Brown's absence the punch out of the Pack offense and the game was already in the Terps' control when coach Bo Rein finally went to his Ail-American back on the first Wolfpack possession of the second quarter. "I don't know how having Ted in there from the start would have affected our offense in the first period," said State's Rein. "We'll never know now.

He hasn't practiced all week and I had decided not to start him. If we had moved for that first first down we may never have needed him. "We got beat by a good football team, but we'll never know how good because we never challenged them the way we should have," added Rein. Brown finished the game with 78 yards on 19 carries but most of his action came in the second quarter when he carried the ball 10 times. His 78 yards brought his career rushing total to 3,946 yards, just 26 yards shy of Mike Voight's ACC mark.

But the afternoon belonged to another back maryland's Steve Atkins. Atkins stole the show from Brown by rushing for 132 yards in 26 carries and by racing 98 yards with a second-half kickoff which started the beginning of the end for the Wolfpack. Atkins' 98-yard run followed State's only score of the game early in the third period. State had obtained possession of the ball following the second-half kickoff, when Eric Sievers fumbled a pass from Tim O'Hare at the 33 and Donnie LeGrande recovered. After the fumble recovery State drove 33 yards in nine plays for the score, making it 10-7 with 11:27 left in the third period.

Scott Smith capped the drive with a two-yard run off an option keeper play. On the ensuing kickoff, Atkins took the kick at the Maryland two, saw a gaping hole open up to his left and took off. He broke through at the Maryland 30, got a block from team mate Larry Stewart at the State 35 and went all the way, making it 17-7 with 11:11 left in the quarter. Misfortune struck the Wolfpack again on the next play. This time it all but ended the Pack's afternoon.

State's Dwight Sullivan fielded Loncar's kick off at the 16 and was met at the 19 by Todd Denson. As he tried to roll away from Denson the ball squirted away and bounded into the end zone, where Steve Trimble recovered for a Maryland touchdown and a 24-7 lead with 11:02 left. "It was all over in about 20 seconds," said State coach Rein later. "We got behind in the first half and had to play catch-up. Then we got a fumble to open the second half and we came down and scored.

"Suddenly we had the momentum and then, like that, it was over in about 20 seconds," said a dejected Rein. "We'll never Hnow what would have happened. After those." Tgwie had to play-catch-up and our team isn't very good at playing that kind of game." After the turn around, State never threatened offensively. They had three passes, intercepted later in the period; by Trimble, John Baldanti and Brian Matera and punted four times in the fourth quarter. Maryland added the final score of the game early in the fourth quarter when O'Hare hit Gary Ellis on a nine-yard touch-' down pass, capping an 11 play, 48-yard drive after Matera's interception.

"Our defense has been playing really fine football and that was the case today," said Terrapin coach Jerry Claiborne in the winners' locker room. "With the exception of the one State drive (early in the second-half) we played extremely well. But we still have to get the ball in the end tone more." In the first quarter, Maryland took advantage of a strong wind and got good field position following each of State's first three possessions. On those three punts, State's John Isley punted for only 28, 25 and 14 yards. After the first punt the Terps drove from their own 47 for the score and after Isley's second punt, the Terps took over at the State 43 and drove to the 21, where Loncar kicked his field goal.

"In the first quarter we got excellent field position," said Claiborne. "We were able to control the tempo of the game with the wind in our face and our kicking game won it for us in the second half." Rein shared laiborne's sentiments. "If we had made the first" down on that first drive it might have been different," said Rein. "But John (Isley got off a bad punt and gave them good field position. They had the field position from then on in the first half and we never could catch up." Both clubs had trouble moving the ball on offense.

State punted the ball 10 times, -averaging only 31.3 yards per punt, and Maryland punted nine times, averaging only 33.9 yards per punt. Behind Atkins Maryland rushed for 197 yards on 49 carries and O'Hare passed for 78 yards, completing seven of 17 passes. State gained just 177 yards rushing on 55 carries and Smith completed five of 15 passes for 55 yards before giving away to Todd Baker in the fourth period. Baker added 21 yards, giving State a total of 76 yards passing and 220 yards total offense for the game. The Terps now stand 24 in, ACC, while North Carolina State dropped to 1-1 in league play.

