20-Th. bxtaK-Journal, Grxnwood. Octobar 21, 1990 Octobf 21, 1990 Alabama upsets Vols; Michigan, Sooners lose Saturday's college scores Cav avoid No. 1 jinx; Irish top Miami Conference). The Tar Heels (4-2-1, 1-1-1) twice stopped the Yellow Jackets inside the 10-yard Line in the fourth quarter, and it was the second time that forced Sisson's kick.

The tie leaves only five Division I-A teams unbeaten and untied, including ACC rival and top-ranked Virginia. Houston also had a nine-game winning streak. Four turnovers were Georgia Tech's undoing, the biggest coming when Willie Clay fumbled Scott McAllister's punt and Reggie Clark recovered for North Carolina at the Yellow Jacket 6. Two plays later, Natrone Means scored on a 5-yard run with 13:18 left and the Tar Heels led 13-10. It was the second touchdown Georgia Tech's defense has allowed in the last 24 quarters.

Georgia Tech took over at its 14 and embarked on a 16-play drive that cut almost eight minutes off the clock. But while it was the Yellow Jacket defense that was ranked eighth-best in the nation, it was North Carolina's defense which stopped Georgia Tech four times from the 4-yard line. The Tar Heels failed to move again North Carolina picked up only 151 yards offense all day and Georgia Tech took its next shot at a touchdown. A 38-yard pass play from Shawn Jones to Tom Covington took Georgia Tech to the North Carolina 8. The Tar Heel defense gave up a 3-yard run to Jeff Wright, tackled Jones for a 3-yard loss and then forced a 2-yard loss on a pass play to set up Sisson's tying kick.

No. 13 16 STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -Quarterback Mark Brunell accounted for three touchdowns and Greg Lewis ran for two more as 13th-ranked Washington crushed Stanford 52-16 on Saturday to stay unbeaten in the Pac-10. Washington (6-1, 4-0) methodically moved to a 31-0 halftime advantage and easily maintained control over Stanford (2-5, 1-3) throughout the second half. Brunell completed nine of 16 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another.

Lewis ran 19 times for 108 yards and scored twice. He has gained at least 100 yards in each game this season and has 920 for the year. No. 14 Colorado ...41 Kansas 10 LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) -Eric Bieniemy rushed for 174 yards and scored three touchdowns, becoming Colorado's career scoring leader and pacing the 14th-ranked Buffaloes to a 41-10 rout of Kansas on Saturday.

Bieniemy, the nation's No. 2 rusher, scored on a 31-yard run in the first quarter and had two scoring bursts in the third a darting, weaving 41-yarder that made it 27-10 and a 10-yard run that put the Buffs on top 34-10. Colorado (6-1-1 overall, 3-0 Big Eight) also got a 90-yard touchdown punt return from Dave McCloughan in winning its 11th consecutive conference game. Kansas (1-5-1, 0-2-1), playing at home for the first time since Sept. 8, scored off a Colorado fumble and pulled to within 17-10 with 2: 47 left in the first half.

But Jim Harper's 42-yard field goal made it 20-10 at halftime, and Bieniemy led the 21-point salvo in the third period to put the game out of reach. OVTH Alabama t. Tennessee 6 Albany. Ga. 36.

4 31 Oklahoma State 3 LINCOLN, Neb. AP) A pair of kick returns by Tyrone Hughes and a recovery of a fumbled kick-off by Robert Hicks for a touchdown sparked fourth-ranked Nebraska to a 31-3 Big Eight victory over Oklahoma State on Saturday. Quarterback Mickey Joseph also ran for one touchdown and passed for one as Nebraska (7-0 overall, 3-0 Big Eight) dropped Oklahoma State to 2-5 and 0-3. After Oklahoma State's Cary Blanchard kicked a 35-yard field goal with 10:59 to go in the third quarter. Hughes returned the kickoff 40 yards to the Oklahoma State 45.

Four plays later, Gregg Barrios kicked a 31-yard field goal for Nebraska. Hughes, who has helped Nebraska lead the nation in kick returns, returned a Blanchard punt 19 yards to the Cowboy 39 about two minutes later and Joseph broke loose on the first play to score. No. 8 Illinois 15 No. 24 Michigan 13 CHAMPAIGN, 111.

(AP) -Doug Higgins' fifth field goal of the game, a 48-yarder with 42 seconds to play, lifted eighth-ranked Illinois to a 15-13 Big Ten victory over No. 24 Michigan State on Saturday. A 26-yard pass from Jason Ver-duzco to Steven Mueller helped set up the winning kick 59 seconds after John Langeloh gave Michigan State a 13-12 lead with a 35-yard field goal. Higgins opened the game with a career-long 55-yard field goal and also converted on kicks of 28, 36 and 27 yards. The victory enabled Illinois (5-1, 3-0) to retain its share of first place in the Big Ten race with Iowa and Minnesota.

