Ail new Long Beach coach Dave Currey was sure of going into the PCAA opener was that he had an edge from being able to scout the Titans and that his team would throw the ball. And throw they did. Jim Freitas won a battle of first: the margin to five in the fourth period, on a 40 yard dash by Graves to the eight, but the 49ers added insurance points in the final minute on a nine yard toss by Freitas to Tony Mad docks. Currey called it quote "the longest night in my life." i thought Fullerton had an excellent team and that both teams passed well. Freitas had an incredible performance.

The Friars got a key first down on the three yard line on a fourth and one situation, and O'Hara sneaked the ball over two plays later to make it 21 20. Servite then shunned the reliable right foot of Dan Baumann and a possible tie and went for a two point conversion. O'Hara dropped back to pass, but his primary receiver was covered. He pulled the bail back down but was immediately sacked by tackle David Sii. Buoyed by that key defensive play, the Falcons went 66 yards to score at the 3.01 mark of the final period.

The question, however, is not whether Fertig's squad, which won its season opener for the first time in 10 years last week by thumping Syracuse 24 12, is ready.

That was also the last time Southern Cal was shut out. Las Vegas oddsmakers have made Southern Cal a 24 point favorite over the upstart Beavers, but Trojan coach John Robinson is playing it cautious.
