BY BILLY BAKER
Gamecock Staff Writer
Jeff Grantz is Carolina's bedt bet
for All-America honors -this year
even with Paul Dietzel's decision to
play backup quarterback Ron Bass
nearly as much. "Ithink Ron runs
just aboit as well as I do, and I
pass just about as yell as he, so
there is no reason whywe shouldn't
play about the same aanoWit of
time," - said Grantz who was in
terviewei along with Bass at the
Roost.
Bass countered, "Jeff is the hero
type. He is more of a scrambler
than I am. When I get trapped
behind the line of scrimmage I just
think about getting back to the line
of scrimmage, but Grantz thinks
about making a big gain out of it.
Like the other night (against
Georgia Tech) when he turned a
broken play into a touchdown. He
spotted (Mike) Farrell in the end
zone whenmost people would have
never seen him. I would have
probably just wanted to get back to
the line of scrimmage but he found
Farrell on the backside for a touch
down. Things like this come. with
experience."
Grantz has the pleasant problem
of being a two-sport superstar, wh
ile Bass is dedicated to just
footbalL. "I like both football and
baseball the same," said Grantz.
"I guess it will depend on the
better offer if I ever am drafted for
both sports."
Bass was member of his high
school track team during the off
season in Camp Springs, Md. His
father was a very good college
football player and even played a
year in the pro ranks, "I know the
only..chance I got in athletics is
through football," said Bass.
Both of the talented athletes
seem to have much in common.
Tiey claim to have very little of a
social life. "How can anyone have
a big social life in a place like
Columbia," said Bass, jokingly.
Both Grantz and Bass were
recruited by nearly the same

schools. Grantz visited Penn State
but decided against that football
power because it "was just too big
for me." Every ACC school and
most of the Southeastern schools
offered them scholarships.
"Minnesota was the only Big Ten
school that tried to recruit me,"
said Bass.
The simple fact is that both came
to USC because they thought they
could play here. "When I was
recruited, Dobby Grossman was
the quarterback," said Bass.
Grantz remarked that he told
Notre Dame he was not interested
when he received a letter from
them in high school.
Both athletes say they have
tremendous respect for each other,
and they act like best friends
rooming together on the road and
always talking to each other about
football.
" They make a lot of of com
ments to each other on the
sidelines," said Dietzel. "I think it
is a tremendous advantage to have
both of them. Frankly, if anything
should ever happen to one of them
you know that you have a seasoned
player waiting to come in."
Grantz would like the
Gamecocks to go to a bowl. "I
want us to go to a bowl, but you
can't think too far ahead because I
think we did that against
Georgia Tech," he said. "You
have to play one game at a time."
Meanwhile, Bass thinks that an
8-3 season will be successful for the
Gamecocks. At least it might get
the Gamecocks invited to a bowl
game. Many Gamecock fans hope
he is right.
