Sports Editor USC's schedule is not getting easier and some players think Saturday's game with Baylor will be another tough test for the Gamecocks.Offensive tackle Mike Fralic was redshirted last season and did not play in Carolina's 24-13 win over liayior. ineyre a really gooa team and are supposed to be one of the top tarns in the Southwest Conference," Fralic said. "They play a reading defense which means they play off the block and don't fire off the line of scrimmage," he said. CAROLINA HAD trouble with Georgia's pass rush last week but Fralic does not think Baylor's will give them much trouble. "Georgia naa eigni men on me iront line ana Baylor does nit, so we should be able to give better protection," he said. Tight end Don Stewart praises Baylor's defense. "The defense seems pretty big and is probably one of the toughest defenses we will play all year," said Stewart. "The defensive backs play really tough and try to intimidate you." Stewart does not think the Gamecocks will have a let down after losing to Georgia. "We lost a game and we have to take it from there," he said. "Baylor is a good 4 r\ rl ? * ?4il 11 f? ICC?

CAROLINA'S SECONDARY will not be as cautious against Baylor as they were against Georgia. "We won't be as cautious this week because they don't have a Gene Washington," said cornerback See C AROLINA, Page 16 itself threat," he said. "I think it would keep the defenses a little off guard." SWINEIIART REGARDS his second-half performance in the Duke game as more than a moraleboosting effort. "It really put me over the hump," he said. "I knew I could play but sometiems a slow start can get you frustreated while you're trying to prove yourself.

But, overall, I v as happy with my playing and very glad to get the experience." Carlen has tolu Swinehart he may play this week when the Gamecocks travel to Baylor. "The coach wants ne to go ahead and get some experience and he said that I'd possibly get to play a quarter, or maybe a third, of the game against Baylor," Swinehart said. "I'll probably go in if Bass gets tired but as long as he's having a good game I don't see any reason for me going out."
