Michigan plasters South Carolina The Salina Journal Sunday, September 22, 1985 Page 26 Big Eight football By The Associated Press Michigan, which has always produced top- class offensive linemen, is doing it again. And it's using them to make the pundits who downgraded the Wolverines' prospects look silly. For the second week in a row, the 19th-ranked Wolverines did not give up a touchdown while the offense ground out 507 College football yards, 324 on the ground, as they trounced 15th- ranked South Carolina, 34-3. It was the Wolverines' second straight victory over a Top Twenty opponent as they continued to rebound from a 6-6 record in 1984. Quarterback Jim Harbaugh capped a time- consuming 76-yard Michigan drive by scoring on a 5-yard run late in the first period and pitched out to tailback Jamie Morris for a 4-yard touchdown run that gave the Wolverines a 14-0 lead with 2:11 remaining in the first half.

South Carolina never got closer than 14-3. "Our offensive line opened up some big holes today," said Harbaugh, who rushed for 45 yards on seven carries and completed 12 of 22 passes for 164 yards. "Our offensive line is probably the most underrated in the country." On the other hand, South Carolina Coach Joe Morrison said he was disappointed the Gamecocks' offensive line. "Coming into the game, I didn't think we would be able to score a lot of points, but I thought we would be able to control the football and move the chains." In other games involving Top 20 teams, it was No. 4 Iowa 48, Northern Illinois 20; No.

6 Florida State 19, Memphis State 10; No. 7 Ohio State 36, Colorado 13; No. 10 Penn State 17, East Carolina 10, and No. 16 Alabama 45, Cincinnati 10. In other games, Georgia beat Clemson 20-13, and Army beat Rutgers, which a week ago shocked Florida in a 28-28 tie.

Both top-ranked Auburn and No. 2 Oklahoma were idle along with No. 5 SMU, No. 8 Oklahoma State and No. 11 Florida.

IOWA 48, NORTHERN ILLINOIS 20 At Iowa City, Chuck Long threw five touchdowns in a record-setting aerial attack as the No. 4 Hawk- eyes defeated Northern Illinois. Three of the scores went to wide receiver Bill Happel, who broke an Iowa record for receiving yardage in a single game when he caught Long's final scoring pass of the afternoon to give the Hawkeyes a 38-13 lead with less than four minutes to go in the third quarter. The 13-yard reception gave the 5-foot, 11-inch, 186-pound senior from Cedar Rapids 194 yards, two more than the old record of 192 yards set by Dave Moritz in 1983. Happel finished the afternoon with nine receptions for 207 yards.

PENN STATE 17, EAST CAROLINA 10 At State College, John Shaffer passed for one touchdown and third-string tailback Kevin Woods ran for another, then lOth-ranked Penn State survived a third-quarter scare to beat East Carolina. It was the third victory of the season for the unbeaten Nittany Lions and the first loss after two triumphs for East Carolina. FLORIDA STATE 19, MEMPHIS STATE 10 At Tallahassee, Kirk Coker threw a 13- yard touchdown pass to Darrin Holloman and Derek Schmidt kicked four field goals as sixth- ranked Florida State bounced back from a lethargic start to beat Memphis State. Coker replaced injured Florida State quarterback Danny McManus in the final minute of the first half, and his TD flip to Holloman gave the Seminoles a 13-10 lead with 3:05 left in the third quarter. ALABAMA 45, CINCINNATI 10 Mike Shula threw for two touchdowns and set up another with a 56-yard completion as 16th-ranked Alabama scored touchdowns on its first five possessions to romp over Cincinnati.

The junior quarterback, who completed his first six passes and was 9-of-12 for 156 yards, set up the Crimson Tide's first score with a 56-yard toss to Greg Richardson to put the ball at the one. He later connected with Thornton Chandler Michigan quarterback Jim Harbaugh eludes South Carolina's Joe Brooks on a touchdown run. on a 13-yard scoring pass and with Bobby Humphrey on a 17-yard TD. It was the third straight win for Alabama and the first loss in four games for Cincinnati, which lost quarterback Danny McCoin with an ankle injury late in the first half after he had completed 14 passes in 18 attempts for 158 yards. GEORGIA 20, CLEMSON 13 At Clemson, S.C., Georgia defensive back John Little intercepted two Randy Anderson passes in the fourth quarter as the.Bulldogs came from behind to win.

