Seminoles
By BRANT LONG
Staff writer
The third-largest crowd in Gamecock history
and a national television audience watched
Saturday night as USC was soundly defeated by
. No. 5 Florida State, 59-0.
But only a handful of the 75,000 fans at
Williams-Brice Stadium, mostly Seminole supporters,
remained to see the slaughter in its
entirety.
The Seminoles were led by backup quarterback
Peter Tom Willis, playing for the injured
starter Chip Ferguson. Willis was 17 of 20 for i
271 yards and four touchdown passes, while the

nation in total defense, gave up 638 yards.
"We played a great team out there," USC
quarterback Todd Ellis said. "We could just
never get it together against them."
Ellis completed nine of 22 passes for 79 yards
and threw two costly interceptions. ]
The Seminoles wasted no time scoring their
first points of the game. After Carolina's open- 1
ing drive ended in a fumble by Harold Green, i
Peter Tom Willis hit Terry Anthony on a
44-yard touchdown pass with 12:26 left in the j
first quarter. The FSU drive went 50 yards in ]
just two plays. i
The Gamecocks responded by driving to the
FSU 35-yard line, only to be thwarted when i

massacre
Stan Shiver, the FSU strong safety, picked off a \
pass by Ellis. The Seminoles then turned the ball
back over on a fumble. t

punt after the Gamecocks couldn't capitalize on t
the turnover, FSU's Phil Carollo blocked it and 1
Anthony Moss ran the ball in for a score, giving
FSU a 14-0 lead. I
"They got a lot of momentum with the punt c
block," USC head coach Joe Morrison said.
"It's tough to stop a team like Florida State J
when they get on a roll. The turnovers were a t
difference early." i
Ellis was intercepted again near the end of the 1
first quarter by the Seminoles' Leroy Butler, t
who ran it back to the Carolina 21-yard line.
Butler's interception set up a one-yard scoring
nass from Willie to tioht end Dave Rohertc a
for the Seminoles' third score of the first half. n
The teams exchanged possessions, and after S
place-kicker Richie Andrews of FSU missed a
37-yard field goal attempt, USC got the ball c
back. But once again, the Gamecocks could not c
move against the tough Seminole defense. d
In the second quarter, USC committed yet s
another turnover when Mike Dingle's halfback c
pass was intercepted by Dedrick Dodge, who
ran it back to the 25-yard line. Willis and t.

possession, and place-kicker Bill Mason con

ead.
"We kept shooting ourselves in the foot,"

Seminoles as well. In the first two minutes of
he third quarter, the Seminoles drove 67 yards

ieminoles with 8:18 still left in the third period.
Price, who punted eight times for an average
?f 34.3 yards during the game, was called on

ls, 59-0
FSU head coach Bobby Bowden, known for
his trick play calling, used a reverse on seconddown-and-ten
from the FSU 44, and Lawrence
Dawsey ran the ball for 25 yards to the USC 31.
Weldon took it in himself from two yards out to
make it 52-0.
A series of turnovers followed as FSU's third
quarterback of the night, freshman Brad
Johnson, was picked off by USC's Dale Campbell.
Ellis then fumbled at the USC nine-yard
line. The fumble led to FSU's final score, a
four-yard run by fullback Paul More.
Final score: 59-0, the worst defeat ever at
home in USC history.
"We're totally shocked," said freshman wide
receiver Robert Brooks, "We thought we were
ready to play. The turnovers in the first quarter
really got us down."
The three FSU quarterbacks amassed 381
total passing yards, while LaSane, Anthony,
and Dawsey all had 50-yard plus performances
in the receiving category.
"We made a lot of mental mistakes," said
Brooks. "Everybody is hurting, but we're gonna
bounce back."
USC will try to do just that Saturday as it
takes on Navy at Williams-Brice Stadium.
Kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. The Gamecocks' final
game is No"V. 21 at Clemson.
