Neb. (AP) Peter Woods and Joe Stewart combined on a record 98-yerd pass play Saturday, lifting No. 17 Missouri to a 34-24 upset over third-ranked Nebraska in a Big Eight Conference football game. The nationally televised tilt featured a see-saw first half and was still in doubt until Tim Gibbons iced it for the Missouri Tigers with a 34-yard field goal with 1:19 remaining in the game. Woods' go-ahead scoring pass earlier in the fourth quarter was a record by a Big Eight Conference passer, besting the 97-yard 1965 effort by Kansas' Bill Fenton to Willie Ray Smith in a Kansas-Texas Tech game.

Nebraska's hopes faded with five minutes left when a broken Nebraska play led to Dave Shamblin's fumble, which was recovered by Missouri's Bruce Carter. Nebraska had one more shot after the fumble, but Corn-huskers quarterback Vince Ferrragamo's pass Was intercepted by Mark Kirkpatrick. Nebraska's only second half scoring came from field goals of 20 and 21 yards by Al Eveland, the second giving the Huskers a 24-23 lead before Woods came back with his game-breaking touchdown strike. For most of the season, Woods has been tagged the Tigers' No. 2 quarterback.

But he has logged more playing time because of an injury to top signal-caller Steve Pisarkiewicz. Handling the running chores the bulk of the afternoon for Missouri was Dean Leibson, a replacement I-back for the injured Curt Brown, the Big Eight Conference's leading rusher. The teams matched each other with three touchdowns each in the firet half. But two Missouri kick conversions and a field goal by Gibbons provided the 23-18 halftime score. Nebraska missed all its first half conversion attempts, once on a kick and twice on two-point pass efforts that failed.

Missouri struck first after a Rob Fitzgerald in- terception of a Ferragamo pass and Woods scored later from the one. Nebraska bounced back with a pair of touchdowns, one when Kent Smith covered a punt blocked by Larry Valasec in the end zone and another when I-back Monte Anthony plunged over from the one. The Tigers put together a pair of TDs 37 seconds apart, The first came on a Woods-toKellen Winslow pass covering nine yards. Nebraska's Richard Berns fumbled on the ensuing kickoff and a Missouri reverse by Leo Lewis took the ball within inches of the Huskers goal. Woods then dived over.

Nebraska added another TD on a Ferragamo plunge after Missouri's Mike Newman fumbled a Huskers punt. Missouri capped the first half scoring with a Gibbons' field goal. lost to Arkansas (4-1) NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)- Tim Ellis and Curtis Weathers combined on a 47-yard touchdown pass on the final play of the third quarter as Mississippi overcame a rash of mistakes to down Vanderbilt 20-3 Saturday in a Southeastern Conference football game. Ellis, under pressure from the Commodore line for the first time in the game, scrambled to his right and spotted Weathers i alone at the Vandy 35.

I Weathers caught the pass 1 and tiptoed down the sideline for the touchdown. Mississippi added another touchdown with only 71 seconds remaining when Leon Perry raced 58 yards for a touchdown, breaking a tackle at the Vandy 40. Until Weathers scored, Ole Miss had nursed a 6-3 lead that came on field goals of 21 and 28 yards by Hoppy Langley.

(AP) --Fullback Dennis Johnson and tailback Walter Packer bruised and slashed Southern Mississippi's defenses Saturday night to give fumbling Mississippi State a 14-6 football victory over the Golden Eagles. Johnson burst 11 yards through guard for a second quarter touchdown and Packer circled five yards around end for a fourth period score to produce the triumph for the nation's 20th-ranked Bulldogs.

Hanging On NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -Running back Terry Miller rambled for 159 yards and senior quarterback Charlie Weatherbie came off the bench to direct Oklahoma State to three second-half scores as the Cowboys upset fifth-ranked Oklahoma 31-24 Saturday. It was only Oklahoma's second loss in 41 games under Coach Barry Switzer and dropped 'the Sooners from the unbeaten ranks this season. The Cowboys, with freshman Harold Bailey a surprise starter at quarterback, jumped off to a 10-0 lead early in the first quarter with one of the scores coming on a 72-yard scamper by Miller. But the Sooners got three long-range touchdowns-one of them when tackle Richard Murray took a midair fumble and raced 21 yards into the end zone to lead 14-10 after the first' period and 24-13 at the half.
