morrow night.
The offensive line is experienced,
but the familiar problem of lack of
depth could undermine their ef
fectiveness.
The defensive unit was a big
question facing the Virginia staff
at the season's beginning, but since
then they have molded a defensive
squad that is balanced and works
together.
"Primarily they use a five-man
front with a lot of stunting and
linebacker blitzing," Wyche said.
The linebackers are led by senior
Malcolm MacGregor who is a candi
date for all-ACC honors. He is also
the Virginia captain.
Safety Paul Klingensmith has
started the past two seasons and
fought off a strong bid to retain
his spot this year. He is one of the
fastest men on the Cavalier squad.
Virginia's record stands at 2-2,
but they have played good football
with a few lapses. Last week they
had the opportunity to secure a
Homecoming victory over Duke,
but they were thwarted by un
timely penalties.
Their other loss came at the
hands of Army in the season'r
opener. Victories were over Wakc
Forest and Buffalo.

affair. Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.

And adding timportance to the
challenge of stopping the air at
tack was the fact that one of the
strong links in Coach Lou Holtz's
pass defense, Toy McCord, had
been injured in the Georgia game
and was unable to make the trip
to Tallahassee.
Saturday m o r n i n g dawned
bright, but for one Gamecock it
was not so pleasant. Wally Or
rel spun out of bed, put his feet
down and almost collapsed. The
defensive back had given his
previously injured knee a twist in
alighting from the bus Friday,
and Saturday morning found him
self unable to play against FSU.
The game itself started on an
ominous note for Carolina. The
Seminoles returned the kickoff to
their 30. On the first play from
scrimmage, the Florida State
passer lofted a high pass down
field for split end Ron Sellers.
The Gamecock defenders had
the receiver surrounded but were
guilty of shielding his eyes and
were charged with pass interfer
ence.
That gave the Seminoles the
ball on the USC 30, and from
there a down-and-out pass to Sel
