Last Sunday afternoon there
were rumblings of discontent at
the Roost as Carolina's football
squad watched their own
somewhat inept performance
against North Carolina on Coach
Dietzel's televesion show.
These rumblings became even
louder as they watched the
television show of another well
known football coach.
After showing Georgia's
smashing victory over Clemson,
,V ince Dooley sounded an ominous
'Warning to the Gamecocks: "We
look forward to getting a team
between the hedges" (the hedges
which surround the playing field of
Georgia's spacious Sanford
Stadium).
The rumblings at the Roost
reached a rating of around 4.0 on
the Richter scales at breakfast
yesterday when the Associated
Press's predicted score read
Georgia 30; South Carolina 14.
As loud as those rumblings at the
Roost may be, predictions of a
Georgia victory are fully justified.
Vince Dooley has yet to field a
weak team since becoming head
coach at Georgia.
In 1968 the Bulldogs were sup
posed to be a bit weaker since they
were using a large number of
-younger players than usual and
they were also taking on a tough

schedule: Tennessee, Ole Miss,
Houston, Florida and Auburn.
Against these five toughies,
however the 'Dogs showed great
strength in tying the Volunteers
and Cougars, running up two
touchdown victories over Ole Miss
and Auburn (both bowl winners)
and destroying Florida pre-season
SEC favorites, 51-0 at Jacksonville.
In their first two games of '69
Georgia has scored 65 points and
yielded zero. Also on paper the
Bulldogs are deeper than the
Gamecocks. They have more
superior athletes than do the
'Cocks.
Not only does Georgia get the top
athletes in its own state, but they
are also able to enroll many
athletes from South Carolina,
which Carolina and Clemson
cannot touch because of the ACC's
minimum score of 800 on the
Scholastic Aptitude Test.
Frank Howard and Paul Dietzel
would have given their eye teeth
for such athletes as Kent Lawrence
(Central), Bill Darby (Walhalla),
Steve Farnsworth (Greenville),
Mike Lopatka (Beaufort), John
Jennings (Columbia), Wayne
Byrd (Florence) and especially
such super stars as Steve Greer
(Greer) and Dennis Hughes
(Seneca).

Georgia signed such prospects as
South Carolina's most valuable
player in the '68 Shrine Bowl Game
and Columbia area's top
high school back and lineman for
1968. Only a few of these players
went to Georgia strictly by choice.
The challenge of playing Georgia
is imposing yet the discontented
Gamecocks rumble with high
hopes. Their high hopes can be
realized if they meet a number of
conditions.
They can win if ....they don't
beat themselves with their own
mistakes. Against Duke they
fumbled on their own 33 yard line
and were guilty of four big in
fractions (15 yard penalties).
They can win if...they take ad
vantage of a relative soft spot in
the Bulldog's defense. The 1969
Sugar Bowl game was primarily a
defensive battle between Georgia
and Arkansas, but Razarback
quarterback Bill Montgomery hit
flanker Chuck Dieus on 12 passes
for 169 yards, and one was a 27
yard TD pass, the game's only
touchdown in Arkansas' 16-2 win.
Last week, Clemson's soph QB
Tom Kendric, hit on 20 of 40 passes
against Georgia, completing 8 to
Charlie Waters for 101 yards. The
Tigers' passing game was also
their downfall, however, as they
were intercepted 3 times.
These 2 pass-catch combinations
cannot be more talented than
Suggs and Zeigler. If these two
Gamecocks get hot the 'Cocks can

put great pressure on Georgia,
pressure to which they are not
accustomed because of the easy
victories they had in their first two
outing.
Lastly, the Cocks can win...., if
the defense can come through at
key times as they did against Duke
and UNC. Georgia is a deeper
team than were the two ACC
opponents, so the defense will also
have to be "up" during the whole
game.
Two key operatives ir. the USC
defense are sure to intill in
spiration to their teammates as
native Georgians defense tackle
Rusty Ganas No. 71 of Waycross
and strong linebacker Ben Padgett
No. 53 of Rome are just about
drooling for a shot 'at the Bulldogs.
Who is to say that the Cocks
cannot win...If. On the basis of past
records and strength on paper
Georgia has the better team. But
football Is played on grass, not on
paper.
On the first Saturday of the
season Wake Forest upset N.C.
State. On the second Saturday
Florida massacred favored
Houston. On the third Saturday
Connecticut shocked Yale,
Virginia shut out potent Duke and
Playboys choice to finish last in the
Big Eight (Oklahoma State
defeated Playboy's choice to be the
number I team in America
(Houston).
On the fourth Saturday "the
Gamecocks can win ... if".

The USC freshman team won its
opening game of the season over
the Citadel 13-7 on a strong run
ning game and an outstanding
performance by Russ Kuritz. The
Biddies dominated the first half
with a ground attack that amassed
163 yards as compared to the
Bullpup's 9 yards.
Midway through the first quarter
Neville Files in a first and goal
situation at the 4-yard line powered
over right tackle for the games'
first score.
Barry Cline's conversion at
tempt was good and the Biddies
carried a 7-0 lead into the half.

The second half was a defensive
battle with the Citadel and the
Carolina defenses stimying the
opposing offenses. However, seven
minutes into the third quarter
Kuritz recovered a Citadel fumble
at the Citadel 24-yard line for the
first break of the game.
On the next play Kuritz swept
the right side and speed down the
sideline for a 24-yard score that
became the decisive touchdown.
With the score 13-0 and with 9:24
to play in the game Bullpup Kevin
Korner passed 39-yards to ' jeff
Varnadoe for the Citadel's only
score.
Defensively the Biddies allowed
only 44 yards of rushing and seven
first downs. The defensive line,
