1 1 Sunday, Nov. 15, 1981 Santa Cruz Sentinel 61 Nebraska Rally Smashes Iowa By The Associated Press LINCOLN. Neb. Ignited by Irving Fryar's 63-yard punt return, Nebraska exploded for 24 fourth-quarter points to roll over Iowa State 31-7 Saturday, winning a trip to the Orange Bowl as Oklahoma was knocked out of the Big Eight Conference football title chase. Only Oklahoma and Nebraska had a shot at the crown and the opportunity to represent the Big Eight in the New Year's Day bowl game when play began Saturday.

And as in years past, many predicted the question would be decided in next week's Nebraska-Oklahoma showdown in Norman, Okla. vlumss No. 2 Clemson Downs Maryland By The Associated Press CLEMSON. C. Quarterback Homer Jordan threw three touchdown passes to lead undefeated, second-ranked Clemson to a 21-7 victory over Maryland for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship Saturday.

Jordan completed 20 of 29 passes for 270 yards and was the Tigers' leading rusher with 58 yards. Meanwhile, wide receiver Perry Tuttle continued his assault on Clemson's record books by catching 10 passes for 151 yards and two TDs. Tuttle, a senior who keeps adding to his school record for career reception yardage (now 2,432 yards), eclipsed another Jerry Butler standard for number of career receptions with 142. Butler's record was 139 catches. All of Clemson's scoring came in the first half, but it took Jordan nearly all of the first quarter before the Tigers scored.

He lofted the ball 14 yards over the head of the nearest defender into Tuttle's hands for the initial score. Then in the second quarter, Jordan threw a 5-yard scoring pass to Tuttle and followed that with a 12-yarder to Jerry Gaillard for Clemson's final tally. Maryland, which was hampered by a swarming Clemson defense most of the game, finally scored early in the fourth quarter after Jordan fumbled on his own 7-yard line. Defensive right tackle Gurnest Brown fell on the ball and tailback Charlie Wysocki carried the ball in on the next play. if But Missouri shocked Oklahoma 19-14 in Columbia, eliminating the Sooners.

Nebraska has a perfect 6-0 league record, while Oklahoma fell to 3-1-1. Stubborn Iowa State proved a tough stumbling block for three quarters as the Cyclones controlled the ball and shut down Nebraska's high-powered offense. The Comhuskers broke a 7-7 deadlock eight seconds into the fourth quarter when Eddie Neil booted a 49-yard field goal. Iowa State failed to move on its next possession and when Fryar took a punt in full stride and raced into the end zone 1:40 later Nebraska was off and running. Husker tackle Henry Waechter intercepted a John Quinn pass on the next series to give Nebraska the ball at the Iowa State 21.

Five plays later, quarterback Turner Gilt hit Husker wingback Anthony Steels for a 3-yard touchdown. On the second play following the kickoff. Iowa State fumbled and Nebraska's Curt Hineline recovered at the Iowa State 11. On the next play, Husker fullback Phil Bates carried in for the score. The only scoring after three quarters was by Iowa State's Dwayne Crutchfield on a 2-yard run and Nebraska's Mike Rozier from four yards out, both in the second quarter.

The victory, Georgia's seventh in a row since its only loss to Clemson earlier this season, probably gave the Bulldogs the inside track to a second consecutive Sugar Bowl appearance, where the Bulldogs claimed the 1980 national championship with a 17-10 victory over Notre Dame. Sixth-ranked Alabama can tie Georgia for the SEC title by beating Auburn on Nov.

28 Belue hurled both of his touchdown passes in the second quarter, a 46-yarder to Norris Brown who was alone behind the Auburn secondary to take the pass at the 13 and a 5-yarder to Clarence Kay. Walker, who scored on a 2-yard run in the third period, finished with 165 yards on 38 carries, lifting his season total to 1,667 and breaking his own school mark of 1,617 set in his freshman campaign last year.

Michigan 28, Purdue 10 WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. Quarterback Steve Smith passed 27 yards to Craig Dunaway for a first-quarter touchdown Saturday, then ran 26 yards for another touchdown as Uth-ranked Michigan scored three times in the fourth quarter to beat Purdue 28-10 in a Big Ten Conference football game. Purdue's Jeff Feulner, making his first collegiate start at tailback, had given the Boilermakers the lead with a 5-yard touchdown run midway through the third quarter. The Wolverines, taking over sole possession of first place in the Big Ten thanks to Wisconsin's 17-7 loss to Iowa, started their go-ahead drive from their own 24-yard line early in the final period. Two runs apiece by Smith and fullback Stan Edwards brought Michigan to midfield, and a costly pass interference penalty against Purdue gave the Wolverines first down at the Boilermakers' 29-yard line.

Two plays later, Smith rambled in for the score. Kicker Ali Haji-Sheikh, who missed a 39-yard field goal attempt on Michigan's previous possession, booted the extra-point kick for a 14-10 lead. The Wolverines, now 6-2 in the conference and 8-2 going into next week's regular-season windup against Ohio State, then moved 63 yards in 13 plays with Butch Woolfolk scoring from the 1-yard line. Michigan's final touchdown came usf over a minute later three plays after Keith Bostic intercepted a Purdue pass at the Boilermakers' 20-yard line. Lawrence Ricks ran five yards for the touchdown.

Darrell Shepard hit Steve Sewell SEE PAGE 67 from Mcllhenny to tight end Rickey Bolden. After a 40-yard Garcia field goal, speedster Bobby Leach bolted 24 yards for a touchdown on an end around. With the fumbling Raiders playing give-way, the Mustangs built a 24-0 halftime lead on Mcllhenny's 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Lee Jeane.

Tech's defense stiffened in the second half, holding the Mustangs to field goals of 52 and 23 yards by soccer-style kicker Garcia. The Red Raiders posted a third-quarter touchdown on sophomore Dale Brown's 1-yard run. It was the sophomore's first collegiate score. Texas 31, Texas Christian 15 AUSTIN, Texas Tenth-ranked Texas, which lost the heart of its defense when tackle Kenneth Sims was injured, responded with pass interceptions by Bobby Johnson and Mossy Cade and a fumble recovery by William Graham in the end zone to whip Texas Christian 31-15 Saturday. Sims, a 270-pound ail-American, suffered a broken leg and torn ligaments in his right ankle late in the first quarter, ending his college career.

Texas led 7-0 on a 29-yard scamper by A.J. "Jam" Jones when Sims got hurt, and Texas Christian closed the margin to 7-6 on field goals by Greg Porter of 25 and 24 yards.

But Arkansas freshman quarterback Brad Taylor guided the Hogs on a penalty-marred 91-yard drive to turn the game around. Taylor hit two key passes of 17 yards each to wide receiver Mark Mistier to keep the drive going. Mistler's second reception came as the Hogs faced a third and 12 at the 38 yard line.
