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

"This is football. This is what you run to be a

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

"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.
The run-and-shoot also proved not to be the best

goal-line offense. 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.
