Panthers Beat Seahawks in Battle of New Offenses
From Wire Reports
CHARLOTTE - The Carolina
Panthers won the battle of offensive
changes with the Seattle Seahawks.
The struggling Panthers bolted to a
20-point halftime lead under new offen
sive coordinator Richard Williamson
and got field goals of 44, 42,22 and 29
yards from new
kicker Joe Nedney
in a 26-3 victory

NFL
ROUNDUP
Seattle’s switch at quarterback didn’t
go as well. Brock Huard made his first
career start in place of Jon Kitna, who
had thrown eight interceptions and been
sacked 19 times in a 2-3 start.
But Huard, whose brother Luke plays
quarterback at North Carolina, couldn’t
move the Seahawks as the Panthers (2-3)
avoided a three-game losing streak at
home. Seattle was limited to 209 total
yafds and 11 first downs as Kitna spent the
Big Apple Enjoys Pair of Clinchers
Bobby J. Jones pitched the
Mets past the Giants with a
one-hitter, and the Yankees
held on to beat Oakland.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - The New York Mets
didn’t need any more late-inning dra
matics.
They scored early this time, and
BobbyJ. Jones did the rest to finish off the
San Francisco Giants and put the Mets
back in the NL championship series.
Jones pitched the sixth complete game
one-hitter in postseason history, and
Robin Ventura gave New York all the
offense it needed with a two-run homer in
the first inning as the Mets eliminated the
Giants with a 4-0 win in Game 4 of their
NL division series Sunday.
Jones limited the Giants to a fifth
inning double by Jeff Kent as the wild
card Mets won the final three games of
the series to avoid a cross-country trip
and a decisive Game 5 in San Francisco.
New York earned itself two days off
before opening the NLCS in St. Louis
on Wednesday. The Mets were 6-3
against the Cardinals this season.
The Giants (97-65), who finished with
the best record in the majors, had their
magical season end with a whimper, in
part because Barry Bonds was a post
season bust again.
Bonds dropped to 0-5 in playoff series
- three with Pittsburgh, two with the
Giants -with a .196 batting average over
all. The three-time MVP made the final
out of the series, hitting a fly ball to cen
ter that left him 3-for-17 against the Mets.

Bill Musgrave suddenly resigned follow
ing home losses to Adanta and Dallas.
Steve Beuerlein benefited the most
from the offensive shakeup, going 27-for

Biakabutuka, who had fumbled four
times in the last two losses, added 103

Jones Scores in Chargers' Loss
SAN DIEGO - The Denver Broncos
found the ideal way to get out of a funk
- play San Diego.
Brian Griese threw three touchdown
passes - two to Ed McCaffrey to cap
24-yard drives following interceptions -
as the Broncos beat the Chargers 21-7 on
Sunday.
The Broncos (3-3) had lost their pre
vious two games, both at Mile High
Stadium. That hadn’t happened in suc-
start, made quite a name for himself.
Known as much for being one of two
Bobby Joneses on the Mets as for his
own pitching, Jones etched his place in
Mets postseason history.
Jones struck out Bonds on a high fast
ball to end the first, drawing an ovation
from a crowd ready for another cele
bration.
Ventura gave them much more to
cheer about in the bottom half. After
Mark Gardner walked Mike Piazza with
two outs, Ventura turned on a first-pitch
fastball and hit it off the scoreboard in
right field. Ventura, who had been just
1-for-12 in the series, rounded the bases
as fireworks shot up behind the center
field fence and fans threw confetti from
the upper deck.

OAKLAND, Calif. - The New York
Yankees, tired of being eulogized as fall

sive malaise for a half-inning and then
barely held on for a series-clinching win
over the sleepy Oakland Athletics.
Chuck Knoblauch’s return to the line
up sparked a six-run first inning, leading
the Yankees to a 7-5 win Sunday night in
the decisive Game 5 that completed a
Big Apple playoff sweep of the Bay Area.
Knoblauch, back in his accustomed
leadoff spot after being benched for
three games, fined the night’s first pitch
to right for a single. Derekjeter walked,
and Paul O’Neill’s high-chop single
loaded the bases.
Bemie Williams drove in a run with
a sacrifice fly, David Justice walked and

FSU Loss to Miami All Too Familiar
From Wire Reports
MIAMI After 1,013 yards, 100
passes and 51 points, Florida State-
Miami came down to Wide Right 111.
Amazing.
When Matt Munyon’s 49-yard field
sailed wide right, No. 7 Miami complet
ed its 27-24 victory against top-ranked
Florida State on Saturday, derailing the
Seminoles’ nation
al championship
run and putting
itself back into
contention.
ACC
ROUNDUP
“I watched it, I watched it,” Miami
receiver Reggie Wayne said. “The only
thing going through my mind was wide
right one, wide right two, and I was hop
ing there would be a wide right three.”
There was, much to the dismay of
Seminoles coach Bobby Bowden, who
lived through wide right field goals in
1991 and 1992 against Miami that prob
ably cost his team a pair of national
titles. The Hurricanes went on to win
the national crown in ‘9l.
“Wouldn’t you know it?” Bowden
asked. “He’s been wide left all year, and
then that happens. We had him out
there pretty far, though.”
Until the frantic final minutes, Miami
(4-1) had an answer for everything

