7, 1980 The Sunday Press, Biimtw, 3-B Explosive Penn St. clouts Colgate, 54-10 Midwest Running back Mike Holmes' 53-yard TD run late in the third quarter sparked the host Illini in the Big Ten's season opener. Illinois, trailing 9-0 after a half, exploded in the second half to give new coach Mike White the victory before 44,222. It was the first time since I960 a new Illinois coach won his debut. Although Illini quarterback Dave Wilson is highly-touted as a passer, all of Illinois' TDs came on runs.

It was the first home victory for Illinois in nearly three years. BUFFALO 14, BROCKPORT ST. 13 Mark Maier, who rushed for 105 yards, capped an 80-yard scoring drive in the third quarter with a one-yard run for visiting Buffalo. Maier's score gave Buffalo a 14-7 lead. Brockport quarterback Tim Brunelle fired a 19-yard scoring pass to narrow the gap to one, but placekicker Dave Grote missed the PAT kick.

Colgate finally scored with the help of a 78-yard kickoff return by Rich Erenberg which, with a penalty tacked on, gave Colgate a first down at Penn State's 11. Three plays lost four yards before Byrne kicked his 32-yard field goal to make it 17-3. On the ensuing kickoff Warner raced 89 yards for his third score, equaling his opening-game production of last year. Colgate used the final 2V2 minutes of the first half to move 81 yards on 10 plays for its TD.

Soph linebacker Dave Wolf (Union-Endicott) had to replace honorable-mention AU-Ameri-can Joe Murphy in the third quarter. this type of football team before," he said. Penn State, riddled with dissension last year and not finishing among the top 10-ranked teams for only the third time in 13 years, led 31-10 at halftime. The Nittany Lions led 14-0 after one quarter on TD runs of 58 and 11 yards by Warner.

They added 17 second-quarter points on a 23-yard field goal by Herb Menhardt, Warner's 89-yard kickoff return and a 3-yard run by lreshman Jon Williams. Colgate scored on a 32-yard field goal by Brian Byrne to make it 17-3 in the second period and scored its only TD 12 seconds before halftime on a 9-yard pass by quarterback Tom Rosenfeld to fullback Tom McChesney. For the game Rosenfeld, a junior from Ladue, completed 16 of 28 passes for 182 yards. Trailing 14-0, Colgate did get a break Murphy suffered a badly-bruised shoulder, the only significant Colgate injury. Colgate is idle until a Sept.

20 trip to Lehigh. CORNELL SCRIMMAGES Split squads easily outscored small-college foes in separate scrimmages. After Cornell's second- and fourth-stringers dropped Canisius, 34-13, at Ithaca, the first-and-thirds zapped Hobart, 35-3, at Geneva. Both first-string QB Mike Ryan and third-stringer Andy Schroer of Norwich ran for two TDs at Hobart. Junior tailback Mark DiTondo led Cornell rushers against Hobart with 75 yards on 11 carries.

Senior fullback Ben Tenuta rushed for two TDs, one on a 51-yard scamper, and gained 80 yards oh seven carries against Canisius, while junior tailback Bob Muha was 13-for-84. By the Associated Press Penn State coach Joe Paterno refused to get excited over his team's 54-10 opening-game football victory over Colgate yesterday before a record crowd of 78,926 at State College, Pa. "We were a little sloppy and had too many penalties, but I was pleased that our young people showed explosive-ness," said Paterno, noting that Curt Warner, who scored three touchdowns and gained 149 yards on 10 carries, had attained some maturity. Despite the Sact-Colgate scored only 10 points, Pa-XSCScT said the Red Raiders had a clever offense. "It's just that our defensive alert," he said.

"They were tough En the goal line, when they had to be." Losing coach Fred Dunlap said he thought Colgate gave up too many big plays. "I told the kids that it was tough to open against a team the caliber of Penn State, because we haven't played HOLY CROSS 21, RHODE ISLAND 14 Defensive lineman Paul Matasa-vage pounced on a fumble in the Rams' end zone for the host Crusaders' decisive touchdown. Holy Cross turned three of R.I.'s 10 turnovers into TDs and withstood a rally in the fourth quarter. Matasavage's touchdown came after R.I. quaterback Terry Lynch fumbled in his end zone at 5:14 of the fourth quarter, making the score 21-6.