Little intercepted the Tiger quarterback with about eight minutes left in the game at the Clemson 47. The turnover came just 30 seconds after Georgia had taken the lead for the first time at 17-13 on a fumble recovery in the end zone by Bulldog center Peter Anderson. But Little's critical steal came with less than a minute left when Anderson threw a desperation bomb from the Georgia 36-yard line intended for receiver Shelton Boyer in the end zone. ARMY 20, RUTGERS 16 At West Point, N.Y., halfback William Lampley ran 10 yards for a third-quarter touchdown that provided the margin of victory for Army. Lampley's touchdown capped a 15-play, 60- yard drive, and halfback Clarence Jones ran in for a two-point conversion that made it 20-13 late in the third period.

Tom Angstadt kicked a 26-yard field goal for Rutgers early in the fourth quarter, and the Scarlet Knights moved to the Army 20 in the final minutes of the game. But on fourth-and-15 from the 26, quarterback Joe Gagliardi was sacked by Tom Malloy and Mike Lover for a 10- yard loss. AIR FORCE 59, RICE 17 At the Air Force Academy, quarterback Bart Weiss ran for 172 yards and three touchdowns and the Air Force special teams contributed to two other scores as the Falcons pummeled Rice. Air Force, 3-0, broke open a tight game with a 24-point second-quarter explosion to hand Rice, 0-2, its llth straight defeat, extending the longest losing string in the nation among Division I-A schools. MARYLAND 28, WEST VIRGINIA 0 At College Park, Stan Gelbaugh passed for 263 yards and two touchdowns and Tommy Neal scored twice while rushing for 90 yards as 17th- ranked Maryland thrashed West Virginia 28-0 Saturday night.

The victory ended Maryland's five-game home losing streak to the Mountaineers, who were dealt their first shutout in 32 games. Both teams 2-1 records. Gelbaugh, limited to 214 passing yards in his first two games, had 114 in an explosive first quarter before a Byrd Stadium sellout crowd of 51,250. GRAMBLING 45, N.C. CENTRAL 14 At New York, senior quarterback Terrell Landry threw four touchdown passes and ran for another score Saturday night as Grambling gave Coach Eddie Robinson his 322nd career victory with a 45-14 rout of North Carolina Central in the 15th annual Whitney M.

Young Jr. Football Classic at Yankee Stadium. Robinson moved within one victory of the all- time career record of 323 held by the late Paul "Bear" Bryant. LSU 17, COLORADO STATE 3 At Baton Rouge, Dalton Hilliard's 151 yards rushing and a gutty defense that intercepted two passes, blocked a field goal and made a goal-line stand led ninth-ranked Louisiana State. Hilliard's yardage in 25 carries included a one- yard touchdown run in the third quarter that put LSU ahead 14-0.

Garey James, who ran 96 yards in 14 carries, scored LSU's first touchdown with a 28-yard run in the second quarter. The Tigers capped their scoring with a 29-yard field goal by Ron Lewis, who also kicked two extra points but failed on two other field goal efforts. NOTRE DAME 27, MICHIGAN STATE 10 At South Bend, sophomore flanker Tim Brown returned the second half kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown and grabbed a 49-yard pass to set up Allen Pinkett's 2-yard touchdown Saturday night, leading Notre Dame to a 27-10 victory over Michigan State. Brown's kickoff return broke a 7-7 tie and after Chris Caudell had booted a 21-yard field goal for Michigan State, Steve Beuerlein hit Brown with the 49-yard pass to set up the clinching touchdown early in the fourth quarter. Both teams are 1-1.

