Ray began to sweep around the left side on the following play, and br9ke 84 yards down the field, scoring Georgia's final touch down with :41 left on the clock in the third period. "Those big plays really hurt us," Dietzel commented. "We'd have them backed up, then one of those lightning bolts would hit. Instead of them having to kick, they're in scoring position. It's a fine tribute to their offense. "The quarterbacks killed us," he continued. "We'd start to go to the runner, then look up and the quarterback had the ball. When we look at the films, I'll bet that the defensive backs will be hitting their runners. "It didn't make any dif ference that Johnson was out and Ray was In, except that Ray throws more. He's been playing very well. He is so effective. It really is hard to single out who is the most dangerous on that team.

In examining the Gamecocks' performance, Dietzel revealed that quar terback Glenn Morris suffered an elbow injury that may have hindered him somewhat. "Glenn bruised his elbow and couldn't snap his arm. I asked him if he wanted to come out, but he said he could throw all right. I believe in Glenn. We have gone a long way this season with him, and I have confidence in him." Statistically, Morris did not have a bad night. He com pleted 18-35 for 175 yards and had one intercepted. But he was dropped eight times behind the line. "We planned to throw on them," Dietzel said. "We threw on them last year. They blitzed their middle linebacker much more than usual. Georgia has the kind of defense that if they put the rush cn you, you had better have the short man open. We just went too long too often. 31AL EK ONLY ND EY'S SHERATON BOYS ILLAR GOOD d4-11PM -NOVEMBER 7 ha BIG SOY tzei: ly hurt' "Their detensive line puts up a great rush. Every time we had a man open, it seemed like the pass blocking broke down. And the ball kept getting wettter and wetter. I don't mean to use that as an excuse, but when you're behind and playing catch-up, you have to throw the ball. I don't know of too many people that have lined up and run right over Georgia. "We did things in spurts. We were erratic, but this was caused by a fine Georgia team. The score caused us to play differently. I thought we should have taken the ball in many times when we didn't. "We've had some great moments this year," he con cluded. "We have three games left, and where we put those games will determine our season. We've had two devastating losses in a row. It's a shame we never did score tonight . That goose egg on the scoreboard doesn't make you feel too good. We'll just have to get regrouped and ready to play next week." 1st ANI HABERD) WHEEL-BAI Check Wednes4 For Time 50% off or 919 Sui (Aarss frems SidelinE (Continued frov biggest party, because eve And maybe that's why Carolina, or anywhere in th thing in rugby.

The rugby club on USC's campus is currently undefeated. For the past three seasons it had a 15-3 record. Last year's club was ranked second best in the Southeast, and to a man, it has returned. Carolina may just let a most talented group of its men slip around this spring and win the Carling Cup before anyone knows that this year's rugby team might be number one. When that happens, there'll still be a party. Some will talk, some will drink, and some will sing. If the singing gets a little louder than usual, it would be justified. v Points Forest Drive Berry'sAnd Mai
