ST. PETERSBURG TIMES SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1982 9C' KIq fthaoiks to Q.Bs, Pott Dnsnrodlles DlDiimois 20-3 Compiled from AP, UH w)rl CHAMPAIGN, 111. The expected aerial duel between Pittsburgh's Dan Marino and Illinois' Tony Eason failed to develop Saturday and each side credited its defense. Instead, a massive defensive tackle turned in the offensive gem that turned the tide in a 20-3 victory for No. 3-ranked Pitt over an Illinois team that entered the game ranked No.

19. Both Marino and Eason had poor days. Marino was 18-of-35 for 215 yards but was intercepted four times. Eason hit on 30-of-58 for 275 yards and saw five of his passes picked off. For the first time in 12 games, Eason did not throw for a touchdown and Marino had only one TD pass.

"Illinois prepared for us," said Pittsburgh coach Foge Fazio. "They used changing coverages outstanding secondary." Illinois coach Mike White agreed. "We mixed up our defense," White said. "This is the finest defensive effort we've had. The defense played a tremendous game." But White said the Pittsburgh line also deserved a lot of credit for the victory.

"Their dominance of the defensive line was too much for us I felt sorry for Tony (Eason). He was in a revolving door." Eason was sacked nine times. It was a defensive play that turned the game around. The Panthers were threatening to take the lead early in the second quarter after a Mike Bass field goal put Illinois ahead 3-0. But Illini cornerback Charles Armstead ended the drive with an interception at the goal line on a 3rd-and-8 play.

The Illini moved quickly down the field and appeared ready to increase their lead. But, on a third-down play at the Pittsburgh 2, Eason scrambled to his right and threw off balance. "I thought he was going to fall down right away because he's been so banged up," Fazio said. The pass was picked off by Puzzuoli at the Pittsburgh 5 and the 6-foot-3, 248-pound linemen lumbered down the left sideline behind a screen of blockers for the 95-yard touchdown with 9:21 left in the second quarter. Pittsburgh went ahead 10-3 on a 37-yard field goal by Eric Schubert with just over four minutes left in the half and held that lead at intermission.

The Panthers steadily built their lead in the second half as the Illini were frustrated by interceptions. With 3:49 left in the third period, Marino threw a 15-yard scoring pass to linebacker Tony Brown to put the Panthers on top 17-3. A 30-yard field goal by Schubert finished the Pittsburgh scoring in the final quarter. It was the first time in 11 games that Illinois was held under 20 points and the first time since the 1980 season that the Illini lost at home. A near-record crowd of 71,547 saw the game.

No. 10 Notre Dame pummels Purdue Indiana gets by Syracuse 17-10 Compilad from AP. UPI wlras ANN ARBOR, Mich.

Trailing 21-0 in the second quarter, Ramsey hooked up with Williams for a 46-yard touchdown pass play with 4:34 remaining, then plunged 1-yard himself a couple of minutes later. Ramsey tossed a 6-yard TD strike to tailback Jojo Townsell early in the third quarter following an interception one of three by the Bruins' defense and Lee added a 26-yard insurance field goal in the fourth quarter. Michigan had a chance to pull it out in the final seconds but with third and goal at the UCLA 8 yard line, Steve Smith's pass sailed over Anthony Carter's outstretched fingertips in the end zone as time ran out Ironically, Michigan picked off Ramsey's first pass attempt his only interception of the day and marched 59 yards in nine plays to score with Lawrence Ricks getting the TD on a 9-yard run.

In the second quarter, Smith ran 6 yards for a touchdown and tossed a 5-yard scoring strike to Carter to give Michigan a short-lived 21-0 lead.

Notre Dame coach Gerry Faust announced after the game that Bell had suffered a broken ankle and will be out from four to six weeks. "Phil Carter did an excellent job," said Faust.
