several of those big plays to defea
the Pirates 17-0 on a damp, overcas
afternoon at Williams-BriceStadium
Plays like a 52-yard field goal fron
placekicker Collin Mackie, th<
longest of his career and the onl\
points of the first half. Or a
recovered fumble by the GamecocI
defense with their backs to the goa
line. And the next play, a 97-yarc
pass from quarterback Todd Ellis tc
freshman wide receiver Rober
Brooks, which gave the Gamecock;
their first touchdown and was th<
longest pass play in USC history.
A closer look at the statistics bear;
out the importance of those crucia
moments. East Carolina outgainec
USC in total offense 336 yards to 28^
yards. In rushing yardage, the dif
ference was even more obvious. The
Pirates, who fall to 1-2, ran for 23^
yards against the Gamecock defense.

20-yard line. The 97-yard touchdown
was the first of Brooks' college career
and gave USC a 10-0 lead with 9:25
remaining in the third quaiter. It was
also Ellis' 35th career touchdown
pass, giving him the USC record for
touchdown passes in a career. The
old record was 34, held by Tommy
Suggs.
"That was a new route we had just
stuck in this week," said Brooks of
the touchdown play. "We thought
we could beat No.30 deep. . . he
came up on me and I went outside of
him and I was wide open. They
weren't coming up off the hash, and
we saw that during the first half and
we got the play.
That play fired up the David
Taylor-led Gamecock defense and
except for another missed Iihperato
field goal at the beginning of the
fourth quarter, the Pirates didn't
come close to putting any points on
the scoreboard.
USC scored its last touchdown
with 30 seconds left in the game on a
six-yard pass from Ellis to Brooks.
Ellis completed 14 of 24 passes for
235 yards and two touchdowns. Ellis
did not throw any interceptions for
the third straight game. Harold
Green led the Gamecocks in rushing
with 21 yards on five carries, despite
sitting out the entire second half.
Carl Piatt had four catches for 67
yards and Brooks caught two passes
for 103 yards and the two
touchdowns. Taylor had three sacks
for the defense.
The Gamecocks could use some
more big plays next week when they
host the seventh-ranked Georgia
Bulldogs in a nationally televised
contest at Williams-Brice Stadium.

Poor practice
Rv JOHN Mil I *s III
Staff writer
USC players attributed sluggish offensive
and defensive performances
against East Carolina to poor practices
the previous week.
"We didn't have a good practice
this week, and the coach (Joe Morrison)
told us not to take East
Carolina light. I don't know if it was
the wjiole. team, offensively and
defensively," said linebacker David
Taylor, who led the GamecOck
defense with three sacks.

beat up and you don't have very
good cohesiveness on the field during
practice, it's not very good. I hope
everybody will get healed up, and we
can all play," quarterback Todd Ellis
said.
Ellis tossed two touchdown passes,
both to wide receiver Robert Brooks.
Brooks denied the team looked for
an easy win Saturday.
"I think there was iust a lack of
concentration on the individuals'
part," he said.
The game was much closer than
the score indicated.
East Carolina kicker Robb Imperato
missed three field goals, two
from 47 yards and one from 35
yards, and on the Pirates' first drive
of the second half, tailback Reggie
McKinney fumbled on the Gamecock
3-yard line.

On the next play from scrimmage,
Ellis threw a 97-yard touchdown pass
to Brooks, the longest pass play from
scrimmage in USC history.
Defensive back Mike Conway intercepted
a pass in the final minutes
of the game. With 30 seconds left to
play, Ellis passed to Brooks for the
second touchdown of the game, making
the final margin a little wider.
Morrispn said the team was not
thinking about next week's game
against seventh-ranked Georgia when
they were preparing for the Pirates.
"No, I don't think so. I certainly
hope not," said Morrison. "I think
you have to give East Carolina some
credit. I think Coach (Art) Baker has
done a fine job, and he certainly
plays a tough schedule, and he's built
himself a pretty good football
program."
