1980-81:
USC may never see a year filled with as much athletic
success as the 1980-81 campaign. The class of '81 brought
home more honors and trophies to USC sports than any year
in its history, and there may never be another year like it ?
ever.
USC achieved an NCAA first when Gamecock athletes took
the Division I rushing crown in football and the scoring title,
in basketball, a feat never accomplished by players from the
same school in an academic year. There were several other
firsts in Carolina snnrts that mou ?rvt ?? 4

come, so let's take a quick look at what made 1980-61 such a
special year.
George Roger not only led the nation in rushing (moving
up from the second slot in 1979) but he captured the coveted
Heisman Trophy, the symbol of the year's best college
football player, as well.

help lead Coach Bill Foster's "Kiddie Corp Plus Two" to a 1710
season and a narrow exclusion from the NIT.
The Gamecock baseball squad overcame an uncharacteristically
slow start and sweated out an NCAA
tournament bid before taking the Regional championship in
Columbia and advancing to the semi-finals of the College
World Series, finishing fourth in the nation with an impressive
46-15 slate.
Throw in Carolina's appearance in its most prestigious
postseason football game to date, the Gator Bowl, and
tournament appearances by the Women's softball and tennis

improvements on past performances to be made this coming
year and have a valid point.
Coach Foster's hoopsters, who stunned the major college
basketball world with a 17-10 slate and an upset win over
Marquette despite having the nation's youngest team, return
the nucleus of last year's squad along with five highly-sought
recruits. But Carolina will be without the invaluable
leadership supplied by senior guards Fredrick and
playmaker Kevin Dunleavy. This year's senior-less squad

Gamecock grid mentor Jim Carlen has a strong defense to
center his season around as Carolina seeks a third-straight
eight-win season. But without two-time Ail-American
tailback Rogers and seven other offensive starters, Carlen
and his coaches have had to change their offensive attack
and take advantage of a number of good backs returning,
plus add a few offensive wrinkles to offset the loss of
dependable George.

World Series for the third time in seven years, but lost nine
seniors and at least one underclassman to pro ball. Junior
college transfers and incoming freshmen plus the development
of current Gamecocks could take most of the sting out
of these losses.
THE SOCCER SQUAD and women's basketball squad
should rebound from their relatively 'off years and combine
with the growth of other USC sports to bring greater athletic
glory to the university sports program.
But all in the same year?
Will USC followers ever again see a year filled with so
much success and national prominence? We can only now
appreciate the fantastic events we, as students, were
privileged to witness and be a part of during the 1980-81 year.
