Once again senior tailback Bo Jackson gave No. 6 Auburn its offensive punch, but it took a strong defense and the booming punts of Louis Colbert for the Tigers to hold off Mississippi State 21-9 on Saturday. "It wasn't a pretty win," said Jackson, who rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns, including a 22-yard scoring run that put Auburn ahead after trailing 6-0. Auburn Coach Pat Dye agreed: "It's been frustrating.

We weren't able to hammer out anything today. This is a good football team that has now become ordinary. "I'd hate to think where we would be without our defense," Dye said. He also said Colbert showed why he ranks among the top punters in the nation. "He helped put Mississippi State in poor field position most of the Dye said.

"We had some opportunities early to get some points in addition to the field goals, but Auburn stopped us," said Bulldogs Coach Emory Bellard. "Out of four scoring opportunities, we came out with only three field goals." Jackson's 22-yard touchdown run sparked a 14-point outburst by Auburn with less than two minutes left in the half. His 4-yard scoring run in the third quarter gave Auburn room to hold on for the victory. The victory in the Southeastern Conference battle lifted Auburn's record to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the SEC, while the Bulldogs fell to 5-3 and 0-3 in the league. Mississippi State quarterback Don Smith moved the Bulldogs in bursts but could hot sustain a drive into the end zone, with Mississippi State settling for Artie Cosby field-goals of 37, 27 and 37 yards.

The first two field goals put Mississippi State up 6-0. But with four minutes left in the half, Auburn moved 70 yards in seven plays, with Jackson running 22 yards for the score that put Auburn ahead for good. Jackson's score fired up the Tigers. Auburn got the ball back less than a minute later and scored on quarterback Pat Washington's 29-yard pass to Freddy Weygand that made it 14-6 at the half. Auburn made it 21-6 earlier in the third quarter on a 72-yard drive highlighted by a 40-yard run by Jackson.

You still have to play the game." SOUTHERN CAL COACH Ted Tollner on the uniform switch: "We were responsible for our own embarrassment. The green uniforms basically had no effect on our team." Asked if he thought it was embarrassment heaped upon embarrassment, Tollner replied: "I think they planned it that way, and I'D leave it at that." RICHMOND COACH Dal Shealy, on Ns decision to go for a tying field goal on the game's final play against Rutgers: "I just didn't want to lose the balkjame.

"Kent Austin clearly demonstrated what he means to the Ole Miss football team with his leadership and execution on the field," Brewer said after the senior passed for three touchdowns and engineered a fourth to give the Rebels their first SEC victory of the season. Austin, returning to the lineup for the first time in 2lA games, teamed with J.R. Ambrose on two of the scoring passes as the Rebels improved their record to 3-3-1 by defeating the Commodores before an estimated homecoming crowd of 35,500. Vanderbilt, 2-5-1 and 0-3-1 in the SEC, was kept in check by an Ole Miss offense that trapped freshman quarterback Tim Richardson in the end zone twice and caused him to fumble on two other occasions.
