Coming off a win against over-matched Western Carolina, USC thought they had a lock on the Sept. 20 Open Date State University football game, but '.they were wrong. The impossible happened. & USC reverted back to very early season form and gave ODSU its first victory in the school's 100-year history on a 23-yard ;field goal by junior Looming Shadow.

USC's new "run and shoot" offense played better than usual. Todd Ellis stopped telegraphing his passes and kept his receivers from getting creamed by throwing the ball within ten feet of the ground. And the offense actually mixed up the plays and called for the wniiuuiii; uv^aaiuuauy. The defensive secondary played better as well, allowing ODSU's receivers only 47 pass completions. "Maybe this will teach us a lesson," a USC player was heard to say in the locker room. "Maybe we'll even rebound and surprise a few people... have you seen the Ben-Gay?"

Second-ranked in the latest poll, the Gamecocks struck first at the 10:11 mark when senior Danny Ratcliff headed in a chip from junior Scott Cook. Ratcliff scored again at 42:55 from the same spot off another chip from junior Doug Allison. UNCC began the second half agressivcly, but Jason Butler and Steve Aumer both received yellow cards for tackles on sophomore Grcnvillc Pope. The Gamecocks went up 3-0 when sophomore Gavin Coombs pushed in a free kick from sophomore Billy McMullan at 57:58. Cook gave the Gamecocks a five-goal lead when he converted an uncontested pass from senior Arni Arnthorsson.

By WAYNE WASHINGTON Assistant sports editor Three rushes for 14 yards and three catches for 43 yards arc not statistics that will widen the eyes of any respectable football fan, but the eyes of USC's junior wingback Kevin White did widen a bit last Saturday night against Western Carolina. While his total offensive output of only 72 yards against WCU was not overly impressive, the fact that he both ran and threw for a touchdown was. For White, that first rushing touchdown came after a long wait. "I had a chance last year against N.C. State and it came up short," he said, "but I've always had that confidence to say 'I'm going to keep working hard to try to get it to the end zone just once.'" Once must not have been cnougn lor wnuc, oecause laicr in the half, he took a pitch from quarterback Todd Ellis and threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to receiver Sterling Sharpc. ; While's involvement in two touchdowns earned him a share of the spotlight, but the softspoken Charlotte, N.C., native insists that any success he receives i is a success for the team. Even in high school White believed in teamwork. He played tailhark nnrl nnnrfrrhnrk for the j South Mecklenburg Sabres and earned all-city and male athlete of the year honors in leading his team to a 14-0 record and the state 4-A championship in 1981.

Then came Ellis with his strong arm and high mobility. (JSC 's coaching staff decided to change their offense to the run-and-shoot to accommodate Ellis' skills and White was switched again. This time it was to wingback, but White did not complain. "I knew that I could help the team out more, but in my heart its always been there to play quarterback," he said. This switch from passing to running meant that he would be playing in a position where success was the norm, but White denies that he ever lelt any pressure. "I looked up to all those guys (runners Thomas Dendy, Kent Hagood, and Heisman winner George Rogers) knowing George Wnof?r? hart wnn tlu? here and Kent and Thomas were both good running backs. I worked just as hard as I did at quarterback when I moved to ttie position," he said. So far, hard work has paid off for White. He gets nunc playing time now, but his pr unities arc still in order. "My mom alwa\s told mc, '(Jet your education Inst and everything else will fall in hand for you.' So I thought coining in as a freshman I would have to study a little harder ? more than 1 did in high school. The most important thing was getting an education. Then look forward to football." rp1 / ^ / ^ .<? / /7i u i \ F o .<? # / l? ? ? / <*> <v 1 <b g <o- , / C x oT / O <" fi.