ILLINOIS 35, NORTHWESTERN 9 Tide off to races, wins opener, 26-3 South ii Ail' -T! Tit? J' -i i'-- -L ft NIL AP Close in '79, not this time Ithaca 58-3 Special to The Press BLOOMSBURG, Pa. Fullback Bob Ferrigno, Ithaca College's own real-life "Incredible Hulk" and a Division III All-America candidate, scored three times in powering the Bombers to a 58-3 season-opening romp over Bloomsburg State yesterday. The onesided scoring was of upset proportions since their 1979 match was scoreless for a half before Ithaca prevailed 13-6. Leading 20-3 at the half, coach Jim Butterfield's defending Division III national champions exploded for 32 points in the third quarter. That is only three shy of the school record 35 the 1974 IC team got in one quarter against RIT.

IC's eight recovered fumbles was also almost a school record, falling one short of the number seized in a game against Springfield in 1976. Four of the five TDs in the third quarter came in about a 7-minute span before several thousand disappointed Bloomsburg fans at Robert B. Redman Stadium. Ferrigno, 200-pounder from Huntington, triggered the explosion by slipping through tackle and taking a short pass from Doug DeCarr. The play covered 46 yards and gave the Bombers a 27-3 edge.

Less than three minutes later, Ferrigno took a pitchout and galloped 36 yards. Two minutes after that Marty Conden, senior from Owego who may be the No. 2 runner to Ferrigno for IC this fall, crashed two yards up the middle to score. Just over a minute later, Dave Potenza smothered a blocked punt in the end zone. The punt had been blocked by IC linebacker Norm Jordan.

The game began on an ominous note for Bloomsburg, as IC's Fred Yaple took the opening kickoff and raced 77 yards. A 14-yard run by Ferrigno set up IC's first touchdown, a 12-yard pass from DeCarr to Jim Duncan. Bloomsburg answered that TD with a 32-yard field goal by Doug Berry after the Huskies' drive stalled at the IC 18. That was the deepest penetration all afternoon by Bloomsburg, which was playing for the first time under new coach Clark Boler. Boler is an Alabama grad who was a member of the Tide's 1961 national championship team.

Tim Connolly, IC's sophomore backup quarterback from Binghamton North, saw extensive playing time. Besides completing four of his eight passes for 35 yards, Connolly scored the eighth of IC's nine touchdowns on a 1-yard plunge. IC plays the second of three straight road games at Albany State next Saturday. Its home opener is Sept. 27 against Fordham.

Colgate, and not just running back George Stiles, had that surrounded feeling all afternoon yesterday at University Park, Pa. In the first quarter Stiles was the target of Nittany lions Matt Bradley (86), Gene Gladys (89), Frank Case (96) and Ed Pryts. At game's end, Penn State prevailed mightily, 54-10. Stanford strong in opener By The Associated Press James Mallard has run the fastest 200 meters in the world in the last twc years, but his biggest thrill, he said was catching a touchdown pass in his first football game' ever. The world-class sprinter from Tampa, took a 39-yard toss from Don Jacobs to give Alabama a 19-C lead en route to its 26-3 opening victory over Georgia Tech yesterday.

"I knew if Jacobs saw me anywhere nearttpen, he'd throw it," said Mai-; lard. "I wasn't nervous. In front of all those people, I wanted to do the best I could." The 185-pound split end "just outran the ball," said Coach Bear Bryant of Noi-2 -ranked Alabama. was the only time we threw to him, but it won't be the last time." The value of such a fast man Mallard ran the 200 meters in 19.8 and 20.02 in track meets the past two years was not lost on Bryant. "We dont want him blocking anybody," said the coach.

