Keeling missed the extra point. Oklahoma, which plays host in two weeks to 10th-ranked Southern Cal, drew first blood in the game when fullback Weldon Ledbetter roared up the middle for 4 yards and a touchdown.

Phelps' first journey into the end zone came on the Sooners' next possession and the score was WO. West Virginia got on the scoreboard for the first time with a 26-yard field goal from Paul Woodside with 6 :05 remaining in the second period. Hostetler, who hit on 17 of 37 passes, threw his first touchdown of the game when he lofted a beautiful strike over three defenders to hit tight end Mark Haugh. The Mountaineer defense held the Sooner wishbone to four downs on Oklahoma's next NORMAN, Okla. (AP) It was his first game in a West Virginia football jersey and Jeff Hostetler had a case of the jitters.

After. all, he was facing No. 9 Oklahoma. "Everybody was nervous starting out," Hostetler said after the Mountaineers upset the Sooners 41-27 Saturday. "We dropped passes, overthrew, assignments.

Then we calmed down and started to play." And play he did. Hostetler, a junior who transferred two seasons ago from Penn State, threw for four touchdowns and 321 yards for one of the biggest surprises of the young 1982 college football season. "For a guy who had never taken a snap for the University of West Virginia, and then to come out and do what he did today well, I just don't have the right words to describe it," said Mountaineer Coach Don Nehlen.

That drive ended with Woodside's 38-yard field goal, but West Virginia quickly got the ball back on an onside kick that was recovered by Brad Minetree.

On the first play from the Oklahoma 33, Hostetler reared back and hit wide receiver Darrell Miller at the end zone marker on the left sideline and suddenly the Mountaineers had a 20-14 lead with 10 seconds until halftime. The Oklahoma wishbone, which led the nation last season in rushing offense, ground up only 319 yards with just 131 coming in the second half. The game's leading rusher was Led better, with 83 yards. Teammate Stanley Wilson, who was the Sooners' top ground gainer a year ago, was held to just 78 yards. nd us rd he er ne rs If le 'id le d- ''t il- or Oklahoma, which defeated West Virginia 52-10 in their last meeting in the Sooners' 1978 opener, appeared to be breezing to an easy victory after scoring on its first two possessions and building a 14-0 lead.

However, the Mountaineer defense stiffened in the second quarter and Hostetler's aim improved to give West Virginia a 20-14 halftime edge. The Sooners, with perhaps one of its fastest wishbone backfields ever, regained the lead on their first third-quarter possession when quarterback Kelley Phelps scored his second touchdown of the game. Phelps' touchdown and the extra point by Michael Keeling gave Oklahoma a 21-20 edge. Hostetler, however, directed the Mountaineers to another touchdown on their next drive, building West Virginia's lead to 27-21. The Sooners tied the game with 312 minutes left in the third period when quarterback Darrell Songy blocked a West Virginia Sooner Coach Barry Switzer said he knew the Mountaineers had a good passing attack, but "I didn't expect them to complete the deep ones like they did." But that wasn't the only surprise for Switzer, the nation's winningest major college football coach, "We did something today that I never believed would happen in a ball game," Switzer said.

"I never thought we'd play a game and not fumble and lose the game." A junior from Hollopple, Bostleter threw his final touchdown pass the game-winner to wide receiver Wayne Brown midway in the final period. The final points came on a 43-yard draw play that sent tailback Cur lin Beck into the end zone with 2:14 remaining. Penn State rallies To Edge Maryland I AVAW I U. MEM. AVM, tir .7.:...:.

(AP) Penn State coach Joe Paterno gave credit to his second-team offensive line for his seventh-ranked Nittany Lions comeback 39-31 football victory over Maryland Saturday. It was the second victory of the season for Penn State, which opened last week by beating Temple, and the initial loss for Maryland in its opener under new coach Bobby Ross. Penn State quarterback Todd Black ledge threw four touchdown passes for the second straight week to trigger the Lions 100th home victory since Beaver Stadium opened in 1960. Penn State fell behind in third pe: nod br a point and then drove 78 yards in five plays to regain the lead for good. Paterno said it was in the winning drive that he had his second-team offensive line on the field.

"They made the plays when we needed them," Paterno said. The coach said his offense, which sputtered against Temple, played i well, but he expressed dissatisfaction with the didn't tackle well. The defense will have to regroup," he said. Ross said his Terrapins lost "because we turned the ball over too many times and you can't do that against a great team like Penn State." Ross and his assistants were assessed a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct on Penn State's final touchdown drive. "There's no doubt about it," said Ross.

"It cost I don't want to make a big deal over it. It's not what cost us the game." Ross and his aides had complained that Penn State had 12 men on the field on a Maryland punt. After Penn State fell behind 24-23 late in the third quarter, Blackledge led a drive of 78 yards that was capped with a 23-yard touchdown pass to split end Greg Garrity. The Nittany Lions tried a pass for a two-point conversion that was complete, but fell short of the goal. then directed the Nittany Lions 60 yards on five plays, throwing ten yards to flanker Kenny Jackson in the end zone to build a 36-24 lead in the final period.

Maryland had come from behind on 50 and 60-yard touchdown passes from quarterback Boomer Esiason to wide receiver Russell Davis to take a 24-23 lead. Maryland came back to score again in the fourth quarter on a 10- yard run by Willie Joyner that finished a 14-play, 80-yard drive and left the Terrapins trailing 36-31. 'i-'' I Pinch-hitter Dave Parker, appearing for the first time since suffering a thumb injury July 29, started the inning with a triple. Two outs later, Mike Easlers single scored Parker to cut Philadelphia's lead to 8- 7. Tony Pena then singled, setting the stage for Stargell's hit.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Bill Madlock's home run on the first pitch of the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Pittsburgh Pirates a 10-9 victory over the Philadelphia Phi Hies in a wild contest Saturday night. Mad lock slugged his 17th homer off Ron Reed, 4-5, the sixth Philadelphia pitcher.

Tekulve entered the game with men on first and second and one out in the ninth, and after getting Garry Maddox on a groundout, surrendered an RBI single to Mahny Trill that tied the score. Stargell's pinch two-run double had given the Pirates back the lead after they blew a 6-0 advantage.
