Inexpei As Gan By DON HULT Staff Writer A prominent characteristic of great athletic teams of the recent past has been their ability to capitalize on their opponents' mis takes and weaknesses. Once the New York Yankees, Green Bay Packers or Boston Celtics found that fault they knew they would win. Last Saturday night at Caro lina Stadium it was evident that Duke's defenders would have great difficulty in containing the Gamecocks' high-powered, wide open offense. Five times (luring the second half the offense moved down near the Duke goal line. They were unable to take ad vantage of the Blue Devils' yield ing defense, and they came out a loser. Like great teams, however, the 'Cocks did not lose their com posure when their opponents gained the early 14- advantage. Duke was doing nothing fancy in moving for their two touch downs. Quarterback Leo Hart simply was faking a running play with his backs, then throwing to his receiNers who had delayed for two or three seconds before ex ecuting their pass patterns. Carolina's defensive backs took a bit too much time in adjustiing, however, and the I)uke offense lost no time capitalizing on it. There is a defnite trend in col lege football towards wide open, high-powered offensive football. In keeping with this trend, Coach Paul Dietzel and his assistants decided last spring to open up the offense with wide set receiv ers and a split backfield. D)uring the spring and fall, the 'Cocks ii,ved the ball up and down the field. This ability was shovn again as the 'Cock; miioved into scoring territory with rela tive ease on the runni.ig of Rudy| Holloman, Warren Muir and len Gallow%-ay and the pass-receiving of Fred Zeigler, Ed Bolton and John Gregory. Quarterbacks Randy Yoakuni and Tommy Suggs sowed great imagination in leading Carolina to scoring territory within the Duke 20-yard line. On the crucial situations, how%-. ever, the Gamecocks inexperienced line seemed unable to give Muir and Galloway those extra few feet which would have resulted in first downs and probable touch dovns. Once adjusted, the defense was most effective, and once the of fensive personnel gain a bit more experience and polish in execu tion. USC will have a good foot ball team. Psychology also plays such a vital role in football as seen with the NFL New Orleans Saints. In their first season, the team lacked the manpower to compete with the estalished teams. However, the 75,0001 loyal and enthusiastic fans stayed, with the Saints no matter what the score or time shoowing on the score board. T1he pla yeris were the fi r.t to adminit that the Saints' thbre, I 97 vict ories woulId have beoen impossible without their fans. If that studn ent body Ivect ion at Carolina Stadium can show simi lar enthusiasm and loyaty, I'S( will have a great football team. BRITTONS WILL BE CLOSED TODAY in observance of religious holidays.