"That's the biggest thrill I've ever had in sports catching a football in front of 80,000 fans," Mallard said. "I am just glad Coach Bryant gave me a chance to play this fall, but I know I have to keep getting better each week." He spent tne summer catching footballs from an Alabama quarterback, Alan Gray, preparing for his football debut. Bryant said he was proud of the Kama defense, best in the nation last season against scoring, for keeping Tech from getting a touchdown. "We never did look like an Alabama team is supposed to look on offense," he said, "but I can't be critical because they won." Bryant did say he was highly pleased late in the game the way Gray moved the team and the way he ran "himself. Gray took the Tide 80 yards in 12 plays after Tech 's field goal One key to the game, Bryant said, was the mid-90 temperatures, with Alabama able to use more players than Tech.

Bill Curry, in his first game as a college coach, said his Tech team gave the Crimson Tide "two easy touchdowns, the first after a dropped attempt to punt and another when we blew a coverage (on Mallard). We were over-anxious, but that's inexcusable. You give Alabama 14 points and you're dead." The Crimson Tide, Curry said, "is a great team, the best I've ever seen in college. They're particularly great on defense. I've never seen linebackers and linemen like that.

"Noone will sustain a running game against NORTH CAROLINA 35, FIRMAN 13 Tailbacks Amos Lawrence and Kelvin Bryant combined for more than 200 yards rushing and five touchdowns to spark the 14th-ranked Tar Heels. SOUTHERN MISS 17, TULANE 14 -Winston Walker booted a 36-yard field goal with 21 seconds left in the game to complete a comeback by Southern Miss, which scored all of its points in the second half. E. KENTUCKY 24, KENTUCKY ST. 21 David Flores kicked three field goals and an extra point, including a 3-pointer with 1:39 left that was Eastern Kentucky's winning margin.

WEST VIRGINIA 41, CINCINNATI 27 Senior tailback Robert Alexander rushed for two touchdowns nd 187 yards and fullback Walter Easley scored twice more as West Virginia overcame a sluggish start to win its opener under new coach Don Nehlen. KENTUCKY 17, UTAH STATE 10 -Terry Henry scored two touchdowns including the game-winner with 11:06 left for Kentucky.

RICHMOND 20.

BOWLING GREEN 17 QB Steve Krainock's 1-yard plunge with 1:13 left enabled Richmond to snap an 11-game losing streak. Southwest West By The Associated Press Quarterback John Elway riddled the Oregon defense for 250 yards passing yesterday to lead 15th-ranked Stanford to a 35-25 victory over the Ducks in the football season opener for (he two Pacific 10 Conference schools. The Cardinals, one of five Pac-10 teams eligible for the Rose Bowl this season, scored three times within nine minutes of the second quarter to open up a 21-0 lead. Oregon rallied behind the running of junior college transfer Reggie Brown to narrow the deficit to 21-17 on Brown's 30-yard run with 12: 02 left. But Elway, a 6-foot-4 sophomore, directed Stanford to two late touchdowns to clinch the victory.

The Stanford quarterback completed 17 of 27 passes, including touchdown tosses of 41 yards to Ken Margerum in the second quarter and 11 yards to Andre Tyler for the Cards' final score with 2:41 left in the game. Brown, a transfer from Pasedena City College, rushed for 149 yards in 21 carries in his first game for the Ducks. Arrin Nelson, playing his first game in nearly two years for Stanford, gained 122 yards in 30 carries. Nelson set up the touchdown that clinched the vie- tory when he took a swing pass from Elway and scampered 52 yards to the Oregon 12. Rob Moore's subsequent one-yard scoring run put the Cardinals on top 28-17 with 6:42 to go.

Oregon failed to move the ball on its next possession and turned over possession on its own 25-yard line to set up Stanford's last touchdown. COLORADO ST. 21, AIR FORCE 9 Quarterback Steve Fairchild passed for 322 yards and three touchdowns, as Colorado State spoiled the Falcons' Western Athletic Conference debut. Colorado State capitalized repeatedly on Air Force's lack of speed, starting early in the second half when Fairchild hit split end Tony Goolsby on a 38-yard pass play and a 14-3 lead. Air Force countered just five plays later when Scott Schafer rifled a 59-yard pass to freshman Keith Dulaney to help set up Schater's 4-yard scoring toss to wide receiver Andy Bark.

But three minutes after that, CSU scored again as running back Alvin Lewis caught a short Fairchild pass and, aided by a block from tight end Mike Camp, scored from 44 yards out. The Falcons, having more success through the air than on the ground with their new wishbone formation, threatened once more, but Schafer's pass into the end zone was intercepted by defensive back Greg Tillman in the final period.

