dash.

The Gators, who held Auburn without a first down for the first 22 minutes of the game, had gone in front in the second quarter on Tommy Glenn's 1-yard plunge. Auburn came back, scoring on Carter's 10-yard pass to Tim Christian, but the extra point kick was wide and the Tigers trailed until their winning surge in the third period. The triumph gave Auburn a 5-2 record for the season, with Florida's mark this fall dropping to 4-2. The Tigers were fortunate on fumbles, hobbling the ball four times but recovering all of them.

(AP) -Miami's Hurricane stole Virginia Tech's thunder with a suffocating defense that permitted only 7 yards Saturday and dumped the Techmen from football's unbeaten ranks 14-7.

Quarterback David Olivo scored one touchdown and passed for the other for the resurgent Hurricane as Miami repeated its 19S6 Liberty Bowl triumph over Tech before a crowd of 35,000 at Lane Stadium.

So unyielding was the Miami defense that the Gobblers, who had won 14 regular season games succession over the last two seasons, didn't make a first down until 40 minutes had elapsed and picked up only three in the entire game. Instrumental in the Miami scheme of containment was the kicking of Hank Collins, who three times in the last two periods kept the punchless Techmen with their backs to the wall by punting out of bounds inside the Gobbler 10. Miami didn't have too much success of its own in penetrating the fine Tech defense and used a recovered fumble to set up the game winning touchdown in the second period.

DEDICATION RUINED with a 95-yard punt return which temporarily tied the score at 7-7 in the second period. But after Loria's brilliant run, the Techmen found 10, spoiling a touchdown bid by the Gators. That drive started when Florida's Bobby Downs intercepted a pass by Carter on the Auburn 46.

Owens led the Rattlers in rushing with 59 yards in six carries, and Scruggs completed two of three passes for 37 yards, including a 22-yard pass to end Melvin Jones that set up the last touchdown. A penalty had nullified an earlier TD pass from Scruggj to Jones that covered 35 yards. "I think the beys found themselves today," said Coach Jake Gakher. "They played a fine game on offense and defense. We've had two good weeks of practice and they were up for this one."
