I And that's just what the Com- modores did, stunning 20th-ranked Florida 24-9 before a Dudley Field crowd of 41,000 and a national cable TV audience. After warming up In their tra- ditional black jersies, the Cbmmo- dores exploded from the dressing room to start the game wearing brand new gold jerseys. I Coach Watson Brown called the sartorial surprise "the most expen- I sive pep talk in history," but added r'fr if 1 Nit i Mr -MM: t-t? rr ,2 4 i SEC that old-fashioned football, not new football fashion, was what did in the Gators.

"We didn't win this one with a lot of fancy plays; we won it the old-fashioned way, by blocking and tackling," said Brown. "That's the first time that's happened since I've been here." Brown, whose team snapped a three-game losing streak with the victory, had termed the game "pivotal" to his team's season. "What does this do for our team? It puts us 3-3 with Ole Miss up next next," said Brown. "It was big." "This is definitely the biggest win since I've been here, in terms of its importance to our program," said senior receiver Boo Mitchell, who caught eight passes for 93 yards. "It keeps our bowl hopes alive." For such a special occasion, Brown decided to go with the gold.

"The last time we beat Florida we were wearing gold," said Vanderbilt quarterback Eric Jones (5) tries to avoid Florida tackier Rhondy Weston. Yellow Jackets sting S. Carolina; USC squeaks by Brown. "That was in 1984, and Vandy went on to a bowl. I thought it was time to try it again.

We ordered new jersies and kept them secret from everybody except the captains, right up to kickoff." Florida, 5-2 after back-to-back upsets, was playing without its starting quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate running back Emmitt Smith.

The Pacific-10 Conference victory gave the Trojans a 6-0 overall record and a 4-0 conference mark.

Washington dropped to 4-2 and 1-2. Cary Conklin's third touchdown pass to Brian Slater pulled the Huskies to within 28-27 with 1:39 left in the game. But Conklin, who had completed 13 of his last 14 passes, underthrew Vince Weath-ersby on a two-point conversion attempt to end the Huskies' hopes. The Trojans led all the way after going up 7-0 on Leroy Holt's 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. But Conklin ran for a touchdown and connected with Slater three times for scores as the Huskies refused to fade.

Peete, who completed 16 of 22 for 186 yards and was not intercepted, scored on an 8-yard scramble that put Southern Cal ahead 144 in the second period. UCLA 38 California 21 Troy Aikman threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score as second-ranked UCLA made a bid for the top spot with a victory over California.

The game, billed by some in South Bend as a battle of Catholics vs. Convicts, lived up to its billing.

From a pre-game scuffle between the teams outside the tunnel leading to the dressing room to the failed two-point conversion, the 59,075 fans in attendance were treated to an exciting show.

Michigan. 17 17 Iowa Iowa defensive end Joe Mott wrestled the ball from Michigan's Tracy Williams at the Hawkeyes' 1-yard line with 1 minute, 21 seconds left to preserve a tie with the 15th-ranked Wolverines in Big Ten Conference football. Michigan appeared to be driving for the go-ahead touchdown in the battle of conference title contenders when Mott, a 6-foot-4, 240-pound senior, made his big play.

Gaining possession with 7:56 left after an Iowa punt, Michigan drove from its own 36 to a second-and-goal at the Iowa 1. Williams then took a handoff from quarterback Michael Taylor, cut through the right side of the line and fell toward the end zone as he was tackled by linebacker Melvin Foster. But before Williams hit the ground, Mott reached in and took the ball from him. Iowa drove to near midfield, but Chuck Hartlieb's desperation pass to Marv Cook on the final play was broken up by David Key and Vida Murray at the Michigan 3. LAMBUTH From Page 1D Eagle football program for three of its four years.

"I have to give credit to the players." Ignacio Aguilerra was one of the players deserving credit. His 21-yard field goal with 2:59 left in the game gave the Eagles their victory margin. Also on the Eagles' credit list was sophomore wide receiver Danny Crockett. He had six catches for 165 yards and two touchdowns. And last, but certainly not least, was Garner.

In addition to his three touchdown passes, he also completed 10 of 20 passes for 267 yards. "The offensive line gets all the credit because they gave me all the time in the world to throw," Garner said. Lambuth's aerial assault started when Garner hit Crockett with a 35-yard scoring pass midway through the first quarter. Millsaps narrowed Lambuth's lead to 7-6 when Terrence Turner scored on a 27-yard run on the next possession, but the Majors missed the extra point. Garner ended the first quarter with a 28-yard touchdown pass to Mike Hopper.

Millsaps Coach Harper Davis wasn't surprised by Lambuth's passing.

"Anybody that has scouted us knows the best way to beat us is to throw, throw, throw," he said. Millsaps finally got into the aerial act in the fourth quarter, when quarterback Rusty Davis fired two touchdown passes to Jerry Leonard to tie the game 21-21. Garner wasted no time after the Majors tied the game. His first play from scrimmage was a 40-yard pass to Hopper that moved the ball to Millsaps 20-yard line. A holding and an offsides penalty moved the ball even closer, setting the stage for Agui-lerra's game-winning kick.

"Our guys just made up their minds that we're going to play from the start of the game to the end," Hardegree said. "This is a great win.

The Yellow Jackets, bolting to a 31-0 halftime lead with a near flawless performance, hadn't whipped a major opponent since downing Duke 34-6 late in the 1986 campaign.