ARKANSAS 24, TULSA 0 At Little Rock, sophomore quarterback Greg Thomas threw the first touchdown of his college career and shifty Bobby Joe Edmonds set up two scores with long punt returns as 14th-ranked Arkansas defeated Tulsa. Thomas, who completed only three of 10 passes in his first start last week, hooked up with Donnie Centers on a 16-yard pass that put Arkansas on top 7-0 less than six minutes into the game. The TD, which came when Thomas rolled left and then threw across the field to Centers in the right corner of the end zone, came five plays after Edmonds broke a 34-yard punt return to the Tulsa 31. Last season, Thomas was a backup and never attempted a pass. Edmonds ripped off a 39-yard return to the Tulsa 15 and James Rouse's 1-yard run five plays later made it 24-0 at halftime.

THhiskers crush Dlini, 52-25 Baylor shocks USC LOS ANGELES (AP) Tom Muecke ran for one touchdown and threw for another Saturday night, then unranked Baylor made a goal-line stand to hold on and upset third-ranked Southern Cal, 20-13. The Bears, who took the lead for keeps in the second quarter, stopped the Trojans after they moved to the Baylor 6-yard line with 3:16 remaining.

Max and Buddy Baer also fought for the heavyweight title, but Buddy never won it. Spinks, to some ringsiders, seemed to waste too much time in several rounds, but his fighting in flurries and his ability to keep Holmes from ever trapping him impressed the three judges. "Michael landed more punches," said Lederman, who favored Spinks 143-142. "Larry never double jabbed, he threw very few combinations." "Spinks threw more punches, he threw more effective punches," said Moretti, who also favored the new champion 143-142. Judge Larry Wallace, who favored Spinks 145-142, declined to comment.

(AP) Doug DuBose ran for 191 yards and three touchdowns and the Nebraska defense picked off four passes as the 18th-ranked Cornhuskers scored twice in the first five minutes and went on to rout 20th-ranked Illinois, 52-25, Saturday in college football. The first Nebraska score came just 2:48 into the game as DuBose went over from a yard out to make it 7-0. The second came two minutes later, when Chris Carr picked off a Jack Trudeau pass and returned it 56 yards for a touchdown.

Craig Schniztler made it 17-0 with a 35-yard field goal early in the second quarter. But Chris White's 42-yard field goal and a 5-yard pass from Trudeau to Cap Boso trimmed the Cornhusker lead to 17-10 before DuBose scored on another 1-yard run 28 seconds before halftime. The field goal by White, son of II- lini Coach Mike White, was the 41st of his career, a school record. DuBose added his third touchdown on Nebraska's first possession of the second half when he raced 49 yards for a score. Wingback Von Sheppard added a third-quarter score for Nebraska on a 12-yard reverse and Robb Schnitzler caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Travis Turner.

Texas staves off Mizzou AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Quarterback Bret Stafford was a surprise starter at quarterback for the Texas Longhorns Saturday night and scored on a weaving 36-yard run as Texas edged Missouri, 21-17, in an intersectional football game.

Texas led 21-7 early in the third quarter when safety John Hagy fumbled a Missouri punt for a 53- yard Tiger gain that almost turned the game around. Four plays after the fumble, which was recovered by Tony Facinelli at the Texas 31, Missouri quarterback Warren Seitz scrambled 16 yards up the middle for a Missouri touchdown. Texas' offense, which also lost a fumble at midfield, couldn't move after the fumbled punt, and Missouri got a 53-yard field goal from Tom Whelihan with 5:19 left in the game. The Longhorns took the following kickoff and used up the rest of the time to clinch a victory in their season-opener. MISSOURI VS.

Cyclones upend Vandy At Ames, Iowa State's football team turned the tables on Vanderbilt and pulled out a 20-17 victory over the Commodores on Saturday. Two years ago, Vanderbilt marched 88 yards in six plays late in the game to get the winning touchdown in defeating Iowa State, 29-26. On Saturday, Iowa State came up with the late heroics, with junior college transfer Rick Frank kicking a 34-yard field goal with three seconds left to give the Cyclones the victory.

"I think maybe the most important thing that needs to be said about our football team is that they did what they had to do and came away with another Iowa State Coach Jim Criner said. Iowa State drove from its own 17 to the Vanderbilt 17 its only sustained march of the game to get Frank's decisive field goal. "It wasn't a pretty game offensively," Criner said. "We made an awful lot of mistakes. We've got an awful lot of work to do, but defensively and on specialty teams we played outstandingly well."
