Jerps Rip Hapless Pack, 349 tent after losing the first two Maryland built its 17-3 halftime cushion by bottling up Mcintosh, allowing him only 31 yards on 10 carries. The Wolfpack's longest drive of the half came on their first possession when they marched to the Maryland 31, but came up empty when Avery was intercepted by safety Bill McFadden. The Terps got on the board first when Jesse Atkinson connected on a 42-yard field goal with 2:51 to go in the first quarter. After two Wolfpack punts, Maryland scored its first touchdown. Willie Joyner had a run of 15 yards and Esiason connected with Lewis for 28 yards and Joe Burkovich for 12.

On first down at the Wolfpack 19, Lewis took a reverse around left end and raced into the end zone, giving Maryland a 10-0 lead with 7:19 to go in Jhe balf-i--TT yards on 23 carries. Few of those yards came in Maryland territory. The defense forced State to its passing game during the second period. And that was a game the Wolfpack was not ready to play. Quarterback Tol Avery was lnef-' fective and State coach Monte Kiffln Inserted Ron Laraway In the game with less than three minute? to play in the third quarter.

But it wasn't all Avery's fault In the second half, the Wolfpack never started a drive outside its own 20, and Maryland took advantage of the good field position. "I thought we had a good game plan," Kiffln said. "But we couldn't get field position. Every time I looked up we were so far back I could barley see the team." Actually, State was lucky to be down by only 14 at the half. Louie Meadows blocked two Maryland field goal attempts following impressive Terrapin drives.

The victory snapped a two-game Maryland losing streak, and gave the Terps 1-0 conference record. State is now 3-1 overall and 1-1 in the ACC "We were Just real happy to win," Claiborne said. "We came back after two defeats'. We could have folded the After the touchdown pass to Lewis midway through the' third period, Avery came back to throw his second interception. Part of the 47,500 fans booed the sophomore quarterback as he left the field.

On the next Wolfpack possession Avery was intercepted once more, this by defensive end Howard Eubanks, the leader of the Terrapin defense. "Everybody has a bad game," said -Avery, who was sacked four times for minu 31 yards. Even Laraway couldn't get things going. He threw an interception after he had directed State to two first downs. Atkinson gave Maryland a 27-3 lead on the third play of the fourth oaurter when he booted a 48-yard field goal State did manage another touchdown, but it didn't come via the of-' fense.

i-Dennie LaGrande bloeked a punt and Eric Williams ran it back 47 yards with 10:48 to play. A two-point conversion failed. The Terps got then- final tally with 5:33 to play when substitute tailback John Nash went over from one yard out Nash had run the ball the last 11 plays of the drive, starting at the State 47. By CHRIS POWELL Telegram Sports Writer tr- RALEIGH Quarterback Boomer Esiason threw for two touchdowns and Maryland's defense forced seven N.C State turnovers leading to 17 points as the Terrapins downed the previously unbeaten Wolf pack, 34-8. -Maryland started all but two second-half possessions in State territory and used that field position to break open a 17-3 game at the half.

The Terps went without injured all-ACC performer Charlie WysocU, who never carried the ball. Instead, they relied on Esiason's steady passing arm. The sophomore fired scoring strikes to wingback Mike Lewis and tight end John Tice, the latter which seemingly broke the Wolfpack's back. That touchdown put Maryland up 24-3. Lewis, a Rocky Mount native, scored two touchdowns on the night But tt was Maryland's defense that deserved much of the credit Coach Jerry Claiborne's vaunted wide-tackle six subdued what bad been a potent running attack for State in its first three games.

The Terps throttled the Wolfpack ground game and rookie sensation. Joe Mcintosh who had 127 When State got the ball after the kickoff, Laramount Laws on fumbled on first down. The Terps recovered and, three plays later, scored again. This- time Esaison waited patiently behind good protection and hit Tice over the middle, making it 17-0 with the conversion.
