But that matchup never came off. Summer Squall, the overnight favorite, was a late scratch early Sunday when he came up with a slight fever. Now the rematch may not come until the Breeders Cup in late if it comes October in New York at all. Jerry Bailey, who won four stakes races at Louisiana Downs over the last two days, gave Home at Last a near-perfetrip, saving ground until taking the lead near the mile pole.

Unbridled ran last for the first half-milwas forced five wide at one point, couldn't make up ground until the stretch and for a second straight big race finished second to a stablemate. Home at Last and Unbridled didn't run as an entry because even though they have the same trainer, they have different owners. "The only thing I can say is I had to go around horses on the me."

"That made the front end really trecherous but we felt we had real speed, and we told Jerry to ride the race the way he felt." Cee's Tizzy, who set early fast fractions, held on for third. "He ran good. He relaxed good. He just got a little tired," said Eddie Delahoussaye, who rode Cee's Tizzy. "That was the first time he's gone that far.

Defensive end Jason Swaney had his own thoughts on the two signal-caller- s. "I think Musgrave may be a little slipprier, but Detmer knows how to get rid of the ball so well. He sees everyone," Swanev said. "And I think BYU's offensive line may be a little bigger and able to protect him better. Detmer really gets the ball off well and his receivers find the ball and catch it." Added nickleback Derrick Wi"Detmer and Musgrave are almost alike. They throw really good balls. But Detmer scrambles a' lot more. And I noticed that when Detmer starts scrambling, his receivers really run hard to get open." lliams, "The offenses are about the times today. Though Chang lost his serve four of nine times, he held in the final game of the fourth set and finished the set with a service winner on his third set point. Chang appeared to injure a leg late in the match, but he had built up a comfortable lead by then and completed his comeback by slamming a service return past Skoff.

Defensive back Clark Moses, on the other hand, thought the game would be won by "whoever plays the best defense." SDSU quarterback Dan McGwire said both defenses were about the same.

In that 21 minutes, the Cougars scored 62 points. That averages out to almost a field goal out of 60," Detmer said. "Sometimes, we do almost score too quickly. The defense needed ll some rest," added BYU coach one-thi- rd a minute. "We scored at will. It was one of those games where we were hitting everything," understated Detmer. "They tried to play man and our receivers beat them all day." How efficient was the BYU offense? Well, it took only 62 offensive snaps for the Cougars to score 62 points one point per play.

"Talk about coming back ' three plays, bing, bing, bing and a touchdown for Ty Detmer and the Cougars," he marvelled as Detmer hit Chris Smith for 35 yards, Micah Matzusaki for 28 and Andy Boyce for 17 and a TD. "Ty is so calm and collected on every play, whether he has pressure or not," Nantz added. Nantz' cohort, Tim Brando, was equally impressed. Late in the game, after the Cougars had fended off the Aztecs' second-quartsurge, he noted, "What's happened to give the edge to BYU? Was it the blocked punt? To me, the single biggest factor is Ty Detmer. He makes the big plays. It's uncaner ny." There is a flip side, of course. With the BYU offense on the sideline most of the afternoon, the Cougar defense was in action for 38:48 of the game. "I'd hate to play defense for our team. They're out there 40 minutes But that's nothing new. The Cougar defense has now faced some of the top quarterbacks in the country in Craig Erickson (Miami), Brad Gossen (Washington State) and McGwire (SDSU). "Exhausting," BYU cornerback Brian Mitchell called the September schedule. "We don't expect to give up that many points and yards. It gets frustrating."

The play was designed for a roll-opass but the 'Cats had the receiver covered. Until the game at Tucson, Musgrave had thrown 81 straight passes without an interception. But the Wildcats intercepted four in the space of 13 attempts in the second half, returning one for a touchdown. Musgrave ended the game 22 of 41 for 258 yards.
