Homecoming 1970, a festive time
full of parades and decoration
contests, beauty contests and
fraternity parties. It's enough to
nake a football coach go crazy.
Many a game has been lost
because,of the players having their
minds on the pretty young girls
and not on football and it almost
happened to Georgia's Vince
Dooley Saturday.
"We weren't ready to play,"
Dooley said. "It took us awhile to
realize we had a game on our
hands."
The Bulldogs were down 21-3
when the realization hit home.
They drove in for a score but USC's
All-America candidate Dickie
Harris returned to ensuing kickoff
for a touchdown and really made
Georgia mad.
From that point it was all
Georgia. The Bulldogs scored
again just before the half to make
it 28-18 and then put 34 more on the

Senior 4ignal caller Tommy
Suggs, who enjoyed one of the
finest afternoons of his career, got
the Gamecocks off and winging
before a regional TV audience. The
smallish quarterback connected
with fleet Jimmy Mitchell on a
first down play from the twenty
and Mitchell legged it in for a
touchdown.
Georgia then started moving the
ball like they were expected to do.
The Dogs tore off yardage from the
twenty to the Carolina 19 in 13
plays. Georgia quarterback Mike
Cavan rolled right at the 19 and
heaved a desperation pass toward
an open receiver but Harris
stepped in front and raced 94 yards
to paydirt.
"If therie's a better back around
than Harris," Dietzel said, "I'd
like to see him."
Harris -and Suggs helped thrill

ground after being stopped by a
fired up Gamecock defense.
Cavan left the game, in the
second quarter of last Saturday's
52-34 USC loss to Georgia, with his
teammates behind 21-3, and Paul
Gilbert a senior quarterback listed
with the third string came off the
bench and riddled the USC defense
for 270 total yards, ran for three
touchdowns and passed for
another.
"This is o4e of the biggest days
of my life," said Gilbert, inside
the confines of a very happy
dressing room. "We thought we
would '-low them off the field. You
just have to give them a lot of
credit."
"We set our defense to ston

head coach. "We had nothing on

and Robert Honeycutt into the
backfield and tried to run.

crowd but both had to take back
seats to Georgia's subsitute
quarterback Paul Gilbert.
Gilbert, who has tolled at fow
different positions for the
Bulldogs, completed 13of 20 passes
for 243 yards and one touchdown.
"We're as proud of Gilbert as
we can be," said Dooley. "His
performance was one of the finest
we have ever seen.
"Man, they (USC) had some
home run hitters. I've never seen
anyone score against us as quick.
as they did. They made it difficult
to fight back but we did and I'm
real proud of the boys.
"Harris is something," Dooley
continued, "but we knew that. We
talked and talked about him
returning kicks. The greatest
weapon we had to use against him
was Rajecki (Georgia placekicker,
Peter). When you can kick it out of
the end zone there's not much you
can do."
Dooley also had praise for Suggs.

?uggs actually threw for more
yardage than Gilbert. He also
completed 13 passes but his was
good for 276 yards. Suggs,
however, had to try and do it all by
himself. While Georgia was
amassing 218 yards on the ground
Carolina had only a pathetic 14.
The Gamecocks had to play with
out top ground gainer Billy Ray
Rice and the remaining backs
were hemmed in by the Georgia
defense.
"We were pleased with our ef
fort," Dietzel said. "We played an
exceptional game but didn't play
well enough to win.
"We got some back breaks late
in the game but anything I would
say about that would sound like
sour grapes so..."
The loss was the fourth this year
for USC against three wins and a
tie, far below preseason ex
pectations. The Gamecocks plight
doesn't get any better next week.

yard kickoff return by Harris gave
USC a quick 21-3 lead. In a game
that was not even supposed to be
close Carolina was beginning to
make it look like a mismatch.
Georgia, though apparently
stunned by the sudden USC scoring
spree, failed to give in. Gilbert
engineered a 50 yard scoring drive,
capped by Honeycutt's one yard
plunge. Tight end Billy Brice then
grabbed a two point conversion
pass from Gilbert, making the
score 21-11.
After Carolina came back with a
40 yard Suggs to Haggard touch
down pass, Gilbert spearheaded
another scoring drive with less
than three minutes remaining in
the half.
Six piays later, the Bulldogs had
traveled 73 yards downfield.
Gilbert was unable to find a
receiver open, and carried the ball
the finai eleven yards himself.
Georgia had another scoring
opportunity erased when a Gilbert
pass intended for Putnal was in
tercepted in the end zone by
Harris.
"We played an excellent game,
but just not good enough to win,"
Dietzel commented. "I really felt
good at the half. But it turned out to
be too bad that they scored just
before the half," he concluded.

Trailing 16-0, Tech took the lead

Tennessee, who took a 20 point

halftime, stumbled in the third

scoreboard in the last period to
smash Wake Forest 41-7.
The Deacon offense enjoyed

UNC fell behind 15-0 in the first
quarter and recovered in the
second half to turn back the
Virginia Cavaliers 30-15. Tar Heel
tailback Don McCauley scored two
touchdowns after intermission in
pacing the UNC victory.
Two third period fumble
