"I think we played a great defensive game until the end," the veteran coach said. "But you have to give Carolina credit for coming back the way they did. They didn't give up, and we knew they wouldn't. ( "Carolina is one good football team. They played well, and , at the same time, we didn't do much to discourage them on occasion." The Gamecocks were trailing 27-6 in the fourth quarter, but j made a gallant comeback with reserve quarterback Gordon Beckham throwing a pair of touchdown passes to put USC back in the game. The senior from Atlanta said, "By then they had quit blitzing. I had all day to throw the ball. I don't know how many (players) Georgia was rushing, but it wasn't many." ( Beckham came in the game with just over seven minutes to play and promptly drove the Gamecocks 80 yards in nine plays, the final six coming off a pass to sophomore Quinton Lewis with 5:43 left in the game. USC ooted for a two-Domt conversion. Beckham droDDed back and threw to flanker Chris Wade, who caught the ball but fell short of the goal line.

That reception brought USC to within nine at 27-18, with 2:54 remaining. But the two-point conversion and the onside kick failed, and Georgia added a touchdown to secure a 34-18 win, its third straight victory over Carolina. USC's biggest play came as time ran out in the first half, when Mark Fleetwood set a school record with his 58-yard Field goal, breaking the 52-yard mark set in 1971 by Tommy Bell against North Carolina State. With 13 seconds left in the half, Georgia fullback Barry Young coughed up the ball and USC defensive tackle Andrew Provence recovered at the Bulldog 39 with nine seconds to go. Fleetwood came out to attempt a 56-yarder, but was not nlnca WIVOV Georgia took over, and Young ran the same up-the-middle play again, fumbling the ball, and Provence recovered, repeating his performance ? this time with one second on the clock. This time Fleetwood was on the money, as he had more than enough distance, cutting the Bulldogs' lead to 14-6 at halftime.

"I guess I went out there and thought I had some king of supersonic foot or something, but I sure learned a quick lesson. "On the one that was good, I just told myself to kick with a smooth motion. It's sort of like swinging a golf club. If you look up, like I did on the first attempt, you're probably not going to hit it where you want to." USC Head Football Coach Richard Bell said, "He missed the first one and was very angry at himself. When that ball popped loose again, l looked at him and said 'Mark, we've got to try it again.' He said, 'I'm ready. I just rushed the one before,' and he went out and kicked it smooth." But the field goal was about all the Gamecocks could do until Beckham initiated the scoring drives late in the fourth stanza, as Georgia came out in the third quarter and drove downfield in its first possession to increase the lead to 21-6. Walker rushed for 143 yards for the night, almost half of the Bulldogs' 300-yard ground attack. The Gamecocks were led on the ground by Todd Berry, who had 101 yards on just 20 attempts. Beckham threw for 138 yards, while starting signal-caller Bill Bradshaw had five completions for 49 yards. Georgia quarterback John Lastinger connected eight times for 128 yards. The game was attended by two former USC players: tight end Willie Scott, now with the Kansas City Chiefs, and running back George Rogers of the New Orleans Saints. cnrror toam nnctc UUUUUI IUUIII |JUO L u exhibition victory ALTHOUGH USC started out somewhat led the West tense in front of the goal, they loosened up Club of by the middle of the first half. ibition match aturday.
