4- THE TAMPA TRIBUNE-TIMES, Sunday, October 19. 1980 I STAT nil The South "'Canes Blow Opp ortunity plays, resulting in a 1-yard run by King. Bob Morgan kicked the PAT, tying the score at 7. Two series later, Kelly, under a fierce rush, had a wobbly pass intercepted by Bulldog middle linebacker Johnnie Cooks for a 20-yard touchdown and suddenly Miami was down 14-7 with 1:33 left in the first period. Again, two series later, Miami's Fred Marion fumbled a punt he had no business trying to catch and Mississippi State recovered the ball at the Miami 27.

On third-and-8, Bulldog quarterback John Bond hit Mardye McDole for a first down at the Miami 6, setting up a 2-yard touchdown run by Haddix, inflating the Bulldog lead to 21-7.

Auburn's Ken Luke picked off a deflected pass to set up Al Del Greco's 21-yard field goal in the closing minutes as the Tigers (4-2) escaped with a 17-14 victory over injury plagued Georgia Tech (1-5).

Auburn seemed stuck with a tie against Tech, which had won only once in five games and was playing without its top passer and runner. But Luke's interception put Del Greco in range for the winning field goal with only 3:45 left in the game. Before that, Tech quarterback Ted Peeples, filling in for the injured Mike Kelley, had kept the Yellow Jackets in sight of a possible upset.

Tennessee was supposed to be one of the major road blocks on top-ranked Alabama's path to another national championship but Saturday, when the Crimson Tide (6-0) rolled to a 27-0 victory, the Vols (3-3) were only pebbles.

By extending the nation's longest winning streak to 27 games, the Alabama defense limited the Vols to only 59 net yards, holding them to minus 2 during the first half of the televised game while the Tide was building a 17 Olead. Alabama Coach Bear Bryant, getting his 302nd career victory easier than had been expected, was relieved. Lighting up a cigar, Bryant said, "Our players did things out there today that we had been hoping they would do all season. It made a difference." The victory was No. 302 for Bryant, who is now only 12 shy of catching all-time college leader Amos Alonzo Stagg.

Tennessee Coach Johnny Majors said Alabama handed the Vols a "very sound whipping. rwe got beat from here to Texas or wherever you want to say. Physically, they whipped us up front. We lost our poise because they threw us out of rhythm." Despite dominating play throughout the entire rain-plagued game, Alabama scored only two touchdowns the first on an 8-yard run by third-string quarterback Ken Coley, with 2:45 left in the first half, and the other on a 1-yard leap by Major Oglivie with 28 seconds left in the game. But they were also close enough for Peter Kim to try five field goals and make four of them.

But Saturday's victory really belonged to that Alabama defense, which allowed Tennessee to gain only 22 yards on 33 rushing attempts and only 37 yards passing. The Vols completed only three passes and had four intercepted.

Herschel Walker shattered a 35-year-old Georgia rushing and scored three touchdowns Saturday as the sixth-ranked Bulldogs (6-0) crushed Vanderbilt (0-5) 41-0 in a Southeastern Conference contest but the freshman sensation refused to accept all the credit didn't make all that yardage by myself," Walker said after rambling for 283 yards, including touchdowns runs 48 and 53 yards. The whole offensive line and myself got the record.

"They were really opening up some big holes out there," said Walker. "I really didn't think about the record. I just thought I'd had a good day." Coach George Mclntyre of winless Vanderbilt, however, knew differently. Walker was the difference. He's as good as any back I've ever seen.

It takes about six guys to bring him down out there," he said. coach Vince Dooley also admitted that his 18-year-old youngster had a good performance. "He had some good blocking along the way, but he took advantage of it wejl. His ankle is obviously better," said Dooley.

"We gave it away early, tried to get it back, and weren't man enough to do it." The Hurricanes, 4-2, trailed 24-10 at the half, but quickly tied the game at 24-all in the third period.

