second.
"We played with enthusiasm,"
said head coach Oree Banks. "It
was a game the players were
looking forward to."
"I think the whole team played
well as a unit and it is hard to
single out individuals," he said.
Banks did mention that freshman
quarterback Randy Martz, a 6'3",
195 native of Elizabethville, Pa.
directed the team well, and that he
has a great future ahead of him.
Martz completed four of 12
passes for 65 yards and rushed for
90 yards on 21 carries and scored
one touchdown.
A safety and a 23-yard field goal
by sophomore Dale Steele provided
the USC junior varsity with a 5-0
halftime lead.
Unknown
Tar Heel
stands out
As the North Carolina football
players -filed out of the dressing
room following the opening game
this year, a Tar Heel cheerleader
pointed toward a tall, blond player
and asked a friend "Who's that?"
"Are you kidding?" was the
reply. "That's our quarterback."
It is no real surprise that the
cheerleader did not recognize
Chris Kupec. Hobbled by injuries
last season and used sparingly two
years ago, Kupec had
distinguished himself only as a
freshman passer three seasons
ago.
But there is no one on the North
Carolina sports scene today who
doesn't easily recognize Kupec.
The senior signal-caller from
Syosset, N.Y. has emerged as one
of the brightest stars in the
Atlantic Coast Conference.
"Anybody who thinks Chris
Kupec can't run with the football is
mistaken," says Tar Heel Coach
Bill Dooley. "When we analyzed
our quarterbacks, Billy Paschall
was the better runner. .But we
naever said that Kupec can't run."
It Is in the passing department,
however,, that Kupec has really
excelled. Up to last week, he had
completed 38 out of 53 passes for
717 yards and amazing percentage
of 71.7. He has thrown three touch
down passes.
Kupec was a stranger to
professional scouts when the
season began-but not any more.
One scout said, "That kid has one
of the bt arms in college football.

In the third period the Biddies
went 55 yards in 12 plays for their
first score of the game. Freshman
Lance Garrett followed a block by
Steve Courson into the end zone
from two yards out. Steele added
the PAT.
Ahead 12-0 Carolina got the ball
right back when Clemson fumbled
the ensuing kickoff at the 25-yard
line. Six plays later Martz scored
on a three-yard run around the left
end. The PAT was no good and,the
Biddies led 18-0 at the end of the
third period.
Following a Clemson punt early
in the fourth quarter the Biddies
marched 55 yards in 12 plays to
consume much of the fourth
period. Freshman halfback Brad
Pease from Farmington, Mich.
scored USC's final touchdown on a
two-yard run. Steele added tie
PAT.
With the score 25-0 a Clemson
center snapped the ball high over
the punter's head into the end zone
ror a safety to round out the
coring.
"This has got to be one of the best
lunior varsity or freshman teams
wver at USC," said Banks.
'Certainly it is one of the best
group of freshman we have ever

"We are looking forward to
