Houghtlin's deciding kick kept Iowa unbeaten at 6-0.

Michigan fell to 5-1. It was a game of many ups and downs for each team, as the lead changed hands three times. Midway through the final quarter, Iowa quarterback Chuck Long had passed for more than 268 yards, but he was unable to reach the end zone. Michigan kept pressure on him in a variety of ways, even blitzing with safety Ivan Hicks for a 10-yard sack. Long, however, was resilient.

He completed passes of 14 and nine yards to set up Houghtlin's third field goal and a 9-7 Iowa edge with 14:20 to play. On U-M's next possession, quarterback Jim Harbaugh and U-M's running put the Wolverines back on top. Jamie Morris cracked a run 23 yards to the Iowa 17, but again the Wolverines had difficulty hearing the snap count. This time, officials called illegal procedure to coach Bo Schembechler's anger. Placekicker Mike Gillette scurried on to boost U-M ahead, 10-9, with 10:55 remaining.

After the Irish took a 14-0 lead, Army, aided by a roughing-the-punter penalty, marched from its 1 1 line to the Irish 8 for a first-and-goal. Two running plays put Army at the 2, but Crawford was stopped for no gain. Lampley's halfback option pass was caught by Rob Dickerson, but the officials ruled he had stepped out of the end zone. Notre Dame punted after the exchange and the Cadets scored quickly. Crawford hit Benny White with a 37-yard pass, and Lampley took an option pitch and ran right end.

He has 825 career completions, most ever in the NCAA. He has passed for more than 200 yards in 29 straight games, tying John Elway's record. But McClure did not have a picnic against the CMU defense, which was ranked No. 1 in the nation against the pass. "OUR DEFENSE played very well," said CMU coach Herb Deromedi.

"They (Bowling Green) are the type of team that stretches you to the end. They made some good receptions and some fortunate ones. When things are motion penalty wiped out the play. CMU settled for Brian Tierny 's 23-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead. On its next possession, Bowling Green drove to the CMU 1 5 where Paul Silvi tied the score with a 33-yard field goal, 3-3.

White got the Bowling Green offense going midway through the second half when he ripped off a 42-yard run to the CMU 47. He finished the drive with a 1 7-yard touchdown run on which he spun out of three tackles.

Bowling Green was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty on an incomplete pass, and then CMU quarterback Ron Fillmore passed 28 yards to Tony Brown, who fell out of bounds at the Bowling Green 5.

CMU got to the 1 but Brown was stopped on third down. On fourth down, Fillmore took the ball into the end zone on a keeper but a five-yard Iowa's Ronnie Harmon (No. Bowling By MICK McCABE Free Press Sports Writer 'BOWLING GREEN Sure, Bowling Green has quarterback Brian Mc-Clure, who has completed more passes than anyone who has ever played NCAA Division I football. Sure, Bowling Green has tailback Bernard White, a rusher last season and one of the best backs in the Mid-American Conference. And sure, Bowling Green has one of the most experienced defenses in the MAC.

But Central Michigan walked off the rain-soaked field after Saturday's 23-18 loss to Bowling Green thinking MSU plays Til very little separated them from the probable league champs. "Hey, they're hard to beat," Bowling Green coach Denny Stolz said. "They're well-coached, they're well-prepared. Nothing ever changes. They're going to have a great season." CMU's season took a turn for the worse when the Falcons intercepted four second-half passes and the Chip-pewas struggled to put the ball in the end zone.

The loss dropped CMU to 3-1 in in the MAC and 5-1 overall. Bowling Green stayed in first place with a 5-0 record, 7-0 overall.

After handing Michigan four touchdowns with their mistakes last week, the Spartans had a worthy follow-up Saturday. MSU boo-boos helped Illinois to 24 points, and the Spartans scored a come-from-ahead loss, 30-17, before 76,438 disgruntled homecoming fans at Spartan Stadium.

now the name of the game changes to "Jeopardy," in which State finds itself with four losses in the last five games. MSU's record sagged to 2-4 with three losses and no wins in the Big Ten. Farewell, dark horse role. Illinois, which has beaten the Spartans six straight times, leveled its record to 3-3 and stayed in the conference title hunt at 2-1. MSU had old grads, undergrads and other guests, such as Duffy Daugherty and Bubba Smith, dreaming of the good old days by taking a 17-7 lead in the second quarter on Lorenzo White's three-yard touchdown run and an 81-yard bomb from Bobby McAllister to Mark Ingram.

Too bad. The Spartans were making mistakes faster than they could make touchdowns. Here is a litany of the MSU errors tha turned the homecoming hummer SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Steve Beuerlein passed for one touchdown and set up two others Saturday, leading Notre Dame over 19th-ranked and previously undefeated Army, 24-10. The Irish, averting a third straight defeat amid reports that coach Gerry Faust's job was on the line, recovered an Army fumble on the second play of the game and went in for a touchdown.

Beuerlein set it up with a 17-yard pass to Alvin Miller, and Pernell Taylor scored from the 1 for the touchdown. The next time the Irish gained possession, Beuerlein hit Tim Brown with a 19-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead. Army made it 14-10 on a four-yard touchdown run by Bill Lampley and a 22-yard field goal by Craig Stopa. But Notre Dame came right back with 82-yard touchdown march that ended with Allen Pinkett's one-yard dive. Beuerlein completed four passes in the drive for 46 yards.

The Irish put it out of reach on a 2 1-yard field goal by John Carney with 6:23 left in the game. The victory left Notre Dame 2-3. Army (5-1 had an eight-game winning streak snapped. Beuerlein completed 1 2 of 20 passes for 186 yards. Pinkett rushed 27 times for 133 yards, becoming Notre Dame's all-time leading rusher.

Pinkett needed only 50 yards to White fumbles at MSU's 21. Illinois takes 7-3 lead in the first quarter on Thomas Rooks' 10-yard run. Poor punt by MSU's Greg Montgomery gives Illinois the ball at the State 39. Illinois scores on Jack Tru-deau touchdown pass in second quarter, trimming the Illini deficit to 17-14. Illinois ties score, 17-17, late in the third period.

On subsequent kickoff, MSU's Dean Altobelli, thinking the ball would go out of bounds, permits it to roll to the State 2. It doesn't go out of bounds, MSU has to punt and the resulting field position gives Illinois a 27-yard field goal by Chris White and a 20-17 lead. The crusher, just one minute later. McAllister's pass to Andre Rison, intended as a forward pass, is (A) lateral; (B) too high; and (C) fumbled. The ball, with Rison unsuccessfully groping for it, rolls into the end zone, where Illini back Todd Avery falls on it for a touchdown.

That was 10 points in one minute, giving Illinois a 27-17 lead and the ball game. "THE FUMBLE WAS the first Lorenzo has had, and on the loose ball in the end zone, the mistake was throwing the ball ahead and not behind," said MSU coach George Perles, charging most of the errors to his team's youth.
