For the first time in modern history, South
Carolina's Gamecocks have a chance to
complete a football season with a sweep of
North Carolina's Big Four (North Carolina,
NC State, Duke and Wake Forest).
Last Saturday, the Gamecocks snuck into

^North Carolina State Wolf pack. The "Pack"
WPW | is 4-3 on the year, and coming off two strong,
although not successful, showings against
North Carolina and Clemson.
E"I was hoping North Carolina State wasn't
as good as they are . . . but they are," said
Coach Jim Carlen at his weekly Monday
press conference. "They're a very
aggressive football team. I think they're a
better football team than they were last
year simply because their quarterback (Tol
Avery) is more mature and doesn't make
the mistakes he made last year."
Avery has completed 53.7 percent of his
passes this season, including 3 for touchdowns.
He has also added two touchdowns
on the ground.
Another Wolfpack player who worries
Carlen is Joe Mcintosh. Mcintosh, although
injured for part of the year, has rushed for a
team leading 790 yards, averaging over 132
yards a game. "(He) is a very exciting
football player," says Carlen, "and for a
freshman does an extremelv snnH inh "

remarks would be complete without the
ever popular 'as good as' phrase.
"We've faced the number 4 team in the
country the last couple of weeks, but,
without a doubt, the Gamecocks are as good
as anybody we've played or will play all
season." The Wolfpack takes on top-ranked
Penn State next week. f \
Kiffin knows that his team is obviously in
the crucial part of their season. "Seriously,
with losses to North Carolina and Clemson,
and Penn State coming up next week we've
really got our backs to the wall." He also
senses that the Gamecocks could be in the j
process of trying to turn a season that once j
held a little promise into another 8-win
campaign.
"After their great win last week" says
Kiffin, "I know the Gamecocks will be fired
up. We've just got to rise to the occasion."

As far as State coach Monte Kiffin is *?*
concerned, his offense will face its toughest '
test yet. "I thought North Carolina had an
outstanding defense, and that Clem son's I
was even better. They seem very similar to
Clemson defensively. They are big all the
way across the front, and are very strong
and physical," says Kiffin. "But the
Gamecocks defense might be the best yet. i
And I say that without any ifs, ands or buts
about it."
Kiffin's praise for the defense has been a ;
favorite tune of opposing coaches all season.
Not surprisingly, he pulls out another oldfr a
favorite when talking about the Gamecock ? I
offense. "South Carolina had a few ;
problems of offense early in the season," |
