Boston College shook off its Monday night loss to Notre Dame and whipped Temple 27-9 after just four days of preparation. The Eagles parlayed strong running, timely passing and opportunistic defense to score in every quarter. The first of three pass interceptions set up the opening touchdown, a six-yard run by Glen Capriola, and Keith Barnette romped 70 yards for the second. Fred Steinfort's two field goals and three PATs and a 36-yard pass from Mike Kruczek to Don Petersen gave Boston College its other points. The defense held Temple to 76 yards rushing and allowed but nine completions in 30 passing attempts. After that poor performance Owl Coach Wayne Hardin was happy to see an open date scheduled for this week. "I think a bye right now is in order," he said.
Army and Navy stayed unbeaten with overwhelming offensive games against College Division opponents. The Cadets bombarded Lehigh 54-32, while the Middies torpedoed Connecticut 55-7.
Army's 644 yards of offense was its biggest output since the Blanchard-Davis days. Brad Dodrill gained 153 yards in 13 carries, Tony Pyne carried for two touchdowns and 117 yards and Quarterback Scott Gillogly rushed and passed for 113 yards and three scores. When Gillogly was on the sidelines 6'5" sophomore Leamon Hall was completing 14 of 19 passes for 184 yards and two TDs. Most of Lehigh's offense was provided by Quarterback Joe Sterrett, whose 14 completions in 22 attempts produced 301 yards and three touchdowns.
A 25-yard return of an interception by Ed Jeter started Navy on the way to its highest point production in 22 years. Six different players took part in the scoring, including Larry Muczynski, who kicked two field goals, and Ed Gilmore, who dashed six and 47 yards for touchdowns. Navy amassed 512 yards overall and allowed but 53 and two first downs, both in the last five minutes.
After freshman Dave Jacobs' 41-yard field goal with 22 seconds left gave Syracuse a 10-7 lead over Iowa the Orange coaches and players rushed out on the field to congratulate him. That show of enthusiasm brought a 15-yard penalty on the following kickoff, but the Orange held on to win its second straight game. Villanova also pulled out a narrow victory when Brian Sikorski's 14-yard pass to John Mastronardo in the last 38 seconds beat Toledo 14-10. The touchdown was the Wildcats' second in the period, the first coming on a one-yard run by Mike Frazier.
Rutgers trounced Bucknell 47-3 as Matt Allison, a former outfielder in the Philadelphia Phillies' minor-league system, completed four touchdown passes. The 21-year-old lefthander started his first college game because of an injury to Bert Kosup. Allison completed 10 of 13 passes for 167 yards and had scoring strikes of 48 and 55 yards to Mark Twitty and a pair of seven yarders to Tight End Jon Walling and Fullback Curt Edwards.
Mark Murphy intercepted three passes and Jerry Andrewlavage kicked three field goals to spark Colgate's 16-0 defeat of The Citadel.