The University of Maryland Terrapins exploded for two touchdowns within 26 seconds of each other early in the third quarter and eased to a 31-7 rout of previously-unbeaten North Carolina State. Playing before a Homecoming crowd of 45,319 fans in Byrd Stadium the twelfth-ranked Terrapins shut down both the Wolfpack running and passing attacks.

It was their fifth straight win of the season in their quest for the ACC title and a major bowl invitation. Maryland jumped to a 10-0 lead in the first period on an eight-yard run by Alvin Maddox and a 38-yard field goal by Ed Loncar. At the same time, the Wolfpack failed to pick up a first down and gained only "'four first-quarter possessions. The major reason for State's failure to move the ball was the absence of Ted Brown.

8, 1978-33 Miami Upends 'Heels receiver (Mattison) had to be open." Mattison was ecstatic in the locker room after the game, saying the pass was "definitely the biggest thrill of my football career. I saw someone going after Don (Treadwell) so I just took off down field and he laid it right in there. "This was a highly emotional win for us," the sophomore wide receiver added. "Nobody believed we could come down here and win, especially you guys' (media). Heck, we were 24-point underdogs back home." The Redskins seemed to be at an emotional high for the game, as they constantly stopped the Tar Heels in crucial situations.

They even wore undershirts saying "CRUM CAROLINA." Carolina got its field goal on the first play of the fourth quarter when freshman Jeff Hayes booted one from 47 yards out.

He also went with Doug Paschal and Terence Burrell at running back after halftime, saying he was going with the runners that working for their yards.

All-ACC back Amos Lawrence failed to see action after the first half, Crum saying "he just wasn't running in the first half." He would not comment further on Lawrence's play for the season thus far. For Miami, now 2-2-1 on the season, Greg Jones and Mark Hunter led the rushing with 69 and 64 yards, respectively. Senior signal-caller Fortner hit on ten of 19 for 82 yards, but was intercepted three times by the Tar Heels. Paschal led Carolina with 63 yards rushing while Burrell added 50. The Tar Heels fell to 1-3 on the season, with a league clash against Wake Forest on the horizon for next week.

course, the VMI defense had a lot to do with that." "I hope we can keep playing this well on defense and improve our offense," continued Dye. "Fumbles hurt us again, but we haven't turned the ball over but four times in the last two games, so we're improving there. The pirates rushed for 181 yards with Sutton accounting for 115 while quarterback Steve Greer had 54 yards on 13 carries. But once again, it was East Carolina's defense which stole the show. The Pirates limited VMI to just one total yard rushing in the game and sacked VMI quarter backs Robby Gark and Jeff Huberts 13 times for 62 yards.

The Keydets could manage only 78 total yards and eight first dowris. "I felt like we had to come on and put the pressure on the pass," explained Dye. "With the pressure, we put on we put VMI in a passing situation. "We were coming on with a lot of defensive linemen trying to pressure the pass. Of course, that quarterback got away from us a lot out there too." Flag Games Played Touchdown runs by Donald Armstrong and Thomas Newton in the second period paced the Steelers past the Redskins, 13-6 in an Eastern League City Recreation football game at Meadowbrook, Park Thursday.

Armstrong carried for 10 yards and added the conversion while Newton ran a 20-yard touchdown in the Steeler win. The only Redskin score also came in the second period when Demetrius Jenkins connected with Hyman Whitaker for a touchdown pass. Rocky Mount, NX Telegram drove from their own 43 to the Duke 34 after a pass interception had set them up. But the tide turned again as linebacker Carl McGee picked off another option halfback pass by Hottowe at the Duke 26. Hottowe tried the play again later in the period and was sacked for a 10-yard loss by Duke's Andy Schoenhoft Rhett's three-touchdown performance was marred early in the final period as he went limping out with a foot injury' and saw no action for the remainder of the game.

