I Sports . 8 THE GAMECOCK Wednesday, December 2, 1987 vvatm iSmw Turkey weeI fatal for Ms The holiday weekend wasn't fetliup fr\r :ill The Irish of Notre Dame and the Terriers of Wofford found out that Thanksgiving is a holiday for Indians, not Irishmen or dogs. The Miami Hurricanes swept past the Irish 24-0 the day after Thanksgiving. Saturday, the Gamecock basketball team muzzled and pounded the Terriers of Wofford 81-62 at Frank McGuire Arena. Between the gridirons, the 'Canes ripped the Irish for the second con sccuuve ume. In 1985, Miami cruised past Notre Dame 58-7. But there was something awesome in this latest victory for the Hurricanes, but there was something fearsome in it for the Gamecock football team. Most observers agree that USC will be Miami's next victim 011 its way to a possible national championship when the Gamecocks travel to the Orange Bowl Saturday to take on the Hurricanes. Miami is 10-0 and arguably the best team in college football, even though the Associated Press has them ranked behind Oklahoma. This past season the Hurricanes proved that a pro-style offensive attack (with a pro-style quarterback) and a strong defense, seasoned with a few tough teams on the schedule, would prevail against an untested wishbone team. So what about USC? . j Well, the Gamecocks have the type 1$ EARN Serologicals, Inc. is in Earn up to $160.00 p per week of your time S~\ II f ! I. 1 ?

They have a more prolific offense with quaricrback Todd lillis. Sterling Sharpe and Harold Green running the show. But can thev survive on the field of a Miami team that carved up the Irish in a way that would make doomed turkeys shudder? Look for USC head coach Joe Morrison to change his tune a bit. Before his team took on Clemson, Morrison said the Tigers were the most talented team the Gamecocks had laced. Now thp H:trc flrsi'rvinp of that title. Thcv blasted a pretty good football team. It's not every Saturday a team with a leading Heisman Trophy candidate gets shut out, especially when that player is on offense. A journalist spoke to a Gamecock coach during the debacle in Miami. The coach said USC would present more problems for Miami than did the Irish. Only time and a trip south will tell if that coach will wash down his turkey dinner with some crow. As for the Terriers, they just ran into a Gamecock team that was full ? not full on its Thanksgiving din ner, but lull of intensity and enthusiasm. They're also lull of talent. That showed as the Gamecock basketball squad erupted in the second half and pulled away to victory. cashT need of B type blood. i nr m Anlh fnr Q h A! I f O 'CI IIIUI nil I KJ! VJ I IUUI O .

The freshman guard, whose brother Mark plays for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers, scored all 13 of his points in the second half, helping the Gamecocks rally from a 43-34 halftime deficit to earn their second victory in as many starts this season. The Gamecocks had led through the early portion of the game, and enjoyed a 25-20 advantage with six minutes remaining in the half.
