"Todd Ellis just may be the best
quarterback in the country this
season," said Dallas Cowboy Vice
President Gil Brandt.
Recently, when a reporter called
the Gamecock sports information
department requesting interviews
with several USC players, Lllis was
the first to return the call.
He's become a media darling. His
face adorns the pages of football
magazines all across the country.

Despite all the attention and
hoopla, Ellis said there are still times
when he plays those game-costing interceptions
over in his mind. ^
"I don't want to forget them," he
said of the interceptions, "because I
don't want to do them again."
The Greensboro, N.C., native said
(he attention has been exciting, but it
isn't his motivating factor.
"As mudh as we know the fans
support us, we really play this game
for ourselves."
