Sooners, Miami set for showdown
United Press International
After all they've been through before, the pressure of batting for No. 1 shouldn't faze Oklahoma or Miami.
The Sooners, ranked No.1 in the nation, will play at No.2 Miami tomorrow in one of the top games of the season — one that could influence the national championship.
Playing a game of this significance is nothing new for the Sooners, 2-0. Twice in two years they have been ranked among the top two teams in the country. The last time this happened was New Year's Day when they beat Penn State in the Orange Bowl for the national crown.
"We've been in top game situations where they were ranked 1-2-3-4-5." Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer, whose team will be returning to the Orange Bowl, Miami's home stadium, said. "Rankings had nothing to do with it. It won't affect the ball game at all."
Miami also has enjoyed its share of great confrontations, and the Hurricanes have gone through some difficult times off the field that will leave the playing of a game a pleasant diversion.
On Wednesday, the school and MCI reached an agreement that will keep the long-distance carrier from pressuring charges against Hurricane football players who made long-distance calls using someone else's access card number. The company had threatened to press legal action.

Miami gave Oklahoma its only loss of 1985, 27-14, and it's not allowing itself to be awed by its rival's awesome start. Oklahoma has outscored its two opponents this season 101-3.
"Nothing intimidates this team," said Miami quarterback Vinny Testaverde, who passed for 270 yards testament the Sooners last season. "A lot of players have gone from this school to the Raiders and nobody intimidates the Raiders. We like to think it starts here."
Miami is known as a passing team, but Testaverde said the Hurricanes could crack heads up front as well as anybody.
anybody, we were physical last year and that's why we won the game," he said. "They didn't expect us to be as physical as we were. They thought we were going to be intimidated by them."
other. Other games involving Big Eight Conference teams find Wichita State playing at Iowa State, Indiana State at Kansas, Indiana at Missouri and Illinois State at Oklahoma State.
Also this week the Nebraska Cornuskers, 2-0, will play a 2-1 Oregon team that beat Colorado in the final seconds two weeks ago.
Kansas State takes the week off before opening the conference season against Oklahoma.
Nebraska head coach Tom Osborne said he was beginning to worry that his team might begin to think about just how good it was. The Huskers defeated Illinois 59-14 last week.
"I'm worried a little bit about complacency on our part, especially since we're playing a team we beat so bad (63-0) last year.
"You can't expect all the good things that happened to us last week to happen every game."
Colorado would like any good thing to happen to it. After a loss to Colorado State to open the season, the Buffaloes have lost in the final minute each of the past two weeks. And now a 3-Arizona team, a school that has not beaten Colorado in 12 meetings, comes to visit.
"The last 5 to 8 years Arizona has been one of the better defensive teams in the country, and this year is no exception," said Colorado head coach Bill McCartney. "But their offense is now playing the same way. They're really moving the football."
Tomorrow will also be Indiana Day on Interstate 70 as the Hoosiers, 2,0.

"they're scary." Missouri head coach Woody Widenhofer said of the Indiana offense. "They just fly around out there."
Oklahoma State and Illinois State are both 1-2 and the Cowboys will not be taking any team for granted.
Iowa State, 1-1, and Wichita State, 1-2, are two teams that have not been consistent this year. "They're very, very explosive," said head coach Jim Criner, whose Cyclones showed the same ability last week, winning 64-9.
"I'm sure they coming in here thinking they have a chance," said Oklahoma State head coach Pat Jones. "We have our work cut out for us to beat anybody."
Other schools in the Top 10 will be looking to move up at the expense of whichever team loses in the big shootout in Miami.
No. 3 Alabama, 4-0, has the week off, while No. 4 Michigan plays Florida State and No. 5 Nebraska faces Oregon.
Sixth ranked Penn State plays East Carolina, No. 7 Washington plays Southern California, No. 8 Auburn plays Tennessee, No. 9 Arkansas plays New Mexico State and No. 10 Arizona plays Colorado.
Mets tie club record of 100 victories
CHICAGO - Pinch hitter Danny Heep's two-run double capped a three-run ninth inning yesterday and lifted the New York Mets to a 6-5 triumph over the Cubs.
The victory was the 100th of the year for the Mets, tying the club record set in 1969 when they went on to win the World Series.
With the score tied at 3-3, Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter opened the ninth with singles off reliever Ed Lynch, 5-5. After Lynch struck out Darryl Strawberry, Lee Smith relieved and Ray Knight then hit a hard grounder off Smith's glove that bounced to shortstop Shawor Dunston Hernandez scored ahead of Dunston's throw to the plate, and Heep, batting for Rafael Santana, doubled to center and scored pinch runner Stan Jefferson and Knight.
Heep's hit proved to be decisive because Jerry Mumphrey hit a two-run homer for the Cubs in the bottom of the ninth off Roger McDowell, 14-9 McDowell took over in the eighth for Ron Darling, who allowed six hits and two runs in seven innings. Jesse Orosco got the last out, which was his 20 save.
Los Angeles 4. San Diego 3
LOS ANGELES — Rookie Jeff Hamilton hit a home run with one out in the 10th inning, giving the Los Angeles Dodgers a 4-3 victory over the San Diego Padres in the first game of a double-header.
Hamilton smashed a 2-2 pitch off loser Lance McCullers, 9-9, into the left field stands for his third home run and third game-winning hit of the season. The victory went to Ken Howell, 6-11, who blew a save opportunity in the ninth.
The double-header developed because of a rainout the previous night. The Dodgers have suffered only 12 rains since moving to Dodger Stadium in 1962.