"It is a foot injury of some sort and right now we don't know what his status will be next week," said Duke coach Mike McGee after the game. Rhett made the day for the Blue Devils with a 114-yard performance on 13 carries. McGee came away pleased with the victory, but still hopeful for improvemenU in Duke's play. "I'm pleased with this victory," McGee said. "It was one we needed badly and Virginia has a good football team, their personnel has improved a great deal from last year.

"But we are going to have to our play to beat Navy," the coach added. "We were a little ragged at times today and we have to improve on several things." The Blue Devils pushed their mark to 3-1 on the season and 1-0 in ACC play. The Cavaliers are now 1-4 on the season and 0-2 in league play. The Tar Heels had three more chances to win the game in the final five minutes. Fullback Terence Burrell fumbled away Carolina's first chance while freshman quarterback Chuck Sharpe was unable to complete fourth, down passes in the last two series.

For Sharpe, who was starting in his first college game, the day was most frustrating. He hit on but ten of 31 passes with one interception and was sacked three times by the determined Redskin defenders. Although Sharpe's statistics were unimpressive, he drew praise from Crum. "I thought Sharpe did a pretty good job out there today," said the first-year Tar Heel coach. "Clyde (Christianson) could have played, but I had no reason to pull Sharpe out.

He'll start again next week." Crum also praised his defense, but said the offense was "flat." Crum also scrapped his veer attack during most of the Lou Darden punt and dodged several VMI defenders before streaking down the right side 74 yards for the score. Hall again found an opening on the right side, early in the second quarter and scooted 30 yards to the VMI 38. Seven plays later, Bill Lamm connected on his first field goal from 19 yards out and the Pirates went into the dressing room with a slim 9-0 halftime lead. "We worked all week on returns and it really paid off today," said Hall. "We worked hard on returns to the right side and the blocking today was excellent.

"The holes seemed much better, which is a real credit to the blocking I got on those returns." VMI closed within three points at 9-6 in the third period after two Craig Jones field goals. Jones' first field goal was from 43 yards, while his second one came from 49 yards. Both field goals came after East Carolina fumbled. Bill Lamm then moved the Pirates ahead 12-6 with a 24 yard field goal late in the third quarter. East Carolina's final score came on its last possession of the game when the Pirates moved 54 yards in nine plays.

Fullback Theodore Sutton, who rushed 25 times for 115 yards, got the big play in the drive on a 38 yard run which gave ECU the ball on the Keydet 14. Halfback Sam Harrell went around the left side for three yards and the touchdown. Bill Lamm's conversion was good and less than a minute remained on the clock. "I was scared to death and I always am when we come here to play," admitted Dye. "I was disappointed that we got the ball into scoring position so many times and didnt score.

What actually transpired was Miami quarterback Larry Fortner, facing a second-and-ten at his 35-yard line, moving to his left and handing off to flanker Don Treadwell on the reverse. Treadwell has the option to run if the safety stays with the receiver or pass if the safety comes up to make the tackle. When Treadwell saw Carolina safety Bernie Menapace coming towards' him he flung a perfect spiral to wide receiver Mark Mattison at the Tar Heel 30-yard line.

Mattison, behind all defenders, simply galloped into the end zone for the game's lone score. "Our touchdown came on a play we call 35 split end reverse pass," said the jubilant Reed following the game, "and we have been working on it in practice for several weeks. "I knew we were going to have to use it once in this game if we were going to have a chance to win," he continued. "And being that late in the game (midway in the third period) with a second and long, we decided it would be then." The Redskins called timeout just before the play to map it out on the sidelines to make sure it had a chance to succeed. The tough thing for UNC coach Dick Crum was that the play has been in his playbook during his years at Miami (Crum coached the Redskins for four years before accepting the Tar Heel job this season) and he had never used it "They did a good job of execution on the touchdown play," Crum offered.

