USC and Georgia Tech battled on
even terms most of the afternoon
Saturday before an 80-yard scoring
drive in the fourth quarter gave the
Yellow Jackets a hard fought 23-20,
victory.
"I was real proud of the way the
boys bounced back," said Georgia
Tech head coach Bud Carson.
'lhey got the score when we really
needed it."
The Gamecock defense held up
against a powerfull Tech offense

Gamecock fans, some 15,000,
could be heard at Grant Field over
all other sounds until with 8:17
remaining in the contest and the
Gamecocks in desparate need of
the bail number 46, Bruce Southall,
came into the game.
Southall took a hand off from
aarterback Eddie McAshan for
qven yards to start a drive which
Pedthe Gamecocks into a
desperation last minute offense.

and ran the bal down our throat,"
Dietzel continued.
The drive Dietael wad talking
about was a time killing march in
the fourth quarter with sophomore
Southall doing most of the damage.
Tech wasted over six minutes at a
time Carolina desperately needed
the ban.
.."We just couldn't stop them.".
said strongaide linebacker Al
Usher, "they kept slipping through
us for yardage." The USC defense
played well for the first three
quarters 'but was called on to do
yeopan duty when Carolina failed
to come up with any sustained
offensive drives.
"Our defense had to play twice
as much as our offense," said
Dietzel. "We couldn't take the ball
away and we had very little of
fense. We still have work to do on
our offense," Dietzel said.
USC -managed only 127. yards
rushing with Billy Ray Rice the top
individual with 63 yards. Carolina
came out and surprised some
followers by running straight at
Perdoni.

The Tech arive etided after 13
plays and better than 6 minutes
had passed.
"Southall was no srprise," said
Carson. "He was hurt most of last
season and we knew he could do
the job. He looked real good in
spring practice and I think he is
going to help us very much this
year."
The 5-10 208 pound sophomore
picked up a net of ~62 yards on 12
attempts to lead Tech in rushing.
"Carolina's offensive line did a
fine job," Carson said, "but the
offense I know they have could not
break loose. (Tommy) Suggs is a
good quarterback but he couldn't
get the big play when he needed it.
"Our defense was spotty,'
continued Carson,"I don't know
why but It was. I guess Carolina
was the cause of most of it. The:
ran a lot more than I thought the:
would. I didn't think they wanted t<

"Suggs had a couple of goo<

"It was a hot day and I thinl

was that Southall was just gettini

Carson concluded, "Carolina ha
a good team and I think they'

plays. Jack Moore added the PAT.
McAshan hit five passes in the
TD drive. The speedy youngster,
who has been ticketed as the man
to lead Tech back to the football
heights, lived up to his pre-season
ratings with 202 yards on 20
completions. The loss of safetyman

was felt as the secondary was
beaten by the Tech defenders
numerous times.
McAshan played brilliantly most

Gemecock defense picked them off
to set up the two scores.
Usher grabbed the first and

Linebacker Gregg Crabb In
tercepted the other and moved 27
yards to the Tech 49. Flye plays
later Rice swept the end for an
eight yard touchdown. Billy
DuPre. a surprise participant,
booted both extra points.
"McAshan is going to be a
dandy," Dietzel said. "He made a
couple of bad plays that I'm sure
he won't make again.
"Georgia Tech's a pretty good
football team. They did a good job
all day. Coach Carson has a lot of
good backs and they were a well
coached football team," the USC
mentor continued.
"As for ourselves," Dietzel said,
"I was very disappointed in our
overall play. We thought we were
in good condition but we wilted in
the fourth quarter. The long drive
in the fourth quarter killed us."
"If we could have held on to the
ball more we would have had a
better chance," the dejected
Dietzel said. "We turned the ball
over too much and put our defense
in a hole."
Dietzel smiled and added, "We
got whipped and there is no way
you can rationalize a defeat into a
win. We made too many
mistakes."
"If we had beaten Tech I would
have been scared to death of Wake
Forest," Dietzel said. "Since we
lost. I'm still scared to death of
Wake Forest." The Gamecocks
host the Deacons next Saturday.
"I hope the boys remember all
the work they have put into this
football season," Dietzel said, "if
they dd then we will be all right."
"I know the boys," Dietzel
continued, "and they are not
quitters. I have confidence that
they will bounce back. The big
thing that upsets me is that we
were so close. It was a tight
game."
Dietzel felt that the big dif
ference was the kicking game.
