Holieway: Sooners may have to pass)
to win high-scoring game with USC
Associated Press
Jamelle Holieway, the con
summate wishbone quarterback, says
Oklahoma may take to the air Satur
day when the third-ranked Sooners
face No. 5 Southern California in
the Los Angeles Coliseum.
“We have to put points on the
board, and the only way to do that is
to throw the ball,” he said. “I believe
it’s going to be a high-scoring game.”
The Sooners, 2-0, have lost their
past two meetings with the Trojans,
2-0, and have scored only seven
points in the last six quarters against
USC.
Holieway has attempted 10 passes
this year in victories over North Car
olina and Arizona, completing five
for 134 yards and one touchdown.
The Sooners rank fifth in the na
tion in rushing with 328 yards a
game while the Trojan defense is
12th best against the run.
USC coach Larry Smith realizes
the game will loom large in the na
tional rankings. He is also aware that
a West Coast team hasn’t captured
the national championship since
USC won in 1972.
“This is a big game for national
prestige,” he said.
In other games involving Top 20
teams, Wisconsin visits No. 1 Miami,
Fla.; Tennessee is at No. 4 Auburn;
No. 6 Georgia travels to No. 14
South Carolina; No. 7 LSU plays at
Ohio State; No. 8 Notre Dame hosts
Purdue; Michigan State faces No. 9
Florida State; and Arizona State
meets No. 10 Nebraska.
Also, No. 11 West Virginia is at
No. 16 Pitt; No. 12 Clemson travels
to Georgia Tech; Vanderbilt visits
No. 13 Alabama; No. 15 Penn State
hosts Rugters; San Jose State is at
No. 17 Washington; Texas A&M
faces No. 18 Oklahoma State; Wake
Forest travels to No. 19 Michigan;
and Mississippi State plays at No. 20
Florida.
Columbia, losers of 42 games in a
row, plays Lafayette, 2-0, in New
York. The Lions bowed to Harvard,
41-7, in their first game and have
not won since a 21-18 victory over
Yale on Oct. 15, 1983.
On the other hand, the top-rated
Hurricanes, 2-0, have won 34 con
secutive regular-season games, in
cluding a thrilling 31-30 come-from-
behind victory last week over Michi-
S an -. .
Miami coach Jimmy Johnson is
grateful for the chance to play the
winless Badgers — 42-point under
dogs — after two games against na-
ily
“I think it’s a little bit of a relief
not going into another week of hype
and emotion,” he said, hoping to
move his team closer to the record of
45 straight victories, set by Okla
homa from 1953-57.
Junior quarterback Steve Walsh
said this week he might skip his se
nior year for the chance to play in
the NFL. But Walsh said his main
concern these days is bringing a sec
ond national title to Coral Gables.
South Carolina quarterback Todd
Ellis, who has thrown for 712yards)
and five touchdowns in the Carat
cocks’ three victories this season, is I
expected to continue his aerial as
sault against Georgia, 3-0.
The Bulldogs gave up moretk|
700 passings yards against Tennesj
see and Mississippi State, promptinjl
Coach Vince Dooley to say, “I'msuit|
South Carolina is licking their chopj
— particularly the quarterback an:I
ends — as they look at our pasttej
tory this year.”

Evans’ time was fast enough to
win a gold medal in the men’s 400
freestyle in any Olympics before
1972.
She still has one more event, the
800 freestyle, and she owns the
world record in that, too.
The boxing controversy, or Battle
of Byun, if you will, began after
South Korean fighter Byun Jong-il
lost a 4-1 decision to Alexandar
Hristov of Bulgaria. The Korean
had been penalized two points for
head butting, perhaps costing him
the fight.
When the decision was an
nounced, one Korean coach entered
the ring, gesturing angrily at
Walker, and then another came in,
followed by a score of other boxing
officials and Koreans. A chair and a
bottle were thrown, and it took doz
ens of police to clear the ring of all
but Byun.
Almost totally lost in the boxing
brouhaha was Kennedy McKinney’s
first-round knockout, giving the
U.S. team its fourth victory in a row.
McKinney, of Killeen, was a heavy
favorite over Erick-Giovanni Perez
of Guatemala in the 119-pound
class, and it was brutally evident. Mc
Kinney knocked Perez down with a
right hand only seconds into the
fight, then floored him with another
right midway through the round.
The fight ended at 1:31 of the
round.
“Obviously, he didn’t have too
many boxing skills,” McKinney said.
“It’s better to get them easy like that.
By the time I reach the finals, I’ll be
fresh and I’ll win the gold.”
Bulgarian weightlifter Mitko
Grablev became the first medal-win
ner to be disqualified at these Games

victory in the 56-kilogram division
when his urinalysis showed the
banned diuretic furosemide..
The U.S. men’s volleyball contin
ued defense of its Olympic
championship, battling back to beat

15-7 and better its record to 3-0.
MVP Doug Williams of the Wash
ington Redskins and Jay Schroeder
gets to start.
“I’m excited, no question about
it,” the 27-year-old Schroeder said.
“It’s an opportunity and it’s up to me
to take advantage.”
Mark Rypien is also bubbling with
enthusiasm over the chance to direct
a high-powered offense and prove
to his teammates that he can get the
job done.
“They’ll have to see what Mark
Rypien is made of. Of course, I’m
excited — and nervous,” he said.
Once upon a time, Williams, Sch
roeder and Rypien were teammates
on the Redskins. Their fortunes now
are intertwined in a web of irony.
Schroeder’s stock rose when he
took over for the injured Joe Theis-
mann and went 27-8 as a starter.
Williams, a one-time star in Tampa
Bay before jumping to the USFL,
got his chance last year when Sch
roeder was injured and led Wash
ington to the NFL title.
Rypien, the 26-year-old third-
string, waited. He played in presea
son games but never saw action in a
regular season contest.
But his talent impressed Coach
Joe Gibbs enough to deal the un
happy Schroeder away on Sept. 5 to
the Los Angeles Raiders.
On Wednesday, after Williams
complained of abdominal pains dur
ing the team practice, Gibbs spoke to
Rypien.
“He said, ‘Be intense and watch
whaf s going on,’ ” Rypien said.
Rypien had better be a quick
learner — he’ll start on Sunday for
the NFC East-leading Redskins, 2-1,
against the Phoenix Cardinals,
because Williams will be outatleasil
one month following an appendec )
tomy.
“For him, this is terrible,” Rypier,I
said. “For me, I guess it’s timetopuil
up or shut up.”
Meanwhile, Schroeder — an
Pro in 1986 when he threw formortl
than 4,000 yards — will havetheopl
portunity to show the Raiders, 1-2,
he was worth the price ofstaroffen
sive tackle Jim Lachey and twoi'
picks.
