State trouncing the Gamecocks 36-12. Although State has lost-to the cern "It was hotter than blazes," he said. "The heat hurt our running game more than anything. Mimms and Walkup had the flu, and Russ Kuritz had been switched to roverback. So we had only four running backs during the game," he said. "But now, we have some depth," he continued. "When we played a major team in the past, we'd play like the living devil for two and a half quarters. Then, because of the lack of depth, the roof would fall in." Although he admitted State would be tough, Dietzel was confident that his players were ready. "We're not going to lay down for them. We won't be un prepared. We've been working real hard." Dietzel also revealed the con ditions of Tyler Hellams, who was suffering from mononeucleosis, and Jimmy Mitchell, who injured a shoulder against Wake Forest. "Tyler is expected to start jogging next week," he said. "He's still pretty weak. He's just been out at practice to get into the sun." Mitchell suffered a slight shoulder separation, and is ex pected to be ready to play against VPI on Oct. 3. "Jimmy and the doctor disagree," Dietzel said. "If it were up to him, Jim would be out on the field this weekend." "He still doesn't have full ability of motion yet." Dietzel also praised this year's frosh team "We think we've got a fine group of lineman" he said, "From this standpoint, I think this is one of the best freshman teams we've ever had. They're a real good group." "They have two fine quar terbacks in Marty Woolbright anc Robbie Davis," he conttinued "Incidently, Woolbright runs the 4C in 4.8." Dietzel had some rather in teresting comments concerning USC's current embroilment witi the ACC. "Of the ten or twelve bes athletes in this state, eight canno pass the ACC entrance qualifications," he said. The qualifications Dietzel wa referring to go beyond the NCAA' standard 1.6 grade average. Ac cording to him, this keeps loca athletes out of a University tha recruits local grid talent. "But I don't want to get out of thi conference," he assured the audience. "I think that it is a goot conference and that its football i: starting to come around again.

State head coach) lost three games in a row." If three consecutive games in the past hold any predictive outlook, a punt return may well figure prominently in the final outcome of tomorrow's encounter. In each of the last three years a punt return served as a significant factor, with Jimmy Mitchell's 72-yard return last year in Columbia, bringing the 'Cocks from behind to a victory. Mitchell will miss Saturday's action, and either Mike Haggard, the starting flanker in place of Mitchell, or Dick Harris, a starting defensive back, will bring back the punts of Allen Hicks, a senior letterman. Hicks has averaged 37.6 yards per punt. while USC punter Billy Parker. a two year senior let terman. has averaged 41.4 yards on eight punts. half as many at tempts as Hicks.

Dietel expressed 6oncern over Modlin and rightly 'so. Medlin caught North Carolina's Don O McCauley, 1969 ACC Player-of-the Year, from behind on a 03-yard run last Saturday to prevent a touch down. Ends Clyde Chesney and Steve Rummage, who has already in tercepted a pass and returned It 21 yards, stands 6-2 and 6-3 and weighs in at 202 and 204, respec tively.

The cornerback corps features letterman Jim Smith. 15- I 173 and sophomore Hill Miller. 5-9 179. Accompanying Whitley at the safety position is Van Walker. Walker is a 6-0 185 letterman. The N. C. State offense, is described by Gamecock scout Jack Powers, as a "power type, ball possession offense that features the power sweep, wham and scissors play offense." However, Powers cautioned that USC must be ready for "more passing to the split end and wingback," from signal caller Pat Korsnick. Korsnick averages slightly more than 10 yards per completion, which along with his average 23 attempts per game points to the Wolfpack reliance on the short aerial game to com pliment their balanced running attack. lowever, according to State head coach Earle Edwards, the State offense "hasn't done enough \ to break an egg shell". The of. fensive line is young and it has shown. "We've had no blocking at all so far this season." Edwards said. Backup quarterback Darrell Moody was last year's starter but has seen very little action after missing spring practice and not picking up some of the new wrinkles in the State offense. Moody, an excellent runner but poor passer. may see some action. Rodgers. a 6-0 200 pound let terman. is the leading rusher in State's unimpressive ground game. Rushing for only 44 yards in two games. Rodgers holds an 12 yard lead over halfback Jim Hardin. Pat Kenney, a verstatile sophomore, will open at wingback Kenney has rushed for 21 yards but has been on the receiving end of nine Wolfpack passes for 118 yards. Last year as a freshman Kenney, 5-11 170. averaged 9.7 yards per play. .\t ends State has Pete Sow irka and George Botsko.' Both were hampered by injuries last season. Boisko has hauled in five aerials for. 17 yards while Sowirka has beenm limited to only two catches this season. At left tackle Ed Nicholas. a 6-4 240 letterman, will start for the Pack and Bill Phillips. 6-2 235. will handle the right tackle spot. Sophomores Bill Yoest and John Saunderson won the guard spots vacated by Don Jordan, who was twice All-ACC. and Robbie Evans. Yoest stands 6-I and tips the scales at 220 while Saunderson is 6-0 218.
