He pointed out that lossesGeorgia's nine turnovers against Clemson-led to the loss. "I DON'T KNOW if there's a great deal more to say about the (Clemson) game Saturday because our base problem was so evident," Dooley, in his 18th season as Georgia general, said Tuesday. "I don't know who we could beat on our schedule playing the way we did. "Turnovers-that's our first order of business. Then we go from there." The Bulldogs fumbled five times against Clemson, losing the ball four of those times. Georgia was much less generous to opponents in 1980; they lost only 11 fumbles for the entire season. Quarterback Buck Belue, who led the Southeastern Conference in passing efficiency last season, also employed a new pattern against the Tigers. Belue threw five interceptions to Clemson, compared to only nine such losses for his 12 games in 1980. The turnover troubles even plagued UGA's All-Everything tailback Herschel Walker.

The Bulldog defense, however, has shown strength through the first three games. Georgia has held opponents Tennessee (Ga. 44-0), California (Ga. 27-13) and Clemson to an average of 57 yards rushing per game, and no scores by run. The Bulldogs have been more susceptible to the pass, allowing 542 yards and two touchdowns in the three contests. Offensively, Georgia is averaging 246 yards rushing and 145 yards passing per game. Walker has run loose for at least 111 yards each game for a 148.7 yards-per-game average. "ONE THING I'm disappointed in Georgia is that their defense is a little quicker than last year," USC Offensive Coordinator Jack Fligg says. "The Georgia secondary seems to oe aoie to run as quicK as last year's.'' Dooley had very high praise for the Carolina defense. "We believe that the South Carolina defense is even better than Clemson's," he said. "They returned a lot of people.

Georgia, last season's national football champion, scuttled the effective formula that led the Bulldogs to the title during Saturday's game with Clemson.

DOOLEY IS WORRIED about his defense's adjustment to the Gamecock offense. "South Carolina gives a defense many different looks," Dooley noted. "That is a very big concern for us. Our coaches counted 56 different formations for the USC offense on the films, and that means a big burden for any defense." The Bulldog mentor then cited similarities in Clemson's and Carolina's teams. "They both have real strong defenses, good kicking games and offenses that don't give v ^ up anything," he said. > ' W "All that adds up to make South Carolina a very difficult ; team to beat," Dooley continued, "plus they have the same j psychological attitude as Clemson: they thought they U U u?toon ?'

"We don't seem to be able to put three or four good plays together. We're striving this week in practice to get that consistency that you must have." Fligg called the Duke performance "not the kind of of v | a fensive game we would like to play each week." He said a~ far as passing, "We haven't been very successful at it." "Ever since we've been here at USC and before that at Georgia Tech, I've been impressed by Georgia," USC Defensive Coach Richard Bell offered.
