"When the offensive line is blocking like that and the receivers are making catches like that, all I'm doing is standing back there and throwing." Miami's first TD came when Testaverde was throwing toward Michael Irvin in the back of the end zone, but tight end Alfredo Roberts happened to be in way and grabbed the ball for a TD that made it 7-0. Leading 7-3 at halftime, Miami went ahead, 14-3, in the third period when Testaverde hit tight end Charles Henry for 8 yards. After Anthony Stafford fumbled the kickoff, Testaverde passed 5 yards to Irvin for another TD to make it 21-3. The fighting came in the final minutes when the two benches emptied. Sooners for the second straight year, 28-16, and after Vinny Testaverde picked the Sooners (2-1) apart as if they were a scout team at Tuesday practice.

"There are no words for it," said Oklahoma halfback Spencer Tillman. "They just dominated us." Said linebacker George Mira: "To beat them convincingly, that's what feels good." Mira also said if the two teams played 10 times Miami would win all 10. "We won't have any trouble forgetting this game," said Brian Bosworth. Or that's what an Oklahoma spokesman said the linebacker said. Maybe for the first time in his life, Bosworth, who had 14 tackles, wasn't talking to the media.

So where does all that leave the Hurricanes? Two things to consider: Fact: Miami pounded Oklahoma. Future: Ahead on the Hurricanes' schedule come the likes of Northern Illinois, Cincinnati, East Carolina and Tulsa. Only Florida State and Pittsburgh appear as mild threats. And that's not a lot. Fact: Testaverde came into the showdown as one of three leading contenders for the Heisman.

Future: It is going to take a lot for Heisman voters to forget Testaverde's incredible day: Four TD passes, 21-for-28 for 261 yards, a school-record 14 straight completions, most of them in the third period when Miami buried the Sooners. "He's the best quarterback we've ever played against," said Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer.

When it was over and Miami once again owned Oklahoma lock, stock and No.

1, only one question remained: Were the national championship and Heisman Trophy won on the same steamy afternoon in the Orange Bowl? The case can be made. Certainly after the Hurricanes (4-0) beat the top-ranked Details on Page ID, Baseball fff i Alert thinking helps Cornell Colgate's strategy is foiled By JOHN W. FOX Sports Editor HAMILTON Opportunist quarterback Marty Stallone's strong right arm and alert Stuart Mitchell's upf-lung left hand sparked Cornell in a 21-12 football victory over Colgate yesterday. Stallone was the more conspicuous. Twice he burned a zone defense with touchdown bombs down the left sideline to Shaun Hawkins.

The first, covering 49 yards, came three plays after Cornell recovered a Kenny Gamble fumble and gave the Big Red a 14-0 lead. The second covered 39 yards and, if not the most important play of the second half, came on the next play after what was the most important. Colgate had just drawn within 14-10 on Mike Powers' 39-yard field goal with 1:52 left in the third quarter. And planned on getting more in a hurry. Powers' onside kickoff, executed according to plan, popped diagonally toward the Colgate bench.

Before a Cornell man could touch it, intended receiver Tony Home raced to a leaping catch at the Cornell 46. That's where Mitchell, the left-hand corner of Cornell's front receiving line, saved the day with a fair-catch signal and a bump from Home. Instead of Colgate's control of ball and momentum, it See CORNELL Page 50 Tigers grind EFA, 28-6 By VIV BERNSTEIN Staff Writer ELMIRA When your backs rush for 314 yards and your defense gives up 30, when three backs carry for 75 yards or more and four different players score touch-, downs, winning a football game should be a breeze. That's what Union-Endicott did to Elmira Free Academy yesterday, running away with a 28-6 non-league victory at Dunn Field. U-E is 3-0; EFA dropped to 2-1.

But it wasn't as easy as it sounds. Quarterback Dan Woodruff passed for more than 100 yards on a seemingly confused U-E secondary. And Elmira Free Academy didn't fade until the fourth quarter, when U-E scored two touchdowns to put it away. "They wore us down," EFA coach Richard Senko said. Indeed.

With fullback Jim Crunden rushing for 100 yards and a touchdown, quarterback Dave O'Hara adding 75 yards and a score, halfback Joe Hopko also rushing for 75 yards and a TD and halfback Mike Ripic gaining 43 yards and another TD, it's easy to see why EFA was out of gas by the fourth. Typical U-E football: Grind 'em down 'til they can't get up. "Defensively," U-E coach Fran Angeline said, "when you run the wishbone, you can stop some things it's tough to stop everything." The bread-and-butter man was Crunden, who ran 15 times up the middle of EFA's defense for his' first 100-yard game. His twisting, second-efforts resulted in bursts of 13, 14, 17 and 27 yards. "One of these days people are going to have to notice our fullback," Angeline said.

