Compiled from staff reports and electronic dispatches

Clemson recognizes 1981 national champs

 

Clemson honored its 1981 national champion football team on Saturday as the Tigers defeated visiting North Carolina, 52-7.

According to Clemson's pregame release, the defining game in the North Carolina-Clemson series took place in Chapel Hill in 1981. The Tigers won that contest 10-8 behind an outstanding defense led by Jeff Davis and Jeff Bryant.

It was the first meeting of top 10 ACC teams in the history of the conference, as Clemson was undefeated and ranked second in the nation entering the contest, while the Tar Heels were 7-1 and ranked eighth. Bryant recovered a North Carolina lateral with a minute left to clinch the victory for the Tigers, a key win in Clemson's national championship season.


Ref gets assignment involving Stoops family

An official from last week's controversial Oklahoma-Oregon football game was assigned to the Arizona-Southern Cal game on Saturday, according to a Tulsa World report. Arizona is coached by Mike Stoops, OU coach Bob Stoops' brother.

Cutaia was among the officiating crew suspended one game for missing a call on an onside kick during the Oklahoma-Oregon game last week. The call cost OU an almost certain win in the 34-33 loss.

A Pac-10 spokesman said in a telephone interview Friday that there's no issue with having Cutaia officiate a game that involves a member of the Stoops family in the week following the controversial ending in Oregon.

"We don't feel that will have any bearing on anything," said Jim Muldoon, Pac-10 associate commissioner of communications.

The suspensions for the officials in the OU-Oregon game will be staggered throughout the season so the league has enough officials each week, Muldoon said.


ECU volleyball falls at Tulane, hosts UTEP

The East Carolina volleyball team fell 3-0 at Tulane on Friday night, according to an ECU athletic media relations release.

The Green Wave won 30-23, 30-20, 30-25. Tulane improves to 5-5 on the year, getting its first C-USA win of the season, while the Pirates fall to 9-7, 0-2 in league play.

Kelley Wernert led the Pirates with 12 kills and four digs. Trish Monroe led the Pirates with nine digs while Mignon Dubenion tallied 4 total blocks. Hannah Fenker had 22 assists on the night.

East Carolina returns to Minges Coliseum today to host C-USA foe Texas-El Paso at 1 p.m.