The Chargers

Patriots Teach Peyton a Lesson
FOXBORO, Mass. - Patriots quar-
with a drive off the center-field wall that
Terrence Long broke in on. Jorge
Posada’s infield single chased losing
pitcher Gil Heredia.
Luis Sojo greeted reliever Jeff Tam
with a sacrifice fly on which Long again
broke the wrong way, and singles by
Scott Brosius and Knoblauch made it
6-0. A routine toss from catcher Ramon
Hernandez forced Tam to dive for the
ball for the flustered A’s.
The A’s had the tying runs on base in
the fourth and the tying mn at the plate
in the sixth and eighth, but failed to
score off a New York bullpen that strug
gled the second half of the season.
Mariano Rivera got the final five outs
for his 16th postseason save, breaking
the record he had shared with Dennis
Eckersley since Friday night.

A week after replacing Nebraska at

Clemson Holds Off Wolfpack
CLEMSON, S.C. - Clemson’s not
all Woody Dantzler. The Tigers showed
that Saturday.
Dantzler has been No. 5 Clemson’s
dazzling breakout star this season, but it
took receiver Rod Gardner, tailback
Travis Zachery and the defense to put
away N.C. State in a 34-27 victory.
Dantzler’s day was nearly upstaged
by N.C. State’s Philip Rivers, the 18-
year-old quarterback who has led three
come-from-behind victories and came
close to another at Death Valley.
But with Gardner catching 10 passes for
137 yards, Zachery rushing for 147 yards
and two touchdowns and Clemson’s
defense choking off Rivers’ late rally, the
Tigers (6-0,4-0 in the ACC) held on.
Rivers threw for 370 yards, including
three long touchdowns. His last scoring
pass was a 63-yarder to Koren Robinson
with 12:07 to go brought N.C. State
(4-1,1-1) to 34-27.
10-3 lead with 10 seconds left in the half.
Manning completed 31-of-54 passes
for 334 yards and one touchdown, but
he also threw three interceptions.
Bledsoe was 15-of-23 for 142 yards and
no interceptions.
Field Goal Lifts Redskins
PHILADELPHIA - Michael
Husted’s job is safe - at least for the trip
back to Washington.
Husted’s 24-yard field goal with four
seconds left lifted the Redskins to a 17-14
victory against the Philadelphia Eagles
on Sunday.
Darrell Green set up the winning field
goal by intercepting Donovan McNabb
and returning it 33 yards to
Philadelphia’s 19 with 23 seconds left.
Stephen Davis ran 13 yards on the
next play and appeared to fumble, but
the play was ruled dead after the officials
blew the whisde.

Dantzler finished with 103 yards

Virginia Stuns Terps With Big Ist Half
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - A per
fect first quarter from Dan Ellis and
three first-half touchdowns by Tyree
Foreman gave Virginia a 28-3 first-half
lead, and the Cavaliers held on to beat
Maryland 31-23 on Saturday
Ellis was 6-for-6 for 148 yards and a
touchdown in the first quarter as
Virginia took a 21-0 lead. But a strained
right hamstring made him leave the
game, and he did not return. He finished
10-of-15 for 208 yards and a touchdown.
Maryland’s LaMont Jordan, who ran
for a school-record 306 yards last year
against Virginia, finished with 78 yards
on 20 carries.

WINSTON-SALEM - Dan Strieker
and Jared McGrath each scored touch
downs as Vanderbilt held off Wake
Forest for a 17-10 victory Saturday.
Wake Forest moved from its 7 to the
Vandy 24 with just more than a minute

Williams fell short on fourth-and-nine.
The Demon Deacons (0-5) are off to
their worst start since 1974.

and two interceptions.
Thomas Sparks Win Against Bills
MIAMI - Like so many times in the
past, the showdown between AFC East
archrivals Miami and Buffalo ended with
Thurman Thomas holding a game hall.
Only this time Thomas provided a
spark for the Dolphins, and he did it not
so much with his running as with his
taunting.
Thomas repeatedly talked trash to his
former teammates, and Miami’s defense
backed him up with a smothering per
formance Sunday to beat the Bills 22-13.
Thomas had seven rushes for 24
yards and caught three passes for 26
yards for Miami (5-1).
