"I think we're better right now
than we were last year," said USC
head football coach Paul Dietzel
after Saturday's intrasquad
scrimmage, which pitted the of
fensive units against the defensive
squads.
"The defense had been beating
the fire out of the offense but today
the number one offense moved the
ball with some consistency against
our top defense. And we have a fine
defense," noted Dietzel.
The scrimmage was held in
conjunction with the seventh an
nual spring clinic, in which area
high school coaches were invited to
USC to exchange coaching ideas

The Gamecocks have been
practicing for three weeks now,
and will continue for another two
weeks, ending in the intrasquad
game in Carolina Stadium,
Saturday, April 29.
Dietzel said as Carolina opened
spring practice that he expected
problems in his backfields, both
offensive and defensive.
Directing that first offensive unit
was 6-5, 210 pound Bill Troup, who
transfered from Virginia and had
to sit out the last campaign.
"Troup has a real good arm,
directs the team well, and has done
a fine job," said Dietzel.

Randy Spinks, Tom Amrein, Dyke
Dolly and Bosie White. All are
rising sophomores except White,
who is a second semester fresh
man. "One of our real pluses this
spring has been our young people
at running back," continued
Dietzel.
The defensive perimeter,
hampered by the loss of all four of
last season's starters, will also be
manned by young and inex
perenced players. "We've got
young people back there, but
