RALEIGH, N.C. ? Causing numerous turnovers and <
keeping the ball on the ground, USC protected an early j
lead en route to a 23-7 victory over the North Carolina
State Wolfpack Saturday night. <
Junior quarterback Todd Ellis completed 13 of 23 i
passes for 172 yards and recorded just one interception, <
while the Gamecock running attack netted 184 yards

ning back Harold Green led USC on the ground with 85 <
yards on 24 carries. i
"It's by far the best that I've seen us run in a while,"
said Green, who also caught six passes for 62 yards.
But the first points of the game were scored by the USC "
defense. With 9:15 left in the first quarter, linebacker 1
Patrick Hinton intercepted a pass from Wolfpack \
quarterback Shane Montgomery and returned it 83 yards j
for a touchdown. - i
"I caught the ball, and I broke out and just ran for the
end zone," said Hinton, who had three interceptions and i
a fumble recovery on the evening. 1
USC head coach Joe Morrison said he was proud of s
Hinton.
"Patrick Hinton has a way of being around the football s
most of the time," Morrison said. "He's a fine football
player, and he gets around the football." a
The Gamecocks threatened to score again in the final c
two minutes of the first quarter. But on second-and-goal t
from the 12-yard line, Wolfpack linebacker Corey Ed- I
mond picked off an Ellis pass and returned it 16 yards to
the 25-yard line. The N.C. State offense, however, was \
unable to advance the ball and was forced to punt. (
On the next Wolfpack possession, Hinton intercepted
another Montgomery pass and raced inside the State \
20-yard line. Clipping was called on the Gamecocks, <
however, and the ball was brought back to the USC t
18-yard line. \
Neither team could score again in the opening half, and
Ellis appeared to remain in a slump, passing 11 times, t
completing only four for 31 yards and throwing one in- i
terception. At the half, the Gamecock offense still had yet 1
to score any points, extending their scoreless streak to six
consecutive quarters. USC was embarrassed two weeks '
ago when they were shut out by Georgia Tech, 34-0. i
But the Gamecock offense began working in the second {
half.

quarter. That score was set by a 43-yard pass to freshman
Robert Brooks. Mackie added another three points with
;ight seconds left in the Quarter bv kickine a 24-vard field
?oal, extending the lead to 13-0.
The Wolfpack struck back. In the final play of the third
quarter, Montgomery connected with wide receiver Danny
Peebles for 50 yards, taking N.C. State to the
Gamecock five-yard line.
Fifty-seven seconds later, the Wolfpack was on the
board as Montgomery kept the ball on third down and
Jove one yard for the touchdown. Kicker Damon Hartman
made the extra point, cutting USC's lead to 13-7.
Following the Wolfpack score, USC came back with a
75-yard scoring drive. The Gamecocks killed more than
ive minutes as they drove to the Wolfpack 20-yard line,
vhere Ellis took over and threw a 20-yard touchdown
nass to wide receiver Eddie Miller, increasing the lead to
>0-7.
With 8:52 remaining, Wolfpack tight end Bobby Harell
caught a Montgomery pass and fumbled it into the
tands of Hinton, who would add his third interception iniide
the last minute.
Mackie added a field goal with 1:15 left to complete the
;coring.
Defensively, the Gamecocks had to deal with Wolfpack
vide receivers Peebles and Naz Worthen, who caught a
:ombined 14 passes for 228 yards. But the USC blitz was
jffective throughout the game and forced Montgomery to
jass quickly when his receivers were not in position.
The Gamecock defense was more psyched up than they
vere against Georgia Tech two weeks ago, said defensive
;nd Kevin "Chief" Hendrix.
"The defense was really motivated this week, because
ve did so badly when we played Georgia Tech. We waited
ill the way until the second half to play. We knew we had
o come out this week and play from the start, and that's
vhat we did."
An elated Morrison said after the game he was proud of
he way his team reacted to the loss to Georgia Tech and
ecent allegations of rampant drug use on the team by
'ormer player Tommy Chaikin.
"I was very, very proud of them," Morrison said.
'They've been through a tough two weeks. They've
esponded very well. They played the whole game with a
>reat deal of heart."
