The Week

Tulsa's defense was done in by the passing of Florida State's Rick Stockstill in the first half and by the running of Sam Piatt in the second half. Stockstill's 14-for-18 passing resulted in 171 yards and two TDs, and Piatt gained 113 yards. The Golden Hurricane offense was no less sorely tried, suffering nine quarterback sacks and failing to score after getting a first down inside the Seminole one. It all added up to a 45-2 Florida State romp.

A 35-0 triumph over Marshall gave Fur-man its first outright Southern Conference title. During a 35-3 defeat of Wofford, Lavonia Albert (Stump) Mitchell of The Citadel ran for 179 yards to become the Division I-A leader in rushing yardage (1,264) and per-game average (158).

Maryland kept its ACC hopes alive by handing North Carolina State its first shutout in 113 games, 24-0. Charlie Wysocki of the Terps bulled his way for 132 yards and a touchdown, and sophomore John Nash, on the first carry of his career, dashed 30 yards for another six-pointer.
