That is certainly possible, but this expert found it hard to believe. Rather, he suggested, the hum sounds like "what happens frequently when amateurs try to tinker with a tape."

U.S.C., which savaged Ohio State 42-17 in the Rose Bowl, is undeniably No. 1. Oklahoma Freshman Tinker Owens, who caught one scoring pass and set up another in the Sooners' 14-0 shutout of Penn State in the Sugar Bowl, could make home-town fans forget Big Brother Steve, the 1969 Heisman Trophy winner.
