GCSS: For the first time in who knows how long, the Gamecock Soothsayer could proudly strut around the campus. The outside agitators who had crucified the poor prognosticator had suddenly vanished, waiting for another chance to attack the resident risktaker. It was the third time in 14 games that the GCSS had picked USC correctly. Last week, 38-9-1, .809; for the season, 88-28-3, .758. To say nothing of how the averages have suffered from such upsets as Army over Georgia Tech, Colorado over Ohio State and Tulsa over Arkansas. Carolina showed North Carolina State just how an offense was supposed to be run; that is, on the ground. The vaunted Wolfpack defensive line crumbled in the face of Chuck Mimms, Billy Ray Rice and Tommy Simmons, while Gamecock quarterbacks com pleted 12-19 passes. On the other hand, Memphis State could very well be one of the most underrated teams in the South. A big offensive line and a fine runner in Paul Gowan should make this game close. USC 14, Memphis State 10. Notre Dame and Michigan State tangle in a nationally televised tradition. Shades of the 10-10 years of a few years ago may be gone, and Notre Dame may have just squeaked by Purdue, but the Irish ON ALL B STOP BY AFh AS : USC4 should win. Notre Dame 24, Michigan State 17. Bear Bryant is still on the prowl, as he searches for win number 203. Mississippi is Archie Manning less, while 'Bama has quite a runner in Johnny Musso. Alabama 33, Mississippi 14. Ask Woody Hayes how good Colorado is. Or ask Louisiana State. And after this weekend, ask Kansas State. To top it off, the Buffs have been on the road and are home now. Colorado 28, Kansas State 7. And now for the upset of the week. Penn State has rolled over its last two opponents, while Air Force has played tough football to eke out a couple of squeakers. But Brian Bream and Company will fly the Falcons over the Lions. Air Force 24, Penn State 22. Alabama upset Southern Cal in the opener. Oklahoma may upset the Trojans again. Then again, maybe it won't be so much of an upset. Even though the Sooners may be looking forward to Texas next week. But not looking far enough ahead. Oklahoma 21, Southern Cal 20. Texas is once agan running all over their opponents; literally. The Oregon Ducks may stand in the way early, but look out after that. They will be down from there on out. Texas 42, Oregon 7.

The game will open the Southeastern Soccer Association for Carolina. Col umbia Bible College dealt the Gamecocks a non-conference loss last Saturday. CBC held off a USC rally to come out oft top. 7-6. All indications show that the Gamecocks have the offense to win many games this year after scoring six goals against a team the calibre of Columbia Bible. Teamwork is the key to the Carolina offense. The Gamecocks moved the ball well and no one individual controlled the offense. The defense however is a dif ferent matter. Many ineffective combinations of players were tried to shore up the defense in the loss to CBC. Three goalies were tried against the cross-town foes.

Foli Phillips is expected to man the nets in an attempt to halt the Tiger offense. The Tigers have a winning tradition in soccer. Last year they were invited to the NCAA Championships and went all the way to the semi-finals before losing. Clemson was victorious in their first game of the 1971 season. USC's Jack Ungaro thinks the Gamecocks have a chance to upset the Tigers. "Our offense looked real good against Columbia Bible. The teamwork and spirit has been excellent. Everyone wants to win and if the defense improves we could win," commented the Gamecock's right wing. ENYOUR ROOM?
