THE GETTYSBURG TIMES, SATURDAY, JANUARY 2, 1993 3B Baylor thumps Arizona in Hancock Bowl, 20-15 Mississippi shuts out Air Force Associated Press EL PASO, Texas Record- setting flanker Melvin Bonner caught two touchdown passes and Baylor beat No. 22 Arizona at its own defensive game Thursday, presenting coach Grant Teaff with a career-ending 20-15 victory in the Hancock Bowl. Teaff, doused with ice and lauded at midfield by the jubilant Bears, is leaving the sidelines to become the school's athletic director. He ended a 21 -year coaching career in Waco with a record of 128405-6. The 6-foot-3 Bonner, who finished with a Hancock-record 166 yards on 5 receptions, wrecked an Arizona defense that was No.

2 in the nation this season while giving up an average of just 9 points a game. Bonner caught a 61-yard scoring pass off a halfback option throw from reserve Brandell Jackson and shook loose on the sideline for a 69-yard TD run. Arizona got a 7-yard scoring run from quarterback George Malauulu and field goals of 22 and 20 yards by Steve McLaughlin. Bonner burned All-Pac 10 cor- nerback Keshon Johnson on both of his scoring plays. A beaten Johnson fell down at the Arizona 40 on the connection with 4:50 left in the half.

Wilfo 14:10 left in the game, Johnson was unable to wrap up Bonner on the sidelines, allowing him to streak untouched into the end zone to put the Bears in front for good 14-13. Bonner also bailed out the Bears after Baylor (7-5) stopped an Arizona (6-5-1) drive at the goal line early in the fourth quarter. With the nose of the football touching the goal line and Baylor facing a third- and-10 situation, Bonner found a seam in the Wildcats secondary and pulled in the pass from quarterback J.J. Joe for a first down. Gator Bowl No.

Matthews, the most prolific COLLEGE BOWLS passer in Southeastern Conference history, also scored on a 1-yard run as the 14th-ranked Gators (9-4) snapped a two-game losing string. Florida's defense, much- maligned during the season, forced a bowl-record 11 punts and Rhett picked up 125 yards in the second half as the Craters controlled the clock. Fog arrived at the beginning of the second period and grew increasingly heavy during the game, making it nearly impossible for fans to follow the movement of the ball.

Dou Innocent ran for a touchdown and Cassius Ware recovered a fumble and had two sacks as No. 20 Mississippi shut down Air Force 13-0 Thursday night in the Liberty Bowl. Mississippi (9-3) had little trouble controlling the run-oriented offense of Air Force (7-5), which ended the season by losing its last two games and four of the last six. More than 15,000 people who bought tickets stayed home because of cold weather and afore- cast of sleet. The temperature was in the 30s during the game, with gusts producing a wind chill in the teens.

Grbac and McGee accounted for two touchdowns, the first on a 49-yard pass in the first period. Grbac, who had a bad day in the Rose Bowl a year ago, this time completed 17 of 30 for 175 yards, with no interceptions. Brunell, the 1991 Rose Bowl MVP who played little in last year's game, completed 18 of 30 for 308 yards and two scores.

The Huskies' late-season slide seemed to coincide with some off- the-field controversy, including the suspension of last year's Rose Bowl MVP, Billy Joe Robert, for accepting a $50,000 loan. Brunell had knee surgery in the spring of 1991 and Hobert took over the starting quarterback job that fall. Brunell made a quick recovery, but mostly watched the 1992 Rose Bowl from the sidelines as Hobert ran the show. The Wolverines' victory in the "93 Rose Bowl came after they had closed the regular season with ties against Illinois and Ohio State, dropping Michigan from third in the national rankings. The Wolverines' other tie came in the season opener against Notre Dame.

88-yard scoring run was the longest in Rose Bowl history, and his rushing yardage came on just 15 carries. Wheatley's third touchdown, the 24-yarder, pulled the Wolverines even at 31-31 with 1:48 remaining in the third quarter. The run came on the first play after Bobby Powers recovered a fumble by the Huskies' Napoleon Kaufman. That series of events came only moments after Peter Elezovic missed a 33-yard field goal try for the Wolverines. Hanson's 44-yard field goal gave the Huskies a 31-24 edge with 6:42 left in the third period.

Kaufman had scored from the 1 -yard line earlier in the period to put the Huskies up by four points. Wheatley's long run, on the first scrimmage play of the second half, had put the Wolverines back in front 24-21. Brunell's second touch down pass of the game, an 18-yarder to Mark Bruener, brought the Huskies back from a 17-7 deficit and into a 21-17 lead in the second quarter. The touchdown was set up by Brunell's 55-yard pass to Damon Barry. Washington had narrowed the gap to 17-14 on the long TD pass to Jason Shelley.

