R u I y lolloman, a pre-season
second team h a I f b a c k who has
worked his way into a starting
position, has been a big aid to the
Carolina backfield all season.
Holloman, a graduate of Harts
ville High School where he lettered
in football two years under the
direction of Coach Billy Seigler, is
a sophomore at USC.
The 5-9, 173-pound halfback also
lettered for three years in track.
In football, Holloman played full
back in high school and received
scholarship offers from a number
of schools in the southeast.
"I decided to come to Carolina
because I had a number of friends
here and it was also close to home,''
stated Holloman, "I could have
gone to the University of Georgia,
but that was too far away from
home."
1)uring his freshman c a r e e r,
lolloman was primarily an offen
sive halfback. However, he did see
some duty on defense. On offense,
he rushied for 116 yards and caught
six passes for ;:i yards and scored
one touchdown.
\V h e n spring practice started
this year, Ioiltman says that he
had no idea that he would he play
ing first teant before the year was
over. This was evident by the fact
that h.- was playing behind Ben
iarnto and lienny Galloway. After
the loss of (Galloway for the entire
seasotn, Hutch Rt vi'e's was moved
to the starting spot.
Ilotwever, after another injury.
this onte to defensive back Wally
)1r'e1, Reeves was moved to de
fense and Ilollonian was elevated
to the starting position.
"I would have to attribute my
success this season primarily to my
improvement in blocking," com
mented loll"man. "I) u r i n g the
spring my blocking was horrible,
but because the coaches stayed on
me all the time I was able to im
prove."
As far as the success of the
enti re team is concerned, 1olloman
said, "There are two important
factors in the tean's success this
season. One is the off-st"ason pro
gram whic"h i helped everyone g.et
into shap. , and the other being
that everybody is playing as a team
and not individually.''
When asked about the loss to
Wake Forest in their last outing,
ilolloman said, "Any time a team
loses there is bound to be a let
dow\"n, but I'm sure we will he up
fotr thli Alabama game. If the loss
affects us in any'. way it will en
cotur1age US to work hiarder to biet -
t'er our recordt."

"As far as running and pass re
ceiving are concerned, I like a little
of both. I may favor running the
ball a little more but I still would
rather have a mixture," s I a t e d
Holloman.
When asked to describe his most
memorable incident connected with
the game of football, Holloman
mentioned two occasions. "One in
cident would have to be when I
received the scholarship. I had no
idea that I would even get an offer.
The other incident occurred (luring
my senior year in high school
when our team went to the Gator
Bowl to see Texas Tech and Geor
gia Tech play. It was quite an ex
perience to see some of the future
pro stars such as Donnie Anderson
play."
Since Holloman is a sophomore,
he will be one of the first football
players at Carolina to play three
years for Coach Dietzel. Holloman
had this to say about his coach,
"As a coach, Dietzel is great and
has a great staff. Our record this
year is a tribute to them. As a
man, Coach Dietzel is also great.
He is the kind of man who will
help you in every way he can."
Lveryone who has ever followed
football or been connected with
the game in any way is familiar
with the statement "wait until
next year," but Holloman feels that
this is an appropriate statement
for Carolina.
"Naturally we will miss some of
the seniors next year, but the ones
of us who are not graduating will
be better because of added experi
'nce," stated Holloman in connec
tion with what he thinks of next
year's team. "We will be as strong
if not stronger in every phase of p
the game next year. We expect a i
lot of help from the freshman v
team. This help not only means 1
playing but their a d d i t i o n will

At Carolina, Holloman is in
the School of Business Administra
tion where he is a marketing ma
jor. However, he hopes to be able
to coach football somewhere after
he graduates. Also, if he were to
get the chance, Holloman expressed
a desire to play professional foot
ball.

analysis of next Saturday's op
ponent and a composite analysis
of USC games to date.
"The computer takes and reor
ranizes game actions and prints
them out in various organizations
mnd summaries," Dr. Eccles ex
)lained. "And it's what you can
iscertain from this that counts.
"The form (which has been
(copyrighted) records what each
team did on different field sit
uations," he continued. "From
this information you can ana
lyze whether a team can be ex
pected to pass or run in a given
situation, the game pattern, the
frequencies of formation plus
passing and running situations."
"It was ascertained, for exam
de, that on a first-down situation
)uke passed 35 per cent of the
ime," he said. "l)uke also lined
ip 75 per cent of the time in
hree offensive situations."
Two scouts usually work to
,ether when they are covering a
eam. One calls out the play
hile the other records it, giving
SC a new approach to effective
couting.
