(AP) - Who needs 1cvi Faulk when Louisiana State has f t ,field position and turnovers? K Faulk was held to 88 yards rushing Saturday and had his mark of six IrIight 100-yard games snapped, but thce§venth-ranked Tigers beat Auburn 31-19. Auburn planned 411 along to take Faulk out of the game - and just about succeeded. But the Tigers found ways to win without ,Faulk, especially with the help of four Auburn turnovers. "When you spot them 14 and lose by 12, that's as close as you're going to set,' Auburn coach Terry Bowden said. W Herb Tyler threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Kipps with 5:27 left to seal the victory for Louisiana State (2-0 overall, 1-0 Southeastern Conference). With the Tigers leading 25-19, Chris Cummings intercepted a pass by Aubin quarterback Ben Leard on Auburn's 46. Faulk then gained 26 yards on five carries to set up the clinching touchdown. "We didn't always take advantage of rnovers," LSU coach Gerry DiNardo said-"But we did when we had to." The Tigers led 19-17 at halftime and 1 Harris sandwiched his 64 between rounds of 72 and 74. His 3-under par total of 210 led the Wolverines and was 11i th best among the tour- nament's 66 competitors. "The delight of the trip" for Carras' team was true freshman Andy Mathews. Playing in his first college tournament, Mathews fired a team-low score of 68 in the opening round, despite bogeying the final two holes. ie fol- lowed that with scores of 71 and 74, giving him an even-par total of 213 and tying him for 20th place. "He has everything you look for in a player: the desire to compete, the ability, and great composition for a freshman," Carras said. Carras was especially pleased with Mathews' performance because he knows how overwhelming it can be for a freshman to com- pete at this level. "It's very difficult (for a freshman to play in his first tournament)," Carras said. "This is the first time at the NCAA level where they play for more than just themselves. They're play- ing for the entire team." Mathews was one of just two freshman who made the trip to Minnesota last weekend. Kyle Kilcherman did not perform as well by carding a score of 227 (76-75-76), leaving him in 57th position. One of the 'veterans' for this inexperienced squad who traveled to Minnesota was sopho- more Scott Hayes, yho saw some varsity action last year. H ayes showed flashes of brilliance during the first round by shooting a 69, despite play- ing the 17th and 18th holes in three-over par. He finished the weekend at 219 (69-74-76), good for a 36th-place finish. The Wolverines' fifth player last weekend was junior Mike Affeldt. Although he is a junior, Afl1dt does not have much varsity exper incne. I1 posted three rounds of 76 in the Northern Intercollegiate, giving him a 54- hole total of 228 and leaving him in 59th place. Wi fh eightt o he 12 Northern lncrcnietate teams coming from the Big Ten, Ist weekend u ce the Wolverines a chance 1o see how thei young team matches up aganst future compettors. 1 he Big Ten Champ ionsh ips x il e held on this same course ( Les Bolstai Country Club) in May. Michigan fiished ixth of the eight Big Ten competitors, but entered the final round only two shots out of second place. This young team pro ed on Friday that it can coipete with some of the best teams in the conference if it can develop more consis- tency. The Wolverines resume tournament play this weekend at the Iowa Invitational in Iowa City, Iowa. FILE PHOTO The Michigan men's golf team suffered some growing pains in Minnesota this weekend, finishing eighth out of 12 teams at the Northern intercollegiate. battle of tigers 31-19 had a chance to blow the game open in the third quarter, but twice failed to capitalize on excellent field position. Tyler was stopped on a fourth-and-1 on Auburn's 17. One possession later, Louisiana State moved to the Auburn 8, but Tyler fumbled and the ball was recovered by Auburn's Rob Pate. "There were times when we could have been a little better. so we could separate ourselves, but we just didn't get it done" DiNardo said. "We made a lot of mistakes, but I think they are cor- rectable." LSU wouldn't be denied after gain- ing excellent field position a third time.
