Offensively, the Gamecocks still lacked consistency, never seeming to come up with the big play. They had first and goal on the four yard line in the first half and had to settle for a field goal. At times, Carolina moved the ball well, netting 187 yards through the air and 107 on the ground, but the only offensive touchdown wab a 45 yo pass-run from Glenn Morris to Jackie Brown late in the game. More consistency in the offense and elimination of the kicking game breakdowns had top priority this week as the Gamecocks prepared for Saturday night's home game against N. C. State.
