Michigan roars past Minnesota, 30-20 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Leroy Hoard and Jamie Morris scored within an 89-second span of the third quarter Saturday, rallying Michigan from a 17-7 deficit to a 30-20 Big Ten victory over Minnesota.

Morris, who carried 29 times for 149 yards, has a conference-leading 1,203 yards this season. Minnesota, 5-4 overall and 2-4 in the conference after its fourth straight loss, was driving for what could have been a clinching score in the third quarter. But Darrell Thompson who earlier had a Big Ten-record 98-yard touchdown run was stopped an inch short on fourth-and-1 from Michigan's 23 by linebacker J.J. Grant. Michigan, 6-3 and 4-2, then, marched 77 yards in 12 plays, culminating in Morris' nine-yard touchdown run to close within 17-15.

The Wolverines converted a fumble on the ensuing kickoff to the go-ahead score. but Matt Frantz missed a 22-yard field goal by with 6:57 left. "I never think I'm going to miss. When you've been at the varsity four years you don't get nervous anymore," said Gregoire, who has 62 career field goals. "This is the lowest I've been," said Frantz.

"I never ever thought about missing it. I can kick from that angle every day." Ohio State got the ball back again after the miss but Wisconsin's Don Davey picked off a batted pass with just over a minute left the Buckeyes' sixth turnover. Kramme rallies Indiana past Illinois, 34-22 BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -Dave Kramme, subbing for ailing quarterback Dave Schnell, ran for one touchdown and passed 58 yards to Ernie Jones for another Saturday, rallying 18th-ranked Indiana to a 34-22 Big Ten Conference football victory over Illinois. Two of Indiana's four second-half touchdowns were set up with fumble recoveries by Mike Dumas on kick-offs, including the clinching touchdown on a two-yard run by Anthony Thompson with 2:29 remaining.

Kramme got his first start of the season after Schnell, fifth in the nation in pass efficiency, was hospitalized Saturday morning and underwent surgery for appendicitis. The Hoosiers, appearing rattled by the loss of Schnell, managed only 64 yards net offense in the first half and trailed 16-3 before Kramme completed four straight passes to the Illinois 1-yard line on their first possession of the third period. Thompson ran in for his first touchdown, and Indiana regained possession moments later with fumble recover at the Illinois 5. It took three plays for Indiana to score again. Kramme, who had 43 passing yards in the first half, finished with 228 yards, including the 58-yard scoring strike early in the fourth quarter to Jones.

Michigan State closes in on Rose Bowl, 45-3 EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -Michigan State quarterback Bobby McAllister won't say "Rose Bowl" right out loud. He doesn't have to. It's written all over his face. McAllister passed for two touchdowns and ran for another as the 15th-ranked Spartans remained on track for their first Rose Bowl berth in 22 years with a 45-3 Big Ten football victory over Purdue Saturday.

"This feels great," McAllister said. "This is the thing we've worked so hard for. Now, it's time to cash in on it. "It's right there. It's in the palm of our hand." McAllister ran 16 times for 70 yards and completed six of 11 passes for 126 yards, giving him 196 of the Spartans' 542 total yards.

(AP) Todd Gregoire kicked four field goals, including the game-winner, as Wisconsin rallied to beat Ohio State 26-24 Saturday for the Badgers' first Big Ten football victory this season. But it was the Wisconsin defense that really stole the show, especially in a rainy second half when it forced six Buckeye turnovers. "We got some Interceptions and some fumbles and got Todd Gregoire into a position to help us. Then we just held on," first-year Wisconsin Coach Don Morton said.

"It's a momentous day; but it's the players' day. We needed something good to happen to this football team." Trailing 24-13 at the half, the Badgers took advantage of four interceptions and two fumbles by the Buckeyes in a steady rain. And Gregoire, who had two field goals in the first half, kicked two more, in-' eluding the game-winner with 10:49 to go. Wisconsin is now 1-5 in the Big Ten and 3-6 overall. Ohio State fell to 5-3-1 and 3-3 in the Big Ten and Coach Earl Bruce said there really wasn't much to say.

"We made the mistakes and we paid for the mistakes," Bruce said. Gregoire's decisive field goal, a 41-', yarder, followed a pass interception by the Badgers' Pete Nowka and gave Wisconsin the 26-24 lead. Ohio State had a chance to regain the lead IbvvaConf.

Big Eight Sooners win, but Carr, Holieway out for season NORMAN. Okla.

(AP) There was no way the good news could outweigh the bad for top-ranked Oklahoma on Saturday.
