After eight games this year, i :oach Bo Rein's team has done lothing to hurt that standing. The iVolfpack is 6-2 overall with a 4-1 1 conference record, but Saturday hey face one of their toughest issignments of the year when they I ravel to Williams-Brice Stadium o take on the Gamecocks.

"BOTH TEAMS are on the A verge of a fine season The it one that wins will take a o | great step toward realizing it !|? that goal," he said. "This tl I time of year means so much if you want to be in the bowl picture. South Carolina b< knows that and so do their d< fans.

In last weeks victory over llemson, N.C. State had some roblems moving the football. ~ o?;Al. n ic^uiuiiig iu oiiiiin, me win was nportant for several reasons. Not nly was it a tough road game, but also kept the Wolfpack on top in le ACC standings. "WE WERE REAL happy to eat Clemson last week, especially own there in Death Valley," he lid. "It certainly kept us alive in le conference race. If we would ave lost, our chances for a suc^ssful season would have been Lirt." v Smith warned that his team 3uld not make the same mistakes lis week as they did against the igers last Saturday. With the amecocks big defensive squad nd the hometown crowd backing le opposition, N.C. State must nprove if they are to stay in the allgame, he added. The Wolfpack has been working n these problems to iron them out efore the Carolina game. "We've ?en working on execution all eek in practice," Smith said.

Rein agreed with his quarterback and said the key to beating the Gamecocks is to stop their running game. He praised USC's siar running DacK ueorge Kogers and said Carolina's defense is very physical. "SOUTH CAROLINA is a very consistant football team, especially on offense," Rein said. "Their tailback George Rogers is one of the best backs we'll see all year. His second effort is what makes him so good. He hits the creases well. "Their defense creates a lot of turnovers for their offense. Thev ^ should be really psyched up for this game against Notre Dame. But we will be too," Rein added. Last week, USC took Notre Dame to the wire in their own stadium before falling to the Irish 18-17. The road does not get easier for the Gamecocks. In the latest listings from the NCAA, Carolina's schedule ranks as the toughest in the nation. Their four remaining opponents, N.C. State. Florida State. Wake Forest and Clemson, have a cumulative 25-5 record. He in Hi H|Br .JflJ^Kg ;aB i >ted Western Carolina 6-0 in a Wednesday.
