(AP) -Senior quarterback Robert Ducksworth rambled for two touchdowns and connected on key passes Saturday night to spark Southern Mississippi to a 28-0 season opening football victory over Louisiana Tech. Before exiting the game in the fourth quarter, the 5-foot-10te Ducksworth passed for 67 yards and rushed for 109, including a 61-yard keeper to score in 54 seconds in the third. The Golden Eagle defense, which limited Tech to 138 total yards, and penalties kept the Bulldogs, defending Southland Conference champions, in check all night and Tech never threatened. Southern, an independent, scored the first time it got possession of the ball, marching 65 yards behind the hard running of tailback Vincent Alexander, a 5-foot-10, 200-pound junior. Alexander, who had gained 125 yards on 26 carries before leaving the game in the fourth period, punched the ball in from the one after Southern Mississippi controlled the ball for 11 plays.

Ducks worth's first tally came on a 1-yard run in the second quarter. Southern, which gained 439 yards to please the largely partisan Roberts Stadium crowd estimated at 23,432, got its final score with only seconds left when backup quarterback Andrew Anderson passed 23 yards to wide receiver Lyneal Alston. The Bulldogs suffered a major setback on Southern's fourth possession of the game when senior linebacker Tank Landry, a key to Tech's defense, was lost for the game with an injured left ankle. Tech's deepest penetration of the night came in the fourth quarter when quarterback Curtis Griffin, guided Tech to the Southern 26 before faltering.

Fullwood ran for 173 yards on 11 carries and scored one touchdown in Auburn's 49-7 victory. Also defending on the play is USL's Clarence Glenn (6). Not to be held Auburn's Brent Full wood (22) appears to be stopped, but breaks away from Southwestern Louisiana's Scott Sibille (72) to score a 70-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter Saturday at AUBURN, Ala. The last time USL's Ragin' Cajuns met Auburn in football was 40 years ago. The score then was 52-0, and it could have been worse than that in the rematch here Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

With Heisman Trophy favorite Bo Jackson looking every bit the part, carrying 23 times for 290 yards and four touchdowns, the Tigers devoured the outmanned Cajuns 49-7 in a game that could have been much worse. Led by Jackson, and by 173 yards on 11 carries by backup Brent Fullwood, Auburn rushed for a school-record 565 yards on the day. The only record USL set was by freshman Joe Redding, who had seven kickoff returns including one 53-yarder. Most coaches will take team rushing records over most kickoffs returned any day. As it turns out, all the pregame talk of Jackson winning the Heisman Trophy in one sunny afternoon was not entirely hyperbolic.

It was stunning just how easily the Tiger tailback chewed up real estate, totalling 206 yards on 10 carries and scoring three remarkable touchdowns in the first half alone seemingly without breaking a sweat. Jackson's 42-yard ramble around left end initiated the day's effort, a play that reached the USL 11-yard line and preceeded by three snaps his tackle-cracking seven-yard touchdown run over right tackle. Then after another futile USL possession, the Tigers bolted to a 14-0 lead with a 60-yard march the climax being Jackson's 47-yard scoring burst. Score it two Auburn possessions, 10 plays, 114 yards, and five carries for 105 yards for Jackson. The Tigers, who used three quarterbacks in their first three possessions, soon tired of watching Bo run, though.

When a fourth Auburn possession started on the Tiger 45, starting QB Bobby Walden faded to pass and found flanker Trey Gainous behind the USL secondary on a post pattern for a 55-yard touchdown. The play was called back by penalty, but it further illustrated just how much Auburn was in control. An Elton Slater interception of a Walden sideline pass intended for Freddy Weygand put USL on the Tiger 46, but the Cajuns failed to move. Then, when the Tigers set up again at their 24-yard line, that man Jackson stepped back out of the phone booth and rocketed down the right sideline for a 76-yard touchdown. In one quarter of play, Jackson had six carries for 181 yards and three scores as the Tigers took command, 21-0.

And, it didn't seem to matter who AU Coach Pat Dye inserted at tailback, so complete was his team's domination. With backup Brent Fullwood churning for 40 yards on five carries, Auburn moved 73 yards in eight plays to a 28-0 lead. The payoff came when H-back Kyle Collins flared out of the Ambitious Cajuns paying dues The visitors, in contrast, checked in at halftime with but 65 yards to their name. Even when the Cajuns did well, things went bad. The Tigers had to punt on their first third-period possession, but Lewis Colbert's punt traveled 77 yards to the USL end zone.

It was that kind of afternoon. A six-play, 72-yard blitzkrieg, capped by a 12-yard scoring jaunt by Jackson and highlighted by a 39-yard Jeff Burger to Weygand pass to the USL 10, hiked the count to 42-0 before the Cajuns could avert a shutout. Senior safety Clarence Glenn, who earlier had thwarted an Auburn drive with an end zone interception of a bomb intended for Weygand, jumped high in the air to snare a Washington pass at the Tiger 35 on the last play of the third quarter. His 20-yard return set the Cajuns up at the 15 to start the last period, and Robertson went to a gadget play for the six as tailback Dwayne Williams lofted a throwback pass which King caught with a leaping effort at the goal line. But, while the Cajuns were forced to revert to gadgetry for their lone score, the Tigers answered with more power football.

