I don't think speed had anything to do with it. Raible was 50 yards open. You writers could have scored on that one." FSU's defense was pulled in to stop a third-down-and-one play at the FSU 42 when Myers unloaded a pass to Raible who was about 20 yards past the Seminole secondary. "Georgia Tech certainly did an excellent job of preparing for us," said Mudra. Gamecocks Upset 1 8th-Ranked Baylor COLUMBIA, S.C.

(AP)Quarterback Jeff Grantz steered independent South Carolina to a 24-13 college football upset Saturday night of 18th ranked Baylor, leading the Gamecocks on three touchdown marches and booting superb punts that put the visitors in holes on several occasions. Backs Kevin Long and Clarence Williams spearheaded South Carolina's running attack, with Williams scoring on sweeps to the right capping 64 and 73-yard first half drives. Bobby Marino kicked a 24-yard field goal just before the half to cancel out Baylor's second period 28-yarder by Bubba Hicks.

Halfback David Sims got Tech going by scoring from the three with 7:10 left in the first quarter.

Don Bessillieu also kicked a 38-yard field goal for the only scoring in the third period. Myers led the Tech ground parade with 99 yards on 10 carries. He was followed by reserve fullback Tony Head, nine carries for 48 yards; Pat Moriarty, 11 for 47; Raible, two for 41, Sims, nine for 40; and Rucker, 10 for 34. FSU's Leon Bright, who had been averaging 103 yards per game this season, was limited to 35 yards on 11 carries. Rudy Thomas had three for 25 and Larry Key four for 23.

Starting quarterback Clyde Walker hit on 13 of 23 passes for 130 yards, and back-up Steve Mathieson completed six of 18 for 77. FSU receiver Mike Shumann had five receptions for 97 yards, all in the second half after the Seminoles were down, 20-0. Rodgers was his old light- earted self after the game. "I got a lot of instruction this week in the mail and I put some of it in," Rodgers said. "all of the instruction came from the fans.

(AP) Elusive Joe Washington slashed for two touchdowns, including one on a 74-yard punt return, but No. 1-ranked Oklahoma had to watch as Colorado missed an extra point kick with 1:23 left in the game before escaping with a 21-20 college football victory.

Washington also set up the third Oklahoma score with a 19-yard run, but fired-up Colorado gave the Sooners all they wanted in the Big Eight Conference opener for both schools. The outcome was uncertain until the final seconds as the previously unbeaten Buffaloes scored with 1:23 left on Bill Waddy's eight -yard touchdown reception fron quarterback David Williams. Colorado elected to go for the tie, but Tom MacKenzie missed on the conversion kick and Oklahoma's undefeated streak remained alive at 33 games. The Sooners are riding a 24-game winning streak, longest in the nation.

Hertel, a 185-pound sophomore, replaced regular quarterback Vince Evans, who was injured last week, and gave the Trojans their fourth victory without a loss, bringing them back from a 10-0 first period deficit. A crowd of 54,600 in Kinnick Stadium watched the Hawkeyes Iowa jumped to a 10-0 lead on a 19-yard field goal by Nick Quartaro and an eight-play, 25- yard touchdown drive engineered by sophomore quarterback Tom McLaughlin and capped by fullback Bob Holmes' two-yard plunge. With 1:26 left in the half, USC marched 50 yards in 10 plays with Hertel scoring on a threeyard run. The kick by Glen Walker made it 10-7.

A short punt set up Nebraska on the Miami 44. Two plays later, Ferragamo hit wide receiver Bobby Thomas with a 40- yard scoring pass.

In the first half, Miami looked every bit the team that narrowly fell to No. 1 Oklahoma a week ago. But Ferragamo sparked the 'Husker offense in the second half and the defense took its cue and buckled down. Miami's halftime lead came on the strength of three Chris Dennis field goals. Dennis scored first for the Hurricanes, kicking field goals from 49 and 24 yards in the opening period and adding an 18-yarder in the second quarter.

But by the time we started to improve defensively, it was already too late." Tech moved 87 yards in 10 plays on its first possession, and had help on a 15-yard penalty for pulling the face mask. On a clock, fourth-and-one at the FSU three, Sims took "This a pitchout and skirted around right end untouched.

ATLANTA As the final seconds ticked off the Grant Field a photographer, standing near an endzone, told his girl, is the worst team I've seen since the Florida game in 1973." He was referring to Florida State in both cases. The Seminoles' 30-0 loss to Georgia Tech had brought back memories FSUs0-11 season in 1973. The Seminoles perhaps fell to an all-time low in their 49-0 to the University of Florida in the final game of '73.

The 1975 Seminoles haven't yet reached the depths of disthat the '73 Seminoles reached, but if they don't make improvement soon, they might. The impression that Coach Darrell Mudra has given, and one had seemed to be true before the Tech loss, was that the Seminoles were slowly improving and that somewhere down the would turn into a good team. However, Mudra has said that the Seminole "future may be the road a bit." There is a question of how long FSU supwill wait for a future that is down the road, however. An FSU alumnus had heated words with Gary Grouwinkel, FSU offensive co-ordinator who installed the new Wing-T, the dressing room after the loss. How much unrest arises in the Seminole camp will likely be determined in the next couple of games when FSU travels to play Tech and the University of Florida.

Both Virginia Tech and Florida run the Wishbone, an offense Tech used to get 367 yards on the ground. is the first Wishbone team we've faced this year, and sure we're going to do better against the Wishbone in the next games," said Mudra. Mudra says that he still has confidence in the FSU Wing-T Luther Golden News Sports Editor At the FSU- Game offense. "We had been averaging 340 yards total offense before we played Tech. We have moved the ball.

The Tech offense just did a good job on us." FSU had a total offense of 272 yards against Tech, but only managed to get to the Tech 12. "This is the first week that we have really gone backward," said Mudra. "We'll just have to find out how the coaches and players respond after this licking. We'll see if we can come back." Mudra credited his defense with playing with greater emotion in the second half, when Tech was limited to a third-quarter field goal and a fourth-quarter touchdown. FSU tackle Greg Johnson said that the defense" "settled down and began to do the job," in the second half.

"We didn't make any kind of adjustments in our defense, we just played a little better," said Johnson. "We just got off to a bad start." The Seminole fans who watched the game will probably have nightmares for the next week, wondering if this is 1973 all over again.
