Sunday, September 11, 1688 Austin American-Statesman Collogo football Georgia's attack surprises TCU Arkansas outlasts Tulsa touchdown pass on an option play. "They took away our inside game, but they underestimated our passing game. I think we fooled them in the beginning with it," Worley said. "They threw more than I expected," TCU linebacker Paul Llewellyn said. "They surprised me more that they were as effective as they were passing." That effectiveness also was not lost on TCU Coach Jim Wacker.

"They threw the ball well, at least better than I thought they would. They threw a lot of nickel and dime stuff today. In the second quarter, they just took control of the game," he said. Talley made it 28-3 with a little over 1 minute left before halftime and connected on a 13-yard scoring toss to Sean Hummings to close out intermission. Georgia gained 286 total yards to TCU's 106.

Georgia added a 23-yard field goal by Steve Crumley after the second-half kickoff which Hampton returned 66 yards to TCU's 27-yard line. Worley added a 77-yard touchdown scamper in the fourth period. TCU added a fourth-quarter score on a 14-yard pass from David Rascoe to Jarrod Delaney.

(AP) Eighth-ranked Georgia's run-oriented offense surprised TCU with a second-quarter passing display that produced three touchdowns in a 38-10 victory Saturday, but Bulldogs' Coach Vince Dooley said it was more out of necessity than design. Georgia quarterback Wayne Johnson scored the Bulldogs' first touchdown and set up another with his passing in the second period and backup quarterback Greg Tal-ley threw for one TD and set up another with a pass in a 21-point second quarter. Georgia (2-0) led 7-3 after one quarter before exploding for the three touchdowns in the second period. The Bulldogs connected on seven of eight passes for 145 yards in the period. "Our passing game is not that bad," said Dooley, "but we were having trouble gaining (rushing) yards up the middle, so we had to pass." Johnson, who scored Georgia's first TD on a 37-yard run, set up the Bulldogs' second score with a 43-yard pass to Keith Henderson before Rodney Hampton rushed 11 yards for the touchdown.

Williams, a junior-college transfer from Arizona, relieved quarterback Quinn Grovey and completed a 24-yard pass to Tim Horton on third and 10. Grovey gave way again when Arkansas faced third and 5 at the Tulsa 26 and Williams responded with a 13-yard-strike to Horton. James Rouse, who had 108 yards on 22 carries, scored from there to put Arkansas on top 30-26 with 7:08 left.

Tulsa (1-1) went ahead four minutes earlier on a 20-yard field goal by David Fuess. Linebacker Alvin Harris forced Tulsa to settle for three points when he dropped Brett Adams for a 2-yard loss when Tulsa was only inches from the goal on third down. 1 Arkansas improved to 2-0 despite the performance of Rubley, who wasn't pressured until the final minutes. Time after time, he dumped the ball to receivers who made Arkansas tacklers miss them as they turned short passes into nice gains.

The Hoosiers scored again with 30 seconds left in the half on a 19- yard pass from Schnell to Rob Turner, who beat Rice's Greg King in a fight for the ball at the corner of the end zone. Despite the big victory margin, Indiana Coach Bill Mallory was glad to get the game behind him. "I was concerned because they can move the ball," Mallory said. "Rice can be good if they eliminated the mistakes.

They've got a lot of firepower." Rice Coach Jerry Berndt said the Owls' turnovers kept them from getting back in the game. "We kind of kept shooting ourselves in the foot," Berndt said. "We'd get things going a little and then we'd fumble. The fumble by Hollas at the goal line was a key play for us." Baylor struggles to down Kansas LAWRENCE, Kan.

The Cardinals took a 17-7 lead on a 24-yard strike from Smith to Tyrone Shavers.

At that point, Lamar Coach Ray Alborn said, things fell apart for the Cardinals. "We're called for offsides on the ensuing kickoff of Shavers' touchdown when we could have had the ball inside SWT's 40," Alborn said.
