The durable senior set an alltime collegiate passing record in the process as he connected on 22 of 36 passes for 2J8 yards to run his career record to 7,982 yards. That broke by six yards the old mark held by Seve Ramsey of North Texas State and a tough Washington team's heart in the process. The Huskies came into the underdogs but game as they battled into the lead at 1 in the final minute of the third quarter and were moving upfield toward a clinching score midway through the fourth when Stanford's defensive troops stiffened and turned the tide.

After that, it was a pretty even contest, but the Rams already had it in the bag, and coasted to a 26-- 9 Western Athletic Conference triumph over BYU Saturday afternoon at Fort Collins before 20,034 fans. The win for the Rams broke a long losing streak in WAC play, as it put a stop to an 11 game loss record. The Rams won their first WAC game against New Mexico when they first entered WAC competition, but since then the Rams had lost 11 straight until their overpowering victory over the Cougars. The Rams now stand 3 in WAC play, and the Cougars are at Overall, both teams have identical 6 records, but the Rams proved that they have a lot better ball club than the record indicates. Utes Claim 1 0 Win Over Rival Aggies LOGAN (UPI) Reserve quarterback Dana Clyde, throwing the ball freely on a field, directed Utah to a 17-- 0 victory over arch rival liah State in Romney Stadium Saturday. Clyde plunged over from the one for one touchdown and unloaded a 59 yard pass to Jim Brown for another in a second period thrust that saw the Utes clinch their fourth straight win. Marv Bateman gave the Utes a quick 0 lead on the soggy turf with a 42 yard field goal in the opening quarter after a holding penalty set up a first of years of frustration for the Indians and their followers. The win gave them a perfect league record with one 6-- 0 game left after a date next for Saturday with Air Force. It also was the Indians' eighth victory in nine games overall and clinched the first bowl berth of the 1970 season. The Huskiest whojiad hoped to use an upset tr stay alive for THE league title, went down to their third defeat in five conference games and their fourth overall in eight starts. They came out with the opening kick and stunned the Indians as Jim Krieg raced 95 yards for a score. Plunkett then went to work, chalking up three touchdowns in seven minutes for a seemingly unbeatable 21-- 7 lead. But the Huskies, playing hard-nose- d ball behind quarterback Sonny SixMller, scored non-leag- with 39 seconds left in the first half to trail, by only seven points. The TD came on a one yard SixMller to John Brady McCutcheon, speedy junior back, ran for 207 yaros in 39 carries to be the main nemesis against the Cougars. His 39 carries established a WAC record, breaking the old mark of 35 by Art Malone of ASU. The quarterback option play, triggered by quarterback Wayne Smith, zipped around the Cougar defense almost at will during the first half. McCutcheon swept for a 40 yard run to the BYUeight yard line to set up tne first score of the game. On fourth and two, Quarterback Smith kept the ball on a roll out pattern to score the touchdown. Moments later, the Rams had another score on the board with. McCutcheon ripping up the middle for a 14 yard touchdown run to give the Rams a 14-- 0 lead with 5:25 remaining in the first quarter. The first Ram touchdown was a 60 yard drive in eight plays, and the second touchdown came after a 77 yard drive in 12 plays, with screen pass plays playing a big role ir that drive. At the end of the first quarter, the Rams had completely dominated the contest, with 153 yards gained compared to a 2 for BYU. Things looked better for the Cougars early in the second quarter, but the most they could get was a 30 yard field goal by Joe Liljenquist. Liljenquist set up his own field goal by intercepting a CSU pass on the CSU 16 yard line. The Cougars had an apparent touchdown on a pass from Brian Gunderson to Eddie Nichols, but -- pass. The Washington defense bottled up Plunkett in the third quarter, shifting on every play into a new alignment which confused the Stanford quarterback. SixMller, unable to practice during the week because of a bout with the flu, took the play away from Stanford's Heisman Trophy candidate as he steered the Huskies to a third quarter score 2id then threw for two points to give Washington a 1 lead.

Jake Green was the big ball carrier for the Rams on that drive. He carried the ball four times for 53 yards. He finished the game with a fine 127 yards, which shouldn't be ignored, although McCutcheon's 207 looks more impressive. The Rams got a 28 yard field' goal by Dan Torzala on the board with one second remaining in the half. The Rams got their chance for a field goal when the Cougars failed to get a first down with fourth and inches on the 50 yard line. The Rams moved into field goal position and Torzala split the uprights with his 28 yard kick. The second half was a new ball game for the Cougars. BYU ' actually the Rams 2 in the second half.

The Cougars, without a Conference win in five starts, have won only one of nine games this season. Oddly the Trojans cutgained the Cougars by only 19 yards in total offense, 549 to 530. That set a Conference record of 1,079 yards for both teams, eclipsing the 978 yards rolled up by Southern California and Pomona in 1925. Trojan Rod McNeill, another substitute, also tallied three toucndowns on runs of 46, 54 and 5 yards as USC rolled to 375 yards on the ground. Ken Lyday was the only double scorer for the Cougars. His first tally came on a 34-yard run in the third period and he capped the Cougars' scoring in the final six minutes on a 3. Neither team scored hi the fourth quarter, and CSU was successful in eating.up the clock in a persistent ground game that iced the victory. The Rams the Cougars 394 to 134 on the ground and 78 to 38 through the air. McCutchoen, Green and Smith were the key offensive players for the Rams, and the Cougar defense was unable to contain them, especially in the first half. Pete Van Valkenberg, BYU's starting running back, was sidelined early with an injury, and Peli Saloune ended up the top ground gainer for the Cougars with 56 yards in eight carries for a seven yard average and a fine performance. Defensively, Dan Hansen was the standout performer for the Cougars. From his safety position, he made 10 unassisted tackles and 11 assisted tackles U lead all players on the field in both categories. The number of tackles by Hansen from his safety position indicates how well CSU was able to turn the corner against the Cougars on the quarterback option play. Gerald Meyer and Joe Liljenquist also turned in good defensive games for the Cougars. Liljenquist had an exceptional day punting, with the exception of the one dropped in the end zone for a safety. He boomed out punts of 53, 63, and 75 yards, and in five punts averaged 50 yards. Chris Farasoupolos had two kickoff returns for a total of 64 yards and two punt returns for a total of 63 yards; for a combined return average of 127 yards, which is all added on to the NCAA career record which he already holds.
