Results of September 5:

OHIO STATE (1-0) 20, Louisville (0-1) 19 (Pred:  OSU 31-10):  The Buckeyes
	dodged a big bullet as the Cardinals went for and missed a two-point
	conversion in the final minute.  OSU certainly didn't dominate
	a Louisville team that already looks better than last year's
	disappointing crew.  Dan Wilkerson was the burly lineman who
	hurried Cardinal QB Jeff Brohm on the conversion play.  Brohm
	had to hurry his throw, which floated incomplete despite two
	receivers looking pretty open.  Louisville recovered the on-side
	kick, but they grabbed the ball one yard to early.  Ray Buchanan
	had rambled with the recovery down to around the OSU 10-yard line.
	89,653 at Ohio Stadium...

Notre Dame (1-0) 42, NORTHWESTERN (0-1) 7 (Pred: ND 45-13):  A great
	game for a half, but the Irish just wore them down after
	intermission.  It was just 7-7 late in the first half when
	the Irish scored to go up by a TD, then they poured it on
	in the third.  A good halftime lashing by Lou Holtz probably
	did the trick.  The Irish scored two TDs each in the third and
	fourth quarters.  Rick Mirer was 8 of 17 for 165 yards and two
	TDs, while Reggie Brooks and Jerome Bettis ran for 157 and 130
	yards, respectively.  Wildcat QB Len Williams had a good day,
	going 26 of 40 for 286 yards.  64,877 at Soldier Field...

ILLINOIS (1-0) 30, Northern Illinois (0-1) 14 (Pred:  Illinois 38-12):  The
	Illini led by just 17-14 early in the fourth quarter before
	putting the game away following a Husky fumble.  NIU actually
	had the ball when down just three after an Illinois miscue,
	but coughed it right back up.  Jason Verduzco was 19 of 30 for 157
	yards and 3 TDs, with 1 INT.  Steve Feagin rushed for 65 yards.
	50,015 at Memorial Stadium...

Miami (1-0) 24, IOWA (0-2) 7 (Pred:  Miami 34-16):  Well, Iowa shut
	down Miami on the ground, but couldn't stop Torretta.  This
	didn't seem like a horrid loss to me, but something to build
	on.  Probably a better performance than last week's against
	NC State.  Torretta was 31 of 51 for 433 yards and two TDs.
	Iowa's Jim Hartlieb did well too, going 26 of 38 for 266 yards
	and a TD with no INTs.  Iowa's leading ground-gainer netted but
	18 yards, while Miami's best was just 35 yards.  Torretta's
	yardage broke Chuck Long's Kinnick Stadium record of 420 yards
	set in 1983.  70,397 at Iowa City...

Penn State (1-0) 24, CINCINNATI (0-1) 20:  As the Cincinnati TV sports
	guy put it, the Bearcats shaved 77 points off of last year's
	spread.  Not bad at all.  And, the Lions had to come from behind
	with a fourth quarter TD with 7:36 left to win this one.  Tim
	Murphy & Crew in the Queen City should be commended.  Down 17-7
	entering the fourth quarter, the Bearcats had rallied with 13
	straight points to take their 20-17 lead...  29,099 in a
	refurbished Nippert Stadium...
