Entering last week's home opener against Pacific there were many unanswered questions facing the Gamecocks: how would he defense hold up against the Tigers' Dassing attack, would Carolina stick to its raditional conservative offense, and would Carolina be able to stop Pacific's special ?am defense that had hurt them so badly lie year before. Coach Richard Bell instituted a new ~azzle-dazzle type offense which proved successful as well as pleasing to the Carolina faithful.