"He's been coming on." Going in, it was EFA back Michael Harper who was supposed to be the runner to watch. He had 319 rushing yards and three TDs in the Blue Devils' two victories.

Tailback Bob Norris, a Union-Endicott High graduate, ran 54 yards to score on a fourth-down play with 6:40 left to rally Delaware's Blue Hens to a 20-19 Yankee Conference football victory yesterday over Richmond's Spiders. Norris' run came on the second fourth-ahd-one gamble by the Blue Hens in a 13-play, 99-yard march that started with a pass interception by Ken Lucas barely out of the end zone. Norris finished with 84 yards rushing on 11 carries and caught four passes for 94 yards and a touchdown.

I Quarterback Rich Gannon's scoring throws were for 65 yards to Norris in the second quarter a short flare in which he ran the last 55 yards and 28 yards to tight end Jeff Modesitt. Rice not sorry King Rice, Binghamton's tailback who suffered a knee injury in last Friday's 33-3 victory and may be sidelined for the season, said he's not worrying about how it will affect his future in basketball. "Right now, I'm looking to next week," said Rice last night, while attending Seton CC's 16-0 win over Ithaca. "I'm not going to worry about what happens down the road." Rice, a point guard being courted by several NCAA Division I schools, isn't second-guessing his decision to play football, either. "To the people out there who said 'I told you Rice said, "if I had to make the decision again, I'd do the same thing." Binghamton coach Steve Deinhardt said he's not sure who will replace Rice at tailback.

Two possibilities are J.J. Allen, Rice's backup, and starting split end Wendell Mack. (Related story on Page 1A.) Morris to suit up EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. New York Giants running back Joe Morris, released Saturday from a hospital after spending two nights there following an allergic reaction, is listed as doubtful for today's home game against the New Orleans Saints. Ed Croke, the Giants publicity director, said Morris would suit up, but would play only if necessary.

Morris suffered an allergic reaction to two medicines he took earlier in the week. He was given medicine to relieve swelling for a broken nose and was later given a different medication to relieve leg cramps. A boon for Angels California catcher Bob Boone was manager for a day in the Angels' 1-0 loss to the Texas Rangers yesterday. The day after the Angels wrapped up the AL West title, manager Gene Mauch stepped aside for one game and let Boone make the moves. The outcome was a two-hitter by Texas' Charlie Hough.

"I got fired," Boone said afterward. "No, I haven't done it before. No, what happened wasn't fun. Charlie Hough offered the only critique of my performance." Boone ran the club until the eighth inning, when he entered the game defensively and returned the responsibility to Mauch. Ex-Falcon dies SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Wilson Faumuina, 32, a former pro football player for the Atlanta Falcons, died Friday at a relative's home in San Francisco.

Faumuina, who played for San Jose State College, was a first-round draft pick in 1977.

Making their first playoff appearance since 1979-80, the Whalers swept the Adams Division champion Quebec Nordiques before forcing Montreal to win game seven of the division final in overtime. The Capitals swept their playoff nemesis, the New York Islanders, but were shockingly ousted by the New York Rangers, a team that se- See CAPSPage 8D land for the first time," said Evans, the club's elder statesman with 14 full years of seniority in Boston. "This is the greatest feeling in the world," Hurst said after his fourth shutout, all in Fenway Park. Evans homered after Toronto startef Jim Clancy retired the first 14 batters.

That was all Hurst needed, although Boston added an insurance run in the seventh. Hurst (13-7) scattered six hits, struck out eight and didn't issue a walk in reaching a career high for victories in his fourth consecutive complete game and 11th of the year. He is 8-2 with a 2.38 ERA in his last 11 starts, and 6-0 with a 1.68 ERA in seven starts at home. Wade Boggs went l-for-4 in the game, dropping his league-leading batting average to .353.

The Red Sox, who have led the AL East since May 15, reduced their magic number to 1 yesterday by edging the Toronto Blue 2-0, on Dwight Evans' homer and southpaw Bruce Hurst's fifth consecutive victory this month.

Boston will advance to the AL Championship Series for the first time since 1975 with one more victory or a Toronto defeat. The New York Yankees were mathematically eliminated in a 1-0 loss to Detroit. "This is like going to Disney Questions or comments?
