one touchdown. LSU's objective was to score quickly and often, which it did. The Tigers' longest scoring drive was its shortest covered 74 yards in 21 seconds. Fullerton wanted to control the ball, eating up time in an effort to keep the score down. As part of that effort, Murphy had Barber start the plays as close to the end of the 25-second limit as possible, resulting in one Fullerton possession of 7:21.

At the start, it looked as if the game might become a route of the magnitude predicted on the marquee of a local car dealership: 84-0. With just 2:24 gone, Hodson connected with Brian Kinchen for a 37-yard touchdown. Fullerton was forced to punt on its first possession after just three three minutes later, Victor Jones scored from the one-yard line, ending a scoring drive keyed by a 19-yard run by Alvin Lee on a reverse. Less than five minutes into the game, it was 14-0. But on the strength of two scrambling runs by Barber 13 and 11 yards and Robinson's 14-yard reception and 16-yard run, Fuller-ton drove to the LSU 25-yard line, setting up Lambert's 41-yard field goal, giving the Titans their first points of the season.

From that point on, it seemed as if the teams were playing under a tacit agreement in the first half. On each possession, LSU would get its touchdown, and Fullerton a field goal, but no more. Lambert added field goals of 31, 41 and 49 yards, the final one coming with no time remaining in the half. LSU's permissiveness ended when the second half began. Fullerton was forced to punt on its first possession, and did not score again.

For Fullerton, it was, well, an experience. The day probably will not come when gubernatorial candidates offer free jambalaya and beer as one did here outside Santa Ana Stadium, Fullerton's home field. "I told our freshmen to get a good look at the stands," Murphy said. "They saw more people tonight than they will in the next four years at Santa Ana Bowl it was good for us to come away thinking, 'Hey, we hung in there with these It was a good news, bad news situation." By ROBYN NORWOOD, Times Staff Writer BATON ROUGE, Cal State Fullerton, it was a rare evening of football in the big-time. For sixth-ranked Louisiana State and the crowd of 73,452 here, it was a satisfactory enough diversion.

LSU (2-0) scored on every possession but two one ended in a fumble and the other with the end of the game in defeating the Titans, 56-12, Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, an edifice so cavernous that 1,500 students are housed in dormitory roomswithin its walls. Pity Matt DeFrank, the Tiger punter. He didn't get any work at all. But on a night when the Titans (0-2) could have set all manner of negative records, their only record was a positive one. Stan Lambert, a transfer from Long Beach City College who had never attempted a field goal in a Fullerton uniform, kicked a school-record four, including one from 49 yards.

And for its willingness to play a team way over its head, Fullerton also came home $200,000 richer, courtesy of the home team. "I hadn't kicked the ball that well in years," said Lambert, who scored all of Fullerton's points. "It means a lot to prove to yourself and your team that you can kick that well." Fullerton's offensive performance was a marked improvement over last week, when the Titans advanced no further than the opponent's 39-yard line in a 44-0 loss to Hawaii. This week, they got as far as the LSU 14-yard line, and LSU kept its starting defense in the game as late as the third quarter. Fullerton quarterback Ronnie Barber completed 18 of 30 passes for 119 yards.

Running backs Tra-cey Pierce and William Robinson combined for 70 yards rushing and caught five passes each. "Our offense was really good," Barber said. "Last week we had tough times. We just wanted to get better." After managing just 100 yards total offense last week, Fullerton finished with 289 yards. LSU's Tom Hodson passed for 230 yards and three touchdowns, completing 11 of 13 passes.

Wendell Davis, the Tigers' second-team All-American wide receiver, caught 8 passes for 151 yards and Amdited Praia Auburn's James Joseph 1 0) pulls out of the grasp of Kansas cornerback Johnny Granderson to score early in the Tigers' 49-0 victory. Southeast Roundup Burger Helps No. 4 Auburn Rout Kansas, 49-0 Utah State quarterback Brent Snyder connected on only 14 of 28 passes for 128 yards and had two intercepted. He was sacked four times by Kentucky's blitzing defense. Vanderbilt 27, Memphis St.

