Jackson leads Irish to second victory
..
SOUTH BEND (AP) - Against
Oklahoma, Jarious Jackson finally gave
the Fighting Irish the heart to win.
Hethrew for two touchdowns and ran for
one ito lead Notre Dame's biggest come-
back win in 13 years.
"I said we've got to get this victory,"
.J eson said. "I said if I have to put an
IV in my arm after the game, we're going
to get this victory."
Notre Dame looked disorganized and
unemotional inopening the season 1-3,
and Jackson didn't look like his old self.
Expected to lead the team as its lone. cap-
tain and a fifth-year senior, he was errat-
ic. He threw four interceptions in his first
four games, matching his total for all of
last season, and no longer looked like a
erous threat to run.
o when Josh Heupel hit Brandon
Daniels for a 15-yard touchdown pass to
give Oklahoma (3-1) a 30-14 lead with
10:01 left in the third quarter, the Irish
looked whipped once again.
Until Jackson took over. He hit Jabari
Holloway for a 15-yard touchdown with
7:20 left in the third to begin the come-
back. After Lee Lafayette intercepted
Heupel's pass at the Irish 44, Jackson led
lre Dame down to the 1, where Tony
Driver punched it in to pull the Irish
within 30-28 with 2:37 left in the quarter.
No 10 GEORGIA 23, LOUISIANA
STATE 22: The Tigers never considered
going for a tie, and thanks to a clutch
leaping deflection by Will Witherspoon,
Georgia remained unbeaten.
"We did not want to get into an
extended game with them," Tigers
coach Gerry DiNardo said of his deci-
sion to gamble on victory rather than a
possible overtime with a conversion kick
with 18 seconds remaining.
"it was the right call because we strug-
gled on offense today"Tigers cornerback
Fred Booker said. "We had to go for the
jugular."
No. 13 KANSAS STATE 35, No. 15
TEXAS 17: Kansas State turned Texas'
revenge game into a personal nightmare
for Major Applewhite.
The Wildcats' David Allen returned a
punt for a record-tying touchdown and
also ran for a score as Kansas State cap-
italized on six turnovers by the
Longhorns quarterback for a 35-17 vic-
tory over No. 15 Texas on Saturday.
Texas players had looked to this game
as payback for a 48-7 beating last year
in Applewhite's first collegiate start.
No. 16 MISSISSIPPI STATE 42,
VANDERBILT 14: Ellis Wyms had two of
Mississippi State's six sacks, and the
Bulldogs forced three turnovers in beat-
ing Vanderbilt 42-14. Victory in its road
game this season gave Mississippi State
(5-0 overall, 2-0 Southeastern
Conference) its best record since 1944.
Vanderbilt (3-2, 1-2) came in averag-
ing 363 yards a game, but Mississippi
State countered with the SEC's stingiest
defense and the sixth-best nationally and
limited the Commodores to 158 yards.
No. 17 MARSHALL 32, MIAMI, OHIO
14: Marshall coach Bob Pruett saw the
Thundering Herd's victory coming.
"I told (former Marshall coach) Sonny
Randle before the game that if we don't
turn the ball over, we'll blow them out,"
Pruett said.
His prophecy was fulfilled as No. 1 7
Marshall's running backs didn't lose a
fumble and quarterback Chad
Pennington threw for 294 yards and
three touchdowns with no interceptions.
Pennington, who was 18-of-35 passing,
has thrown for 1,569 yards and 14 TDs
with only five interceptions this season.
KENTUCKY 31, No. 20 ARKA'SAS 20:
Criticized as soft, Kentucky's man-to-
man pass defense, so vulnerable in loss-
es to Louisville and Florida, turned sti-
fling and the defense forced three
Arkansas turnovers Saturday, keying the
Wildcats' biggest victory over a top 25
opponent since 1993.
"We have had a tendency to come out
and not play hard," linebacker Marlon
McCree said. "For this game, we came
out and got the ball."
No. 22 SYRACUSE 47, TULANE 17:
Madei Williams hit Pat Woodcock with a
22-yard touchdown pass, and Nate Trout
kicked a 37-yard field goal in the final
minute of the first half to break open a
tight game. The defense then held the
high-powered Green Wave (2-2) score-
less in the second half as Syracuse rolled.
The Syracuse defense intercepted five
passes, turning three into 13 points early
in the game against sophomore quarter-
back Patrick Ramsey, who had thrown
only four interceptions in 128 attempts
in the three previous games.
"Every time we made a mistake
Syracuse capitalized," Tulane coach
Chris Scelfo said.
No. 19 EAST CAROLINA 33, ARMY 14:
Fighting public perception and the
Cadets' wishbone offense, the Pirates
responded to their doubters emphatically.
"We heard people say it was inevitable
we'd lose because of the big win last
week, but we came out ready to play,"
said David Garrard, who threw for 300
yards and a touchdown "The guys
responded and we just proved everybody
wrong. We had a lot of fun out there."
WASHINGTON 34, No.25 OREGON 20:
Marques Tuiasosopo threw three touch-
down passes and the Washington
H-luskies won Saturday night..
Willie Hurst, Washington's No. I tail-
back, rushed for 161 yards on 30 carries,
including a 4-yard touchdown run, and
fullback Pat Conniff had a 9-yard scoring
run in the third quarter. Tuiasosopo had
seven turnovers in his previous two starts,
but he didn't have a pass interception nor
a fumble as the Huskies played mistake-
free football before a crowd of 72,581.
In the fourth night game in history at
Husky Stadium, the junior quarterback
completed 17-of-21 passes for 211
yards, including a 24-yarder to Gerald
Harris for a touchdown on the first play
of the fourth quarter that put the Huskies
(2-2) ahead 27-13.
