Wisconsin, Irish pull upsets B4 The Manhattan Mercury Sunday, October 28. 1984 'Black Shirts' make it long day for KSU team, but I pictured them from my freshman year (1983)," Newton said. "They don't have any Steinkuhler's (Dean, an Outland and Lombardi Award winner in 1983 for NU), but they still execute plays well and that's what-counts." Saturday, NU made play-after-play in the first half as the Cats managed only 19 rushing yards on 19 carries. From start to close, the day was indeed black for those dressed in purple. The "Black Shirts" made sure of that.

37-7 drubbing of Kentucky. Quarterback Chuck Long passed for two touchdowns and broke an NCAA record with 22 straight pass completions Saturday, but No. 17 Iowa was hard-pressed to hold off winless Indiana 24-20. Freshman tailback Ryan Knight ran for 122 yards and two touchdowns to pace 20th-ranked Southern Cal's 31-7 pasting of California. No.

8 Miami, No. 15 Florida State and No. 16 Florida were idle. No. 5 Brigham Young thumped New Mexico 48-0 on Thursday.

Despite a whopping offensive advantage, Wisconsin had to thwart a last-minute Ohio State challenge. The Buckeyes drove to the Wisconsin 20-yard line with 1:09 left, only to sur-renmer the ball on downs when Keith Byars was stopped a yard short of a first down. Louisiana State scored in five plays for a 7-0 lead, but the Irish responded behind the running of Pinkett. His 1-yard run tied the score in the first period and his 2-yard leap 28 seconds before the half put the Irish in control 17-7. Pinkett rushed for 162 yards and tied a school record with 40 carries.

College football's longest losing streak came to end when Marietta College tied Ohio Northern 3-3. Wally Kandel's 29-yard field goal accounted for the tying points. In Saturday night action, Paul Woodside's 49-yard field goal in the fourth period and Larry Holley's pass interception inside the final minute were the keys as No. 18 West Virginia shook off 29 years of frustration at the hands of Penn State by nipping the 19th Nittany Lions 17-14. The game ended with 35 seconds left on the clock when thousands'of fans charged onto the field to celebrate West Virginia's first defeat of Penn State since 1955.

A I 'V TV Mi By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Kansas' Dodge Schwartzburg kicked four field goals and Wayne Ziegler returned a pass interception 63 yards for a back-breaking touchdown Saturday as the Jayhawks mauled No. 2 Oklahoma 28-11 in one of the college football season's most stunning upsets. Twd other Top 10 clubs joined Oklahoma as upset victims. Lightly regarded Wisconsin rode the 203-yard rushing performance of reserve tailback Marck Harrison to a 16-14 shocker over No. 6 Ohio State.

And struggling Notre Dame broke a three-game losing streak by upsetting No. 7 Louisiana State behind the passing of Steve Beuerlein, the running of Allen Pinkett and John Carney's three field goals. Rueben Mayes set an NCAA single-game rushing record with 357 yards in leading Washington State to a 50-41 victory over Oregon. The 6-foot, 208-pound junior broke by one yard the mark set Eddie Lee Ivery of Georgia Tech against Air Force in 1978. Mayes carried the ball 39 times and scored on runs of two, 69 and 12 yards.

Although neither had an easy time, top-ranked Washington and No. 3 Texas managed victories. The Huskies, down 6-0 and struggling in the face of a fierce Arizona defense, got three scoring runs from Jacque Robinson after intermission and dispatched the Wildcats 28-12. Linebacker Ty Allert's fourth-period quarterback sack and James Lott's controversial pass defense preserved Texas' 13-7 victory over No. 14 Southern Methodist.

In other Top 10 games, reserve quarterback Mike Hold passed for two touchdowns and Kent Hagood rushed for 118 yards and a touchdown to lead No. 9 South Carolina to a 42-20 victory over East Carolina. Doug Flutie threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in llth-ranked Boston College's 35-23 victory over Rutgers, and freshman Robert McGinty kicked a 35-yard field goal on the game's final play to give No. 12 Auburn a 24-21 decision over Mississippi State.
