USC running back George
Rogers is one of only six college
football players that have been
invited to take part in a nationwide
tour during the first week of
August. The tour is co-sponsored
by the NCAA and ABC-TV and is
designed to promote college
football.
After the tour's initial stop at the
College Football Hall of Fame in
Mike Chibbaro

Kings Island, Ohio, Rogers and
company will visit New York City,
Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles,
Seattle, and Cincinnati.
The tour has traditionally
become a part ot tne campaign tor
the Heisman Trophy and other
prestigious college football honors.
It provides the nation's media with
a chance to meet the candidates
personally.
Last year, Southern Cal running
hark Charles White nartirinated in
~ ' K ? ~K
the tour. He won the Heisman
Trophy. Also on last year's tour
was N.C. State's Jim Ritcher, who
won the Outland Trophy as the
nation's best college lineman.
Without a doubt, Rogers is a
legitimate Heisman Trophy
candidate: the first ever at USC.
Rogers has rushed for 3,310 yards
in his three year career and he is
one of college football's most
exciting performers.
IN ESSENCE, Rogers is a twodimensional
back. First there is
Rogers the dancer...gliding and
slashing his huge but agile frame
through the arms of would-be
tacklers. And then there is Rogers
the bull...lowering his head and

By no means, however, is Rogers
a shoe-in for the prestigious
Heisman. His receipt of this award
remains contingent. upon

UAIIVI </UO V1& VUIIIOKIIIVVO.
Obviously, Rogers must turn in
another brilliant individual performance
this season. But equally
important, the Gamecocks must
fare well as a team. Nine out of the
past ten Heisman Trophy winners
have played on teams that finished
among the top five squads in the
nation. The majority of the 44 past
recipients of the Heisman have
played for "name" schools such as
Ohio State, Southern Cal, and
Notre Dame.
Also, Rogers must receive plenty
of national exposure. Fortunately,
the Gamecock's schedule lends
itself toward that kind of exposure
with road games at Southern Cal
and Michigan.
WITH THE RETURN of Johnnie
Wright to the Gamecock backfield,
another obstacle stands in the way
of USC's Heisman Trophy candidate.
Wright, with his 9.8 speed,
is a tailor-made tailback. Unfortunately,
as a tailback last
season, Rogers set a school
rushing record with 1,681 yards.
If the Gamecocks continue to run
their offense out of the I-formation,
one of these thoroughbreds is going
to have to play fullback. Although
Rogers is familiar with the
fullback position, that is certainly
no place to hide a Heisman Trophy
candidate. Don't be surprised to
see the Gamecocks employing a
pro set (split backfield) more often
this season. In any event, it is a
nice problem for a coach to have.

facing Hogers, he remains as one
of the nation's leading Heisman
candidates.
Demonstrating - his normal
humble attitude, Rogers views the
week-long tour as a chance to bring
his team "the recognition we
deserve. I'm going to tell them
what kind of team we have and
then we're going to have to go out
and prove it," Rogers said.
Joining Rogers on the tour will
be Purdue quarterback Mark
Hermann, Pitt defensive end Hugh
Green, and Baylor linebacker
Mark Singletary. Coaches Bear
Bryant of Alabama, Dan Devine of
Notre Dame, and Johnny Majors of
Tennessee will also take part in the
tour.