Will Ken Stabler make a difference? Can he lead the Houston Oilers past Pittsburgh? Of course, one game does not make a season but if the Oilers and their brand-new 35-year-old quarterback hope to make this a championship season, they'll have to battle their way past the Steelers to do it. They'll make believers out of a lot of people if they can do it today in Pittsburgh, where they've won just three of 12 games. In the second weekend of the 1979 season, Houston was blasted 38-7 in Pittsburgh. "Well, we played them second last year and that was a disaster, so I guess opening up is better than playing them second," Houston coach Bum Phillips observered. Today's other games in the first weekend of the National Football League season are Detroit at Los Angeles, Oakland at Kansas City, Chicago at Green Bay, Cleveland at New England, Atlanta at Minnesota, Miami at Buffalo, the New York Giants at St.

Louis, San Francisco at New Orleans, Tampa Bay at Cincinnati, Baltimore at the New York Jets, Denver at Philadelphia and San Diego at Seattle. Tomorrow night's game is Dallas at Washington. "I feel good throwing the ball," said Stabler. "I'm in good physical shape, and I'm throwing the ball as well as I ever have, however good that is I think the last couple of years in Oakland I was starting to get a little stale and maybe start- ing to lose a little interest in it. The trade here gives me new blood, new life." IU And Houston hopes it'll give the Oilers some life.

-For the past two seasons, their offense has been heavily ground-oriented with Earl Campbell carrying the vast majority of the load, enough to win rushing titles in each of his first two pro seasons. For Pittsburgh, the quarterback will, of course, be Terry Bradshaw, winner of the Most Valuable Player award in Super Bowl XIV, when he guided the Steelers past Los Angeles 31-19. His kid brother, Craig, will be watching him work today from Houston's side of the field. The rookie out of Utah State, a 7th-round draft pick, is the Oilers' No.3 quarterback behind Stabler and Gifford Nielsen. He probably has a bit of an idea what his brother any weekday between 8:30 a.m.

and 4:30 p.m Season tickets for all seven home games are $56 or $70, depending on location. parking will be available at Skytop and in downtown lots with express shuttle service to and from the Dome. will be going through. Craig assumes the role of the Steelers' quarterback in Houston workouts. "I play Terry Bradshaw every day.

I'm doing pretty good too," he said. "I don't foresee playing a down on Sunday and for the team's sake I hope I don't," he added. The Rams, who came close to upsetting the Steelers in the Super Bowl, begin a new era. They'll be a few miles down the road from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in their new home, Anaheim Stadium, once the home of the World Football League's California Sun. For the moment, the great quarterback debate seems to be settled.

Pat Haden, who lost his starting job to Vince Ferragamo midway in 1979 due to a broken finger, has regained his No.l spot, due in part to Ferragamo's hamstring pull. For the Lions, whose promising 1979 season wound up as a 2-14 disaster when quarterback Gary Danielson was injured in an exhibition game, K)80 holds even more promise. Danielson is back and now he has Billy Sims in the backfield with him. Sims, out of Oklahoma and the Heisman Trophy winner as a junior, was the No.l draft pick in the league last April 29 and is being called a "franchise" running back similar to Campbell, Ottis Anderson and O.J. Simpson.

The Raiders, who may be playing their last season in Oakland (owner Al Davis tried to move the team to Los Angeles last winter but ran into stiff resistance within the league), have a great quarterback debate of their own going. Dan Pastorini, acquired from Houston in the Stabler deal, battled almost evenly with journeyman quarterback Jim Plunkett during the preseason in statistics other than Plunkett throwing for five TDs to Pastorini's one. In Cincinnati, Ken Anderson is injured once again so Jack Thompson, the No.l draft choice in 1979, will be the quarterback as Forrest Gregg, Cleveland's head coach during 1975-77, takes over the Bengal reins. The other new head coaches of 1980 are Baltimore's Mike McCormack (formerly head coach in Philadelphia, 1972-74), and St. Louis' Jim Hanifan, who was an assistant coach with the Cardinals during 1973-78.
