They have one of the best defenses in the country, giving up an average of 12 points per game. They are the Rainbow Warriors of Hawaii and they are no longer a pushover. / i 1 il n iL /-i 1 n 1 bo wnen me souin Carolina uamecucKS enter Aloha Stadium in Honolulu, Hawai i i _ l . ft Wf$rf'Ai .

South Carolina appears to be more physical 3ut we won't know until after we play hem." USC has been plagued by injuries the entire season. The latest injured player is quarterback Gordon Beckham, who broke a bone in his hand earlier in the week. Since USC quarterback Terry Bishop has been moved to wide receiver, freshmen Bill UmMch^vn T?ir?h Inanlrl w/hrKP nnlv experience has been with the junior varsity team, will be the signal callers. Tomey, however, is not sure if that will be a plus for the Warriors. "I don't know," he said. "They may just line up and run the ball straight at us. That may not do what we want them to do." Hawaii has not been immune to injuries either, Tomey said. Star running back Gary Allen, leading rusher and Ail-American Honorable Mention for three years, has only a "50-50" chance of playing. The Warriors also lost three defensive players early in the season, and began the season without their regular quarterback. "Those things we expect," Tomey said. "You've got to expect injuries and be ready for them. We've had our share." Tomey said since Carolina is so good against the rush, the Rainbow Warriors may have to take to the air more. 19 use 74-6 to c(K)1 chari made the mos fouls, a goalten John Zeigler's move to a 22 Gamecocks r Darmody sail illlpii throws and a *S: t 11SC a head, 23 '-Kk' to go in the first - uuireoounaea { ] and had three - 1 over 13 points, | better scoring ] aster Ilo_ , , . . .

"Pitt scored a lot of points against South Carolina, but they didn't move over them. I don't think you'll find anybody doing that against a dominating defense." Tomey said the biggest "miss-match"' of the game will be the Hawaii offensive linl, which average weight is 241 pounds, and the USC defensive line, which average weight is 249 pounds. Another miss-matcn will oe the tough Hawaii defensive line and the Carolina offensive line. The last time the two teams met was in 1977, when Hawaii upset the Gamecocks 2A7, but Tomey feels this game will be much different. "At that point we weren't a team to be hard (to lx?at>. We were motivated more than South Carolina to win," he said "Both teams have improved." he addeiV "Much effort will be on both teams 'his game from an intensity standpoint." "It's going to be quite a game." Tomey said. "Both are well coached We have a lot of respect for Coach Carlen < USC Head Football Coach Jim Carlen) and his staff. "I know it's going to be a dogfight," he added. "But those are the kind of games our foam has nlaveri little better in I'm looking forward to it." p Tomey thinks college football is more | evenly matched, especially now th^ 1 Washington is Pac 10 champion, SMU i?
