After all, it was the Clemson junior's last shot at South Carolina in Williams-Brice Stadium.

"It was real important to me to play because when we came down here two years ago, I had broken ribs and didn't play. And we got beat bad," Allen said. "I wanted to be part of this one, be a part of whatever happened." Allen didn't play long, but it was too long for the Gamecocks and long enough for the 15th-ranked Tigers. Allen scored on two first-quarter runs and rushed for 97 yards before re-injuring his knee late in the first half as Clemson beat South Carolina 45-0 Saturday night. The loss was the worst by the Gamecocks in the heated rivalry since 1900, when the Tigers won 51-0.

It was also the first time Clemson shut out the Gamecocks In the 87-game series since 1959, when the Tigers won 27-0. Nobody expected it to be this lopsided, although few gave the Gamecocks a shot at defeating the Tigers, who were 7-2-1 against South Carolina in the 1980s but had lost 20-7 the last time the game was in Columbia, in 1987. "We thought it was going to be a little bit tougher challenge," wide receiver Gary Cooper said. "But all we had to do was play our best, and we did." Clemson came dressed for the part. The Tigers wore their orange pants, which they save for special games, for the first time in an opponent's stadium.

The Tigers are now 16-2 in their lucky pants. Coach Danny Ford didn't tell his team until about 30 minutes before the game that they'd be wearing the orange pants. "They wanted to do it, and I told them I'd think about it," Ford said. "They had to change late before we went out. If you wear orange pants, you're supposed to win.

They had the confidence they were going to win so we wore them."

Nick Lowery misses three field goals in the final seconds Sunday. Surprise! A great day for the Bays: The Packers win in their first visit to Candlestick Park in 15 years and the Buccaneers win at Soldier Field for the first time since 1979. "We blew it," Cleveland defensive lineman Michael Dean Perry said after the first tie of the NFL season, 10-10 with Kansas City. Actually, Lowery blew it for the Chiefs. He began the season as the second-most accurate kicker in history, but missed twice with four seconds left in regulation and missed again with three seconds left in overtime.

"This is a tough stadium to kick in," Lowery said of muddy Cleveland Stadium. "The last kick in overtime was like trying to kick out of a sand trap." The Browns, with-their first tie since 1973, stayed on top of the AFC Central at 7-3-1. Kansas City, led by former Cleveland coach Marty Schottenheimer, is 4-6-1. Donald Igwebuike, meanwhile, came through when it counted. His fourth field goal of the game, a 28-yarder as time expired, lifted Tampa Bay over Chicago 32-31.

"It's not my favorite place to kick, it's the last place I like to kick, but I'll take that last field goal," Igwebuike said. The Packers, a surprise team all season, shocked San Francisco 21-17. Green Bay took advantage of four turnovers and nine penalties against San Francisco, which began the day with the NFL's best record. The Packers can tie for first place in the NFC Central with a victory next week at home against Minnesota. In other games, the New York Giants topped Seattle 15-3, Philadelphia beat Minnesota 10-9, Cincinnati routed Detroit 42-7, New England stopped Buffalo 33-24, Miami downed Dallas 17-14, New Orleans defeated Atlanta 26-17, Pittsburgh beat San Diego 20-17, the Los Angeles Rams roughed up Phoenix 37-14 and Houston defeated the Los Angeles Raiders 23-7.

The New York Jets played in Indianapolis at night. Denver is at Washington on Monday night. Lowery, trailing only New Orleans' Morten Andersen as the most successful NFL kicker, tied the game with a 41-yard field goal with 3:48 left in the fourth quarter. He was wide right on a 45-yarder with four seconds left in regulation, but an offsides call on Cleveland gave him a second chance from 39 yards. That one was wide left.

Both of those misses came toward the open end of the stadium. "None of us was making any from 45 yards at that end of the stadium (in practice)," Lowery said. "So I thought I had to kick it as if it were a 50-yarder, and I pushed it to the right. It doesn't happen very often that you get a second chance. I took that one to the left." Lowery's 47-yard try with three seconds left in overtime was short at the closed end of the horseshoe-shaped stadium.

Fur-man begins its quest for a second straight Division I-AA championship by playing William Mary in a first-round playoff game, and Coach Jimmy Satterfield said Sunday the Paladins are ready for the challenge.

William Mary (8-2-1) visits Furman (10-1) Saturday in the first meeting between the two teams since 1976. The Paladins won that time, 23-7, but the teams split 10 games between 1959 and 1976. "We've had two of our best games the last two weeks," Satterfield said. "We had over 500 yards in offense and we seem to be peaking at the right time." The Paladins, ranked second in the final I-AA poll, gained 527 yards in a victory over East Tennessee State and 502 yards in a 44-9 rout of The Citadel in its final regular season game Nov. 18.

Furman won the Southern Conference title, sweeping all seven league games, and has a nine-game winning streak since losing 30-0 in the opener to Division I Clemson. Satterfield said the Paladins were able to handle the burden of defending national champion. "It's been a rewarding year. We felt like we had the people we By The Associated Press CAMDEN, S.C. It took Highland Bud only two races Sunday to claim the 20th annual Marion du Pont Scott Colonial Cup International Steeplechase.

His third one, however, may have put the 4-year-old English import into the history books. By winning the $60,000 event, Highland Bud probably salted away horse of the year honors for steeplechasers. "I think he has to," said trainer Jonathan Sheppard on his horse's chances for winning the honor. "This has sort of been a wide open year and there are no other contemporaries." On the Springdale Race Course before more than 12,000 fans on a crisp fall afternoon, Highland Bud gave a repeat performance of his run at the Oct. 28 Breeders' Cup, which he won by 10 lengths.

He added four more to his winning margin in only his third time over Jumps in this country since being brought over from Great Britain. Held behind in the early stages of the race, English jockey Richard Dunwoody brought Highland Bud to the lead after the ninth of 17 jumps and easily outdistanced Opacity and Dawson the rest of the way. Sheppard said this was not his pre-race plan of attack, but the pace of the race dictated Highland Bud's taking the lead sooner than expected. "Actually, we planned to keep the horse back longer than we did," he said, "but the early pace was so slow and the horse was jumping so well and he was running so aggressively, that he (Dunwoody) decided rather than to fight him, to let him go to the lead. "He didn't send him to the lead, the horse just basically galloped and jumped to the lead himself." Owned by Mrs.

Jesse M. Henley Highland Bud was the ninth Colonial Cup winner for Sheppard and the fifth time he has sent out the winner In the past six years.

The day's co-feature, the Crown Royal Chase, was taken by Summer Colony, the 1988 novice chaser of the Iron and was ridden by Ron Beggan.
