Stewart fumbled on Miami's sec-" ond play from scrimmage and Florida State recovered at its 47.

The i Seminoles drove to the Miami 12, but Pearson halted the drive by the game away. Florida State beat Miami last year, 28-10, in Tallahassee and went on to win its first national title. The Seminoles' hopes of repeating were, however, dealt a serious blow by the Hurricanes, who have handed Florida State seven of its 13 losses since midway through the 1986 season. Miami quarterback Frank Costa, who was benched after last year's loss to Florida State, was 18-of-32 for 177 yards with two interceptions. Kanell, who had been 5-0 as a starter, was 13-of-28 for 153 yards.

Stewart carried 16 times tor 95 of Miami's demise after the Hurricanes had their record 58-game home winning streak snapped by Washington two weeks ago. Their eighth victory over Florida State (4-1) in 10 years, however, showed they are still a top team and kept alive their hopes of a fifth national championship, all since 1983. Three interceptions off Florida State quarterback Danny Kanell were a key for the Hurricanes (4-1). The first, by Malcolm Pearson in the Miami end zone, halted an early scoring threat by the Seminoles. The second, a momentum shifter by C.J.

Richardson, came two plays after a botched Miami punt and set up Stewart's first TD run. The third, returned all the way by Jones, broke the game open, giving Miami a 31-17 lead late in the third quarter. Florida State Coach Bobby Bow-den yanked Kanell after that play and sent in Jon Stark, but he couldn't rally the Seminoles. Scott Bentley's 34-yard field goal with 12:14 left made it 31-20 and Florida State quickly got the ball back on an interception by Derrick Brooks, but Stark fumbled two plays later and Miami recovered to put By Rick Warner Associated Press MIAMI Hold those Miami obituaries. As Florida State learned last night, the Hurricanes are very much alive, especially at the Orange Bowl.

James Stewart ran for two touchdowns, backup quarterback Ryan Collins threw a 1-yard TD pass on his only play and Carlos Jones scored on a 16-yard interception return as the I3th-ranked Hurricanes continued their mastery of No. 3 Florida State with a 34-20 victory.

The victory was Illinois' fourth in' a row at Ohio Stadium. Not since Illinois won its sixth in a row in Columbus in 1929 has a team won more than three consecutive times on Ohio State's home field. During a conference call Monday, Howard had guaranteed that the Illini would come to Ohio Stadium and win.

Howard did his part with 14 tackles, including two sacks, as the Illini held Ohio State 85 yards under its rushing average. The Illini, smarting from a 22-J6 loss at Purdue to open Big Ten play last week, put the game away on Johnson's 17-yard touchdown pass to Ken Dilger with 4:25 left. l. Illinois (3-2, 1-1) came into the game leading the nation in total defense allowing just 180 yards and 8 points a game. Ohio State, 4-2 and 1-1 in the Big Ten, piled up 363 yards but quarterback Bob Hoying threw three interceptions and the Illini always seemed to come up with a big play when they needed it most.

Michigan 40 Michigan State 20 ANN ARBOR, Mich. It was the kind of game an old lineman like Gerald R. Ford could love. With the 38th President looking on yesterday, Michigan used the relentless running of Tyrone 3Vheatley and Tshimanga Biakabu-tuka to grind out a 40-20 victory over Michigan State. The No.

7 Wolverines (4-1, 2-0) retired Ford's No. 48 jersey during halftime ceremonies. He played for Michigan 60 years ago. Michigan, which overcame an early 6-3 deficit, scored on seven straight possessions against the Spartans (2-3, 1-1). The Wolverines finished with 349 rushing yards while holding the Spartans to just 17 on the ground.

Terrell Fletcher carried 26 times for a Kaufman lifts Huskies By Steve Springer Los Angeles Times BOSTON Only 17 seconds remained in yesterday's Boston College-Notre Dame game at Alumni Stadium. But with the Eagles about to clinch a 30-11 victory, that was too long to wait to celebrate. Too long for those old enough to have thirsted for revenge for 50 years, remembering Notre Dame's last visit to this city, a 64-0 victory over Dartmouth at Fenway Park in 1944. Too long for those mad enough to have thirsted for respectability after last year's Boston College victory over Notre Dame was labeled by some a fluke. Too long for those loyal enough to have thirsted for victory in a game described by everybody from program vendors to area newspapers as The Holy War or the Catholic Super Bowl, matching the last two Catholic universities still playing Division 1-A football.

Whatever their reason, the Boston College faithful in a sellout crowd of 44,500 could wait no longer. They stormed the field, grabbing the goal posts, hugging their heroes and generally creating a scene reminiscent of some of the great victories downtown in Boston Garden by the Celtics or the Bruins. For Boston College Coach Den Henning, it was as big as a Super Bowl victory. Henning was an assistant coach on the two Super Bowl-winning Washington Redskin teams, but as he stood in that multitude on the field, he realized this was at least equally important to him. "That's because I'm the head coach," he told reporters after order had been restored and the final 17 seconds played out, "because we were underdogs and because we beat one of the mythological giants of college football." It wasn't merely that a 1-2 Big East team beat a 4-1, eighth-ranked national powerhouse, albeit one without four key offensive players.

It was the way the Eagles won. This wasn't a team squeaking by in the last second as was the case last season, when Boston College won, 41-39, on David Gordon's 41-yard field goal. This was a team that dominated from the second quarter on. This was a team that beat the Fighting Irish where they rarely lose on the lines. That wasn't all.

Henning ran a reverse. He ran a pass reverse. And, in the most crucial play of the game, he called for a fake field goal. Up to that point, Notre Dame was leading 3-0 on Stefan Schroffner's 27-yard field goal. At the start of the second quarter, Boston College drove to the Irish 16-yard line, where the Eagles faced a fourth and 6.

On came Gordon for an apparent 33-yard field goal. Instead, Henning went with a play he named "Leprachaun." Boston College holder Matt Has-selbeck took the snap, took a deep breath, stood up and there, before his eyes, was a hole on the left side of the line that looked as big as Boston Commons. Hasselbeck ran for 8 yards. The Eagles ran into the end zone on the next play, David Green accounting for the 8 yards. "We studied some film and thought that we had something," Henning said.

"It was not going to be run if they didn't give us the look that we wanted." But they did and Boston College never looked back, scoring 24 consecutive points. The Eagles were led by running back Justice Smith, who got an unexpected workload when Green reinjured an ankle in the second half, and responded with 147 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries. On defense, Mike Mamula had two of the Eagles' four sacks and applied pressure all afternoon. It was a miserable day for Notre Dame quarterback Ron Powlus, who tried to shake off the effects of a groin injury, but managed to complete only five of 21 passes for 50 yards. Said Notre Dame Coach Lou Holtz: "This was the most physical that we've been manhandled in a long, longtime.

It was the most yards rushing in a game by a Washington running back since 1950 when Hugh McEP henny ran for 296 yards against Washington State.

Kaufman scored on a 91-yard run on the Huskies' first offensive play of the day with only 49 seconds gone. He put the surprisingly close game out of reach with a 76-yard touchdown run with 6:07 remaining.
