Pro set gives By The Associated Press Quarterback Todd Ellis says he will miss the runand-shoot ? but not too much. Ellis used the run-and-shoot at Greensboro, N.C., Page High School and was responsible for the Gamecocks switching to it when he arrived. But this season USC abandoned the run-and-shoot for a multiple, or pro set, offense similar to that run by NFL teams. "I had so many things throughout high school that I learned from it, that I learned about the passing game," he said, "but I was definitely glad this Kina 01 uiiensc tctinc 111. "This is football. This is what you run to be a productive offense," he said. "If you got the personnel to run it, everybody wants to run it. I don't care what they say. People who want to be balanced, spread the ball around and score a lot of points run the pro style offense."

Running back Harold Green said he is "definitely looking forward" to the new attack. But Green, who gained 1,022 yards in 1987, said he doesn't look to carry the ball any more this season because -r xi ?i ui uic niaugc. "I don't think they'll necessarily use me more, but maybe better," Green said. "Myself and other running backs, we feel this is an offense where a lot of credit can be shared and spread around." In the run-and-shoot, Ellis was the focal point. He got much of the credit ? and blame. Ellis said the run-and-shoot is a "reactionary" offense where the quarterback must make plays on the run, almost like a guard on a fast break in basketball. But the run-and-shoot was not very diverse. The one-back set was standard, and the offense emphasized downfield passing to a large degree.

A year ago, the Gamecocks drove inside the Georgia 15-yard line five times ? twice inside the 5-yard line ? but failed to get into the end zone. All USC got on that frustrating afternoon was two field goals and a 13-6 loss. That game was the beginning of the end for the run-and-shoot and for offensive coordinator Frank Sadler, who afterward apologized for the team's lack of offensive punch. Asked if the team became frustrated in the runand-shoot, Green said: "I don't think there was ever frustration, but it was a question, if you want to put it that way." The new offense will be more diverse while still keeping all the weapons USC had last year. It is also designed to keep turnovers down and give Ellis more time to throw. "I think this offense will allow us to put the ball into peoples' hands a lot easier when we want to," Ellis said. )L SENIORS COLLEGE STUDENTS CHECK THIS OUT!
