The ball rolled out of the end zone for a safety, and the Gamecocks had a 2-0 load and some momentum. Hut Alan Pastrana of Maryland showed why he is a good bet to be named All-ACC quarterback in his first season at the position, as he pitched for two quick touchdowns to give the Terps the game. The first came shortly after Carolina's safety, on a perfect pass to sp)lit, end Van Heusen who latched onto the ball at the Gamnecock 30 and outran Stan Juk . to the goal to comlfplete a 67-yard F play. The second, coming early in the fourth quarter, was a five yard strike to flanker Hobby Col lins, a thorn in USC's side alls day.

Coach Paul Dietzel's squad, which will be playing without the services of two starting backs, will take on a team which As sociate Coach Lou Holtz says has "the finest pass offense I've ever seen in college football." The Gamecocks go into the game without quarterback Mike Fair and fullback Cooter Williams, both of whom were injured in the Tennessee game two weeks ago. Alternate fullback Jim Mulvi hill suffered a bruised knee in last week's game with Maryland and will see limited action. Tail back Wally Medlin has been shifted to fullback and will start at that spot against the Seminoles.

This was the first time I have ~seen the Gamecocks play, with e Paul Dietzel at the helm. And I h can tell you this-they are a well Q coached football team.
