ST. PETERSBURG TIMES SUNDAY. NOVEMBER 4. 1979 7C another 35-yard field goal with 1:18 to play. The Rattlers came back after the kickoff, and with a fourth down at their own 37, Knight passed 38 yards to Clarence Chester for a first down at the Bulldog 25.

But rolling out to pass, Knight was sucked for an 11-yard loss and time ran out state colleges Xames shock Wilttainiy Loons FAKVflO again, Doses 19-14 Penn State couldn't capitalize on its long ground drives. Paterno said Penn State simply couldn't handle Miami's speed. He said the Hurricanes did a fine job of keeping State off balance and a good job in the clutch of cutting down the Lions' running game. Penn State quarterback Dayle Tate, who had an embarrassing afternoon with 11 completions for only 109 yards and three interceptions, insisted, "we're not sweating the fact that we can't throw, because I know we can." Tate made reference to the problems earlier in the week of two Penn State players being arrested, the latest in a series of arrests, ineligibilities, defections, and a general breakdown in discipline that has staggered Paterno's team this season. "We had some things happen that slowed us down a bit in practice.

It took awhile to get going," Tate said. Associated Pros STATE COLLEGE, Pa. Miami coach Howard Schnellenberger didn't tell freshman quarterback Jim Kelly that he was starting against Penn State until several hours before Saturday's intersectionai football game. Kelly, who completed 17 of 30 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns in a 26-10 Miami victory, said he then went to his room and regurgitated. Schnellenberger explained that he gave Kelly the young passer's first starting assignment because the coach felt his team had to throw the ball if it hoped to beat favored Penn State.

"Kelly is our best thrower," Schnellenberger said. "That's why we made the decision this morning (Saturday) to start him." The Miami coach, brimming with excitement over his team's upset victory over the 19th-ranked Nittany Lions, said of Kelly: "He was just super. I've never seen a quarterback play as well and as poised in his debut as Kelly was today." Kelly, too, felt the excitement of Spacial to Th St. Patartburg Timn HUNTSVILLE, Ala. For the third week in a row, Florida University went down in defeat, most certainly ending their hopes of repeating the 1978 Division I-AA national championship.

Three weeks ago the Rattlers were riding high, ranked No. 1 in their division and undefeated in five games, including an historic 16-13 victory over the University of Miami. But plagued by injuries particularly to starting quarterback Sammy Knight the Rattlers loss to Tennessee State and Tuskegee. This week's loss was a 19-14 heartbreaker at the hands of Alabama at Milton Frank Stadium. Since only four teams will be invited to post-season play, FAMU would appear to be out of contention.

To a great extend, the Rattlers beat themselves. A fumble, an interception and a blocked punt in the end zone led to three of the Bulldog's four scores. The defeat spoiled a fine performance by sophomore tailback Archie Jones, of Fort Lauderdale, who rushed for almost 188 yards on 16 carries and a gutsy performance by the moment. "It was the best feeling I've had in my whole life," the quarterback said. "From our scouting reports, we knew they had weak cornerbacks and our receivers have really good speed," Kelly explained.

"So we knew we could go deep, although we established the quick outs First." Schnellenberger shouted amid the din of the Miami dressing room, "this day will go down in the history of Miami football as the day we turned our football program around. We beat a great Penn State team with a great effort by everyone on our team. Our defensive unit played tough when it had to." Penn State coach Joe Paterno expressed disappointment over the loss that snapped a four-game Lions' winning streak. "But I wouldn't want to get away from giving Miami credit for having done a great job," Paterno noted. "Kelly deserves a lot of credit," Paterno said of the East Brady, quarterback whom Penn State sought to recruit and convert into a linebacker.

Paterno said Miami came up with the big plays for touchdowns, while Knight, who came in just before the half to replace and ineffective Eric Truvillion even though Knight was still suffering from a sore ankle, he injured three weeks ago. FAMU scored first in the first quarter when Bobby Hawkins ran in from nine yards. Vincent Coleman's extra point made it 7-0. Alabama countered in the second quarter with a one-yard run by Ed McCoy. Then Alabama blocked a Coleman punt deep in Rattler territory and Earnest French fell on it in the end zone for a Bulldog touchdown.

The kick failed, making it in 13-7 for the Bulldogs. Knight, substituted for Eric Truvillion and ran in from the one with 24 seconds left to go in the half to make it 14-13 FAMU at the half. After Keith Smith kicked at 35-yard field goal, putting the Bulldogs up 16-14, FAMU drove all the way from their 10 to the Bulldog 14 late in the fourth quarter. The big play on the drive was a 33-yard burst by Jones. But the drive stalled and Coleman came in for a 35-yard field goal attempt that was wide left.

The Bulldogs promptly drove deep into Rattler territory, where Smith kicked Pitt skips to 28-21 KM50 4-PLY POLYESTER CORD BLACKWALL TIRES SIZES REG.

-Quarterback Oliver Luck passed for two touchdowns and ran for a third and fullback Eldridge Dixon also scored a touchdown in helping West Virginia (5-4) to a triumph over Virginia Tech (4-5).

Place kicker Steve Sinclair kicked the extra point to make it 27- 23. The scoring strike capped a six-play, 63-yard drive. West Virginia added an insurance touchdown three series later when Dixon galloped 21 yards for a score.

In the third quarter, Luck engineered scoring drives of 34 yards on two plays and 46 yards on four plays. Luck hit Cedric Thomas on a 25-yard scoring pass to pull West Virginia to within 10 points at 23-13. The touchdown was set up on an interception by Dennis Fowlkes.

Marino, making his first collegiate start because of an injury to Rick Trocano, threw both of his touchdown passes in the last five minutes before halftime. Coupled with an 85-yard punt return touchdown by cornerback Terry White in the first quarter, they gave Pitt (7-1) a 21-6 intermission lead. Syracuse (5-4) came back behind the running of the 5-foot-ll Hurley, who carried 24 times and netted 80 yards rushing. Hurley, who darted one yard for a Syracuse touchdown in the first quarter, added a two-yard touchdown run in the third period to cap a 59-yard drive on which he ran the ball seven times for 44 yards.

Marino's 36-yard screen pass to fullback Wayne DiBartola set up an ensuing three-yard touchdown run by Ray "Rooster" Jones that gave Pitt a 28-13 lead through three periods. Early in the fourth period, Hurley ran 10 yards for another touchdown and added a two-point conversion pass to Art Monk to cut the Pitt lead to 28-21 with 11:56 to play. On the next Pitt Beries, Jones lost a fumble that was recovered by the Orangemen at the Pitt 43-yard line. But the Panthers held on downs at their own 35.
