Ram players said officials robbed them of two touchdowns in the first quarter. Those comments appeared to be supported by game films. Coach Chuck Knox and Owner Carroll Rosenbloom said Monday. Both viewed films of Sunday game and then said the Rams had indeed scored twice in the first period but officials allow the touchdowns Perhaps the most controversial call of the game came on a second down play from the four-yard-lme. Knox called for wide receiver Ron Jessie to sweep nght on a reverse, and Jessie appeared to cross the goal line However, officials marked the ball down at the six-inch line "The ball landed on the goal line when he landed.

said Knox after looking at the films On the next play, quarterback Pat Haden kept the ball on a quarterback sneak and also failed to score, despite the protests of the Ram players That set up fourth down, and Los Angeles attempted a field goal sad for players and coaches to work this hard and have a championship game decided bv said Rosenbloom "Everyone who has seen the game film believes Jessie and Haden both scored on the series prior to the blocked field goal On that fourth-down field goal try, Tom kick from the seven-yard-line was blocked by Nate Wnght. The ball bounced into the arms of Bobby Bryant, who ran it back 90 yards for the first score of the game Knox and Rosenbloom also said films showed that Ron Yary held Ram defensive end Jack Youngblood on a number of plays and that Wright face-guarded Jessie in the second quarter, but officials failed to call those infractions By JOHN SKINNER AP Sports Writer JACKSONVILLE, Fla Quarterback Rick Slager said Notre Dame was a double winner Monday night in beating Penn State 20-9 on the Gator Bowl.
