When he has to play behind Todd Ellis and Dickie IDcMasi, who excited Gamecock fans with the run-and-shoot offense this past fall. When is a quarterback not a quarterback? When he decides to switch to free safety and intercept passes instead of throwing them. What Gamecock quarterback doesn't want to be a quarterback anymore? Pat Turner, a 200-pound, 6-foot-3-inch junior from Canton, IGa. Turner said he's been thinking about moving to free safety for a while, but didn't get a chance until midway through spring practice. USC head football coach Joe Morrison said Monday that he has not f had enough time to evaluate him in in the position. i, Morrison said Turner has not had enough time to practice at free safety, after switching in the middle of j spring practice, then missing some practice after coming down with ' ? strep throat. Turner ran only a few series as free safety and had one stop. Turner said he was excited about JJJg the possibility of getting on USC's "50" defense, especially at free safety. "It is an exciting position," he ,t said. "You get to hold back, but you can also go in and plug up some holes on the sweeps and surprise some people who aren't expecting you." Turner's lone stop came when Greg Welch went up the middle for seven yards and a first down. y , , Turner said he knows he's approaching a new position cold, but lho'? said he watched free safety Brad Ediv wards work out, and he will work out with his roommate, Ron Rabune, a 6-foot-l-inch, 203-pound free safety. r, report says "I feel very confident in my assistant irma- coaches.
