Bulldogs down unbeaten 'Bama If THE GREENWOOD Ark 4 Sports Sunday, November 2, 1980 Page 9 By DANNY SMITH Staff Writer JACKSON The largest crowd ever to see a football game in the State of Mississippi (55,891) along with scouts from six bowl games, witnessed a phenomenal effort by the Mississippi State Bulldog defense in Memorial Stadium here Saturday, as the 'Dogs upset previously unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Alabama, 6-3. The game snapped the Tide's winning streak at 28 games, the longest in college football to date. MSU kicker Dana Moore accounted for all the Bulldog's points on field goals of 37 and 22 yards after 'Bama took a 3-0 lead in the first half. ON THE LAST PLAY of the second quarter, Peter Kim kicked a 49-yard field goal to send Alabama into the locker room with a three point advantage.

The score was set up when MSU's Martye McDole fumbled a fair catch on a punt and the Tide's Mike Pitts recovered at the State 34-yard line. The Bullies, however, rebounded quickly in the third quarter. After State linebacker John Miller recovered a fumble at the Alabama 29-yard line, Moore connected on his first 3-pointer of the day with 12:04 remaining in the third quarter. AS TIME EXPIRED in the third period, 'the Dogs moved the ball to the Alabama 8-yard line By this time, the home crowd sensed that victory was possible, and as the teams changed ends of the field, the mounting excitement brought the crowd to its feet as they cheered the Bulldogs on. The Tide defense stiffened, however, and once again Moore was called upon, and responded by providing the Bulldogs with the winning points.

A DEFENSIVE BATTLE ensued until Alabama began what appeared likely to become a gain-wining drive in the closing minutes. The tension was almost unbearable on the part of both teams until the drive was halted at the State four yard line when defensive end Billy Jackson recovered a Tide fumble with six seconds remaining to play. The game was anything but over, though, as State quarterback John Bond fumbled on the last play of the game. State halfback Donald Ray King fell on the ball as time expired. THE WIN ENDED a string of 22 consecutive losses to the Crimson Tide by State football teams, and set off a burst of emotion inside the stadium.

It was the Tide's first loss since a 24-14 defeat at the hands of Southern California in 1978. A jubliant MSU coach was overheard saying, "people don't realize how those kids (the defense) worked." BULLDOGS HEAD COACH Emory Bellard commented "I've coached in some important games, and I've won more than I've lost, but none rather sweeter than this one." A tffrnntri nMnflimirtrMli iff ni infflwuiinfr-'fi mm minii. ftMMawi-ttttl AP The MSU mentor added, "we gave 'em a couple of breaks, but our defense held. It was a heck of a performance by the defense. They just caused things to what they've been doing for three weeks in a row." The legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant summed up his team's loss by saying, "they just kept the ball from us and converted on third downs.

That's where they beat us. We'll just have to find out what the rest of the season has in store for us." MSU WAS DOMINANT in the statistical category as well as on the field. The Bulldogs are now 7-2 overall, with 3-1 record in the tough Southeastern Conference. Alabama now has a respectable 7-1 record, but the attention today is centered on the "giant killer" Bulldogss. two points just before halftime to take a 30-0 lead into the dressing room.

THE DELTA DEVILS opened the third period with a 47-yard field goal from Stan Jones and with the quarter coming to a close, Farmer found Tyrone Young for a 16-yard scoring strike, making the score 40-0 at this time. In the fourth quarter, the Panthers got on the scoreboard as Mitchell bucked in from three yards out and the point after was good, but MVSU led 40-7. With the game clock winding down, Charles Edwards, defensive tackle, picked off a Mitchell pass and ran it in from 35 yards out for the final score. The PAT made it 47-7. COACH COOLEY said following the game, "I'm pleased with the way we played.

JUNIOR State downed Alabama's No.l-ranked Tide 6-3 On the ensuing kickoff, Panther back Norman Brisco coughed up the ball on the 20-yard liine and Kris Carmichael fell on it for the Devils. With 3:49 left on the clock in the initial period and the third play from scrimmage following the fumble, Farmer found Wright open in the end zone for a 10-yard scoring strike.

The PAT was good and the score was 14-0 at the end of the first period. TAKING UP WHERE they left off in the first the Devils scored again on a 7-yard pass from Farmer to Jackson, and the Devils were then leading 21-0. With the smell of a route in the making, Larry Harmon picked off a Maurice Mitchell pass at the 20-yard line and Farmer hit tightend James Taylor with a 35-yard strike, then found Jackson with a 13-yard toss for the score.