Michigan safety Corwin Brown had good position on Shelley, but Shelley came down with the ball near the goal line and stumbled into the end zone. Although he fumbled the ball, the officials ruled that Shelley had possession when he broke the plane of the goal. Earlier in the second quarter, Wheatley staked the Wolverines to a 10-point lead when he broke through the line of scrimmage then outran the Huskies' defenders--as he also did later on the 88-yard dash. Michigan led 10-7 at the end of the first quarter, with Grbac hitting a wide-open McGee up the middle for a 49-yard touchdown with 2:07 left in the period. Washington had taken the lead less than two minutes earlier when Darius Turner capped an 80-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.

Elezovic put the Wolverines on the board first with a 41-yard field Fins (From page IB) Plans for a "Youth Field Day" to be sponsored by sportsmen from Adams and Cumberland counties were announced.

IRISH ON THE RUN Notre Dame quarterback Rick Mirer (3) prepares to hand off the ball to tailback Reggie Brooks (40) as AP Loserphoto guard Todd Norman (66) leads the way against Texas AM in the first quarter of the Cotton Bowl game, Friday in Dallas. Irish end Texas AM's title bid Notre Dame defense keys a 28-3 victory By DENNE H.

FREEMAN AP Sports Writer DALLAS Rick Mirer's offense and Notre Dame's stingy defense destroyed Texas AM's hopes of being the third team with a 13-0 season and ended any slim chance the Aggies had of a national championship. Playing without suspended Greg Hill, its top rusher, the Aggie's bid for a perfect season was shattered Friday by the Fighting Irish 28-3 in the Cotton Bowl. "This is a disappointing way to go out and we have to live with it," AM coach R.C. Slocum said. If they had won, the Aggies likely would have become the first team with a 13-0 record not to win the national championship, finishing behind the Miami-Alabama winner in the final polls.

"You can't blame the suspension on our loss," said tackle John Ellisor. "Notre Dame just whipped us plain and simple. We were dominated." The Aggies let Mirer escape to make big plays and throw for two COTTON BOWL touchdowns as the fifth-ranked Irish finished the season 10-1-1 with a victory over the Southwest Conference champions on a field made slippery by a freezing drizzle. "Rick is the most underrated quarterback in America," said Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz. "He was almost perfect and this just may be the best game we've played since Fve been coach at Notre Dame.

In the last seven games, this may just be the best team I've been around. "I think today we could have beaten any team in the country. I think the last six or seven weeks, we've played as well as anyone else." Notre Dame finished the season with five straight victories over Top 25 opponents. But controversy surrounded Notre Dame's appearance in the bowl, when No. 3 Florida State was passed over by the selection committee in favor of the Irish.

They were ready to prove the validity of that selection. Mirer, tailback Reggie Brooks and fullback Jerome Bettis did just that in the 31-degree, 16-degree wind- chill conditions before less than the announced attendance of 71,615 fans. By the end of the game the Aggies probably were wishing they had played the Seminoles. Slocum said the timing was gone. "We were hit and miss, but Notre Dame had a lot to do with that," Slocum said.

"We're not accustomed to getting beat like we did today." Mirer threw a touchdown pass to close the first half and hit a 26-yard scoring strike to Bettis to open the second half. Mirer's 11-yard run also set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Bettis late in the third period. Bettis scored again on a 4-yard yard run late in the fourth period. Mirer rushed 13 times for 55 yards and hit eight of 17 passes for 119 yards. Bettis rushed 20 times for 75 yards and Brooks carried 22 times for 115 yards.

Hearst, Georgia run past Ohio St. By ED SHEARER AP Sports Writer ORLANDO, Fla. Georgia's three key players came through, and it gave the Bulldogs their first 10-victory season since 1983. Garrison Hearst ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns Friday as Georgia beat No. 15 Ohio State 21-14 in the Florida Citrus Bowl.

Eric Zeier passed for 242 yards. Andre Hastings caught eight passes for 113 yards and returned a kickoff 49 yards to set up a scoring drive at the start of the third quarter. "Great players make great plays' Georgia coach Ray Goff said. "All three of those guys came through for us today." The 15th-ranked Buckeyes (8-3-1) lost their fourth straight bowl game, all under coach John Cooper. But they had chances in the fourth quarter.

