Notre Dame victory provides new chapter to Irish mystique
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Florida State didn't believe in the magic and mystique of Notre Dame. It didn't believe that the specter of the past could get in the way of its perfect season. Now it does.
On the same field where Knute Rockne coached, Paul Hormun ran and Joe Montana threw, the No. 2 Fighting Irish added another chapter to their football lore by defeating a team many considered undefeatable.
Powered by a rugged rushing attack, Notre Dame ran out to a 17-point lead and hung on to defeat No.1 Florida State 31-24 Saturday, when Charlie Ward's desperation pass was knocked down on the goal line as time expired.
In winning, the Irish became a favorite for a ninth national championship.
"The mystique didn't hurt us; it helped them. Their kids play like they're possessed," Florida State coach Bobby Bowden said.
"I just like to be Lou Holtz for one night — tonight," he said. "We have no excuses. Notre Dame ran the football on us. They deserve to win. They did the things I was afraid they would."
In the last six years, Bowden's teams have never finished lower than fourth in the poll. But they have never finished No.1, frustrated in the past by intrastate rival Miami. This year it was the Irish.
But Bowden could still get another shot at the title in a bowl rematch against Notre Dame.
Lee Becton rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown, and JeffBurris ran for two more scores as the Irish won the 28th meeting between the top two teams in The Associated Press poll.
"I was afraid with all the hype, the game might not live up to it," Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz said. "I don't know how it looked from the press
box or the stands, but I don't want to see anything more exciting than that from the sideline.
"The last couple days I said we were going to play pretty well, and we felt we belonged here. Florida State is every bit as good as I thought," he said.
Both teams entered the game with 9-0 records and 16-game winning streaks, tied for longest in the nation. The Seminoles were favored by a touchdown because they had been more dominant, outscoring their opponents by an average of 44-6.
But after falling behind 7-0, the Irish scored 24 straight points and dominated the smaller Semi-noles before a freized crowd of 59,075 at Notre Dame Stadium.
In pregame interviews, several Seminoles said they weren't worried about Notre Dame's history and tradition, and two referred to Rockne as "Rock Kuteny."
After the Irish took a 24-7 lead on Kevin Pendergast's career-best 47-yard field goal in the third quarter, Florida State pulled to 24-17 on Ward's 6-yard touchdown pass to Warrick Dunn and a 24-yard field goal by Scott Bentley, who turned down a scholarship offer from Irish coach Lou Holtz.
But Notre Dame built a cushion when Burris, a defensive back who is used as a runner in goal-line situations, scored on an 11-yard run with 6:53 remaining.
Florida State made it 31-24 on a tipped, 20-yard touchdown catch by Kez McCorvey with 2:26 left. Notre Dame recovered the Seminoles' onside kick, but Florida State got the ball back with 51 seconds remaining.
Operating with no timeouts, the Seminoles drove from their 37 line to the Notre Dame 14 in the closing seconds. But Ward's final pass was knocked down at the goal line by cornerback Shawn Wooden as time expired.

Tar Heels No.1 in basketball poll
North Carolina will open defense of the national championship as the No.1 team in The Associated Press' preseason college basketball poll.
The Tar Heels received 61 of 65 first-place votes from a nationwide panel of writers and broadcasters Saturday for their fourth No.1 ranking in the 13 presseason polls conducted.
Kentucky, which was listed No. 1 on three ballots, was second and was followed by Arkansas and Duke, last year's preseason No. 1, giving the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conference the top four teams.
No team has ever been a unanimous preseason No. 1, and the three first-place votes for Kentucky and one for Kansas kept the Tar Heels from doing it. They also were preseason No. 1 for 1981-82, the first season such a poll was taken, and again before 1983-84 and 1986-87.
Michigan, the NCAA championship game loser the last two years, was No. 5, followed by California, Louisville, Temple, Kansas and Minnesota.
Three preseason No. 15 have gone on to win the national title: North Carolina in 1982, UNLV in 1990 and Duke in 1992.
"Seldom does a team finish No. 1 who starts there." Tar Hearl coach Dean Smith said. "We hope we can be one of a select few to accomplish such an unbelievable goal. The very fact that college basketball is such an unpredictable game and a champion is decided by a tournament, the polls
UNLv in 1990-91 and Duke the next season are the only preseason No. Is to hold the top spot through the final poll.
lose the meaning they enjoy in football."
North Carolina has four starters back from last season's 34-4 team that gave Smith his second national title and has added yet another stellar recruiting class.
"Generally, anyone who is returning key people from the Final Four is selected at the top," Smith said. "If Arkansas had beaten us in the regional semifinals, they would have been preseason No. 1, in my opinion."
Kentucky, which lost to Michigan in the Final Four, lost Jamal Mashburn to the NBA but still figures to win its conference, as does Arkansas.
Kansas was the other team in the Final Four last season, and the Jayhawks still made the top 10 despite losing four starters.
Oklahoma State led the second 10 and was followed by Indiana, the No. 1 team in last season's final poll, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Georgetown, Virginia, Illinois, Arizona, Cincinnati and Syracuse.
Purdue led the final five and was followed by Massachusetts, Vanderbilt, George Washington and Florida State.
California, which ended Duke's run at a third straight title in the second round of last year's tournament, was the highest-ranked of the nine teams that made the preseason poll after not being in last year's final poll. The No. 6 Golden Bears will rely on sophomore point guard Jason Kidd in their first full season under Todd Bozeman.
North Carolina opens the season Wednesday night at home against Western Kentucky in the Preseason NIT, with California, Kansas, Minnesota, Cincinnati and Massachusetts also in the 16-team field.
