COLLEGE FOOTBALL : Southwest Roundup : Houston Outguns Texas, 60-40

Johnny Jackson set a National Collegiate Athletic Assn. record by returning three interceptions for touchdowns, and Houston scored 40 points in the second half to knock Texas out of the Southwest Conference lead, 60-40, Saturday night at the Astrodome.

Jackson returned an interception 31 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter, and scored Houston’s final two touchdowns of the game on interception returns of 53 and 97 yards.

Randy Thornton added a 17-yard interception return for a touchdown, giving the Cougars (2-6, 1-4) an NCAA record of four touchdown runbacks in one game.

Texas (4-4, 3-1) led, 24-20, at halftime as Bret Stafford threw touchdown passes of 71 and 62 yards.

Stafford sat out the second half with an elbow injury, but the Longhorns increased their lead to 34-20 on a 29-yard field goal by Wayne Clements and a 5-yard touchdown pass from Shannon Kelley to Keith Cash.

Houston started its rally when Chip Browndyke kicked a 19-yard field goal. David Dacus then hooked up with Brian Williams on an 85-yard touchdown pass play, and Kimble Anders ran 2 yards for his third touchdown to put the Cougars ahead to stay. Thornton later scored on his interception.

On a bobbled extra point snap after Thornton’s touchdown, Browndyke picked up the ball and passed to Reggie Burnette for two points. Browndyke later added a 23-yard field goal, and Jackson tacked on his last two touchdowns.

Texas scored with one second left on Kelley’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Cash.

Arkansas 10, Baylor 7--James Rouse scored on a one-yard run with 47 seconds left and the Razorbacks rallied to beat the Bears and took the SWC lead several hours later when Texas was beaten.

Rouse’s touchdown ended a 39-yard drive set up when Baylor’s Jackie Ball fumbled and Odis Lloyd recovered for Arkansas (7-2, 5-1).

Baylor (5-4, 2-3) went ahead, 7-3, in the second quarter on Charles Perry’s one-yard touchdown run.

Texas Tech 36, TCU 35--Billy Joe Tolliver threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Wayne Walker with 54 seconds left as the Red Raiders overcame a fourth-quarter rally to knock the Horned Frogs out of the Cotton Bowl picture.

Tolliver’s last-second heroics negated a four-touchdown passing performance by TCU’s David Rascoe, who ran for the Horned Frogs’ other touchdown.

Rascoe threw a 55-yard scoring pass to Jarrod Delaney with 2:33 remaining to put TCU (5-4, 3-2) ahead, 35-30, for the first time since the second quarter.