Michigan State fell to 2-3-1 and 1-2, and with the loss went the Spartans' Rose Bowl hopes. Illinois held a 9-3 lead before Michigan State drove 84 yards in 12 plays for a touchdown, with Dan Enos bootlegging the final yard for the score and a 10-9 lead. Illinois came back in the fourth period and regained the lead on Higgins' 27-yard field goal with 7: 27 left. No. 9 Houston 44 Southern Methodist 1 7 DALLAS (AP) David Klingler passed for 461 yards and five touchdowns, three to Manny Hazard, as ninth-ranked Houston breezed to a 44-17 victory over Southern Methodist on Saturday.

The Cougars improved to 6-0 overall and 5-0 in the Southwest Conference. SMU is 1-4 and 0-3. Klingler, the nation's total offense leader, broke NCAA records with his 76 attempts and 48 completions. The old records were 45 completions in 1982 by North-western's Sandy Schwab against Michigan and 73 attempts in 1989 by North Carolina State's Shane Montgomery against Duke. Klingler threw touchdown passes of 17 and eight yards to John Brown in a 20-point first quarter, then hit Hazard on TD passes of nine and seven yards in the second quarter and three yards early in the fourth.

Roman Anderson added field goals of 27, 22 and 35 yards. Last year, Houston was criticized for running up the score in a 95-21 rout of an SMU team made up almost entirely of freshmen. On Saturday, it was apparent early that a rerun was in the making. Klingler completed 17 of 29 passes for 184 yards, two touchdowns and a 20-0 lead in the first quarter alone. No.

(AP) -Matt Rodgers. who passed for one touchdown and ran for another, led a brilliant drive to the winning touchdown in the closing minutes Saturday as the No. 22 Hawkeyes defeated No. 10 Michigan 24-23 to remain unbeaten in the Big Ten: It was the first win at Michigan Stadium since 1981 for Iowa (5-1 overall. 3-0 Big Ten).

It marked the first time since 1967 that Michigan t.3-3. 1-2) had either lost a homecoming game or been beaten in consecutive games at home. The Wolverines, then ranked No. 1. lost 28-27 to Michigan State last week.

The Iowa defense, which leads the conference with 20 takeaways, recovered a fumble, intercepted a pass and held Michigan to just three first downs in the second half. Trailing 23-17 with 4:22 remaining, the Hawkeyes marched 85 yards in nine plays for Paul Ku-jawa's 1-yard touchdown. The extra-point kick by Jeff Skillett provided the margin of victory. Rodgers, who completed 27 of 37 passes for 276 yards, completed five of six for 67 yards in the drive to the winning touchdown. It marked the second straight week the Wolverines had been hurt by a failed two-point conversion attempt.

They failed in the final seconds against Michigan State when a pass interference penalty wasn't called. This time they failed on a run following a blocked punt in the third quarter. Arizona 35 No. 15 Southern 26 LOS ANGELES (AP) Quarterback Ronald Veal came off the bench to score three touchdowns in the second half, rallying Arizona to a 35-26 victory over No. 15 Southern Cal in the Pacific 10 Conference on Saturday.

The Wildcats (5-2 overall, 3-2 Pac-10) defeated USC (5-2, 2-2) for the first time in seven meetings. Arizona used a "fumblerooski" play early in the fourth quarter to build a 28-17 lead and put the Trojans away for good. With the ball on the Trojans 31, left guard Richard Warren picked up Veal's fake fumble and ran 28 yards to set up the score.

(AP) Is there pressure being the nation's top-ranked college football team? You bet, according to the new kid on the block, Virginia coach George Welsh. "We're only human, we can't be the 49ers every week," Welsh said Saturday after the Cavaliers struggled early before pounding Wake Forest 49-14 in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

"All this media attention is very new to us," Welsh said, his Cavaliers being voted the nation's top team for the first time in school history this week. "I don't know if we were focused or not today, but we got 49 points, so I guess we were." Virginia was trying to avoid becoming the fourth No. I team to fall this season. Miami, Notre Dame and Michigan have all lost hold on the top ranking. "The pressure, yeah, there was a lot, especially in the first quarter," wide receiver Herman Moore said.

"A lot of people were a little skeptical about us being No. 1. But we weren't in a state of panic or anything like that when we fell behind." "I was not going to scream today," Welsh said about his half-time speech to his players. "I'm getting too old for that." Jake Mclnerney kicked four field goals before quarterback Shawn Moore got Virginia's high-powered offense in gear to extend the nation's longest regular-season winning streak to 13. The senior place-kicker connected on kicks of 45, 28 and 26 yards to give Virginia (7-0 overall, 4-0 ACC) a 9-0 lead with 12:14 left in the half.

Moore then passed for two scores late in the half to give Virginia a safe 28-14 lead. The Demon Deacons (2-5, 0-4), four-touchdown underdogs, shocked the crowd midway through the second quarter by scoring two touchdowns in 46 seconds to lead 14-9. Phil Barnhill tossed a 60-yard scoring pass to Darrell France for the first touchdown. A Shawn Moore pitch was fumbled by Terry Kirby on the next play from scrimmage and recovered by Aubrey Hollifield at the Virginia 13. Tony Rogers ran around left end untouched on a 7-yard run two plays later and Virginia appeared primed for an upset.

