Iowa State falls one yard short
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — If they'd all been this scary, Bobby Bowden might never have stuck around to win 324 games.
Kendyll Pope and terel Hudson stopped Iowa State's Seneca Wallace at the goal line on the final play Saturday night, giving No. 3 Florida State a wild 38-31 victory and nudging Bowden past Bear Bryant on the career victory list with 324.
"I feel like we lost this game," said Bowden, who trails only Penn State's Joe Paterno (327) on the Division I-A victory list. "That's how I feel right now."
Wallace, the senior quarterback who led Iowa State back from a 24-0 hole, scrambled 20 yards to the 1 yard line with 4 seconds left.
With the partisan Iowa State crowd of more than 55,000 roaring, he took the ball and rolled right.
But Pope and Hudson made the play.
"We put the ball with the best player on our team," Iowa State
coach Dan McCarney said.
Hudson said he recognized the play at once.
"As soon as I saw the fullback go in motion, I knew it was coming. They ran it before and I guess they thought they could run it again on us," he said. "I just tried to stay behind the ball. I got him inside-out. Kendyll got
got him stopped." Chris Rix threw
him outside-in and we got him stopped."
Chris Rix threw two TD passes and engineered two other first-half scoring drives as the Seminoles took
charge early in the Eddie Robinson Classic.
The Seminoles, who return 17 starters from an 8-4 campaign that marked Bowden's worst in 15 years, scored on both teams' initial possession and appeared en route to a rout until Wallace began stunning them with big plays.
"I thought man, this just might be our year," Bowden said. "Then
the second half it was just the opposite. We couldn't stop them. We went out there and we could not do what we wanted to do to save our lives."
Adam Benike's 33-yard field goal — after Wallace lost 15 yards on third-and-goal from the 1 — drew the Cyclones to 31-17 with
1:23 left in the third.
Then Atif Austin returned an interception 39 yards to the Florida State 25. Four plays later, Wallace made it 31-24 with 13:01 left when he scored on a 1-yard run as a State coaches tried
Iowa State coaches fired
frantically to call timeout.
Back came the Seminoles, with Rix hitting Anquan Boldin on a 31-yard TD pass for a 38-24 lead with 8:15 left. But Wallace needed only nine plays to drive his team 91 yards, hitting Jamaul Montgomery on a 39-yard TD pass that made it 38-31 with 5:26 left.
Wallace finished 22-of-33 for 313 yards and two touchdowns.
At first, it looked easy for the Seminoles. On their first possession, Nick Maddux capped an 80-yard march with a 5-yard run.
Rix was 17-of-25 for 210.
Then three minutes later, pressured by Donnie Carter and Michael Boulware, Wallace hurried a screen pass right into the hands of defensive end Alonzo Jackson. The 250-pounder juggled the ball a moment, then rambled 48 yards into the end zone.
Another Cyclones turnover led to Rix's 2-yard TD pass to Anquan Boldin on the first play of the second period.
Then Iowa State got a 54-yard kickoff return by Lance Young and two plays later, Hiawatha Rutland broke free over the middle and fled 56 yards into the end zone, making it 24-7.
Trailing 31-7 in the final minute of the half, Wallace engineered a six-play, 70-yard drive, capped by a 29-yard scoring pass to tight end Kyle Knock.
It was the first career TD by the senior tight end whose father, Don, is director of football operations for the Cyclones.
Ohio State freshman impressive in opener
The Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Maurice Clarett made some history and then went on to bigger things.
Clarett became the first true
menman to start tailback in an Ohio State season opener, then rushed for 175
yards and three touchdowns as the No. 13 Buckeyes beat Texas Tech 45-21 on Saturday in the Pigskin Classic.
He also ended up as the Buckeyes' leading receiver with four catches for 50 yards.
Clarett scored on runs of 59,45 and 2 yards — and set up two other short touchdown runs by Lydell Ross as the Buckeyes rolled up 318 yards on the ground.
Early in the third quarter, after he ran untouched through the right side for the 45-yard score, the crowd of 100.057 at Ohio Stadium chanted, "Mau-rice! Maurice!"
Clarett was Ohio's Mr. Football last year at Warren's Harding High School and also was USA Today's national offensive player of the year. He graduated from high school in December and enrolled at Ohio State for the winter quarter so he could go through spring drills with the team.
In addition to the fact he started, Clarett's performance was among the best ever by firstyear tailback at Ohio State.
Howard "Hopalong" Cassady scored three times in a 33-13 win over Indiana in 1952. And Michael Wiley scored touchdowns the only three times he touched the ball on passes of 51 and 60 yards and a 49-yard reverse in a 70-7 beating of Rice in 1996.
Two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin didn't start and didn't carry the ball in his first collegiate game. He rushed for 239 yards in his second game in an Ohio State uniform in 1972, then started for the first time the following week.
Nebraska newcomer sparkles in season opener against Arizona State
The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — Jammal Lord threw his first career touchdown pass and ran for 103 yards in his first start for Nebraska as the No.10 Cornhuskers beat Arizona State 48-10 Saturday night in the Black Coaches Association Classic.
6-0 in "preseason" games.
The Cornhuskers blocked two punts and played strong defensively on a night they were trying to forget closing last season with blowout losses to Colorado and Miami.
Nebraska scored 38 points in the second half as it improved to
Lord's first start was highly anticipated, largely because Nebraska's offense had been centered around 2001 Heisman Trophy winner Eric Crouch for the past three years.
While Lord struggled at times,
he also showed some promise.
With three new starters on the offensive line, Lord didn't get a lot of protection and was forced to scramble a lot. He finished with 17 carries with most of his yardage coming on broken pass plays.
He also completed five of 13 passes for 33 yards, including a 9-yard strike to Wilson Thomas that
put the Huskers up 17-3 early in the second half.
Arizona State's Chad Christensen, a redshirt freshman who
was starting his first college game, was 6-for-16 for 77 yards and Mike Williams scored on a 34-
yard run. Williams had 12 carries for 77 yards for the Sun Devils (0-1).
Dahrran Diedrick, Cory Ross and Judd Davies also scored for the Huskers and Fabian Washington, a true freshman who
starts his first college classes next week, returned an interception 29 yards for the final TD.
After yielding 99 points in the final two games of last year, Nebraska's defense wanted a big night and got it. The defense held Arizona State to 258 total yards, 52 of which came on the final drive against Nebraska reserves.
The defense also set up one score with a sack just outside the goal line, scored one on a blocked punt and set up another TD with the second blocked kick.
Demoe Adams started it when he sacked Christensen at the ASU 1 on third down, then
Tim Parker shanked the punt to the right sideline and Nebraska got the ball on the 20. The Huskers drove to the 9 and Lord hit Thomas for his first touchdown pass.
On third-and-7 in the next series, Chris Kelsay ran down Christensen and sacked him at the 10. Demorrio Williams blocked Parker's punt and Scott Shanle scooped it up and went six yards for the touchdown that put the Huskers up 24-3 with 9:38 left in the third.
Arizona State cut it to 24-10 when Williams broke away on a run up the middle but Nebraska
countered with Josh Brown's 42- yard field goal and Diedrick's 2- yard dive over the top with 7:12 left. The Huskers opened the touchdown drive on the Arizona State 9 after Williams recovered the second block punt.
Lord quickly showed a knack for scrambling. His 33-yard run on what was supposed to be a pass started Nebraska's first touchdown drive. Lord eluded the initial rush and did a head fake on Mason Unk that spun the linebacker in a circle, then took off down the right sideline to the Arizona State 24. Davies scored eight plays later.
