COLLEGE REPORT DAILY REPORT : ACROSS THE NATION

San Diego State running back Marshall Faulk was held out of practice because of his sprained right knee and his status remains questionable for Saturday’s game against No. 1 Miami. Faulk, the leading rusher in major college football and one of the top contenders for the Heisman Trophy, jogged on the sideline and rode a stationary bike. Coach Al Luginbill said Faulk won’t play unless he is sound. . . . Johnny Majors of Tennessee said he will coach the Volunteers in a bowl game if they get an invitation. Majors quit on Nov. 13, effective Dec. 31, because the university would not extend his contract. . . . Joe Gilliam was fired after four seasons as football coach at Tennessee State.
