3B Wisconsin State Journal COLLEGE FOOTBALL Sunday, October 1 1 989 Hurricanes, backup QB tip Spartans State Journal wire services EAST LANSING, Mich. When second-string quarterback Gino Tor-retta took the reins of the second-ranked Miami Hurricanes on Saturday, he had some brotherly advice in his ears. "He told me, 'Always be ready to Torretta said of his older brother, Geoff, who had been in a similar position once. have a funny feeling this might be your Torretta recounted his brother saying. "And he was right."

Erickson fractured a knuckle on his throwing hand in the second quarter, and will be in a cast for four weeks, a school official said He won't be able to practice until early November. "The loss (of Erickson) means a great deal," Miami Coach Dennis Erickson said. "It's probably going to be a month or so.

Gino will continue to improve." Torretta threw for one touchdown and Alex Johnson ran for another for the Hurricanes (4-0). Michigan State (1-2), which lost to top-ranked Notre Dame last week, got two field goals from John Langeloh, a touchdown run by quarterback Dan Enos and an interception return for a score by safety Harlon Barnett. Ironically, Geoff Torretta had been in a similar role in November 1986, when he stepped in for Vinny Testaverde against East Carolina. Miami won that game, 36-10. "It's always in the back of your mind," Gino said.

"I'll be ready to play. It's a great offense and I feel I have' the ability to play well" Michigan State Coach George Perles thought Miami's defense was the difference after seeing his team held to 80 yards rushing on 45 attempts and 221 yards total offense. "I would say that's one of the best defensive lines around," he said. Huerta's third field goal, a 45-yard-er, followed the game-tying score by Barnett, who raced 35 yards after intercepting a pass by Torretta. Huerta added a 52-yard field goal late in the game.

Defensive end Greg Mark sacked Enos to snuff out one Spartans attempt to recover. Michigan State's last possession ended in the final minute at its 23-yard line when Enos fumbled when his arm was hit while he tried to pass. Enos was sacked five times in the game and knocked hard to the turf several times after throwing. "Twenty-six to 20 on national TV; I think people got their money's worth," Dennis Erickson said Elvis has a hit in home debut Grbac TD passes pace Michigan BIG TEN Ohio State 34, Boston College 29 Scottie Graham rushed for 151 yards on 19 carries including a 70-yard touchdown run and the Buckeyes (2-1) stopped the visiting Eagles (0-4) on fourth-and-1 at the 4-yard line in the final minute to preserve the victory at Columbus, Ohio. Carlos Snow scored on runs of 24 and 16 yards and finished with 143 yards on 23 carries for Ohio State, which totaled 602 yards total offense 350 rushing.

Associated Press The Elvis show, after two weeks of rehearsal, had a better run in Michigan Stadium on Saturday. Elvis Grbac completed his first five passes, two of them for touchdowns, helping sixth-ranked Michigan to a 41-21 victory over Maryland at Ann Arbor, Mich. It was the second start for Grbac, a redshirt freshman forced to play when starter Michael Taylor was injured in the third quarter of the Wolverines opener against Notre Dame. Michigan lost that game, despite two touchdown passes by Grbac, then he led the Wolverines to a 24-23 comeback victory at UCLA last week. "After the game against UCLA, I knew I didn't play that well" Grbac said "I wanted to go out there and lead the team." Grbac finished with 10.

completions in 20 attempts for 187 yards as Michigan improved to 2-1. Some of Grbac's success was due to the fact that Maryland was playing without strong safety Kevin Fowlkes who was suspended after a campus fight last Sunday. AROUND THE NATION Timeless TD halts Kansas State's slide Tears of joy streamed down the face of the quarterback whose touchdown pass with no time remaining had just ended the longest losing streak in the country. "Sorry, fellas, but I'm still kind of emotional," Kansas State's Carl Straw said. "But, for the rest of my life, no matter what happens, I don't know what could ever be a greater feeling than this." Straw guided the Wildcats 85 yards in nine plays and fired a 12-yard strike to Frank Hernandez on the final play of the game, lifting the victory-starved Wildcats past North Texas, 20-17, at Manhattan, Kan.

The triumph snapped the Wildcats' 30-game winless streak and 16-game losing skid both the longest within the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I. "There were people jumping over the bench, people tackling me," said Kansas State defensive end Maurice Henry, who had three quarterback sacks. "Little kids were biting my ankles. It was devastating. It's only one win, but it feels like we won the Super BowL" North Texas, tied with Eastern Kentucky for the No.

1 ranking in the Division I-AA polL became the Wildcats' first victim since they defeated Kansas, 29-12, in 1986. Meanwhile, at Fitchburg, Bridgewater State defeated Fitchburg State to extend the Falcons' Division III losing streak to 35, the longest current slide in the nation. Hugo help plentiful South Carolina's 24-20 upset of 23rd-ranked Georgia provided much more than bragging rights to those residents of South Carolina who are still reeling from hurricane Hugo. A sellout crowd of 84,000 at Athens, contributed approximately $54,000 to the Hugo relief fund after the University of Georgia asked spectators to lend a helping hand to the victims of the hurricane which blew ashore at Charleston, S.C., over a week ago. In Columbia, S.C., trash cans were set up for food and clothing outside Williams-Brice Stadium, home of the University of South Carolina.

Donations were being accepted there during the game matching The Citadel and South Carolina State. The game was played in Columbia because the storm damaged both teams' stadiums. Even as far away as Baton Rouge, fans donated canned goods at Tiger Stadium before the LSU-Ohio University game. Baylor's Goebel send strong-arm message Thanks to quarterback Brad Goe-beL Southwest Conference foes won't be able to take Baylor for granted this season. Goebel's 347-yard day, which included touchdown strikes of 75 and 65 yards, helped propel the Bears past Texas Tech, 29-15, and avenge a 36-6 whipping by the Red Raiders last year.

Also, notable performances occurred at: Logan, Utah, where Brigham Young's Ty Detmer passed for 335 yards and three touchdowns to help Brigham Young bury Utah State, 37-10. Beaumont, Texas, where Todd Hammel completed 32 of 42 passes for 407 yards and four touchdowns as Stephen F. Austin snapped Lamar University's three-game winning streak with a 44-20 victory.

St. Ambrose (3-1) entered the game ranked 13th in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division II. The Falcons moved to 3-1. Johnson, a freshman from Superior, started for Jeff Saueressig, the Wisconsin State University Conference's leading rusher who bruised a heel in the Falcons' 47-44 victory over UW-Eau Claire. Saueressig is expected back for next week's home game against UW-Oshkosh.

Two-point conversion passes failed after each touchdown, leaving Pittsburgh behind, 31-21.

West Virginia was unable to run out the clock and punted with 49 seconds left. Van Pelt, intercepted four times in the game, teamed with Tuten on a 25-yard pass on fourth-and-8 to move MORGANTOWN, W. Va. (AP) -West Virginia Coach Don Nehlen and Pittsburgh Coach Mike Gottfried agreed on one thing after Pittsburgh rallied from a 22-point deficit in the final 9 minutes, 9 seconds for a 31-31 tie Saturday night. "It's unbelievable," Nehlen said.

"Strange things happen in this game, I guess. We had so many chances to win this game, it's unbelievable." Ed Frazier kicked a 42-yard field goal as time expired to cap a comeback that saw the lOth-ranked Panthers rally from a 31-9 deficit. "I don't believe in moral victories, but to come back here in this place Gottfried said "It's a great feeling to come out of here without a loss. It's unbelievable."