"We knew about the play because it was in our playbook for the last few years, but this is the first time they've used it this year. "The trouble was they executed it perfectly," be added. "He (Treadwell) had time to throw it" Treadwell, 5-9, 155-pound freshman from Oberlin, Ohio, was a quarterback in high school, but by his own admission, "we didnt pass a whole lot" "Since I wis a quarterback in high school, they have been working on it with me in practice," said Treadwell.

Hall returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown, set up a field goal with another long return and intercepted two passes as the Pirates struggled past a determined VMI team 19-6 here in Alumni Memorial Stadium Saturday afternoon. The 5-11, 180-pound senior from Eden ton finished with four returns for 121 yards which tied a school record for return yardage in one game. And with the Pirates leading only 12-6 late in the fourth quarter, Hall ended VMTs last serious scoring threat when he intercepted his second pass of the afternoon. "Gerald's returns certainly gave us a big lift today," said East Carolina Coach Pat Dye. "We felt we could run a punt back on them for a touchdown.

We worked hard on our kicking game all The victory was East Carolina's third straight after back-to-back losses to State and North Carolina earlier in the season. The pirates are now 4-2 overall, while the Keydets dropped to 2-3. After East Carolina failed to move the ball on its first three possessions, Hall fielded a short to tie the score at 13-13 when Rhett and the Blue Devils pulled but the big and decisive offensive play. On a second and five play i from Duke's 43 yard line, Rhett took a Mike Dunn handoff to the right side, darted around a closed hole and scampered down the sideline untouched to give his team the lead to stay. That play seemingly derailed the Cavaliers who failed to muster up much offense after that.

Virginia, who used a steady, basic ground game from its veer for most of the day, got its first score midway through the first period on the first of three halfback passes they would try in the game. Running back Dan Hottowe delivered the 42-yard scoring pass to flanker Andre Grier on a second and six play from the Duke 42 to cap off a brief two-minute drive' and give the Cavaliers the only lead they would have In the game. The Devils got over the shocker early in the second period and put together their first consistent offensive drive of the game starting from their own 14 yard line Using only two Mike Dunn passes, the Devils ground out yardage in 13 plays and scored on a first and goal from the Virginia three when Rhett went off the right side and scooted into the end lone to tie the score at 64. Scott McKlnney's all-important extra point kick was wide, just as Ross Henderson's had been for Virginia and the score remained tied with 9:45 left in the second period. The Devils' second scoring drive came in a more spectacular manner as it started with just under four minutes remaining in the half and finished with Duke ahead, 13-6 with only 25 seconds left Dunn completed six of ten passes in that drive including a 14-yarder up the middle to Joel Patten which brought the ball down to the Virginia eight.

From there, Dunn pitched to Rhett for a run to the right and Rhett evaded tacklers to the goal line where he was met solidly by Cav tackle Chris Lilley and barely made it to pay dirt With McKinney's conversion good, the Blue Devils were 13-6 leaders going into the half. The late score seemed to do little toward damaging the Cavalier 'spirits or the game plan. Virginia came right back on the opening series of the second half with the hard running of backs Greg Taylor and Tom Vigorito and scored on an 18-play, '75-yard drive. Taylor plunged through the middle for a score on a two-yard run to cap off that drive and Henderson's conversion kick was true to tie the game at 13. That was before Rbett's long run put Duke in the lead to stay.

While the Virginia Cavalier's played almost even statistically with the bomestanding Duke Blue DevUe, the final 20-13 scoring statistic came in Duke's favor and reflected a Duke effort which was effective when it most counted. The Cavaliers played consistent offense for most of the afternoon while their defense managed to shut off. the Devils' outside game and made Duke come close to a loss, in their opening ACC test But a single solid breakaway run by Greg Rhett in the third period, proved to be the Cava' eventual doom. Virginia had just completed a 75-yard scoring drive on the first offensive series of the third period.