Mclnerney's fourth field goal narrowed the gap to 14-12 before the Cavaliers closed the period by scoring on the next two possessions. Shawn Moore hooked up with favorite target, a wide-open Herman Moore, on a 49-yard TD pass with 2:27 left before half-time, giving the Cavaliers the lead for good. After Virginia's nationally fifth-ranked defense held Wake Forest deep in its own territory, Moore engineered another scoring drive to close the half. A pair of 20-yard passes over the middle to Kirby capped the drive, the latter for a touchdown with 30 seconds left. Shawn Moore, the nation's leader in passing efficiency, completed 15 of 25 first-half passes for 211 yards.

2 Miami 20 SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Craig Hentrich kicked a school-record five field goals and Raghib "Rocket" Ismail scored on a 94-yard kickoff return as sixth-ranked Notre Dame beat No. 2 Miami 29-20 Saturday in the last scheduled game between the bitter rivals. The loss virtually eliminated defending champion Miami (4-2) from the national title race. Notre Dame (5-1), which still must play Tennessee and Southern Cal on the road, strengthened its bid for a national championship by beating Miami for only the second time in seven years.

Unlike the past two years, when the teams got involved in pregame skirmishes, all the battling took place after the kickoff. Trailing 17-16 at halftime, Notre Dame took a 22-17 lead on a pair of field goals by Hentrich in the third quarter. Miami cut it to 22-20 on Carlos Huerta's 25-yard field goal early in the fourth period, but Notre Dame got some breathing room when Rick Mirer threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Rodney Culver with 6:16 left.

Tech settles for tie Miami drove to the Notre Dame 25 on its next possession, but Leonard Conley fumbled on the next play after running 23 yards and Notre Dame's Michael Stone-breaker recovered the ball on his own 2.

Hentrich kicked three field goals in the first half, from 25, 44 and 34 yards, and added a 36-yarder and a 35-yarder in the third quarter. His five field goals broke the Notre Dame record of four shared by four kickers, mostly recently Reggie Ho against Michigan in 1988. Ismail accounted for career-high 268 all-purpose yards. The junior speedster rushed 13 times for 100 yards, caught one pass for 24 and returned three kickoffs for 144. His 94-yard score, which tied the game at 10 in the first quarter, gave him five kickoff return touchdowns in his career, one short of the NCAA record set by Southern Cal's Anthony Davis from 1970-72.

Ismail and Hentrich helped Notre Dame overcome a 355-yard passing performance by Miami quarterback Craig Erickson, who was 20-for-36 and also scored on a 1-yard sneak. Notre Dame shredded Miami's second-ranked rushing defense with 276 yards on the ground, nearly five times more than the Hurricanes were allowing per game. Culver gained 72 yards on 21 carries and Tony Brooks added 53 on 11 rushes. It was the 23rd and last scheduled game in the series, which dates back to 1955. Notre Dame decided not to continue the series, which it leads 15-7-1, because the rivalry had gotten too heated.

The feeling between the schools was symbolized by the "Catholics vs. Convicts" T-shirts that were selling like hotcakes before the game. But unlike the past two years, there was no fighting or taunting before the kickoff. A minute-by-minute schedule worked out by the coaches kept the teams apart during warmups and prevented a confrontation in the tunnel that leads to both locker rooms. About a dozen Miami players were late running onto the field before the kickoff and had to go past the Notre Dame team waiting in the tunnel, but there was no physical contact between the opposing players.

Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz stood between the sides to discourage any confrontation. Miami.

Culver 2 28, Ismail 1 24 Alabama 9 No. 3 Tennessee 6 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Philip Doyle kicked his third field goal of the game, a 48-yarder as time expired, to lift Alabama to a 9 6 defeat of No. 3 Tennessee on Saturday in a Southeastern Conference defensive struggle. Doyle's kick was set up when Stacy Harrison blocked a 50-yard field goal attempt by Tennessee's Greg Burke with 1:35 to play.

Burke, whose 51-yarder had tied it with 10 minutes to play, saw his potential game-winner carom off Harrison's chest and bounce downfield. Alabama took over at the Tennessee 37 and gained seven yards in three plays before allowing the clock to run down to four seconds. Doyle had field goals of 30 and 26 yards while Burke had a 20-yarder in the first quarter before his career-best 51-yarder five 'V- Florida outlasts C. State, 37-17 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -Reserve halfback Chuck Duffey raced 92 yards with a pass on a Florida fake punt in the fourth quarter to help boost the Rattlers to a 37-17 victory Saturday.

The Rattlers were leading 23-10 facing a fourth-and-16 from their 8-yard line when junior Craig Hall went back to punt. He instead tossed a pass to Duffey. The victory gives Florida (4-3, 3-0) first place in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, as Howard University was defeated 33-12 by North Carolina in Washington, D.C. The Bulldogs 2-2 in the 1 4a.