Fullwood broke a stranglehold of tackles from his 30 and raced free for a 70-yard TD thai finished off the day's scoring. The Cajuns even tried to get Patrick Broussard some field goal work, but his 36-yard try with 2:52 to go was blocked. That was fitting; the Cajuns had been up against a road block all day long.

RECEIVING USL, Herrick 3-65, Morgan 3 33, King 1 15. Auburn, Weygand 1 39, Gainous 2 32, Parks 2 26. By BRUCE BROWN Sports Editor How much aspirin and adhesive tape will $220,000 buy? USL's Ragin' Cajuns must be asking themselves that question after Saturday's introductory class meeting in CFA 101, the freshman-level course in achieving full-fledged Division 1-A football status. As an independent program, Coach Sam Robertson's Cajuns stand to make in the neighborhood of $220,000 from the nationally-televised 49-7 trouncing at the hands of the Auburn Tigers. Heisman Trophy winner er, favorite Bo Jackson brushed off Cajun tacklers like so many dried leaves en route to 290 yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries, and backup Brent Fullwood netted 173 on 11 tries, as the Tigers of Coach Pat Dye rolled up 565 yards rushing and 695 overall.

Dye, who had split with USL in two meetings as head coach at East Carolina, could have sent the score soaring even higher for a team ranked No.l in the nation by The Sporting News. The Tiger mentor passed on some opportunities to really bury the outmanned visitors. But, considering that Jackson's first six carries netted 181 yards and three TD's, it was hard to control the flow. "I had a feeling we would be pretty good offensively," said Dye, who this year has switched from a wishbone to an I-formation attack to better suit the talents of Jackson and Fullwood. "One thing we did differently today is that we played the front line a little longer to see how long Bo could run." That turned out to be a long, long way.

"It's hard to compare Bo to anybody we've played against," said Robertson. His own tailback, Rayne's Dwayne Williams, had one run of 31 yards, but otherwise was held to six yards on eight carries as the Cajun running attack netted just 49 yards. Jackson had 42 on his first try. The Cajuns' Thomas King was under heavy pressure all day, but did find some time in the second half. When he did, former Lafayette High star Dana Herrick was on the spot with three impressive catches for 65 yards on the afternoon.

If USL had been able to force Auburn to the air more often, they would have had something, as Clarence Glenn had two interceptions and Elton Slater one. The Cajuns also recovered a Tiger fumble on a muffed punt. "If we get mistake-free," said Dye, "we can move the ball on any team we play." There can be little doubt of that ffft Still, the Cajuns went down swinging. Defensive tackle Kevin Sorice, one member of a grossly out-weighed defensive unit, had his moments as he stood up Jackson a time or two. Jackson, who had 206 yards on 10 carries at halftime, proved a bit more mortal in the second half with 84 on 13.

"The money from this game," said USL Athletic Director Dr. Terry Don Phillips, "will help in recruiting. And that will help bring us up to a level where we're competitive with the top teams in the country." For now, the Cajuns must lick their wounds and prepare for a visit to Ruston next week to face a Louisiana Tech team that was second in the nation in 1984 in the Division 1-AA playoffs. Tech opened at Southern Mississippi last night, and Southern Mississippi gets the Bo Jackson Show next week in Auburn. It wasn't too long ago that Southern Miss was taking its first, tentative steps into Division 1-A football, and taking some major lumps in doing so.

The same immediate fate awaits Robertson Cajuns, without question. But, USM whipped Alabama 38-29-in 1982, and USL topped USM last season. There is a light, somewhere, at the end of the tunnel. Just so long as it doesn't turn out to be another runaway freight train named Bo. Louisiana Tfch 0 0 0 0-0 S.

Bell guides Gators past Miami an Orange Bowl crowd of 80,227 was Florida's 10th straight and hiked its unbeaten streak to 11 games both tops in the country after Brigham Young lost to UCLA Saturday night. The triumph also avenged the Gators' only loss of last season, and improved Coach Galen Halls record to 9-0 since taking over for Charley Pell during the latter stages of a NCAA investigation that cost the school the 1984 Southeastern Conference hampionship.

"Obviously, we are extremely pleased with the outcome of the football game and to get a win over a great football team like Miami," Hall said. "We still have some things to improve on. We were sloppy but it is nothing that can't be corrected." The setback left Miami Coach Jimmy Johnson disappointed, yet encouraged about his team's outlook for 1985. "Inexperienced teams make By FRED GOOD ALL AP Sports Writer MIAMI (AP) Fifth-ranked I Florida, which used a powerful ground attack to pulverize opponents I a year ago, took to the air Saturday night to whip intrastate rival Miami 35-23 and extend its college football I winning streak to 10 games now the longest in the nation. "I like to rise to the challenge and be the man with the ball," Gators quarterback Kerwin Bell said after throwing for 248 yards and four touchdowns.

"It's great to get the passing game clicking. With great receivers like ours, it makes my job a lot easier." Bell's performance included fourth-quarter scoring strikes of 16 yards to Ricky Nattiel and 8 yards to Frankie Neal that enabled the Gators to hold off a Miami team that had overcome a 13 -point halftime deficit to take a 21-20 lead.
