"North Carolina played a tough ard nosed football game, and once they: get over their initial disappointment, they are going to be a very proud football team. They have a right to be." "I can't tell you how disappointed this football team is," a saddened Bill Dooley said. "To have a team like Notre Dame down and then lose Is really tough to take." Notre Dame put their first points on the board with 11:27 left to play on a two yard touch-down plunge by Al Hunter.

Irish Coach Dan Devine decided to go with sophomore quarterback Montana, in hopes of getting his r. offense moving.

The big play of the drive was a pass from Montana to Dan Kelleher that was good for 39 yards.

One; play later, Hunter barrelled over from the and just that quick, the Fighting Irish were back in the game. This time the Irish converted the two points on Montana to Doug Booth pass, tying the score, and setting up the final minute heroics.

Montana needed only six seconds of that time to get the Irish on the board and insure the win. On the second play from scrimmage; Montana hit Bergmeier in the flat on a square out, but Bergmeier.

(AP) A 56-yard touchdown run by Rick Jennings on a first quarter punt staked Maryland to a 17-14 halftime lead, and then an aroused defense enabled the Terps to roll over North Carolina State 37-22 in an Atlantic Coast Conference football game Saturday. Maryland is now 4-1-1, including 2-0 in the ACC, where it is defending champion. State's record is 3-3, with an 0-2 mark in the league. After a seven-yard TD pass from wingback John Schultx to Kim Hoover gave the Terps a 24-14 lead midway through the third period, the Maryland defense became a dominant tacr tor the rest of the way. The Terps got to State quarterback Dave Buckey on three consecutive plays, forcing the Wolfpack to punt after reaching the Maryland 17 on their only possession of the third quarter.

Then, during a Ito-minute span early in the last quarter. Maryland recovered two fumbles deep in State territory, setting up two more touchdowns to make it 37-14 with 11:43 to play. Fullback Tim Wilson scored from the two after Maryland recovered a fumble on the State 19. Another fumble, on State's next play, was recovered on the 22 and four plays later, Larry Dick tossed a lOyard scoring pass toSchultz. A nine-yard TD run by fullback Scott Wade, who scored twice for State, gave the Wolf-pack a 7-3 lead in the first quarter.

But Jennings, who earlier this season, had a 93-yard kickoff return, took the ensuing kickoff on the four and went all the way to put the Terps in front for good. "You cant ask a team to move the ball better on Maryland than we did," said State coach Lou Holtz. "Buti you can't expect a team to take the ball inside its 30-yard all day and drive it 70 or 75 yards.M The Wolfpack scored on drives of 60 and 76 yards in the first half, which ended with the Terps ahead 47-14, and then' inarched 73 yards for a fourth quarter touchdown after the de cision was out of reach. But the Terps, who bad allowed only a 203-yard aver age. in five previous games, permitted State only one possession in the third quarter and recovered two fumbles to set up 13 points in the final period.
