SATURDAY'S HEROES...

Colgate tailback Kenny Gamble. Gamble rushed for 206 yards on 31 carries to become the NCAA Division I career leader in all-purpose yards with 7,623. He also tied the Division I-AA career mark for 100-yard rushing games, 29, as the Red Raiders shut out Boston University 38-0.

Tulane wide receiver Marc Zeno. Zeno had 12 receptions for 238 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-10 win over Southwestern Louisiana that assured the 6-4 Green Wave of its first winning season since 1981. Zeno now has 3,606 career receiving yards, an NCAA Division I-A record.

Yale quarterback Kelly Ryan. Ryan passed for 329 yards and three touchdowns as the Elis defeated Princeton 34-19. Yale's win and Harvard's 31-14 rout of Penn set up a showdown for the Ivy League title when the two teams, each 5-1 in the conference, meet in The Game this Saturday.

Iowa quarterback Chuck Hartlieb. Hartlieb completed 20 of 37 passes for 333 yards and threw a 28-yard touchdown pass with just six seconds to play as the Hawkeyes won 29-27 at Ohio State for the first time in 28 years.

Clemson quarterback Rodney Williams and wide receiver Gary Cooper. Williams and Cooper hooked up for touchdown passes of 50 and 44 yards as the Tigers beat Maryland 45-16 to win the ACC title outright for the second year in a row and a record 10th time.

San Diego State quarterback Todd Santos. Santos increased his Division I-A career passing yardage record to 11,052 with a 29-for-40, 391-yard performance in the Aztecs' 26-12 defeat of Colorado State.

Florida wide receiver Stacey Simmons. Simmons returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown and caught a 39-yard TD pass as the Gators triumphed over Kentucky 27-14.

California quarterback Troy Taylor. Taylor completed 21 of 27 passes—including 13 in a row—for 281 yards as the Golden Bears upset Arizona State 38-20. He threw three touchdown passes, the last after he suffered a broken finger on his passing hand.

Texas A & M punter and backup quarterback Craig Stump. Stump buried Arkansas with two punts that averaged 44.5 yards and then came off the bench in the third quarter to nail down a 14-0 win by directing a 78-yard touchdown drive. After the game, coach Jackie Sherrill lifted Stump to his shoulders and carried him off the field. "First time I ever did something like that," said Sherrill. "He deserved it."
