During the third period, when the game was still within reach, Hodgin broke through the Tech defense and streaked 67 yards for an appar ent score but lost 32 yards of the total by stepping on the sidelines enroute to the end zone. "We made two or three major mis takes in the kicking game and Geor gia Tech was a good enough team to take advantage of them." The Gamecocks surrendered 27 points to the Yellow Jackets by vir tue of mistakes alone. The punting game allowed 14 as Randy Rhino scampered 95 yards through Carolina defenders for the first Tech touchdown and a high snap from Marty Woolbright over the head of punter Robby Reynolds led to another Tech score. "We made a real super effort, but mistakes and super efforts don't add up too well. "I thought we were in good shape", commented Dietzel. I thought we had them in the second half but we let them take it the length of the field for the score and that's where we lost the ball game. "That was the turning point, with the score 10-6, they made that third down play in that long yardage situation and took the ball 75 yards for the score," continued Dietzel, "and that actually determined the game. Following Tommy Bell's second field goal which pulled USC within four, Tech quarterback Eddie McAshan fired a third down pass to Jim Robinson which gained 13 yards and the first and set the pace for Tech's touchdown drive. "After that, we were out of it." "Our line looked especially good early in the game and our running game was working. Then came the turning point." Dietzel then explained the appar ent injury to first-squad quarter back Bill Troup. "Actually Bill was going to come out of the game a few plays before that one play." (A play on which Troup scrambled for a down and hurdled a Yellow Jacket before falling). "Something happened very early in the game," Dietzel continued, "the players came out and said he couldn't remember the plays. A few times the players weren't even lined up for the right play. It just became obvious he couldn't play. "I already had Jackie Young warming up before the play and he was ready to go in the game. "Naturally that didn't help our cause. The change in quarterbacks changes the tempo of our game." Young completed seven of his 20 pass attempts for 94 yards and ral lied the Gamecocks from a 10-0 hal ftime deficit to within 10-6 in the third period before the mistakes proved too devastating for USC to norcm.
