At SI CarolinaR4 Against P( BY JOHN DAVID SPADE Sports Editor The Gamecocks come back t Carolina Stadium tomorrow afte two wins on the road. In the past two weeks Carolin has rolled over two ACC team: s Virginia and Wake Forest. Tomorrow they go outside th 4 conference to take on nationall ranked Virginia Tech. C Tech is also rolling along, hav e ing won their last three games. One of the teams they defeate was Florida State, who beat th P e = s 1 Bunch It S 0L CS ad CSGan 1adium turnsHome :, >werful VPI Gamecocks the last t i m e t h e y played at home. Tech may have the best defen. r sive unit that USC has faced all year. a Coach Jerry Claiborne, like Paul , Dietzel, is a product of the Bear Bryant "School of Football" at e Kentucky where both coaches were y assistants. In fact, they have been winning - games with their defense as well as with their offense. It was pass d interceptions that helped the Gob b hlers defeat a tough West Virginia team, and pass steals also carried them over Florida State. They lost a squeaker at the be ginning of the season to Alabama, 14-7, but their offense has come a long way since then. The biggest boost to their of fense has been the move of line backer Ken Edwards to fullback. In three g a m e s, the 6'1, 205 pound b) a c k has picked up 348 yards in 38 carries and has snared five passes for 63 yards and one score. Tailback T e r r y Smoot is a strong inside r u n n e r, and has bulled for 546 yards thus far this season. Quarterback Al Kincaid doesn't resort to throwing the ball much, but when he has, he has done so accurately. The junior QB has thrown 93 times with 45 completions. His favorite receiver has been split end Danny Cupp who has caught 16 passes for 238 yards. Their kicking game is another strong point with a 39.8 yard punt ing average and 50 percent accu racy on field goals without a miss in the PAT department. Paul Dietzel said they will try to "take away what you do best." That means they'll be trying to stop Tom Suggs from throwing the ball, or trying to snatch it away from Gamecock receivers. Benny Galloway may only see limited action and1 it is not known if Benny Padgett will be able to play. Both s u s t a i n e d injuries against Wake Forest.