"Hastings was great and Hearst was every bit as good as advertised," Cooper said. "He's probably the difference in the game today. Zeier did an outstanding job." Hearst, third in the Heisman Trophy voting behind Miami's Gino Torretta and San Diego State's Marshall Faulk, scored the Bulldogs' first two touchdowns from a yard out in the first quarter and on a 5-yard run in the third. He set up the game-winner. CITRUS BOWL "If it wouldn't have been for a few bad plays, we would have been able to score a few more points," Hearst said.

"But, we won the game, and thafs all that matters." Frank Harvey's 1-yard run with 4:32 left broke a 14-14 tie and sent the eighth-ranked Bulldogs (10-2) to victory. Hearst had runs of 13 and 11 yards and Zeier completed a 21-yard pass to Shannon Mitchell before Harvey scored. Ohio State used Robert Smith's 45-yard run on a screen pass to reach the Bulldogs' 15 early in the fourth quarter. But three plays later, Kirk Herbstreit and Jeff Cothran collided on a handoff, causing a fumble that Georgia's Travis Jones recovered. "Had we scored there, we had a chance to go on top of them for the first time," Cooper said.

"We seemed to be playing catch up all day." On the game's last play, Herbstreit's pass into the end zone was intercepted by Mike Jones. Earlier in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs reached Ohio State's 28 before Zeier lost a fumble on a snap. Smith, the Buckeyes' star running back, had 112 yards on 25 carries and, like Hearst, also scored on runs of 1 and 5 yards. Georgia had an impressive open- ing drive after forcing the Buckeyes to punt on their first possession. The Bulldogs went 80 yards in 14 plays their most in a scoring drive this season to take a 7-0 lead when Hearst ran left for a score.

Hearst had eight carries for 43 yards, including a 14-yarder, and backup Terrell Davis had runs of 13 and 6 yards in the drive. The Bulldogs reached Ohio State's 29 on their next possession, but were forced to punt when Zeier was sacked for a 10-yard loss by Jason Simmons. The Buckeyes fought poor field position throughout the first half, starting at their 16, 20, 4 and 11 before getting the turnover that led to Ihe 54-yard scoring drive just before halftime. Fulmer's debut a success Tennessee holds off Boston College, 38-23 By FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer TAMPA, Fla. Tennessee ushered in the Phillip Fulmer era with pizazz.

Boston College may have closed out Tom Coughlin's reign with a thud. Fulmer won his first official game as coach of the 17th-ranked Volunteers on Friday, 38-23 over BC in the Hall of Fame Bowl. Coughlin, in his second year as coach of the 16th-ranked Eagles, reportedly is being eyed by the pros. HALL OF FAME BOWL Heath Shuler ran for two touchdowns and threw for two more to pace Tennessee, which built a 24-point lead with him in the game and then surrendered two TDs and a pair of two-point conversions in the fourth quarter. Shuler, the versatile sophomore quarterback, scored on runs of 1 and 14 yards and also threw TD passes of 27 yards to Cory Fleming and 69 yards to Mose Phillips, who broke three tackles after taking a short flip from Shuler.

Although the Volunteers (9-3) finished with four victories under Fulmer, Friday's game was the coach's first since succeeding Johnny Majors, who was forced out after 16 seasons at Tennessee. The long-time Vols assistant won three games while his former boss was recovering from heart bypass surgery in September. Boston College (8-3-1) was making its first appearance in a bowl game since 1986 and may have played its last game under Coughlin, who reportedly is a leading candidate for the New York Giants vacancy. Coughlin refused to speculate on his chances of succeeded Ray Handley as coach of the NFL team. The Eagles fell behind 14-0 in the first 10 minutes of the game and never recovered.

Glenn Foley threw two touchdown passes to Pete Mitchell, covering 12 and 17 yards, and Darnell Campbell scored on a 7-yard run. Shuler, meanwhile, completed 18 of 23 passes for 245 yards and gained 31 yards rushing on six attempts in just under three quarters. He was replaced by Jerry Colquitt, who threw a 28-yard TD pass to Fleming in the fourth quarter. Ball control was one of Coughlin's biggest concerns before the game. He figured Boston College needed to control the clock to have a chance to win and the Eagles did that early, hoi ding the ball for more than 11 minutes of the opening quarter yet still found themselves trailing by two touchdowns.

Tennessee struck quickly after starting its first possession in BC territory when Eagles punter Jeff Beckley was tackled for an 11-yard loss after taking a high snap from center. Shuler threw 42 yards to Ronald Davis at the BC 1 on Tennessee's first play, then scored two plays later on a quarterback keeper for a 7-0 lead. The 6-foot-3 sophomore went to work again the next time from his own 45. Charlie Garner had carries of 6 and 8 yards and Shuler threw 12 yards to Phillips to set up his 27-yard TD pass to Fleming, who eluded three tacklers crossing over the middle.