17 Fullback Mark Johnson, whose first-half fumble led to a Memphis State touchdown, charged up the middle for a 14-yard score in the fourth quarter to help the Commodores beat the Tigers at Nashville, Tenn. Johnson's touchdown and Johnny Clark's extra point gave Vanderbilt a 21-17 edge after trailing 17-0 at halftime in its season opener. Clark added two 20-yard field goals late in the game to end the scoring. From Times Wire Services The fourth-ranked Auburn Tigers raced past Kansas, 49-0, Saturday night at Auburn, and Kansas Coach Bob Valesente saw one reason for the rout. "Our players looked like they were playing in quicksand compared with their speed," he said.

Valesente said Auburn quarterback Jeff Burger was impressive, looking like "a street fighter a tough competitor." Burger turned mostly to the air as he passed for 189 yards and 2 touchdowns, helping Auburn build a 28-0 first-quarter lead on the way to the romp. "I really don't have any explanation for what happened tonight," Auburn Coach Pat Dye said. "I think Kansas was outmanned in some areas. I don't think we're that much better than Kansas." "I'm proud of our players' effort," Valesente said. "But I wasn't proud of the way we played in the first quarter." Auburn, of the Southeastern Conference, won its second game in two starts, while Kansas, of the Big Eight, picked up where it left off last year, when it was outscored 1 18-0 in its final two games.

The Auburn defense shut down the Kansas running game, limiting the Jayhawks to 31 yards on 16 rushes, and didn't give up a first down until the closing moments of the first half. Kansas, relying on the passing of, quarterback Kelly Donohoe, never got closer than the Auburn 46. Burger, playing only sparingly after the first quarter, completed 12 of 15 passes, including touchdowns of 5 yards to Freddy Weygand and 51 yards to Alexander Wright. In the first quarter alone, Burger completed 8 of 10 passes for 131 yards. Tennessee 38, Mississippi St.

10 Red-shirt freshman tailback Reggie Cobb scored three touchdowns, and quarterback Jeff Francis passed for 227 yards as the 14th-ranked Volunteers won a Southeastern Conference opener at Starkville, Miss. The victory pushed Tennessee to 3-0 for the season with its eighth straight win over the last two years. It also marked the first victory in four games for Coach Johnny Majors against Mississippi State, where he once was an assistant coach. Mississippi State fell to 1-1 as the Bulldogs were unable to repeat the 27-23 upset of Tennessee a year ago. Cobb, who had 169 yards in total offense, scored on runs of 23 and 9 yards and added a third touchdown on a 39-yard pass reception from Francis, who completed 13 of 23 attempts.

Arkansas 31, Mississippi 10 Strong safety Steve Atwater scored on a 16-yard pass interception, and 13th-ranked Arkansas' defense set up another touchdown as the Razorbacks beat Mississippi at Jacksonville, Miss. Arkansas, the Southwest Conference title favorite, used a 21-point second quarter and a big-play defense to hand Ole Miss its second loss in as many games. The Razorback defense forced four turnovers. Junior quarterback Greg Thomas paced Arkansas' flexbone attack with 73 yards in 17 carries, including several scrambles to keep drives alive. Florida 52, Tulsa 0 Freshman Emmitt Smith ran for 109 yards and 2 touchdowns at Gainesville, as Florida rebounded from a poor season-opening performance and buried Tulsa before a rain-soaked crowd of 72,172.

The Gators, coming off a 31-4 loss to Miami, broke the game open in the second quarter when Smith scored on a 66-yard run, and the Florida defense held Tulsa's pass-oriented offense to just one first down. Smith, one of the nation's top recruits after rushing for 8,804 yards and 106 touchdowns at Pen-sacola Escambia High School, also scored on a 1-yard run during the Gators' 21 -point second quarter. The 5-foot-10, 201 -pound running back, with only 10 carries, posted the first 100-yard game of his college career. Florida quarterback Kerwin Bell, coming back from a slight shoulder separation suffered against Miami, completed 11 of 14 passes for 148 yards and 1 touchdown. Kentucky 41, Utah St.

0 At Lexington, Mark Higgs and Dee Smith scored two touchdowns apiece as the Wildcats rolled to a 35-0 lead at halftime. Higgs, who finished with 158 yards in 11 carries, ran 85 yards and 13 yards for touchdowns. Smith scored on a 6-yard run and broke away on a 64-yard punt return. Ivy Joe Hunter gave Kentucky its 35-0 lead on a 20-yard run. Joe Worley added field goals of 42 and 31 yards and became the school's all-time scoring leader with 189 points.