Kelly finally unwound and hit Pat Walker for 53 yards and a touchdown on Miami's second possession. On the ensuing series, Miami's Tim Flanagan pounced on a fumble by Bulldog runner Michael Haddix at the MSU 28 and the 'Canes started breathing fire. Roan scrambled for 11 yards and two plays later for five, setting up his 2-yard touchdown run that tied the game with 4:32 left in the third period. But the Bulldogs refused to wilt, scoring on a 1-yard run by Fred Collins, giving Mississippi State a 31-24 lead with 1:24 left in the third quarter. The Hurricanes said phooey on that and Mark Rush bolted 92 yards on the following kickoff and tied the game at 31 going into the final period.

MSU, 5-2, retaliated and drove 60 yards in nine plays and got a 37-yard field goal from Moore with 12:21 left in the game. "We would have been satisfied to have gotten a tie and not lost it," said Miami wideout Jim Joiner. "I thought we'd get the ball back, but it didn't turn out that way." Miami started the game looking as though it would improve its bowl prospects, as Kelly marched the 'Canes 77 yards in 10 plays for the first score, an 18-yard run by Roan. Mississippi State, however, stormed right back and jammed the ball down the Hurricane defense just as Notre Dame did a week ago. The Bulldogs drove 78 yards, mainly on running Maryland 11, Wake Forest 10 COLLEGE PARK, Md.

Defensive end Mark Wilson tackled Wake Forest (3-3) quarterback Jay Venuto after a 59-yard punt was allowed to roll dead at the 2 in a driving rain storm, giving Maryland (4-3) an 1 1-10 victory. The winning points were scored one play after the scoreboard clock went out during the storm and about 10 minutes remained in the game. Wake Forest had taken a 10-9 lead on a 39-yard field goal by Phil Denfeld with 1:17 left in the third quarter. Maryland took a 9-0 lead in the second quarter on a 36-yard field goal by Dale Castro and a one-yard run by Wayne Wingfield. Castro missed the extra point, but it was his booming punt which set up the winning safety.

Manatee went to Sarasota-River-view and suffered its first loss of the season 13-0 in a 4-A District 6 contest, dropping the Hurricanes to in district and 2-3 overall. Riverview is now 2- 1 in district and 3-3 for the season.

Palmetto jumped to a 7-0 halftime lead on a Willie Johnson to Duane Johnson 13-yard scoring pass. Duane kicked the extra point. However, the Miners won on 25 and 26-yard TD passes by Cepeda Fulse in the third quarter. Palmetto is now 3-1 in district and 4-2 overall while Fort Meade improved to 1-1 and 2-4. Venice is now the only undefeated 3- A District 11 team with a 3-0 district Clark who fumbled at the SMU 10.

It was just like the good ol' days for Miami; or maybe that should be the bad ol' days. The Hurricanes, trailing by three, failed to score from inside the 5-yard-line with five minutes remaining and bungled a 22-yard field goal with 4:21 left, the result being a 34-31 loss to Mississippi State and a wave good-bye to their 18th and 19th spots in the Associated Press and United Press International polls. Down 34-31 on a 37-yard field goal by Mississippi State's Dana Moore, the 'Canes drove from their 37 to the Bulldog 7 in what would be their final scoring opportunity.

A penalty against Mississippi State put the ball at the Bulldog 3, giving Miami four plays to move into the end zone. Chris Hobbs ran to the 1 on first down, but on second down Smokey Roan was thrown for a loss back to the 3. On third-and-goal from there, quarterback Jim Kelly tried an option run and was buried at the 4. No pass was attempted. Then, the insufferable happened.

The Hurricanes forsook the touchdown and instead optioned for a 22-yard field goal, which kicker Jeff Davis of Clearwater missed to the right by inches. That was the game. "We had the opportunity the last time and weren't able to do it," said UM Coach Howard Schnellenberger. STATE Duke 34, Clemson 17 CLEMSON, S.C. Duke quarterback Ben Bennett caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from halfback Mike Grayson and Dennis Tabron returned an interception 87 yards to score as the Blue Devils (1-5) upset Clemson (4-2) 34-17 for their first college football win of the season.

Bennett, a freshman, coolly ripped the Tigers' secondary to shreds with passes, connecting on 23 of 32 passes for 257 yards. He threw a 5-yard scoring strike to Glenn Tillerey as Duke surged ahead for keeps in a 14-point third period. The Grayson-Bennett pass on third down caught Clemson's defense by: complete surprise.
