Perm State’s young tailback
sparkles in Kickoff Classic
Nittany Lions and
Brigham Young win in
college football’s first
weekend.
EAST RUTHERFORD, N J. (AP)
- Curtis Enis can’t hide anymore.
The sensational sophomore ran for
241 yards and scored three touchdowns
Sunday as No. 11 Pom State cruised
to a 24-7 victory over No. 7 Southern
California in the Kickoff Classic.
Enis, a 6-foot-1,231-pounder who
was rarely allowed to be interviewed
last season, dazzled a Kickoff Classic
record crowd of 77,716 at Giants Sta
dium with scoring runs of 24, nine and
four yards.
Enis’ 24-yarder, with 1:57 left in the
first half, displayed his power and
speed. He ran directly into safety
Rashard Cook at the 15-yard-line,
bounced off and sped into the end zone
to give the Nittany Lions a 10-0 lead.
Penn State dominated so completely
in the second half that USC John
Robinson’s team barely averted a shut
out, scoring with 29 seconds left when
linebacker Chris Claiborne recovered
a fumble by tailback Chafie Fields in
the end zone.
After a scoreless third quarter, Enis,
who coach Joe Patemo said still has to
work on his game, ran 57 yards to the
USC 27 to set up his 9-yard score with
13:22 left. Just 1:40 later, after Kim
Herring intercepted a pass by Brad
Otton, Enis was at it again, sewing
from four yards out.
Enis, who had 27 carries, produced
the fourth-highest rushing total in Penn
State history and the most by a sopho
more.
Otton, USC’s Rose Bowl hero
against Northwestern, had a poor day,
completingjust 11 of 28 passes fw 144
yards and an interception. Penn State’s,
Wally Richardson was lOof 18fw 102
yards and two first-half interceptions.
He was replaced late in the third quar
Aftera scorelessffirst quarter, one
in which Richardson threw intercep
tions on both Penn State drives, the
Nittany Lions finally broke through for
a 3-0 lead.
And it came on a USC turnover.
Darrell Kama’s punt was fair and
caught by USC at the 12-yard line. On
the next play, Otton fumbled the snap
and defensive end Chris Snyder recov
ered at the 12. Richardson was almost
intercepted again, but USC’s Sammy
Knight and Brian Kelly both hobbled
the ball and it fell incomplete near the
goal line.
Two plays later, Brett Conway
kicked a 28-yard field goal with 7:12
left in the half.
Just when it looked as if Patemo
might give Enisarest, back he went in
the fourth quarter, running three times
for 73 yards (Hi the second touchdown
drive. On his 57-yarder, he took a
handoff from McQueary and ran
around left end until he was forced out
of bounds.
Sunday's game was the second of
the college football season. Saturday
in Provo, Utah, Brigham Young de
feated No. 13 Tfexas A&M 41-37 in the
Pigskin Classic.
