Wolfpack in Williams-Brice
Stadium Saturday at 7:00
p.m.
The Pack, though, will be
trying to rebound against the
Gamecocks after a disappointing
loss to Wake Forest
last week. The series record
between the two schools
stands dead-locked at 19-194.
The 1979 ACC champions,
2-1, will arrive in Columbia
with plans to avenge last
season's 30-28 defeat by USC.
