Results for week of September 5
-------------------------------

Bowling Green 29, W. Michigan 19: Once again, Erik White lead the Falcons back
                                  in the fourth quarter.  Bowling Green came
from behind to win seven times last season including their win over Fresno
State in the Califonia Raison Bowl.  After the win, the Falcons win streak of
eleven straight ranked in a tie for the nation's third longest.  The Buckeyes
of Ohio State will have their hands full with Gary Blackney's team.


Akron 27, E. Michigan 9: Jerry Faust introduced the Akron Zips to the MAC with
                         a win over The Eagles of Eastern Michigan.  Zip
quarterback Marcel Weems passed for 119 yards and one touchdown.  He and also
ran for 49 yards in the game played in Ypsilanti, Michigan.


Toledo 49, Arkansas St. 0: The Toledo Rockets re-introduced Ray Perkins to
                           division I-A football by pasting the Indians in the
Glass Bowl in Toledo.  Kevin Meger scored once and passed for a touchdown while
Casey McBeth ran teh ball 22 times netting 149 yards.  Also, both Mark Brewster
and Terry Jackson returned fumble recoveries for touchdowns.


Clemson 24, Ball St. 10: The Cardinals gave Clemson a great deal more than the
                         Tigers had expected.  The score was tied at 10 until
Howard Hall ran 1 yard for a touchdown with 10:26 remaining in the fourth
quarter.  Hall's touchdown was set up by Tim Jones' interception of a Mike Neu
pass.  Cardinals' running back Corey Croom rushed for 135 yards on 32 carries
and Mike Neu throw for 208 yards completing 25 of 48 passes.


Kentucky 21, C. Michigan 14: No report available.


Pittsburgh 51, Kent 10: Curtis Martin scored four touchdowns and Alex Van Pelt
                        threw for three as the Panthers crushed the Golden
Flashes in Pittsburgh.  Pitt did, howver, have to come from behind after
spotting Kent a 3-0 lead early.  Also for Kent, Kevin Shuman scored on a 1 yard
run capping a seven minute drive in the third quarter.


Miami 29, West Virginia 29: Bobby Lee coy hit a 44 yard field goal late in the
                            fourth quarter to lift the Redskins into a tie with
favored West Virginia in the game played in Morgantown.  The tying score was
set up by a tipped pitch which was recoverd (and caused) by Robert Blanton with
3:07 remaining in the game.  Former Notre Dame quarterback, Jake Kelchner,
threw for two touchdowns including a 46 yarder to a diving Niel Dougherty in
the corner of the endzone.  Dougherty finished the game with 13 receptions for
158 yards and two touchdowns.


Iowa St 35, Ohio 9: The Bobcats looked promising early by building a 9-0 lead
                    on a 2 yard touchdown run by Tom Curtis and a 24 yard field
goal by Jeff Marchant.  After that it was all Cyclones.  Iowa State quarterback
Bob Utter ran for one touchdown and threw for another on an 83 yard hookup with
Lamont Hill.  The game, played in Ames, was delayed 53 minutes due to an
electrical storm.  The Bobcats have not won a season opener since 1978.


All in all, the MAC looked pretty good this week with Miami tying WVa and Ball
State giving Clemson a pretty good game.  Next week features two out of
conference games with the (really) Big Ten.  My record after 1 week, 8-2.
